I chose Karikta cuz its basically what I am in the simplest form. I was in church one day and the preacher talked about how our lives were like a movie to God. He said that many of us would be nominated for an academy award but only a few would win. So I look at myself as a Karikta (or character) in a movie for God.
I like the story about your nickname Karikta! I would have loved to hear that sermon :)

When I found this forum I couldn`t think of a nickname which would refer to my relationship with God but I remembered my very first nick...

I love dolphins (not that I have ever seen one in real life *g* but anyway...) and when first got internet at home I thought about a nick quite long. Then I saw a report about a ship called "flying dolphin" in the news and there it was - my perfect nickname :)

i was gettting sick of using my old mane form like eighth grade for everything. and i wanted something christian since i have been growing so far away from the things of the world and so close to God. i am also tired of people saying that they are christians but then not living anything like it, so i thought i would try to convey that message in my name.

Not luna bonita?
Well yeah, if you wanted to use that word you can. There are several words that mean the same thing in Spanish just like in English. Bonita, linda, quapa all can mean the same thing. I prefer using bonita to say pretty, guapa to say cute, and linda to mean beautiful, but they're all still interchangeable anyway. My grandma uses guapa and linda, but mostly linda. :cool:

I like Alyssa Milano very much, she's so pretty. Her role in Charmed is Phoebe Haliwell (am I right?) Anyways, that's it, and I was just 20 years old when I first used this username.:) That's why I'm Phoebe_20

I was the praise and worship leader at my church....after service on Sunday, people would walk up to me and say that the praise and worship was "off the chain".....or that was a "Crazy Praise"...I changed the spelling a little, and that's how I came up with Crazeepraze

Thats cool that you like Charmed. I like that show too. It's one of my top shows that i like to watch. Piper and Leo are my fav. characters, but i like all of them. And yes you are right about Alyssa Milano as Phoebe. My family and i named one of our cats phoebe. so charmed names run in the family.

My username GoDzGrL4EvEr20 came from the user online column. I saw that name and I thought that it suited my pesonality well. I tried to not copy it exactly so I changed the last number. Sorry if I hurt your feelings if your name is the same. But i like it and admired it. But the number 20 I got is because I will be turning 20 May 2nd. So that is where that number came from. Plus i didnt know what name to use so i browsed over to the column.

Eruliel is my own invention. In English it's translated as "The Ones' Maiden". The one being God...so "Gods Maiden".
I don't know if because it's elven it really needs to be Illuvatarwen or if it needs to be something like Lieleru...I just went the easy way out. I don't need to worry about Elven Grammar.

What is up with the name Xiao Gong Zhu? Why do I choose such a name as such?

Simple, because God the Father is a King, and through Jesus I am His child, and if God the Father is a King and I am His child, then what does that makes me? A princess!

Precisely, and that is why I choose the name Xiao Gong Zhu, because I am the princess of the King of the entire universe, and xiao gong zhu means little princess in chinese. Why do I choose to call myself little princess, instead of just princess?

Because before my Kingly Father, no matter how old my age in this world can be. It can be 5, it can be 12, it can be 25, it can be 40, it can be 100 years old, but it still will not change the fact that I am His little girl. And I know God best as His little girl. He is my papa, who is always there for me no matter what happens.

And yes, I love Him and I am proud of being His little girl. Each time I dare to and can tell it to people, I will announce it, loudly. Because being the daughter of a King is one of the most adventurous things to happen in this whole wide universe.

My brothers and sisters in Christ, you are princes and princesses, too, you know. Not in your dream. But in reality, if God is your Father and you come to know Him through your faith in the saving redemption of Jesus Christ, His Son and our older brother, and for some of us, He is also our mentor, lover, shephed, friend, King and many, many things.

Oh yes, you can only be princesses and princes through the saving redemption of Jesus Christ, there can be no other way. One more thing, I will like to introduce, fellow princes and princesses to an important friend that We Must Have If We Hope to Fight Against the evil archduke of this place and who acts like he is God even though He is not, and that person is none other than the Holy Spirit Of God.

Without Him, you cannot hope to win a battle against the evil archduke who tried to reign here and who is most famous for hating our Father, our God, and all of us here in this place where he still managed to deceive the mind of many fellow people.

We are here, dear princes and princesses of my Kingly Father, also my brothers and sisters, to set the people trapped by the archduke free. Beware of a tactic of archduke, and that is this, he is an expert in making us think we are the most pathetic bunch of people in this world when we are really princes and princess, he will often tried to incite us to think lowly of ourselves or to rebel against our Father. Don't believe his lies, ya?

The little princess from Singapore,
Xiao Gong Zhu

I like your username, Xiao Gong Zhu.

I invented mine by pounding on the keyboard. I had to write a story with a bunch of weird names and my creative juices just weren't flowing. By a stroke of amazing luck I got "alemci" and changed a letter to get a cool name. :)

Yeah I know, so deep and meaningful.

I chose mine actually because the name of a book by Bruce Wilkerson stuck with me. A year of so after I read it, just barely:sorry: , I found that the term aptly described what I wanted God to do in my life and what I wanted my life to be. So it describes my walk with God now and the fire that He has placed in so many youth to glorify Him and declare Him Lord. He's placed it on my heart to work with my peers.

Thank you, Alenci, for your comment. I guess it is the Holy Spirit of God who allows me to come up with such a nice inspiration for my name.

I was considering between Xiaogongzhu and ni wa wa.
Ni wa wa is a chinese word for little clay doll. It is a song that goes like this. (Translated)

Little Clay Doll, Little Clay doll, one little Clay doll,
She has no father, and has no mother, always refuses to talk.

Little Clay Doll, Little Clay doll, one little clay doll,
I will be her father, and I will be her mother, always protect her.

She is a good clay doll, and not a bad clay doll, she does not have good and loving father, and mother.

Little clay doll, little clay doll, one little clay doll,
I will be her father, and will be her mother, forever stay with her.

This song, which I sing as a child reflects so much of who I was in the past. I felt so lonely as a child, with my parents busy working, and even sometimes quarreling, and I was often keeping everything to myself.

But God comes into my life and adopts me as His child, and promises to always watch over me and stay by my side. I like this song so much, because this shows how sovereign God is. This is a secular song, and yet He can sing it to me one fine day this song, and reminds me so much through it.

Firstly, little clay doll, is who I am. I am made by Him. I am made from the mud. So, little clay doll means a girl who is made from the mud.

Secondly, I don't talk is who I am, I don't speak at all, from young, I just don't talk easily. Words just don't come out of my lips, and that makes me lonely not just at home where parents are busy working and sometimes quarreling, but also in school, because I can't keep friends.

The bad clay doll is who I perceive myself to be. I perceive myself to be hopeless, useless, to be the most lousy and at one point, the most evil person in the world, but God doesn't think so. He tells me I am lovely and beautiful and has His image inside me, so I can't be really that bad.

So I am not a bad clay doll but a good clay doll.

So, little clay doll is really a name that suits me because it speaks of God's love for me, God's acceptance of me in His life, and God's adoption of me and giving me a place I can go to when things get too painful for me to handle. :)

But after some consideration, I decide to choose xiao gong zhu over little clay doll, because little clay doll is an old identity.

At that time, I think I am just a pawn, a tool for God, just a claydoll, just some thing made by Him, like the way we make a model. And in my heart of hearts, I don't want to be the claydoll of someone else, because I feel like a victim of the maker, like a puppet of the one who makes me.

But through the years, God is so good to me, He encourages me and walks with me, until I realise I am not a clay doll after-all. Outwardly, I am made of the soil, like a clay, like something that is so not significant to God. But inwardly, I am made in His image. I am really not a claydoll but His precious daughter that He loves dearly, that has His image in me.

Outwardly, we have so little, mere empty shell, made of the soil, perishable, not of much value, almost like we are not significant to God at all. But inwardly, we are His treasures. We are made in His image. We are like earthen vessels that contain treasures within. And that is why I decide to call myself Xiaogongzhu, because it is reflective of our nature in Christ. It is reflective of who we are in Him, and most importantly, it reflects deeply WHO WE ARE to Him. We are like worthless, but really we are more precious than His life and His glories in heaven, which is why He gives both of them to come down to our world to die for us, just so that we can come back to Him, to return home to Him.

Alenci, you are a xiaogongzhu, too. All of us are, in Christ. I like your name Alenci. It sounds like the kind that is good to put as a character name for a book. Very unusual and unique. Do you like to write? Do you write story?

I like to write a lot.

Yours,
Xiao Gong Zhu

P/S: I choose this name is also because I want to be able to come out of my shy and reserve and a bit too serious manner at times to be fully light-hearted. And yes, to be mysterious and annoymous, and to dare to be who I dare not be in real life. A happy, singing, dancing individual who is really what I am deep down inside me. I am a very cheerful person.
