Onomatology and Made-up Names (part B)

Image via Wikipedia
Following my “Onomatology and Made-up Names” ( part A ) Post :
https://dodagrivas.wordpress.com/2011/01/25/onomatology-and-made-up-names-part-a/
that has to do with Names and the hidden knowledge behind them…. Aristotle , Plato , Kimon , Dorothy,Diana,..and countless lists of beautiful,well-sounding names that each one of them opens a page or pages in History,Religions,Mythology and so many other sources of interest as I have already mentioned on my earlier post ” ONOMASTICS (part A) I felt like publishing my experience with my Made-up name “DODA” ( how odd,there are no Ds in my real name) it is actually a coined name which I have adopted since I was a toddler and never changed it despite my friends’ suggestions and comments upon it , which I am afraid were rather caustic… have a look ( part A) post ,to see what I mean and get your laugh….
From time to time people asked me if I had any connections with Andros, a Greek island in Cyclades, or with Poland and, and the height of the matter was when asked if I had any connections with Kashmir. Kashmir ? No, no connections with Kashmir,the only connection with Kashmir is my Kashmir scarf….
No connections with Andros , Poland….
Of course,I started to have suspicions that there must be something behind my innocent,coined name….and the mystery started to be solved when at a social reception I met a lady whose name was DODA ..Doda? What are you talking about? This name is only mine…(let me add some drama to my narration…) Yes, her name was Doda and she came from Andros where they have a local name Maryoga and Doda is the short name of it.To be honest I so much liked the name Maryoga that I adopted it..(it’s my pseudonym for different uses) . The rest of the story was left for the Google search machine and Wikipedia…They opened up pages and pages and unfolded information and information where all my questions got an answer..
The Poland …mystery by finding the famous Polish singer Dorota or Doda… and to my big surprise….
My Kashmir connection,not the scarf of course.. but the Beautiful Doda winter capital of Jammu-Kashmir,near outer Himalayan ranges,near the Kashmir valley,a very interesting district ,endowed with ..Imagine!!! Vast wealth of Natural Beauty and rich forests and rivers and snow-clad lofty mountains…OMG I am sure this Doda district was meant …for me and my passions….. I must publish a post on DODA…Kashmir…
You see how much Geography and culture behind an innocent Made-up name… It’s high- time you started searching you names …

This is a really fascinating subject, dear Doda. I love these two posts and your story, it made me smile. So many wonderful synchronicities.
Our names, whether given or made up, er never a coincidence. 🙂 ❤
