Question

Why does she call herself Paralee? What does it mean?

Answer 1

Yes, I was named Paralee when I was born after my great, great, great grandmother Para Lee. It's an old southern double name kind of like the more common Sara Lee, Anna Marie, Rose Marie, Mary Susan, etc, but my dad liked it better as one name. So there's the history on why I "call" myself Paralee

What should her name be? Given that she runs that site, should it be Paraleer...?

• Are we to assume that this answer recieved a vote simply because it displayed a sense of humor. (That's not an objection, I, too, think it's funny). - samdie Sep 2, 2009

Answer 3

It's her name. Don't change yours to Lee, now.

Answer 4

I have a funny story to tell on this:

I did not recognize Paralee as a name and thought it was a nickname, so ....

Our Web creator Chris was getting married to lovely Laura and I sent Paralee a congratulation PM to her future wedding as I always thought she and Laura were the same person.

I wish I had seen her face....

• I bet Laura wasn't too pleased when she found out, ouch!!! - Eddy Sep 2, 2009
• Is that, perhaps, related to your penchant for "nickname-ifying" everyone's handle? - samdie Sep 2, 2009
• :O lol - princessjane May 25, 2010

Answer 5

I put my name in one of the Spanish writing sections and it automatically changed my name to Paralee as well.

• This made me smile so I voted for it! - katydew Sep 10, 2011

Answer 6

Perhaps she was named that way when she was born. Try Google for it and you will find the name's history. I did.

Answer 7

Knowing from experience, she prefers to be called "Parapantslee".

• I presume you are joking - no? - Zoltán Sep 2, 2009
• Actually, Zoltán, Howard does call me Parapantslee to irritate me on occasion. We are friends from college. - Paralee Dec 16, 2009

Answer 8

I put in my name as Amber in one of the "write" sections, and it automatically changed it to Paralee. I guess it's the Spanish equivalent?
