One of my New year’s resolutions is scrapping more pages about me and adding them to my 2018 PL book. This layout tells the story about my nickname and about how it got it. My real name is Sarah, but when you want to register to a forum or a board, this name is probably taken already. So I started searching for another name. As a teenager I was passionate about Greek mythology. So I took a nickname based on one of the goddesses in Greek mythology. My nickname was Selena, the Greek goddess of the moon. But after a few years, I outgrow my nackname. So the search for another one started again. During that time, 2005, I often went to see the Magical Flying Thunderbirds with friends. They were a Belgium coverband. The leadsinger of the band his name is Philippe, but he called himself Phile Magical Fly or short PhileMF. So my friend and I called ourselfs NeleMF (my friend) and SaarMF (me). Saar is in Dutch the short version for Sarah. In the meanwhile, I dropped the MF, but I kept Saar. To make a long story short… My nickname is just the short version of Sarah. Some real life friends even call me Saar instead of Sarah.
love it I often wondered what your real name was. Great explanation and journaling an Saar is a very pretty and unique and like you said still means Sarah beautifully scrapped! Your shadowing is awesome.. page looks like a paper page well done!
I love that you found a name that meant the same in another language! That's a neat way to pick a user name! The angel wings reflecting your previous name are beautiful.
