Explain your Username:

"B" is the only nickname I've ever accepted, and I was born and raised in California. My heart is still there, no matter how much I love my adopted home state (Oregon).
Explain your Username:

Met Dad at age 6.
Added his name to mine at age 9.
Took too long to write 26 letters on timed tests.

Started writing "Rachel S-L"
Kids noticed.
It became my nickname.

Been SL or Esselle ever since!
Didn't even answer to "Rachel" until after Uni. 😆
Explain your username:

My genes go back to Sparta, which was a matrilineal city-state, cuz the men were expected to die in battle. Leonidas of 300 fame was married to Queen Gorgo (Gorgon mythology traces back to Sparta)

So if our glare turns men to stone, i’m hoping my wink turns y’all to smiles 😉
