Jelena FYI

Jelena · 06-18-2006, 01:27 PM

FYI I'm now Jelena.

Why? I didn't feel comfortable with having my name shining in the forum. And the possibility to change it was revield to me by Sage.
Since I think names are important, I didn't want to get a whole different one. So, as you can see it's still lenaj but in a different fashion.
I'm happy to still be called Lena (or Lensie by Trep

)

Intrepid Homoludens · 06-18-2006, 01:34 PM

My loneliness
Is killin' me
I must confess
I still belieeeeve
When I'm not with you I lose my mind
Give me a sign
Hit me baby one more time!!!!!

Oh, sorry, I, erm.......

Yeah, nice name, Jelensie.

Jatsie · 06-18-2006, 01:38 PM

All this name changing is going to confuse me.

Jelena is a nice name though, I had a friend from Latvia called Yelena.

I have Russian ancestors on my mother's side. Way back. I think it was my grandmother's grandfather who was Russian.

Intrepid Homoludens · 06-18-2006, 01:47 PM

I can still call you Lensie, tho. Same thing, really. Now, if your real name had been Bubba I'd have to call you Bubbsie.

Oh, and how do you pronounce your name anywhooo?

I can whisper it in your ear when we meet....under the table.

seebaruk · 06-18-2006, 01:54 PM

Another name change? Right, that's it, I'm gonna be called 'YoMutha' from now on.

samIamsad · 06-18-2006, 02:01 PM

If onlythings where that easy in "real" life.

I didn't notice at first. I sometimes just go by avatars.

Now this confuses me...were you already here when Tempsie (TemporaryScars) changed his nickname to "SakSquash"?

Karmillo · 06-19-2006, 12:45 AM

I never noticed either untill I saw this thread...although I just got here from being away since saturday so thats probably why

But this name changing is making me want to jump on the name train while its still cool and before everyone is doing it

MoriartyL · 06-19-2006, 01:03 AM

To repeat Intrepid, how is "Jelena" to be pronounced?

Yes I was when you're mentioning it. Didn't remember that though when I saw Scott turn into Sage.

I really don't know how to show you. The Lena part isn't supposed to be pronounced like Americans or Englishmen normally do.
I must check the internet for some phonetics since I haven't got a microphone on my computer.

EDIT: I looked for a way to write phonetics on the internet. But couldn't find anything.
EDIT: I found a way on this site:http://www.phon.ucl.ac.uk/home/sampa/english.htm

According to it it's
dZelena where dZ is pronounced like the g in gin and both e is pronounced like the e in pet.

Yeah, nice name, Jelensie.

if you can do the dance steps it would be an idea to post that in the youtube section for our enjoyment!

UPtimist · 06-19-2006, 03:39 AM

So, you're now a Russian assassin in leather?

Sorry, that's what it reminds me of

Anyways, good to know.

If you would've changed your avatar too, I would've been very confused.

And maybe I'll do that too! Except I'll change all possible information about myself...

And ooh, what a clever name!

Sage · 06-19-2006, 04:11 AM

Cool new name, Lena!
Let me see if I can pronounce it correctly...
yeh-LAY-nah

Is that even close?

Thanks! It emerged into my head one night and it felt right. I had some other options as well provided by Stepurhan, he truly is a wizard with words! But since this one already had stuck in my mind I went for it.

Hey, that's a way to write pronunciation! Why didn't I think of that?
Jelena is more like: yeh-leh-nah

(Lena is pronounced leh-na in Swedish.)

That sound as lot cooler than being a 41 year old teenage mom. So yeah! Why not!
