Atiniir

Recently I changed my online handle to atiniir. I’ve been using kerfufl or my real name sort of sporadically for 5 or 6 years but recently using kerfufl has bothered me. I’ve been going through a lot of changes in 2009 and I don\’t percieve myself as a noisy disturbance or commotion anymore. I don’t think it suits me and it’s not the idea I want to project.

After a few months of consideration (not continuously) I have chosen ‘atiniir’ it is a Mando’a (as in Mandalorian, as in Boba Fett, as in Star Wars) word:

• atiniir (ah-teen-EER) – to endure, to stick with, to tough it out

I like how it sounds and i like what it means. I also like that it seems sort of vaguely elvish.

I’ve had a few different handles in my ether life and I’ve had a few different names in my corporeal life, i think your name says a lot about you. i think part of what makes you “you” is your name, just as your hands and nose and feet make are part of “you”
