On Vanity and being bored
Tamara is a female given name of Hebrew, Italian, Russian, and Sanskrit origin, meaning "palm tree" or "spice". The short form is Tam or Tammy, or more rarely Mara or Tara. An alternative spelling of Tamara, is Tamra.
"Tamara" is a Russian variant of the Biblical name "Tamar", meaning "palm tree". Tamara also translates to Sanskrit as "spice". Variations include Tamra, Tamera, and Tamora. In North America Tamara is pronounced Tam-uh-ruh or Tuh-mare-uh; in the United Kingdom and Australia it's pronounced Tuh-mahr-uh; and in Russia Taw-mahr-uh.
The name was popular in the United States during the second half of the 20th Century, peaking in the 1970s. In Eastern European countries like Russia, Serbia and the Czech Republic it has been a common name for centuries. In Australia it was very popular during the 1980s and early 1990s.
The most common nickname for Tamara is Tammy or Tam, but other nicknames exist, such as Toma in Russia, Mara, Tama, or even Tara.
I finally know the meaning of my name, I cannot believe that I have looked up so many things in wikipedia, and I never did look up my name !! so all seems correct, I was born in the late seventies ( man I'm old) in Serbia so its kind of historically correct name chosen for me ….
PS: I hate how Americans pronounce my name ( Ta-Me-Ra) grrrr!!

So we've positively established that your name is Tamara..and you were born in the late seventies in Serbia..probably Belgrade..during the time of Tito, I can make other predictions but those would be personal..so I won't
LOL Tamara, that was an overwhelming dose of your name :)
You know I'm fascinated with names :)
If I didn't know you well, I would've said she's just being narcissist ... but .. I know you're not
I like the name, but its the first time i know what Tamara means.. that is interesting :)
Don't forget the Ukrainians, they also like Tamara.
That was benificial! I appreciate the name Tamara more now hehe. U reminded me of my name, it's confusing, some books say Dima is a rainy cloud, some people say it's a light cloud with little rain :S I guess it depends on my mood.:P

I don't think you are really good at making predictions, you only predicted that I was born in Belgrade, which is wrong I was born in ( Nis), other info you mentioned came either from my post or from historical knowledge : )lol so I dare say you couldn't predict anything else : D

Tamara,
I threw a stone in the well..and waited to hear it drop! it wasn't as deep as I thought!
Averrose
Wow, great reply, it sound smart, deep but mysterious enough, for me not to figure out what it is, besides the obvious insult. So either I object on the insult and sound insecure, and stupid for not REALLY getting what it ACTUALY meant. Or I go on pretend to be smart and say something equally ambiguous and containing the same level of hidden mockery, then I look petty! so it’s a win win situation for you : ) and it’s a loose loose one for me ….Darn !! I thought I was smart, oh well back to the whole in the sand : (
loooooooooool : )
Hmm..when I wrote it..I wasn't thinking that much..so that could mean I'm stupid..or very smart!
In any case..it was an attempt to say: I tried..didn't quite hit the mark! simply..nothing more..nothing less!
Averrose
Well its a quite interesting conversation at least : ) I reread what I wrote I sound so sweet don't I : )
Just to be on the safe side...you always sound sweet!
Averrose
looool : ) I laughed so loud I think every one in the office is now sure that I'm crazy : )
Didn't you read my profile? I never claimed to be sweet : )
altho what i know (since my neice is named tamara) is that its an arabic name meaning the palm tree with loads of dates :D (sounds better in arabic)
boredom does wonders :D
Should I call you proudpall or verbal alchemy ? in any case
Glad you liked the post,and welcome to my corner : )
well its a nice corner :)
and u can call me Dima :flowerreh:
Welcme ya Dima : ) thanks for the kind words
yeah but you claimed to be marvelous..with a twist..not sure what the twist means..but to be on the safe side again..I'm sure its a twist of sugar cane!
Averrose
That is for me to know ...and for the rest, to asume or ponder or find out : )
So do you take the blue pill or the red bill ...
Neither..I don't need pills to perform!
p.s: the rule of the "stone in the well" is applicable here.
: )
Grr same here :( my name is Tamara and ppl allways mispronounce my name..... Usoly on purpose...my names pernounces (tuh-mare-uh)...and ppl pronounce it like this ( tam-er-uh) it's really annoying...
