Rules:
Post the explanation of where your username came from. Then tag TEN users whose explanations you'd like to hear. If you are tagged, post the explanation to your page.
When I first created an online identity, I knew I wanted a lady-like name. Originally, I intended to gack a name from literature (lilith_de_tempscire was my first choice), but anything I could come up with was unavailable. I don't remember exactly how or when I came up withdonnaimmaculata (it was supposed to be spelled "donna_immaculata", but that was one character too many for LJ), but I'm quite pleased with it: It's a (stupid) pun on my RL name, it's definitely very feminine and it's got a religious connotation. And I'm very fond of religious connotations. In fact, my first default icon was Marc Almond as Madonna des Coeurs by Pierre et Gilles. But then I settled for Medusa (likewise by Pierre et Gilles).
I'm tagging:camillabloom (because I like LJ names which are real names, but not RL names), swatkat24 (because it makes me think of cats, and I like cats), coeursaignant (because you've changed the name not too long ago and I didn't realise who you were), lolaraincoat (because your name makes me think of a Hollywood star from the 40s and I've always had a crush on it, even before we friended each other), ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-syndicated.gif)
slippyslope (because I've got the idea that there's a Meaning behind it), hill_ (because it sounds straightforward,... but is it?), ptyx (because I'm pretty sure that I read your explanation of it at some point, but can't remember what it was), thistle_chaser (because... how do you chase thistles?), hippediva (because I keep reading it in German, i.e. meaning "hip diva"), and chazpure (because I've no idea what it's supposed to mean and suspect it's something very obvious).
