Well, normally I'd say the name I use on boards like this one is made up, for it is. But since there is at least one person who has "Sira" as their first name, I voted "looks real".
The story behind this is that a friend of mine has a homepage dedicated to short stories. And since she got so few in the first place I wrote some under a pseudonyme: Sira Thiel.
My friend looked up that name and found someone actually has that name!!! But since I intended it to be one word (sirathiel) in the first place, I kept this nick. I like it a lot and have no trouble we people calling me that.
Well, the first time I write you an e-mail you'll find out what my real name is anyways. Stupid Outook. That's what gave me away to my friend. Adding that I had her beta reading a story where a race of people was calles Sirathil, I was surprised that it took her so long to figure it out. but in the end she didn't mind too much and we both laughed over it.
