What does it MEAN??

[Meg McKilty]

I was in the pool this morning doing my first pool workout in 4.5 years (yay me), and I was pondering very hard: what the crap does "kelownagirl" mean?!

Is it Kel-Own-A-Girl? Is it Kelowna-Girl?

More-so, what does everyone's name mean? Mine, Meg McKilty, is a name a friend made up to name his future bar. I will have a stained-glass portrait of me on the ceiling in a kilt and have happy hour drinks named after Scottish lore.
Btw, I am not Scottish; I just like kilts.

Kelowna is a place.

Kelowna is only a half hour drive away from where I live, so it never occurred to me that the name might have any other meaning.

btw, my nick is the acronym for the words on the top tube of my bike "the Little B!!ch That Could".

Of course, I had assumed you were Scottish because of your name and think it's fun that you're all about the kilt!

Hugs and butterflies,

Melalvai is from a elven language my husband invented when he was a teenager. It might sound weird but constructed languages, or "con-lang" are so common that their forums & lists make TE and even Bike Forums look tiny and mild mannered. The whole family has their own elven name. It's an easy way to come up with a name that has not been chosen by anyone else.

Melalvai means Peaceful Mischief. My daughter, Nelalvai, means Little Mischief.

Kelowna.
When I first started coming here I dyslexified that into "clown".
No offense intended, you can see how that can happen

That's awesome! I never suspected, you rascal!

I'll never forget how hard I laughed when I finally figured out what MM_QFC's name meant.

My username is just a contraction of my name (Diane) with a favorite book character (Ayla).
