Best part of playing IG is that you can just say theyre "war miniatures" and nobody will question it, but you get bonus points if the visitors are 40k fans too.

lol, what did you get named instead?

And you can always change your name to lilith, that would be epics -giggles- Though changing your name is expensive, but for me was necessary.

Drusilla? As in ...

Well that explains the Dark Eldar connection. :)

...

I wanted to name my daughter Anastacia, but my wife vetoed it. I thought it was a great name - when she was "finding herself" as a teen she could call herself either "Ana" or "Stacie" and either would fit. There's also a family connection. A great uncle of mine is named Anastacio. But no.

I also suggested naming her either Butch or Chlamydia to ensure the boys wouldn't come around her until she could legally rename herself, but the wife said no to that too.

I like Anastacia, that would've been a cool name. What'd she end up being named?

Isabella. Yep. We passed up a unique name, for one that turns out is the most popular girls name in the US, and has been for the past several years.
