How does the saying go? A rose by any other name is still a rose? Well I don’t agree, which is why I’m changing my nick. From now on I’ll be known as Iza.

Iza
the former Sisi

I was wondering who Iza was with all those posts! I knew I shoulda seen the name before!

Well I will say congratulations on the name change -- it deserves a party! Did any particular event bring it on?

Cheers!

Cool name, Iza. What is the provenance?

SeattleDeb · #4 02-13-2001, 10:41 PM

I'm going to miss Sisi, but welcome Iza

Ditto

I kinda like Sisi...so French. I guess I will get used to it.

Welcome Iza, we will miss Sisi.

Why Iza? Cause it's short for Isabelle. Added a z because it's such a nice letter and it doesn't get too much used in French.

Why the name change? Ever since I've learned the meaning of sissy in English I wanted a new name. Plus I prefer to use my own name.

Maybe Sisi will come back once in while you know like the other CC....

CC you say the sweetness things.

Mezzaluna · #9 02-14-2001, 11:04 PM

Ah! I adore the name Isabelle. Thanks for clarifying that. Now the name has context for me. My own name is rather plain and so I chose Mezzaluna because it has cache (need an accent on the 'e'). Later I wondered if I'd misspelled it. Too late now, if I did. Why did the rest of you choose your screen names?

Isabelle,

It does't matter to me what name you use.
As long as you continue to post and be our friend. Do you know that Sisi and cc sound the same?

It's a four-letter word I can type without being censored! Plus, if it's good enough for my Mom, it's good enough for me. She saved me from being a Byron (Dad's idea, I would never have forgiven him!)

I have bunny rabbits, and I used to have one a few years ago, by the name of Reg. When I was first trying to think up an email address, I thought of momoreg (since I'm his mom). It stuck. Reg is long gone, and I have 2 other bunnies now, but his legacy lives on.

I kinda wish I had thought up a special food-oriented name for this site, but I use momoreg for everything, that wasy I don't forget which name went with which.

Greg I am glad you're Greg and not Byron.

Mezzaluna, I like that name, it has a nice ring and cachet and a touch of exoticism.

Momoreg that is such a nice story. I never had rabbits. We had a dog, a cat who ran away at some point, many hamsters, mouse turtles and fish. I have two cats now, one isn't mine, she was abandoned last summer and stayed in the neighbourhood. When it got cold outside I couldn't stand thinking she might be cold so I took her in.

My wife gets mad at me because I use oregano in and on everything. It is my favorite herb, so simple and basic, but OH what versitility!! I know there are a lot of other herbs out there that are more politically correct in todays cooking styles, but give me good 'ol fashioned oregano and basil and I am in heaven!!!!!!

Shroomgirl~ really like cooking, hunting and serving wild mushrooms and am active in our mycological group....didn't realize how many associate "shroom" with hallucinogenic finds...or would have added the mu
though I think it sounds way to fungal.
5 more weeks til Morels are out!!!!! only 4 monthes til Chanterelles!!!!This should be an incredible year because of all the snow.
