I signed up to write under my initials: HRH.
I love my initials.
I found a man to marry seventeen years ago that kept my initials intact.
I go sign up for other things: twitter, stumble, plurk, etc. and want to be recognized by those who know me.
But my initials are taken. My parent-given initials are a bit popular.
So I start randomly choosing available names.
It has gotten to the place where I don’t know who I am.
Anywhere.
I can’t keep up with myself.
I use my initials here, but speak of myself in third person as Holly.
Please don’t mention how annoying that is.
I would use June Cleaver (even though not deserved) but it is occupied as well.
The madness had to stop.
Insert sage advice here.
Oh, Jennifer my yoda.
Yoda suggested simplifying.
Yoda is right.
The initials have to go…Oh NO!
Holly it is.
Crap! Holly is taken everywhere too.
So from now on it is texasholly.
Simple?
Please recognize me when I visit.
You don’t even have to refer to me as HRH anymore…
PS–If anyone can guess (other than Roger, Jennifer and Ron) what the poker connection is to my texasholly name you will be in my fruit bowl next Monday.
PPS–I will remain HRH on one blog. It is my hope to reach epic size and break 400 by year end.
FIRST!
err…500th:(
So, I think it’s all been said. I love the hrh, but understand the need to merge identities.
Plus, texasholly is a super cute name, probably from a time when you were in Texas, and you and your friend hustled some drunk mobsters during a heated game of texas hold ’em, taking them for thousands, and then having to spend the rest of the weekend wearing wigs and speaking in heavy russian accents so they couldn’t find you.
I will love you and recognize you no matter what name you’re using. Imagine how confusing it is for Witness Protection Program people.
And when you hit 400 we’ll have a joint party. Sound like a plan?!
I thought the name was different. I’m apparently a little slow.
When I started my blog, I thought the domain name was available, too. Apparently it wasn’t, so I can never be just me.com without the blog server. Somewhat annoying, but I guess I’ll live.
I kept my initials, too. I love them. I was going to tell you what they say, but I forgot I changed my name for online, so it wouldn’t make any sense at all here. (I think it’s too late and I need to go to bed.)
Now I’m confused by also being a Holly from Texas, Holly.
Try being a Jennifer in her mid-30s. Every other freaking woman in the US of A is a Jennifer in her mid-30s. I didn’t even bother to use my name in my blog. But now I have a blog with an addy that isn’t the blog’s title. Yes, I have to work on that. Trust me, it’s in the queue. Several places down from “how in HELL do I get melted crayon out of a full load of otherwise clean laundry???” 😉
Just guessing Texas hold ’em.
I guess that is one of the things I like about my name….not too many girl tommies
nice to meet you texas holly. my initials didn’t change when I tied the knot, because I am one of those wild and crazy women that didn’t change my name. Oops.
Huh. I’m with a lot of the other commenters – I thought HRH was Her Royal Highness. But, that might have been because of Manic Mommy’s son. I like TexasHolly. Has a nice ring.
Just like domestic chicky, I wondered if it stood for Her Royal Highness. Seriously.
Ha! I knew you were Holly, but I always thought HRH meant Her Royal Highness – LOL
