    on the net i only have or need one name; themnax. no first and last to it.

    patranymics are in a major way a crock, because no one, no soul, seriously 'inheirits' traits in their cells or their blood. awairnessess aren't the ofspring of the parents of their bodies. souls come from the soul place. we're born into boddies to walk arround this tangable universe in. kind of like training wheels on a bicycle.

    the only reason to need more then one name is this whole crap of naming people after each other, which to me, is nuttier then a damd fruitcake to begin with. if everyone had unique enough names, mostly this wouldn't be needed at all.

    of course in larger towns, where there are a lot of people, then a few might still end up with similar sounding names. then, and really only then, would you need a second or more then second name.

    and for that i prefer locatives, such as served this purpose before patranymics became the inanely mundane mainstream. back however many thousand or so years ago.

    locatives such as glibnard of three mountains, of felzag of flat rock, that sort of thing.

    instead of james bolivar de'griz, or mary ellen mortvain.

    I have never given my name out to others over the net. Since I have a fairly unique first name and an italian last name, it would make things alot easier for cyber predators..ya know..

    But names arent all that important, its if your drawn to the person your talking to that matters.
