If you want to make some money on your search for a family name I'm sure you could do it very easily.

How about the GoldenPalace.com Family ?

I think it has a wonderful ring to it and is certainly no less classy than naming your greek family after gangster movies.

Second of all, get off your high horse, what difference does it make if I have a low number of posts? If that is really what matters it's pitiful. I may not post often, but I have been Greek for years, get over yourself.

What difference does it make? You have obviously not taken the time to acquaint yourself with the way this site works. That being the case, the only person here on a high horse is you, telling us how to post.

Years? What, two? Three? Oooooo . . .I guess I should be intimidated. Silly me and my 25 years of membership. If you are new to a site, you really have no business telling the members how to behave.



I hate run-on sentences.

We're not trying to change anything. Just stop junking up the topic with unhelpful comments. Have some common courtesy. I'm sure that if this were a discussion in person none of you would be saying half of this stuff. Just because it's the internet doesn't give you the right to sit there and insult people just because you can hide behind a clever username. All I wanted were some suggestions, but clearly most of you don't want to help. So thank you to everyone who offered legitimate suggestions, but I'll take my search elsewhere.

FLOUNCE


eta - and I've looked in vain for an "insult". I stood up for a member who pointed out that perhaps the internet was not the place to look for you answer, and if anything, you insulted her. PM Tom Earp and he can direct you to a fabulous site you will simply LOVE.

Yes, yes I would. I would laugh and then probably suggest the family name "Bottom Tier Terrors" or something like that. I'd follow that up by telling you that by not having a "cool" family name you were already the coolest family in your fraternity, because that's true.

Wow, you're almost 50 and all you have to do with your time is trash talk with 20-somethings online.

Your math skills are waaaaayyyyyyyy off. Perhaps you should go and do some addition tables and work on that. Oh, and I recommend Strunk and White's The Elements of Style for your English needs.

FWIW, several people on GC have met me in person and know that my online personality is very much like my real life personality.

So no, this isn't keyboard courage.

Cool, you have nothing better to do than defend your boyfriend on a Greek website where aside from a joke which was followed up by a real suggestion he was getting exactly the advice he asked for until you showed up.

And you have nothing better to do than point that out.

Just once, wouldn't it be great if a FLOUNCE was followed by the flouncer actually leaving? But no - they just can't resist us!


And, I second OTW in saying that I am known for not suffering fools lightly. IRL, or here.

Broski, I responded because it's a Sunday night and I'm the one y'all are complaining about. Sorry for crashing the e-party I guess.

If you really want movie names that could be family names:

The Producers
Entourage
American Psychos (I'm still serious with that suggestion)
Die Hard
Lethal Weapons
The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants
