the origin of knickers or minkyrra?

*laughs*... hey its late, brain is heading for dreamland.

i dont want to look up the origin of knickers and post it up to find out you meant my name

[charmsusa]

your name minkyrra Thanks

[minkyrra]

*laughs*

ok, its a bit of a long and boring story but here goes.....



first off, the way i pronounce the name is different from how a lot of people do.

its min kearah, though people here think its minky rah,
like some cheerleader chant

my name is often confused with another members - slinkyri,
i have always thought her name was prounced slin kyri, but i think its slinky ri, the minx.

why minky?

minky... popped into my head one day as an alternative to mini, something a dutch friend kept calling me.

i have no idea why they would wish to call me mini, as i am 5ft 8 (taller than they are) and my screen name at the time was inanna.

i really didnt like mini as it made me think of minnie mouse. big round ears and white shoes two sizes too big are just not me.

so to save me from nightmares, a new name had to be found and so was born minky.

in my naivety i thought i had created the name from nowhere. i later found out that i shared it with a range of teddybears, millions of cats, an anime princess and a range of ironing board covers.

the kyrra part, comes from kyra, which is roughly the female version of my middle name.

yes, i have a male middle name.

yes, i am female



the male middle name is my dads first name.

it would have been my surname if i had been born in the country that my father was born.

instead i have his surname, which is my grandfathers first name.... are you still with me?

*laughs!*


so for instance if i was born in his country and was male, and my name was george bush, and i had a child that i called hairy, the childs name would be hairy george (not hairy bush, which is a relief)

however, why anyone would want to call their child hairy is beyond me.


have i lost you yet?




so that is how minkyrra came about

[minkyrra]

if it was, perhaps ask them how they went about it, they may be able to offer help.
