Revisiting the name "Syren"

From time to time I contemplate this name.  It is a name I particularly love to see in written form and I actually love the sound of it when spoken.  But what does it mean?  It is a made up word or name that simply appeals to me.

Syren makes me think of serene...  It makes me think of the sea.  Some people pronounce it see ren... others sigh ren...
It was half chosen and half given.  I've said this many times before.

(recap)
When I'd audition for singing roles, the panel would always do a double take, and onlookers would be in awe of my singing... Mainly because they didn't know what to expect until they heard it.  Because of this the name was given to me.

But the name Syren is derived of:

siren-
–noun
1.   Classical Mythology . one of several sea nymphs, part woman and part bird, who lure mariners to destruction by their seductive singing.
2.   a seductively beautiful or charming woman, especially one who beguiles men: a siren of the silver screen.
 3.   an acoustical instrument for producing musical tones, consisting essentially of a disk pierced with holes arranged equidistantly in a circle, rotated over a jet or stream of compressed air, steam, or the like, so that the stream is alternately interrupted and allowed to pass.
 4.   an implement of this kind used as a whistle, fog signal, or warning device.
 5.   any of several aquatic, eellike salamanders of the family Sirenidae, having permanent external gills, small forelimbs, and no posterior limbs.
 –adjective
6.   of or like a siren.
7.   seductive or tempting, especially dangerously or harmfully: the siren call of adventure.
–verb (used without object)
8.   to go with the siren sounding, as a fire engine.
–verb (used with object)
9.   to allure in the manner of a siren.


With that said... Is the name Syren really so bad?


So I revisit the question...  to be Syren... or to be Maria?  And why do I like the sound of Syren Maria?

I guess I still think if Marshall Mathers can claim the names Eminem (I had the idea of turning my initials of MM into a stage name as well)  and Slim Shady... I can be Syren Franco.

Why Franco?  Why not Morales?  Syren Morales...  Personally, I simply like the flow of sounds with Syren Franco.
The name Syren is not as uncommon as I'd hoped and there are many who use it in the fetish realm.  But I'm taking it back and claiming that name for the positive side.

So there... that's my revisitation of the alias Syren Franco... it remains synonomous to me to Maria De Jesus Morales Franco (My full name).

Laura Yoder Stairs It is a pretty name...but I think Maria is also. But I can understand wanting a name that belongs only to you.

BFC Ink Doll Collection Complete!!

Well, if it isn't obvious, I got into doll collection, but I suppose I always was a doll collector, just not really by choice as my mom would buy me a porcelain doll every year for my birthday until I moved away for college, but even then I still got porcelain dolls as gifts from her and other members of my family. Over the years of course I have collected dolls from the 80's like the Kimberly doll by Tommy, and of course Barbie...  then I got into repainting Bratz dolls the past couple of years and added Monster High to the list of dolls to look for at flea markets etc... But one day, by chance I came across the now out of production MGA Entertainment 18" BFC Ink (Best Friends Club Ink) dolls.  These dolls are way cuter, in my opinion, than American Girl Dolls (which I really do not like at all actually) or Journey Girls etc...  They have a hard body all the way and were made in two types.  The first productions were just all vinyl bodies, much like the Wellie W...

Day 18: Gotta get ready for the February Show with Finding THETIS

I have been getting up late.  This is getting out of hand... and I really need to go back to the Kaiser clinic to get my blood-work done.  I've lost the morning, but I can at least go out and earn money.  I get dressed, my butterfly print top, and khaki pants... I opt to wear my slipper boots... who do I have to impress?  This is not my best outfit.  I don't care. I get to work but it is already 1:30.  After a couple of rides I remember it is Thursday.  Wasn't I going to carpool with Bryce from Finding THETIS?  I send a text message. "We carpooling?" "I was just thinking about you" he replies.  We joke about food before hand and decide to grab pizza on the way to practice, thus we should meet up at 4.  Itis now about 2:30 and I become self aware to what I am wearing... yeah, no one cares, but suddenly I don't want to be this frumpy around my band.  I stop by Ross and buy some dressy pants, a dressier blue shirt, and some shoes, I ...

Day 4: There's always Mexico!

Thursday the 4th. I am changing the names of my relatives for their privacy, even though it's fairly obvious who they are. (this marks the point where I chose to go back and change all the names of the people I have previously mentioned in my blog entries to preserve their privacy outside of our immediate communities and families.) My aunt Nina and cousin Jes were coming to visit my cousin Elisa in San Diego.  I agreed to meet my mom at her house and then carpool to a rendezvous spot.  But as I got close to my mom's she told me my cousins were en route there. When everyone was together Elisa expressed desire to go to Mexico.  Oh the irony considering my concerns the night before...  But sure, why not!!! After working out concerns about not having their passports on them, we went.  We were going to go to Tijuana but we ended up going all the way past Rosarito to Puerto Nuevo to eat Lobster. Upon arriving Elisa suggested her mom, Jes, keep driving t...
