"Luxuria Vocis", nice name, huh? I picked it up several latin names at Latin Words List.
Why Luxuria Vocis?
I love any word starts with letter "L" so automatically clicked on the L section, went throught the list, and found a word that attracted me. It's Luxuria. My dead art site used to be called as Luxury Masterpiece. I love that name. But why Luxury? In my opinion, all I have done is good, and this is my achievement. I don't want to compare my works to others. It will make you down, or even selfish, won't it? Certainly, no more Masterpiece for my brand-new personal site. I think more about rants,my heart shouts, and whatever in my mind. It's kinda voice from your deep heart. So I went through to the letter "V" hoping would find Voice word in Latin, since it's Latin - English words list. And I did. It's vocis.
Why Latin?
My past affiliate, Leiyla, who inspired me. She is such a really great artist in abstract arts. Her site name is in Latin which is called as Lacrimae Spiritus. She also names every her art with Latin name. And I think it's quite interesting since there are so many English site name. To be different, why not? Latin is such a universal language which you will find them regularly when you study Biology. Is that true?
Why not Indonesia? Isn't it your mother language?
I find it's no longer attract visitors to click on the link to this site. People might not know what it mean if I translate Luxuria Vocis to Suara yang Mewah (Indonesian Language). People might think: "Oh, this is not an English site, I even don't know what language it is. I better not to visit."
Isn't Latin is the same? People will think it's a Latin site?
Based in my conclusion that latin is one of universal language, it's no for the answer.
