About my name Candilin

In recent years, I have come to realise that my name 'Candilin' has been used by others. Once in a while I run checks on my name on Google to see what it turns up with. Recently I find people with the same names. There is also an anti-fungi drug in my name!As such I thought I should at least tell you where my name Candilin came from, in case you think I am a copier, instead of the originator.When I was 12 years old (some 30 years ago!), I started using the nickname of Candy because at that time there was a famous Japanese anime called Candy Candy. But then I thought the name to be a little too common and wanting to be special, I tried to modify that name into something original. My first penpal was named Adeline, and I thought girls' name should end with a 'line' like hers. So I played with adding 'line' to Candy, and in grammar, we learnt that by changing a noun to plural, 'y' becomes 'i', I changed Candy to Candiline. My name was Candiline for sometime until I dropped the 'e' at the back so that people would stop pronouncing it as Can-di-line, instead of Can-di-lin.That was how I came up with my name 'Candilin' 32 years back. Maybe someone somewhere too came up with this name on his or her own, and I really don't mind. I just want to clarify that I did not copy my name from somewhere, I invented it!
