Big Grin a little help from your forum friends is always nice!

The only thing to be very careful of is that your name doesn't mean something rude or silly or inappropriate in Arabic!
Exactly, that is why I asked everyone here to help me choose an Arabic name that would suit my dance persona when I wanted to change my forum name. Since I don't know Arabic, but wanted an Arabic name that fit my personality, they came up with "Farasha Hanem," which means "Butterfly Lady." I'm very happy and grateful to my friends for helping me choose a name I love.

Of course, since I'm still a "chickadee," or a newbie dancer, I still dance like a hiccupping caterpillar wearing all-left combat boots...
