Who could hang a name on you?

Does anyone know who Pirouette is?  I was going to use "She was dressed as Pirouette in red and her hair hung gently down" but I think the lyrics to the selected song are much better.

I've been hanging around a bit on Facebook.  Mostly I ignore game invites and such but I have done a few "what is your _____" quizzes.  One was something like "what gemstone are you?"

Mine was ruby.

A good fb friend suggested that that would make a good name for me.

I've thought about other names over the years, and played with a few for short periods of time: Marcia and Jill come to mind, but I've been Meg for a number of years now and the name is kind of intertwined with my persona.  So I think that's me.

But I like Ruby.

When I was born, I was given my mother's middle name*.  Meg doesn't have one, and I thought about Ruby.  I love the sound, I love the gem connection.

But Meg Ruby just doesn't sound right.  No matter what variation I use on Meg (and there are a lot), it just doesn't sound right.  Even if I switched names, it doesn't parse.

Ah well.  I'll stay with just being Meg.



*my mother didn't have a middle name either
