I started with where I started before choosing a name. I choose Wander Kips. Why? I am not sure I liked the way it sounded I think. Had I done my research first I would have paid more attention to the fact that you can never change your name!!!!
I feel the pain expressed by an SL Insider article from 2006 -
You open the page and it warns you> Please choose your Selcond Life name carefully, since it can’t be changed later.”
But who reads those things carefully??? And the history of names is strange.
You can pick your first name free floating creative style but the second you must choose from an everchanging list. But who is in my family? I wonder - I am researching this right now but it is hard to know. I have found lists of most famous/important last names in SL but what about mine????
And did you know that enough $$ can buy you whatever name you want according to CNET.
I found this. I may have found a clan member!! Name = Ghostly Kips! Perhaps the ghost of ancient kipistry!
Ghostly's wiki has a one line entry.
Llama.
A trace for sure that will lead to the bottom of something.
Ok so some more time has passed. And I can not find out much more about my offical SL genology. So I look towards eytmology. What does Kips mean anyways?
Wikipedia is so smart on stuff like this.
.... a kip is a unit of force that equals 1,000 pounds-force, ..... uncommon, it is occasionally also considered a unit of mass, equal to 1,000 pounds.......when it is necessary to clearly distinguish it as a unit of force rather than mass, it is sometimes called the kip-force (symbol kipf or klbf). Note that the symbol kp usually stands for a different unit of force, the kilopond or kilogram-force..........The kip is also the name of obsolete units of measure in England and Malaysia.[1]
So I am a measure of force. I think I want to make clear that I am a unit of force instead of mass so I would make sure to tell people my name is kip-force. If anyone ever asked.
It appears the Kips are also a great family with some good stuff under their belts.
Kip is also looking for money if you are looking to give it - click here.
One of my clan moved a castle from Europe to the US - How tight is that??
Frederick Kip was a textile magnate who moved here from Europe in 1902. The story as commonly told is that the castle was built there, then moved to America.
