Oh, go on, then. I actually filled this out when I first saw it on jacinthsong's journal, but never got round to posting it. The meme: write out your friends list, replacing their usernames with their first names. Anyone you don't know should introduce themselves, obliquely or otherwise!

I've missed out all my own journals and all duplicate journals, which means you can't do a straight comparison from my friends list to this. But then, the only person you need to recognise on here is yourself...

My name is Carmen (...though I would have liked Anna Livia better)

*un abrazo*

Anna Livia is rather lovely. I like the softness of the first contrasted with the harshness of the second; not so much in sounds as in associations. Karenina and Caesar. Would you call a daughter that, or is it too much your own?

That association you mention has made think again about this name and now I like it even more... I see more of me in it because I think I have those two sides, the softness and the harshness. that nick, as you no doubt know, comes from Joyce's Finnegan's Wake. I chose it because I liked how it sounds and its symbolism. Anna Livia is in constant transformation, always changing, always unchanged.

It's not a very common name here in Spain, but If I had a daughter I would probably give that name to her.
