I want a new a new mer name.

**Slim** · 07-03-2017, 10:41 PM

I could use people help with this one. I want a new name so I can retired Slim. Though I may keep the name for in person and local visits, it's no longer the name I want to use online. The name has been tainted due to drama which is why I want move away from it. I still talk with a mix of the 11th doctor & Clara tone. I have two black tails. I also have a green scale one which I'm sure everyone is aware that I try to avoid talking about. I love helping people as much as I can. So much so that even people I can't stand, I will help them in the end. My heart is my weakness but it's my strength. We got a got a creative group of people on the mernetwork so hopefully something awesome will be thought off. I may be a merman but I will use merman ***** if need be. I do like to drop the merman if possible as I think gender neutral names are the best.

Thank you for the help everyone,
Jason

I'm not sure what drama, I tend to avoid that. But please don't let anyone sour you, or make you uncomfortable with anything that is part of you. You are beautiful. Just keep rocking you. I don't know you well enough to name you. But you seem like someone worth knowing.

What about barracuda? It's part of one of your tails name and they're blackish and silver! It sounds kinda tough and mean, but they're long and skinny if you wanna keep that aspect! Plus no one would mess with someone with barracuda in their name. They also school! So just like you, they like to be with other barracudas (mers). Or you could go with something short and sweet like blu or kai or something. Kai has a lot of meanings in different languages, like harbor and strength!

Thank you. I'm not even going to explain the drama.

Arian - from riparian or male version of aria
Badderlock - species of kelp
Saccharine - from Saccharina japonica species of kelp
Dolse - kelp
Radian - from Ecklonia radiata (you guessed it kelp)
Arame - seaweed
Siphon - Scytosiphon lomentaria
Noct or Luca - from Noctiluca scintillans (glowing algae)
Triss - from Trissopathes (black coral)
Cirr - from Cirrhipathes (black coral)
Leio - from Leiopathes (black coral)

I've no clue if any of these are taken but its fun to look them up and adapt.

But, soon-to-be-mer-formally-known-as-Slim, do know that there is a Merman Jax. Whether that name being close to the other matters or not is up to you. Merman Jax is a performer, so he's already got a presence online. He's very good at what he does. He's my favorite performing merman.

I was thinking it sounded great until I saw his profile. Leave it to this 6'3" guy to admit that I feel soo small looking at his picture. If merman Jax didn't already have the name, i would had probably choice is as soon as Jaxon Tide was mention. Seem I'm back to siding with Kai at the moment. Part of me still don't want to put the name Slim in the past but I know it's important if I retired that name for a couple months at least. Please keep on suggesting. I should have my final decision by the end of the 18th or earlier. I understand on the 10th doctor (Doctor Who) felt when he said "I didn't want to go!" before he regenerated. I will be the same person with the same mind but I have a different way of doing things (like a regeneration) and true to myself. When I do bring back the name Slim, I want to be bigger than the person who made me feel it was time to retired the name temporary.

Kazran or Hath? I was searching for Dr. Who fishy characters or references. You really shouldn't let other people get you so down. You seem like a nice guy to me.

I'm letting it get me more determined that I will be more successful. The only part of it that getting me down is the fact my trusted was used. I will not go into detail as that what the drama thread is for. I try to be the nicest guy I can be though I will say something if I see someone getting used.

There are other words for 'slim', have you thought about any? Such as a Latin word that means similar, or perhaps in a language from your ancestry, whatever that might be?

**Slim** · 07-09-2017, 03:14 AM

I thought about it and feel using a substitute word for it wouldn't work. Being thin is my body shape and it's one of the first thing people notice. Choosing a name not related to it will force some people to get to know me to figure out who I am and see the real me. Maybe that why Kai has always been my 2nd choice.
