Whaaaaat?
I think you need to go to the writers board. I don't mean that in a bad way but it seems like most of your responses have to do with writing which is not something I'm concerned about here. I'm no looking for character or surnames. This is for real life and I have a last name. You also seem to be seriously confused about gender when it comes to names because Sylvie is all girl.

I'm insane, okay?I'm not here solely for character writing, this is also a good place to see if there's a better girl name(In case I ever want a child) that I like more than Ilina.And I like the names Ilina and Erika a lot.And Sylvie has always come across to me as a boy's name.
Like Misha, even though I was confused on it's gender until I learned about it.Heck, before I learned about the name Misha, I thought it was a boy's name, but was pretty sure it had to be a girl's name because of it's spelling/sounding.No offense, though.But I seriously think Sylvia has more of a feminine charm than Sylvie. Maybe it's because I have a friend named Sylviania? Or maybe it's because I get so knee-deep in trying to name characters for my novels that everything slams into itself and confuses me.Oh well.
I'm insane, okay?

I'm not trying to say that you're not welcome on all the boards because of coarse you are! :) I just meant that treating my real life combos as if they were character names doesn't help me much and just wanted to clarify that these combos would be for first and middle name... not first and last name.Sylvia is alright but I don't care for it NEARLY as much as Sylvie - I like Sylvie's French spunk!
We're all a little crazy in some way, right? ;)

AuthenticationI use on name.
My username is Illunaxettia, but my forum name is now my actual name.I looked into the profile editation and decided to use my actual name for a name.

Ok, but regardless of your authentication login, you have to use the same posting name every time you post.If you want to change posting names the custom here is to announce that you are changing your posting name. Doing this too often is strongly discouraged as it can become confusing.

EndedI've decided a while ago that I'll just stick to using my actual name as my forum name, as it makes it simpler, due to the fact that I don't believe there are that many Lopus H. Etteries in the forums.

Fair enough. Do be aware though that using your full real name on internet forums can leave you very exposed in terms of stalkers, future employers and all sorts whom you might not want linking your online persona to your real persona. This is especially relevant if you don't have strong security settings on facebook, for example...

Mindless mattersI'll deal with that when the time comes.
Considering the fact I rarely post anything inappropriate on sites such as facebook in which finding my name around them is plausable, I believe that if I play my cards correctly, I'll be safe from most things.I'm safer considering the fact I claim my location to be Hylia.

That isn't the way to go about it, and besides saying you're from a fictional place isn't "safer." I can look up your IP address and know where you are and that you posted from your public school. You should never share your full name on the internet.

AgreedYou've given us your full name, and your IP address has given us the name and address of your school. That's pretty significant.If I wasn't on a different continent I'd be half-tempted to phone your school and tell them that their kids need a lesson in internet safety!

Lopus H. Etterie is a real name??

HaI doubt it, especially the way she's going about touting it, but still good advice. :)

Well the name does come up on facebook but of course that says nothing in the way of its legitimacy
