Ah, the ruggedly handsome Euphro today then! Moblog is one of the ways I define myself too; I realise that from what you have written here.
MandyP says:
Good to see you, Mr. E - this could almost be one of your 'about to get a haircut' shots!
jc1000000 says:
I'm glad you call it home! I've always wondered actually, does 'Euphro' mean anything? What inspired your username?
swamprose says:
I depend on Euphro for botany identifications, shots of Anarctica, common household trials, joy in a great new camera buy, and his honestly postive comments. No one made me feel more welcome at first. thanks euphro!
Euphro says:
MandyP , yes, you are absolutely right :D I wanted to get it done today in time for my Granada trip next week, but things just got too busy :)
JC1000000 it does mean something, both semantically and personally. In terms of meaning, it's short for Euphrosyne, one of the Graces in Greek mythology (responsible for mirth). It's also a kind of butterfly, a dolphin and a saint.
The personal aspect comes from a dream I had nearly 20 years ago. I can't remember the details, but I woke up with the word Euphrosyne vividly in my head. I'd never come across it before and didn't know what it meant; however, I had this enormous sense of conviction that it was in some way important to me. I looked it up, of course, and then just held on to it, until I needed a domain name for my Demon account.
Once I became active on-line, I needed an alias (in True Names fashion: look-up Vernor Vinge) and shortened Euphrosyne to Euphro. I've used it ever since and I would say that it has turned out to be very significant for me; I relate to it just as strongly as my birth name :) The science fiction fan in me likes to think of some future me, in Gregory Benford "Timescape" fashion, somehow sending a message to the past along the lines of "this is important" :D
swamprose, you are very welcome and nothing gives me more pleasure than to be able to help, where I can; I'm delighted to think that I made you feel welcome when you first joined moblog :)

I love that story - Am a big believer in the transformational power of names.
