My own is the name of a character from the book Neverness by David Zindell (Danlo Ringess). He's a fascinating individual that melds the metaphysical with the spiritual. Reading Neverness for the first time as a 17yo just blew my mind away and opened me up to the possibilities and joys of philosophy.
How about you?
D. | kellid. My name is kelli and middle initial is D. no cool metaphysical stuff here.  |

| No deep thought involved with mine. It's the name of an Italian town I lived in for many years, Poincicco. Maybe I should change it to something more profound...? |

there's only one of me Canada ....  | The language has less than 50,000 speakers. I recall you being Russian(?), so you wouldn't happen to be one of those speakers would you?

| what ethnic group does a person claim if they are a redneck? Just curios .... I don't consider myself one I just wondered if rednecks were strictly an American thing or if other country has them .... so what would you call a Latvian or Canadian redneck ....
"bogans" is what Wulfric says is Australian slang for "trailer trash" .... just a weird question that popped into my head at 2am here .... maybe I'm getting loopy and need some sleep ..
