I think Populistmom must die!
For a long time now, I've hated my name here. Mainly because everything I write or post has "mom" attached to it. While I am a mom, an extremely devoted mom at that who loves my children deeply, it's not ALL that I am. For a time, perhaps, it used to be all that I was and since I was 20 years old became the defining descriptive word for myself. However, slowly, I'm kind of finding myself buried in there again and while not "perfect", I'm pretty happy with the person I'm getting reacquainted with.

Anyway, I just want in one way or another to be Sarah. That's my name and I like my name. I don't want to be phrase, politician or a fictional character, I just want to be me in some way. :)

Here's some ideas I'm working with:

SarahBeth (incorporates my middle name)

SarahBelle (what my dad used to call me, but I'm not southern as he was)

SarahBean (childhood nickname thing)

SalientSarah (my best descriptive alliterative adjective)

Sarah (just that if it's available, looks like it was)

Please, feel free to toss in any other suggestions, thoughts, comments, etc. if you got 'um. And if anyone has a strong reason why I should remain populistmom, tell me why.

5. I thought "Populist Mom" was sorta neat
You're not just a Mom!
You're not a "soccer mom"!


You're a Mom who believes in the progressive agenda...sets you apart from others....

In case you don't agree, I sorta like SalientSarah...intellignece is implied upfront.

I can be good at being a drama queen sometimes. Don't worry, I'm usually not too suicidal.

Edited on Thu Mar-11-04 06:40 PM by populistmom
My hubby said "SexySarah" or better yet, "MILFySarah" :eyes: . I said, "nope, I'm not going there, nor do I think you really want me to."

Thanks though. :evilgrin:

With myself as Populistbabe. I want dare to say what other names were involved with that unusual dialog, but if he's lurking, he just spit out his drink and is laughing his head off. :hi:

29. Buona Sarah
From the old Italian love song...

Buona sera signorina buona sera
It is time to say goodnight to Napoli
Though it's hard for us to whisper buona sera
With that old moon above the Mediterranean sea
In the morning signorina we'll go walking
Where the mountains help the moon come in to sight
And by the little jewelry shop we'll stop and linger
In the meantime let me tell you that I love you
Buona sera signorina kiss me goodnight
Buona sera signorina kiss me goodnight
(Buona sera signorina buona sera)
(It is time to say goodnight to Napoli)
Though it's hard for us to whisper buona sera
With that old moon above the Mediterranean sea
In the morning signorina we'll go walking
Where the mountains help the moon come in to sight
And by the little jewelry shop we'll stop and linger
In the meantime let me tell you that I love you
Buona sera signorina kiss me goodnight
Buona sera signorina kiss me goodnight

40. That's beautiful
In fact too beautiful and if my sappy self reads in again, I'll revert into melacholy mode if I'm not careful.

Thank you though. We can always count on wonderful, poetic literature from you to brighten even the most boring of threads. :)

46. PopulistSarah, Sarahndipity, Sarahphim, SarahDoctorInTheHouse?
But I'm being silly (duh).

Actually, SarahBelle is quite beautiful, and it doesn't necessarily conjure up moonlight and magnolias, either.

Good luck on your name-quest, and, for what it's worth, SarahBelle gets my vote.
