I'll let you into a secret 14 months ago

my real name isn’t snowleopard. (Shock, horror!) Nor is it the name some of you know me by. My first name is actually Olivia, but my parents never called me that, so I became one of those people who use their second names, a fact with which certain bureaucracies are incapable of coping.

I’ve never used it but have been saving it up as my nom de plume. I’m delighted to see it’s currently very fashionable, so when I’m 63 I’ll be able to pretend to be 28. I think Olivia is a great name for a mistress of a salon, which is of course what the Breakfast Martini Mansion will become, once I sell the Nanonovel and the film rights.

it has dark chocolate trolls. It can’t fail! ;)

No Way!

SL is not your real name? I can’t believe it I need a to lie down and be fanned and fed grapes by a naked servant boy until I recover from the shock.

I am so excited about moving in to the Breakfast Martini Mansion! I’d like the East Wing please!

More horrific than finding out about India's space programme

I can’t believe your name isn’t really snowleopard.

I think Olivia

is a great name for just about anything. how supexiting to have one spare. i was deprived even of a middle name, oh poor me.

tis better to be deprived of a middle name ms. zanna

than to inherit one’s father’s (yes FATHER’s) first name as one’s middle name. Especially when said father’s name is WAY long.

fits

with the olive in martinis

very insightful!

Olivia

is one of my favourite names!

your parents

How very elegant and considerate of them to endow you with your very own nom-de-plume-to-be-used-later-in-life, so you didn’t even have to come up with a false one.
