I don't know where it originated, but have you ever seen the shorthand where the names of a couple are combined to form a single name, i.e., "Spuffy" and (ugh!)"Bennifer"?
It's actually very handy, and sometimes it just works. "TriNeo" "Robecca", even?
I believe it was Joelle that dubbed Fran and Wendy - "Frendy", which is so damn cute you can almost see the little bluebirds flying around it.
Sometimes you have to have to try a few combinations out.
"Jjaddie" is pretty lame, but "Fraks" kinda works.
As far as Keanu and I are concerned, I think "Keanix" sounds like a programming language, but "Krianu".....gosh, that just rolls right off the tongue, doesn't it?
So, if you and Keanu were so cute a couple that you went by one name, what would it be?
it wahs | from inside the mind of krix at January 31, 2004 01:03 PM .Tyanu
Posted by: Tyler on January 31, 2004 12:58 PMI've actually thought about this before *blushes*!!
Melanu.
Posted by: Melissa on January 31, 2004 01:29 PMSometimes, my name is shortened to Mis (which I don't like very well), but when combined with Keanu, we could be Kiss! I think I like that better than Melanu.
Posted by: Melissa on January 31, 2004 02:08 PMHmmmm....I'd say keanugirl, but we already have one of those here, don't we? :)
Anakea??? Keana??? Ridiculous, both of them - sound like Hawaiian girls' names
Posted by: Niobe on January 31, 2004 02:36 PMHow about Nakeanu (pronounced Nake ee a nu) or Keancy? :}
Posted by: nancy on January 31, 2004 03:46 PMCatanu (which sounds kewl!! kinda martial art thing going on LMAO) Which is better than Keanatz... :P
Posted by: Catz on January 31, 2004 04:05 PMwell, as you guessed it , I am older than the lot of you so for me , it would definetly be 'Mom'
I like the idea of you trying to find new names with the name Keanu or similarity in it. sounds like a lot of fun..
All I can think of is 'Newkey' not Nookie..
Posted by: Canapril on January 31, 2004 04:11 PMZeanu or Keazen. I like Keazen.
Real name? Keanne. Hmmmm... that works.
Janke or Kejan.. Kejan sounds like some sort of spice doesn't it? LOL!.. This is cute, thanks for the loss of a few brain cells for this LOL!!>> :).. hugs and God bless
Posted by: Janice on January 31, 2004 04:19 PMMy name would be Michanu or Keanelle (not very good ones, huh?) [...]
Posted by: Michelle on January 31, 2004 04:30 PMPeanu... *arggh*... or Keatra...*mmmpf*... sounds like "Peanuts".... :o)
Posted by: Petra_2 on January 31, 2004 04:50 PM"Peanu" makes me snicker.;)
Janice, you could also do Keanice or Jananu.
Keanelle is kind of cool.
I like Melanu and Catanu just rawks.
I also thought of "Krianeux", which looks a mess but actually is pronounceable and uses all the letters.
Posted by: krix on January 31, 2004 04:59 PMKewl Krix, like those names too :) Yours are too cool.. I don't think they are hard to pronounce though..:)
hugs and God bless Janice
mine would be Reanu or Kebecca???
I don't know, sounds kinda stupid to me
keza........like keezah...or my full name melissa, would be combined to form kissa, or leanu...LEANU IS NICE! liza+keanu=leanu
Posted by: Liza on January 31, 2004 05:12 PMi didnt notice that there was a melissa before me and though of kiss! sorry!
Posted by: Liza on January 31, 2004 05:13 PMI don't like Leanu as much as Keaura.
Posted by: Laura on January 31, 2004 05:24 PMHow about Keanuda? Breanu?
Posted by: Brenda on January 31, 2004 06:05 PM*stumped* shame on me for a silly screen name...
keanudel? ugh.
real name..keanis? ugh.
I guess this is proof of our inevitable destiny to be apart.
Posted by: bakednudel on January 31, 2004 06:33 PMmeant to say, I *love* the personals (for Valentines?) and that's one of my favorite grabs, since I fell in love with Thomas A. Anderson before Keanu!
Posted by: bakednudel on January 31, 2004 06:35 PMHow about meanings? My real name means "house of poverty." Keanu means "cool wind." Put them together: wind flattens shack. And he does, oh, he does.
Posted by: Smit too on January 31, 2004 06:50 PMHee. I love being Frendy. It's much better than Wanscico. ;)
Posted by: skits on January 31, 2004 07:04 PMQuite alright Liza. No need to apologize. We can all share the love.
However, when it comes to meanings, I don't fare so well. Melissa is Greek for honey bee. Combine this with Keanu's name and you get Cool Breeze Stings.
Posted by: Melissa on January 31, 2004 07:24 PMkrix,
Was just reading your blog and loved what you did with the whole "Fraks" situation that I started doing it with Keanu's characters and his love interest.
Devil's Advocate: "Kevianne" now is that just friggin cuter than all get out or what?! Some of these when you hear them and you picture the couple you can't help the fact that your toes start to curl.
The Replacements: "Shanabelle"
The Matrix: I liked your "TriNeo!"
Point Break: "Johnner" or "Tyohnny" er...that one's not so fun.
Something's Gotta Give: "Juricah," "Julicah" or "Erian"
Hardball: "Conoreth" or "Elizabor" (I don't think I like the latter so much)
Sweet November: "Nelsara"
If you put Eddie and Lilly together for "Chain Reaction" it really doesn't change.
Johnny Mnemonic: "Janohnny"
A Walk In The Clouds: "Victoraul" or "Pauloria"
Parenthood: "Toddie"
Dracula: "Minahnathan" (ROTFLMAO!)
Rivers Edge: "Matthandra" or "Cassatt"
Oh, that was fun!
audanu, keaudy or how about keandy, this is cool....
Posted by: audy on January 31, 2004 11:20 PMSheanu or Keanice, nah we are meant to be! ;)
Posted by: Shanice on February 1, 2004 03:10 AM"Toddie" LOL
All good baby all good...
Yes - you do get up to some strange things whilst I'm asleep...
Um...
Jenneau
Keannifer
Can't think of anything else...
Posted by: Keanuette on February 1, 2004 03:45 AMKeaddi or Keandi... not so bad.
But... Meanu or Madeanu? *wrinkles up nose* Uuhhwuuuuhh!
Posted by: Maddi on February 1, 2004 04:43 AMChiantu? Keanti? makes me think of Anthony Hopkins.
Veanu, Keanessa? I kinda like Veanu.
Posted by: Chianti on February 1, 2004 08:14 AMEhehehe.... I guess it would be:
Bianu
It actually sounds pretty cool!!!
Posted by: bia on February 1, 2004 10:28 AMTeanu? I sound like a new age beverage!
Posted by: T on February 1, 2004 10:56 AMlorianu? keanori? how about lori reeves? i kinda like the sound of that...
Posted by: lori on February 1, 2004 12:37 PMor loreeves...heh...
Posted by: lori on February 1, 2004 12:38 PMMy name would be Keandre of course. Its so funny I have played this game before in my mind a million times!!!!
Posted by: Dre on February 2, 2004 01:05 AMKeanda. The New 2004 1650cc Keanda motorcycles. I can deal with that.
Posted by: Spike on February 2, 2004 01:37 AMso much fun that a girl has to de-lurk. hi, team!
i would be Beenu or Keabee. both sound like tellytubbies' poor relations. real name? Canu or Kearol.
just taking this space to say thanks for keanuvision. you rock.
Posted by: bea herenow on February 2, 2004 02:42 AM'Julianu!', which sounds a bit like 'Galliano', the *hot* fashion designer.
Combined with the '!', which I blatantly ripped off from designer Joop!, I'd say we'd make a hell of a team on the Parisian catwalks ;-)
Teanu again!
Kawny
I'd just be happy if the press refered to us as, "Keanu with his wife, what's her name." Wouldn't we all?
Posted by: Tawny on February 2, 2004 09:26 AMOh, almost forgot! I hope the bass playing is coming along great!
Posted by: Tawny on February 2, 2004 09:30 AMWhat a cute game it is!!!
Ludmianu - or Lusenkea are my Keanu+me names....
sounds OK to me, what do you say?
Posted by: lusenkea on February 2, 2004 09:59 AMHappy pair - Keaka Vianu, yes!
Posted by: vika on February 2, 2004 11:12 AMKrike? (creaky? yep thats me)
keanis? krianu?
Nope - nothing interesting here.
Here is what I came up with:
Mauranu
Maukea
Kereen
Keareen
Keanma
Kema
Anureen
Okay, I think I took this a little overboard. :0)
