... semkana?
Emkana is a combination of parts of my name, and my daughters' names. So really it would only be fair to put ds in there somewhere. Or doesn't it matter anyhow and I'm being stupid? Or should I change to something original - but what?

Opinions please!

I like Semkana, and least you would still be recognisable.

Unlike the bus load of trolls we have in here tonight and have had all day.

EvesMama · 13/07/2006 19:44

I KNOW!!.what and odd day!!

Yeah Semkana looks good

SenoraPostrophe · 13/07/2006 19:46

not sure about semkana - sounds a bit pharmaceutical.

another variation though:

skemana?
smaneka?

Tutter · 13/07/2006 19:47

CountessDracula · 13/07/2006 19:55

sorry emkana -

I did nearly post "actually you might want to look that up before you change your name" but I thought it might be patronising.

it does mean knob cheese, but it sounds really good, don't you think?

Carmenere · 13/07/2006 20:18

Well I like Semkana - in fact immediately I saw it it reminded me of Sebastian so I think it works!!

emkana · 13/07/2006 20:26

So it's three for and three against so far.
Any others?

SaintGeorge · 13/07/2006 20:30

Doesn't sound too bad.

Squarer · 13/07/2006 20:30
