Anyways, the meaning of "MP" is top secret and Lily is the name I used to go by. I've used this name for nearly a decade 'cause it fits several particular criteria:

- catchy, memorable, rolls off the tongue well

- completely one of a kind

- non-indicative, not tied to any particular interest or trait of mine

(as in: not fandom-related, not hobby related like "superstartist" or related to a personality trait like, well, chimericallyCreative)

The thing is, I hardly recognize Lily as my name anymore. My name's Charlie, and I haven't gone by Lily in years, but I'm far too attached to MP-Lily as a handle to consider changing it and, more importantly, I cannot think of ANYTHING else that fits the criterion. And it used to be I'd tell people "call me Lily, not MP" but now it's the other way around. I don't mind being called MP, though.

on the internet, nobody knows you're a dog
