yep. that comment was supposed to go under my Other comment...where it would make more sense seeeee...
for second life...if it's the same as when I joined...you have to choose from a list of last names that are given...but you can choose any first name you want....so since I wanted to be avaD I chose Ava for my first and Dougall out of the list of possible last names.
