Greetings:

I don't think anyone has this name..

Enjoli ... rhymes with bonjovi.

My mother saw the commercial for this perfume on the TV when she was nine months pregnant. It was either Asia, Egypt or Enjoli. We can see what won out. I've learned to embrace it completely.

My cousin's name is Anjoli and I had a student named Enjoli both pronounced like yours. I like the name. :)

:) thank you!!!

:( :( :(

Re: Name
 

My name is Candace too. I never knew that it means Nubian queen. I have however, heard that it means "incandescent" or "full of light.

Now that I think of it, in the New Testament, Candace was the name of an Ethiopian Queen. Maybe that's where Nubian Queen came from.

Bluz4, sorry for the hijack, but I love the "Farnsworth Bentley" quote in your signature.

Oh please. :p Most of the kids on this board don't even know about that commercial. Didn't that just take you BACK. LOL!!!!

whitley sang that song this morning on A Different World.... definitely did not know this was the "bacon Enjoli song" commercial.

Re: Re: Re: Quick hi Jack
 

Of course, I remember that commercial. And now that durn song is in my head, LOL.

Charlene

Do you know Anthony Hamilton? ;)

LOL you stooooopid.

HUH? :confused:

Anthony is a singer with a song called Charlene, one of my favorite songs by him.

Oh, OK. Well if it says good things about me then, "Yeah, I know him. He wrote a song about me." If not, then, "Neva heard of him."

I'll have to buy that CD! :D

It's 9.99 at Target!

Here are the lyrics. . .

Lyrics:

Verse I
Woke up this morning found a letter that she wrote
She said she's tired that I'm always on the road
To hard to swallow being alone
She needs someone at night that she can hold

She must have told me a thousand times before
Silent cries I use to ignore
God knows I love her
Didn't mean to hurt her

Chorus
Baby I'll be
Sitting here waiting on you to come home again
I won't leave
Promise I'll be here to the very end
By your side
To protect you and to love you and to be with you for life
Come on home to me Charlene

Verse II
She knows I really love this old music thang
Since I was a child it's been my dream
I can support her treat her and spoil her
You know buy her the finer things

But I forgot about loving her
Damn the money, diamonds and pearls
What about the hard day she had with the baby
All she need is for me to love her

Chorus
Baby I'll be
Sitting here waiting on you to come home again
I won't leave
Promise I'll be here to the very end
By your side
To protect you and to love you and be with you for life
Come on home to me Charlene

Bridge
Promise I can't live without her
God knows I need her loving
And it hurts so bad that's she gone
I pray that she'll come back one day
In my life

Chorus
Baby I'll be
Sitting here waiting on you to come home again
I won't leave
Promise I'll be here to the very end
By your side
To protect you and to love you and be with you for life
Come on home to me Charlene

Oh oh oh
Sometimes I cry
Charlene if you're listening would you call on me
Because my heart is aching



**very soulful singer who used to sing backup for DeAngelo.**

Re: Re: Hello, my name is....
 

I've been thinking the same thing!

Ok, my name is Jennis - no it's not Jenny, Jennifer, Janice, Genesis...

Say the word "tennis" but put a "J" in front instead of a "T." It's a combination of "James" and "Dennis," my uncles...and yes I'm female.

People have serious problems pronouncing my name! LOL!

:D I love Anthony Hamilton. Charlene is a great song, CT4!

evaclear....crystalclear....
 

My name is Crystal

Thanks, CT4, for posting the song!!
 

I don't know how to quote very well, so this is re. the Anthony Hamilton song that I now know was DEFINITELY written for me. :eek:

My ex-husband is a singer/songwriter/musician! Talk about Deja Vu! Someone must have been listening through the walls about 6 years ago. ;)

My name is Rachel

Re: Quick hi Jack
 

Toocute,

Sorry for the hijack. but every once in a while, i tell someone my name and they break out in song. i missed the commercial, but i've learned the song just from hearing others sing it. and yes for a while, i got a bottle of that perfume for christmas or my birthday every single year. and personally i think it smells a bit musty. oh well... continue with our previously scheduled threat.

and steeltrap, thanks girl about the siggie. i got it from a NY Times article about him creating his own line of umbrellas. the piece was hilarEEEous.

Re: Re: Quick hi Jack
 

I got a copy of that article. It was funny. I was picturing him talking as I was reading his quotes.

What a nice name!! That is my daughter's middle name -- same spelling and all!!

My first name is Robin.

Kristis, but I usually leave the s off.

Di a k a and yes it is in the name, but my nickname is Chynna.

Name
 

My name is Blair ! :D

Lakeisha

But everyone calls me Keisha, and it's in every down south rap song ever, or so it seems.

My name is Allyson.

Henry but I go by my middle which is Kershaw

Hi, My name is.............
 

Ranando (Ruh-Nan-Do) Kinda like banana

I HATE it when my name is misspelled or mispronounced. What kills me is when people mispronounce it after I say it for them.

Them: Whats your name?

Me: Ranando

Them: Orlando? (or Rolando or Randal or some other sh*t that I didn't just say)

Me: No, Ruh-Nan-Do *Thinking WTF, I JUST said it for you!*

Maybe I just have no patience

Candygirl/Candace: You are absolutely correct!
 

*RM pulls out office dictionary and looks up the word Nubian*

...lets see, nth, nu, nuance, nub, nubbin, nubble, nubby, Nubian!

1. a: a native or inhabitant of Nubia. b: a member of one of the group of Negroid tribes that formed a powerful empire between Egypt and Ethiopia from the 6th to the 14th century.

2: Any of several languages spoken in central and northern Sudan.

So yes, Nubia is/was, at least, semi-Ethiopian.

BTW, this also goes to show that referring to blacks as Nubian can be a bit of a misnomer, only blacks who lived/originated from this region can truly be referred to as Nubian.

And that's my lesson for today.
