I just went into my account and changed part of my name. It used to be "LiliMarlene", my first and middle names, but my friends usually call me "Lil", so I'm more comfortable with that.

Lil, we would have eventually nicknamed you that anyway!
thanks, Rose. When I first posted on here, that was something that I said, I explained my name and said that my friends usually called me "Lil" and that I hoped I would become friends with lots of people here, so far, I've met lots who are just great and am getting to being friends with several, though at times it may seem sporadic..... it's never meant to be!
Well, Lil! We all get busy and making friends on here as well as learning Celtic culture and listening to all the wonderful music on here is what it is all about. I hope you make some really good friends here as I have.
though my handle does not have anything to do with celtic, phoenix has been with me for 5years now, called so by my friends. you can figure out why! the 07 comes from my birthdate january 7th.. plus that i love 7 in general, seems everything is 7, zoroastrians somehow sacre this number.
other than being called "phin, phinny-winny" i like to be called "el" , keep eila for my grandpa to call me, & elham for my dad!!

Were you named after the famous German Song about a Soldier seperated from his love?
Lili Marlene
by Hans Leip 1915
1. Vor der Kaserne Vor dem großen Tor Stand eine Laterne Und steht sie noch davor So woll'n wir uns da wieder seh'n Bei der Laterne wollen wir steh'n |: Wie einst Lili Marleen. :|
2. Unsere beide Schatten Sah'n wie einer aus Daß wir so lieb uns hatten Das sah man gleich daraus Und alle Leute soll'n es seh'n Wenn wir bei der Laterne steh'n |: Wie einst Lili Marleen. :|
3. Schon rief der Posten, Sie blasen Zapfenstreich Das kann drei Tage kosten Kam'rad, ich komm sogleich Da sagten wir auf Wiedersehen Wie gerne wollt ich mit dir geh'n |: Mit dir Lili Marleen. :|
4. Deine Schritte kennt sie, Deinen zieren Gang Alle Abend brennt sie, Doch mich vergaß sie lang Und sollte mir ein Leids gescheh'n Wer wird bei der Laterne stehen |: Mit dir Lili Marleen? :|
5. Aus dem stillen Raume, Aus der Erde Grund Hebt mich wie im Traume Dein verliebter Mund Wenn sich die späten Nebel drehn Werd' ich bei der Laterne steh'n |: Wie einst Lili Marleen. :|
english lyrics
Underneath the lantern, By the barrack gate Darling I remember The way you used to wait T'was there that you whispered tenderly, That you loved me, You'd always be, My Lili of the Lamplight, My own Lili Marlene
Time would come for roll call, Time for us to part, Darling I'd caress you And press you to my heart, And there 'neath that far-off lantern light, I'd hold you tight , We'd kiss good night, My Lilli of the Lamplight, My own Lili Marlene
Orders came for sailing, Somewhere over there All confined to barracks was more than I could bear I knew you were waiting in the street I heard your feet, But could not meet, My Lili of the Lamplight, my own Lili Marlene
Resting in our billets, Just behind the lines Even tho' we're parted, Your lips are close to mine You wait where that lantern softly gleams, Your sweet face seems To haunt my dreams My Lili of the Lamplight, My own Lili Marlene

Thanks very very much, MacEoghainn, I went to it and tried to play it, but it wouldn't play in Windows Media, so i'll try to play it later in something else!!
Ifan! There you are, my friend! I was wondering what Ifan would mean. Thanks for explaining it! Welcome to the site, btw and hope you enjoy it here. Where is your avatar? There are some really great ones in the avatar gallery here, unless you come up with your own. Chat with you later!
In Jr. High I grew very enamored of the British Isles, esp. the Celts, and fantasy stories. I took Morgana Lafayette as my pen name, modernizing Morgan La Fae (who i think got a bad wrap). Most registries won't allow me to have the full length, so I just use the initials.
I'm of Irish (& Scottish ) descent, hence Irish.. My name is Rebecca, but I wen't by Becca years ago, and I'm the BIG three-oh! , but don't tell anyone!
As simple and probably over-used as my name combinations are they fit me well. I have a penchant for wandering aimlessly whenever such a situation presents itself(not as often as I would like these days). As I always carry one of my tin whistles with me I often end up under a tree, on a beach, or some various other place playing/practicing whatever tunes seem to strike me at the moment.
Though I really have been given many nicknames by many people for many(go figure) reasons, I find this the most appropriate and liked name for myself on any and all celtic/irish/music sites I frequent( does a visit once a month count as frequent now??? )
I may have to change the last two numbers in my name. The player who wore #30 for the White Sox, Magglio Ordoñez, signed with the Detroit Tigers. Not only did he sign with a division rival, he had more than a few parting shots for my beloved South Siders !

May the Irish hills caress you. May her lakes and rivers bless you. May the luck of the Irish enfold you. May the blessings of Saint Patrick behold you.
