Explain your LiveJournal name and its meaning. When you're done, tag as many people as there are letters in your name.

I spent far too much time figuring out what name to use for this LJ.

My first two role-playing characters had "Del" inside their names - Adelyn & Delwyn (also the y, but we'll get to that in a moment). As I didn't particularly like the real-life nickname my aunt had saddled me with shortly after my arrival in the states,

fuyu_no_fuhei started calling me "Del" (also, her character called Adelyn that, so it wasn't a particularly difficult transition).

When I decided to create this LJ, I wanted to incorporate that, plus something of Slavic origin. And if I could somehow incorporate the meaning of my rl first name, that'd be cool, too. Sadly, "Adelina" and it's variants were taken. So I went back to "Adelyn" (which was also taken) because the Y is the first letter of my first name. After much wrangling with language and polling of friends, I settled on "Adelynne," which still has the meaning and the Y, even if it lacks anything resembling Slavic roots. So instead I use "Delinka" (a Russian diminutive of "Del") as my e-mail address.

I now tag:
