So when I got my beardie, she was a rescue. I like to change my rescues names, to me it’s symbolic of a better, new beginning in their lives. Anyways, I debated her name for like a WEEK. It was gonna be so many different things and we tested out so many different names. She was Lizzy, Rikki, Hibiscus, Clara, Indy, etc. Then, Inanna. After cycling through those names a BUNCH, we (I) decided that Inanna was her name. It just was. It kept coming back and it just felt right. We lovingly call her Annie for short, since my parents are stubborn and refuse to call her by her government name lol. Recently though, I saw a video of someone talking about he goddess Inanna, and then I realized. I pronounce her name like In-ANNE-Uh instead of In-NAH-Na. Like how some people say Anna and some people say Ana. Technically, I know now that I’m saying her name “wrong” but i lowkey feel like the “correct” pronunciation doesn’t fit her, but the way i pronounce it does. I’m also superstitious though, so I’m hoping that continuing to call her inANNa instead of the “correct” pronunciation isn’t disrespectful in anyway. Anyways. Here she is in all her glory. Folding her hands like the lady she is. (yes, that’s a heat rock at the bottom, I learned that’s not good for her and removed it a while ago :))
