WELCOMING NEW MEMBERS (PART 2) · by **Gala Placidia** Wed Apr 16, 2014 4:14 pm

I had to start a new thread as the previous one had too many pages and I missed welcoming a few new members. Sorry! Anyway, back on duty!
A warm welcome to our 149th member, Rosmarino. Glad to have you here and it is great that you wrote a bit about yourself. This does not happen all the time... unfortunately.
We trust that you will enjoy this Forum! Very Happy

Benvenuto, jordan144! Member number 150! Or should we call you Giordano...?

Re: WELCOMING NEW MEMBERS (PART 2) · by stevegwmonkseaton Mon Apr 21, 2014 7:30 pm

Right on Q Gala, nice one on the name as well...

Re: WELCOMING NEW MEMBERS (PART 2) · by **Gala Placidia** Mon Apr 21, 2014 7:33 pm

Well, Jordan/Giordano is very proud of his Italian ancestry and wishes to live in Italy... so a name change will not be out of place Very Happy

Re: WELCOMING NEW MEMBERS (PART 2) · by stevegwmonkseaton Mon Apr 21, 2014 8:15 pm

No, no Gala... really I agree and I like it....

Re: WELCOMING NEW MEMBERS (PART 2) · by **Gala Placidia** Mon Apr 21, 2014 9:42 pm

Perhaps we should all go to the Italian version of our names... how would you like Stefano Il Monaco-Seaton. Very Happy

And I should use the Latin version Aelia Galla Placidia Sad

I already feel dead and buried in a mausoleum What a Face

Already there Gala! Smile

But how's 'Lanciare' going to feel about it? Question

You are right, ghiro, but "fare a testa e croce" would be even worse Sad

and way too long...
Better stick to our existing names... Very Happy

Thanks for the welcome, and i quite like Giordano maybe i'll use that name once i move to Italy in the future Very Happy

Edit- What would you do if your name doesn't have a translation would you just add a vowel? E-g Brendan would be Brendano, i know you don't need a Italian version but it's fun Smile

Re: WELCOMING NEW MEMBERS (PART 2) · by **Gala Placidia** Fri Apr 25, 2014 8:16 pm

There is no Italian translation of the Irish name Brendan (which means "prince" in Gaelic; however, there is a Latin name for the patron saint: "Brendanus", which is not quite nice. Another option would be the closest Italian name: "Brando", although it comes from the German name for a sword. I quite like Brando.

Well Marlon was ok...

Re: WELCOMING NEW MEMBERS (PART 2) · by **Gala Placidia** Fri Apr 25, 2014 9:15 pm

Marlon's original surname was Brandau (German ancestry) and I agree, he was OK. Very Happy

I think you must be showing your age Gala, was that not his father... x

Re: WELCOMING NEW MEMBERS (PART 2) · by **Gala Placidia** Fri Apr 25, 2014 10:55 pm

No, his grandfather and I did not meet him Very Happy

Actually, I am younger than Brando... In any case, I am not celebrating any more birthdays... Nothing to "celebrate"

Re: WELCOMING NEW MEMBERS (PART 2) · by stevegwmonkseaton Sat Apr 26, 2014 7:33 am

Come on Gala you will have to celebrate your next one cheers

A warm welcome to getsett, Member Nr 151. Enjoy the Forum!

Re: WELCOMING NEW MEMBERS (PART 2) · by getsett Mon Apr 28, 2014 9:15 pm

Thank you Gala Placida. It is good to see familiar names from elsewhere. I only found this new forum last week!

Re: WELCOMING NEW MEMBERS (PART 2) · by **Gala Placidia** Mon Apr 28, 2014 9:18 pm

You will find some old names... and new identities, as well. Enjoy!

Re: WELCOMING NEW MEMBERS (PART 2) · by stevegwmonkseaton Tue Apr 29, 2014 8:36 am

Can't believe we still have people only now finding this forum, there must be some way of telling them....

Re: WELCOMING NEW MEMBERS (PART 2) · by **Gala Placidia** Tue Apr 29, 2014 12:00 pm

I think that we will still get a few old names. Some do not know we are here, some are watching us to see how it evolves...

Re: WELCOMING NEW MEMBERS (PART 2) · by **Gala Placidia** Sat May 03, 2014 5:57 pm

A warm welcome to Portia, our latest new member but an old friend... Great to hear that you managed to find us. Enjoy!
