On Prénoms.com you can see what your name looks like in hieroglyphs (the first is Irma, the second Morgaine):
Brfxxccxxmnpcccclllmmnprxvclmnckssqlbb11116 (pronounced “Albin”) was a name given to a Swedish child by his parents in May 1996. Isaac Praise-God Barebone was a deeply religious preacher, and he named his son Hath Christ Not Died for Thee Thou Wouldst Be Damned Barebone. The son later changed his name to Nicholas Barbon. Guess Irma is a whole lot better  , although …  , according to Kabalarian Philosophy:
Though the name Irma creates the urge to be creative and original, we call attention to the challenge of controlling temper as a result of a highly intense, dissatisfied, and restless quality. This name, when combined with the last name, can frustrate happiness, contentment, and success, as well as cause health weaknesses or accidents to the head, worry and mental tension.
Your first name of Irma has given you energy, drive, and ambition, but also an almost excessively strong-willed and independent nature. While you are creative, inventive, and ingenious in practical matters, and always ready to initiate and promote new undertakings, you often experience difficulty in bringing your undertakings to a successful conclusion because of your own changing interests or changing circumstances.

consider this … "Artistic creation is not born ex nihilo from the brains of individuals as a private language; it has always been a social practice. Ideas are not original, they are built upon layers of knowledge accumulated throughout history. Out of these common layers, artists create works that have their unmistakable specificities and innovations. All creative works reassemble ideas, words and images from history and their contemporary context."
"Only after the invention of the creative genius, practices of collaboration, appropriation and transmission were actively forgotten."
"Copyright pits author against author in a war of competition for originality – its effects are not only economic, it also naturalizes a certain process of knowledge production, delegitimates the notion of a common culture, and cripples social relations. Artists are not encouraged to share their thoughts, expressions and works or to contribute to a common pool of creativity. Instead, they jealously guard their “property” from others, who they view as potential competitors, spies and thieves lying in wait to snatch and defile their original ideas. This is a vision of the art world created in capitalism’s own image, whose ultimate aim is to make it possible for corporations to appropriate the alienated products of its intellectual workers."
"The private ownership of ideas over the last two centuries hasn't managed to completely eradicate the memory of a common culture or the recognition that knowledge flourishes when ideas, words, sounds and images are free for everyone to use."

I don't want to exploit anyone's labor. Images and texts were mostly taken from the Internet and are usually linked to where I found them. These images and texts have touched me in one way or another, they've inspired me, made me think, served as a basis for the writing of poetry, etc. If you insist I take one such image or text you consider to be yours and yours only down, contact me, and I might. I'd prefer you to consider my blogging the image or text as a token of recognition, admiration or appreciation though. |

im really interested in my nam and have found out that there is a hotel named irma, the irish music group is called IRMA or omething, and in the mutant ninja turtles and mr.bean there are women called irma. i think its a nice name. not many people have it. i was born in 92 and it may not be very popular now but i love my name.
It was interesting to see my name in hieroglyphics. Names are so cyclical. My name is Philip–not very popular these days. On the other hand, my father’s name has come up in the popularity ranks, so I suppose it’s a matter of fashion.
The first thing I think of when hearing the name Irma is the 1963 film with Shirley Maclaine in the title role – despite never having seen it and it would have been in cinemas while I was still in the womb. But I like the name and I’m surprised it’s not more popular.
