most of my life, strangers have expressed interest or disbelief when presented with my given name. it's never been a big deal for me as it's not exceptionally common in english-speaking countries in this day and age.

i do wonder, however, at the apparent lack of curiousity expressed by my fellow goths and pagans. i find myself wondering if they are so accustomed to affectation that they'd act just as non-plussed if i gave my name as Lady Ravenbutt.

I don't know what your real name is, but slightly unusual names don't phase me much. I gave my daughter a name which is unheard of in America, and even in England/Scotland is still uncommon in recent years.

I have a penchant for names like that.
