    My older sister called me this when we were young because she couldn't say my name properly. It stuck.

    I'm also know as Cornish Maid elsewhere because I'm cornish and a maid (though a somewhat 'older' maid).

    Yes. In Latin, the pronoun is specified in the verb. So:
    cogito = I think
    cogitas = you think
    cogitat = he/she/it thinks
    etc.

    ergo = therefore

    sum = I am
    eras = you are
    erat = he/she/it is

    I started out with this username on another forum that discusses the TV show Heroes. Because I was very opinionated and had lots of theories about where the plot was going, I knew I'd be saying "I think ..." a lot, ergo the name choice.

    Later I decided to work on my writing skills, and followed the link to this site. I kept the name from the other site rather than create a new one.

    Fortunately, I am nowhere near as opinionated here! ;)

    My name Raven was earnt when I was in the army. But there are millions of users called raven and I do hate having a number by my name. So because I live In an isolated Town in the UK called Hull I decided to put the Hull before the Raven making my name unique and renowned. I am the only user on the internet with the name Hulls raven definitely making me Unique. Its my email address and everywhere I am a member its the name I use.

    Because I earnt the name Raven everyone I know calls me Raven.
