Thanks for this Rob! Might change my forum name to St Ricardo! Have you ever read or seen the Brian Friel play translations? It's an absolute favourite of mine and virtually everything that happens comes down to the importance (slightly distinct from significance) of names. It's very cleverly written in my opinion and definitely worth a read.

Hi Rob, You are correct that my name is 'chosen' but not by me! it was chosen for me by my parents when I was born, and is indeed on my birth certificate. I am quite grounded in my own being and feel quite comfortable in the skin I was born in.. I have no reason to take on another 'magical name' when I believe the very name parents give a child to be the truly magical one! I use Sacred Spiral Doula as my login as this is what I use for other forums etc which is my 'professional' persona.
It is interesting how people leap to asumptions about names...
