My Name and Username
Continuing my series on the names and usernames of each of my accounts, here is the explanation for my Darcy Aisling account for all who are interested!
Darcy comes from my given name and is from a namebook and was chosen because of its Irish origin and its associated meaning of “dark one” since I have black hair
Aisling comes from an Irish name I found that originates from a specific type of Irish poetry that relates to visions and dreams; while I haven't written any Aisling poems, as a writer and a person adopted into a family of Irish heritage on my adoptive father's side, I thought the name was fitting for this account; it also starts with "a" just like "adoptee" does in my username
Dancingadopteethoughts comes from "dancing" starting with "d" like Darcy, "adoptee" being related to the purpose of this page to share my adoptee writings, and "thoughts" relating to the fact I'm sharing my various feelings and experiences surrounding adoption through writing; "dancing" also fits because my thoughts around adoption have been pretty fluid throughout my life
