Re: How Did You Get Your Fandom Name?

Oh my, are you a mind reader? I’ve wanted to ask the same question for days.
I initially thought your name was CUDDLY clothes...:)

Well, my name is of course the last words of the poem Bosie Douglas wrote for Wilde and which was used as proof for their homosexuality in the 1895 trial against him.
“I am the love that dare not speak its name.”

I rather like the double meaning (because of course I am also reluctant to use my real name).
