I know I posted this in some other thread, somewhere...but anyway, as a child (and still, as an adult) Greek mythology fascinated me. One of the first books my parents ever gave me, in the years before the Internet, when true reference books were crazy expensive, was a copy of Bulfinch's Mythology. Still have it.
Anyway, Hera always fascinated me, as a woman and as a goddess. I chose this particular name because Hera Teleia was the form of the goddess (one of many of her forms) worshipped as the goddess of fertility. Seemed appropriate for the site.

It may mean that in some Dutch dialect, but it's definitely not a regular Dutch word. I'd say Coojie sounds more Afrikaans than Dutch, but then again I know little about Afrikaans.
There are a lot of words in Dutch that end with the (t)je-form suffix. And I mean many, many, many, many, many, many words that are part of the main dialect of the Dutch language.
Keetje, Kootje which is the cootje form, This is going to be very long , but informative.
Notice the (je) form in just about every name. So I don't know what you're talking about.

Friends of mine are expecting a baby this month. I'm not sure if they already decided on a name, so I will pass them the list of names ;)
Anyway, you're right about the -(t/p)je suffix. It's similar to the -chen suffix in German, essentially meaning 'little'. There's also -ke and -(p)ie, the latter is used primarily for names (mostly nicknames), while -ke is used for nouns as well in the southern parts of the Netherlands and in Flanders (BE).
You mention 'Cootje' now, which is indeed a Dutch name. Originally you wrote 'Coojie' though, which is not. As you can see in your list of names -jie is not a suffix we use here. Of course -ie is, but 'Cooj' is not a Dutch name. I can tell, not because I know all Dutch names, but because it ends with a j, which is an extremely unlikely character for a Dutch word to end with, unless it's part of the digraph ij (pronounced as the German ei, similar to English i).

When I joined Lush, I didn't want people to know my real Christian name. I named myself after Tracey Wickham, a famous Australian swimmer and gold medalist at the Olympics. Tracey was born the same year as myself and I followed her life closely when she first reached stardom in swimming. When studying in Melbourne University in Journalism, I actually met Tracey Wickham at the Olympic Swimming Pool in Punt Rd, Melbourne, near where I lived. So the name Tracey has always been near and dear to my heart.
I am a huge fan of the late folk singer Harry Chapin. To me as long as people are listening to Harry's music, he still lives, thus Harrylives. Sex is referenced in a lot of his songs, so felt it was appropriate.
In college, a group of friends gave me the nickname of 'Hopper' because I would always show up to parties for only about an hour before heading off to another. It was pretty typical for me to 'hop' from one place to another over the course of the night, always eager to proceed on to the next adventure.
Anyone familiar with 1337 or h4X0r speak should be able to understand why the E is switched out for a 3. I've thankfully outgrown that juvenile style of typing but it can be fun to slip back into it every once in a while, in the right setting of course.
I can’t think of a good tagline so this will have to do. Suggest a better one for me?
Well it was one of these choices: seductress, siren, femme fatale... All meaning: a sexually attractive woman who sets out to allure or seduce someone.
One of my favorite beers has always been the Mexican beer, 'Dos Equis'. In English that generally means two X's - in fact the label on a 'Dos Equis' bottle usually has two X's on it.
When I first started writing adult stories, (~2003), my stories were considerably more explicit than they are today. If they had been made into movies they likely would have been considered triple X, (three X), or in Spanish, 'Tres Equis'.
Not being Hispanic, or even a Spanish speaker for that matter, I adopted as my pen name, 'Trace Ekies', which in English has a pronunciation similar to that of the Spanish 'Tres Equis'. Although my stories today could probably be made into R rated movies, I still use some minor variation of 'Trace Ekies' as my name for all 'adult' type activity.
With the recent popularity of the 'Dos Equis' man, I began using un-copyrighted lookalike images of his and usually close my communications with 'Stay horny my friend(s)'.
I know it is boring Robert1959 ... But it is the name I go by in real life and my birth year. But I am the same person online as in the world, in emails, chat, Pvt, or in my poetry .. I am what you read, and do not pretend to be anything else than me.
A fictional Chinese character who is a notorious villain and consort, but who has also been taken on in Chinese mythology as a saint representing the prostitutes and fornicators.
I couldn't use any of my normal range of usernames because that would lead people back to my day job, which involves running part of the family friendly internet.
i practically created this name a few years ago (to the best of my knowledge) and have been using it ever since. if you see Eomas, that's probably me. named for éomer from Lord of the Rings
