Long story short...

My name is Sydney.

'Shiidonii' (Japanese) translates to, roughly 'death demon', if you go by spelling and splitting words. Yikes. I was gonna use this name for my pen name.

'Sydney' is a saint's name. (St. Denis)

'Denise' is the other female derivative of Dennis, of course.

Could I call myself 'Denise' for my writing? :p

I like Shiidonii Nachonaco. Has quite a ring to it, no?

Good point.

Forgot to mention it means 'Wide Meadow'. In English, it means 'Contraction of St. Denis'. (Sy-deh-nee)

I'm sick of people calling me 'Cindy'.

Sounds more like you're tired of stupid people. Sydney isn't a hard name. Hell, it's the largest city in Australia - it's not like people haven't heard of it. So if people are really calling you Cindy and they are over the age of 7, shoot them.

I vote for Sydney. If it bothers you that people misread/mispronounce it as Cindy, think of the possibilities when people try to say "Shiidonii". :Ssh:

EXCELLENT point.

I personally like Denise.

"Oh, Denise, scooby-doo,
I'm in love with you, Denise, scooby-doo,
I'm in love with you, Denise, scooby-doo,
I'm in love with yooooooooouuuuuuuu."

Randy and the Rainbows, baby!
