Mine's Chandi (close to or a derivation of the world "silver" in Hindi). Perhaps an African name?

But wait: Mine's a girl. Is yours a girl?

Yep, it's a girl. I'm looking to name her. An African name...hmmm...perhaps. I'll start checking, but it sucks that you can only find Swahili names anywhere. But wait, now that I think of it, I can find this list of names that I was keeping should I ever have a daughter. I remember one of them meant beautiful, and man, that's what this PowerBook is...beautiful.

If you can see the bits of red next to it, that's my own clunky iMac...it's been acting jealous lately, crashing about. I guess I should have put "Red" in the pic too.

Mine isn't a girl - she's a full-grown woman, baby! *grin!* Her name is Tarwa, a nod to my Trinidadian heritage. A tarwa is a large skillet that's used for making roti, so you know Ms. Tarwa is gonna do like Cheryl Lynn and "Keep It Hot" ... *LOL!*

Awww, poor "Red" ...

My iMac is named Maliq (after my cuz, but with a "q" instead of a "k"). He's been actin' the fool lately and I would really love to get a 12" powerbook.

May I suggest Xenobia? I see Jada (from The Matrix: Reloaded) on the screen and I'm lazy in that way. LOL

i WISH i had one.

*wishing for a christmas present*

i might be in the market for a computer after i move...i've been wanting to get a MAC, but i'm a little scared. should i commit?

but names....hmmmm....

i'm partial to the name "Medina", i said that if i ever had a daughter i would name her "Medina Shalom" (an arabic & hebew name) and mend the rift between Isacc and Ishmael. wishful thinking, eh?

Ajiah = Quick & Fast, Amaziah = Extraordinary, Ngina = One who serves, Pili = The second child, Wambui = Singer Of Songs, Adong = No Father Was Present

hmm...interesting antonio...thinking...

ronn, Niobe, the queen of Thebes, turned into stone, and crying out a river...still weeping today - might work or not, but i have to first see if there is an ancient egyptian diety who matches her description

right now i'm thinking
Noya = beautiful, ornamented  - Arabic- Girl
Chipo= gift  - African - Girl

and there's always MAAT
Universal ethical principle of ancient Egyptian religion, denoting 'justice', 'order', 'truth'.
Maat was connected to the entire existence of the universe, and was not limited to ethics for human beings alone. Understanding of how the world functioned and how it had been created, as it was presented in the many different orientations inside ancient Egyptian religion, was vital to understanding maat. Maat was the perfect order, toward which man should strive.

FOR GODS
The central protector of maat was the Pharaoh, and maat was a principle that even gods had to obey. Maat is here to be understood as a material element, as we hear that gods 'live on maat'. Maat is something that could be offered to a god, and is a recurring motif in Egyptian temples.
This ethical principle was personified through the goddess, Maat. Maat is presented as a goddess with an ostrich feather on the head. She was defined as the world order as this had been established upon the creation of the world.

FOR HUMANS
By adhering Pharaoh, who was the incarnation of the god Horus, man was in accordance with the nature, and then also maat. What Pharaoh did and said, was theoretically beyond the understanding of normal human beings, and to be understood as revelations. By giving up freedom, man could achieve peace with the universal powers and the gods.
Inhabitants not adhering the principle of maat, broke all laws of the ancient Egyptian society. Enemies in war were considered to be enemies of maat.
