Well, Mary, mine is self explanatory ;-) ROTFL

Mary they don't have to mean anything, just a name they pick out, mine is because I used to do a lot of karaoke.
smilin , there are two members that have almost the same name so one of them is attempting to change hers we are just trying to help her *LOL*

Well, patience.

It means patience or you will tell us later? LOL

Hia hia makshi hia

Thanks for the clarification, RikerBear! When I read "Indian", I was thinking of India.

KAMAKSHI is the name of a Hindu Goddess.

Dinu,

Thanks for that info also.

UR welcome, makshi.

spklatt, yes, this confusion of "India" and "Indiana" was there earlier, but now my country is spelt out in full, whereas all the American States are shown in two letters.

Dinu, I think the confusion was due to the fact that some people in North America use the old term "Indian" for aboriginal North Americans. This term originated when explorers from Europe first reached the eastern coast of North America, and thought they had reached India (not knowing how large the earth was) - and they started calling the inhabitants "Indians". For centuries afterwards, North Americans of European descent kept using that name for their aboriginal fellow citizens, but this is steadily changing. Here's the thread in DG where it started:

Oh, am I ever slow on the uptake here...I didn't realize makshi was you! I thought it was a new DG member. Could you put something in your DG Member Page about your name change? LOL!

Sure I will.
