It happens.

I wanted a name that denotes coldness, heartlessness... something devoid of feeling, like a clockwork mechanism.

I have an obsession with water and drowning, and Ophelia is one of my very favorite characters to imagine about, so...there.

Er...not exactly.
Actually, it's zenith, and the zenith is the point in the sky directly above any given point on the earth. As in, if you stand on the ground and look directly up, the zenith is what you see.
The nadir is the point on the ground directly below you.

*edit*
Pardon me, I just noticed that you're from Norway, so it's very possible that in a language other than English, you're completely correct. Don't mind me.

Mrs.: Quite obvious. Wes:My husband's nickname from his childhood. Straker: My hubby is also obsessed w/ Salem's Lot which was, by the way, a good movie (both the original and the remake). Straker was a human servant to this frrreak. All in all, I guess it would be a tribute to my husband.

When I was a child, I couldn't say my first and middle names correctly, so I said shell doo, my granny then started calling me shell doo, when I signed up online it just seemed right, now that she has passed away, it is kind of a memorium to her.

My user name is based on the Cure's song "Catch." Really it relates to how I feel people often precieve me but there is a little truth in it. Often I meet people and tend to be flighty, so might be best friends at a party and then never see them again.

"I know who remind me of
A girl I think I used to know.
I used to sometimes try to see her
On those days that I felt like snow.

And I think that she smiled like you
She used just stand there and smile
And hold her eyes right up to heaven
And stay like that for quite awhile.

And she used to fall down a lot
That girl was always falling again and again
I used to sometimes try to catch her
But never even caught her name."

That's really really cool.
I really love that song. It's one of my very favorites.

Tara has always been the name of everything for me - my muse, alterego, childhood imaginary friends.

And as for Poison its one of my favourite words - poison, loveless, cellar door... but poison seemed right so thats what I picked.

My name is Heather. I have no idea when or why my online name became Heatherzilla but it did. Although for some reason my friends think it makes me sound like an old fat chick.

Two years back I had an amazing experience which influenced my screen name. My grandparents live in the Highlands of Scotland and a friend of mine came to Scotland with me. One day, I felt like I was choking, I couldn't breahte and I went outside. It was raining, I was wearing a black tanktop and a Mcdonald evening tartan kilt...barefoot. i walked across the field between my grandparents' cottage and the river that flows through the bottom of their land and my friend followed me out. It was just very soulful. I could feel the earth beneath my feet, the drops seeping through my tanktop, rolling down my chest, the tears and the rain mingling on my cheeks. It was holy. I've hardly ever felt such power and powerlessness at the same time. It's very hard to explain. I've always had an attachment to rain, the freshness it brings, the beauty of the world after it, the sunlight through clouds etc. I love rain. Whenever it rains, I feel an irresistible urge to walk in it, bare foot. So yes. I can't really explain it fully but chances are, you'll know what I mean if you've had a similar experience.

"Catch" really is a great song. I'd listen to it all the time, if possible.

Bexxle was just a name I thought of that I knew no one else would have. Think I was having problems that day. Everything was taken. Bexxle sounds like buxom and Bissell (the cleaning machine.)

You see, it really has a lot of atractive points. Paints the image of a women with large breats vacuuming and implies oral sex.

Linen is the name of my first cat. She was a wild kitten when my mom found her, and she became my pet when I was 2. She scratched me a good bit, but she was overall still a sweet kitten. Apparently I chose the name "Linen", but where in the heck did I know that word at age 2??? LOL.

I stole my name from the film Legend with Tom cruise and unicorns in it. Honeythorn gump is a character , a sort of elf. Played by a kid with a really wierd voice. I just liked the first part..Honeythorn. I left out the gump because it sounds stupid and I didn't want to endure Forrest jokes.

It has no actual meaning within the context of the film, it's just a character name, but if I were to give it a meaning then I guess it could be seen as... sweet but sharp, or sweet yet barbed? Whatever, I like it. I even have a bumblebee stamp to represent it

Mine is a combination of things.

I have been told by people that I am "dark","elegant" and "gothic".
Along with that, I do get complements that I am such a gentleman from my acts of common courtesy.
My grandfather was an awesome gentleman and it was amazing what I learned from him. "Common courtesy earns you respect" was something he taught me which I will never forget.

So, "Dark Gentleman" just suits me fine. ::tips hat::
