What does your user name mean?
 
What was the inspiration for your user name?

Firestorm 03-25-2007 06:16 AM

wishcat 03-25-2007 06:21 AM

My name is wishcat because I love cats!! =^.^=
The wish is because I've never really been happy, and I was always wishing I was somewhere else, wishing for better things, always just wishing away. =p

Vyvian Blackthorne 03-25-2007 06:25 AM

'Vyian' pronounced Vay-Vian-was the name of a hidden cult during the Witch burning times to which all of the witches would hide and conduct spells without supervision. Black-thorne symbolizes a black thorn, which represents me, lonely and embracing the darkness as it stabs silently.

Killer_Burrito 03-25-2007 06:34 AM

Well I was playing SOCOM online for PS2 a long, long time ago and needed a new user name. I was eating a burrito from whole foods, so...I figured why not? KILLER_BURRITO!!!!
yay!

Elliot 03-25-2007 09:12 AM

Elliot is just something my parents and friends started calling me a few years ago. I guess it stuck, so it's been my username for a lot of sites.

Really? I actually like your original. If not, it'd probably be 'PyschoBatcave' :D

Acushla 03-25-2007 02:25 PM

Mine means "darling." I found it on a website of obscure words.

KontanKarite 03-25-2007 02:33 PM

It sounds kinda gailic, Acushla...

As for mine, originally I go by Soul Reaper. But that name bears many bad rep points for some reason. I guess it's cause it comes off as kinda gloomcookie to many.

It really only started out as an on-line video game name for deathmatches. I wanted to keep it for everything else as well.

Well, Kontan Karite is the Japanese translation I got from Babel Fish of Soul Reaper.

But my name comes in a few varieties these days. Kontan, Kontan Karite, Soul Reaper, SR, Bound Soul Reaper...

Arashi 03-25-2007 04:12 PM

From what I remember, my username means storm in Japanese.
As for the reason it is my username, this is merely because I've been using "Arashi" on the internet and most public situations as my name for quite some time now. I think it adequately fits my personality at times, as well...
My real name is Alicia. Arashi, Alicia - they sound somewhat alike when said aloud.

DarkHeartedDemoness 03-25-2007 04:13 PM

For some reason, when I saw your name I thought about those african parables starring that spider-guy that was a total wiseass... Then I remembered his name was Anansi.

Sable_Rose 03-25-2007 06:07 PM

I thought Sable_Rose was more classy then Black_Rose...?

Yeah, I know my Screen Name isn't really original, but it wasn't exactly my top priority at the time I joined this site.

Heh, that's interesting.. Arashi, Anansi, I can easily see why you'd think of that...

Rizash 03-25-2007 08:51 PM

Rizash -- Risen from the ashes.... We're all first and 2nd generation stardust.... And I like to rebuild things from scratch better than ever. Cars, computers, life in general is better and more enjoyable after being rebuilt from the ground up. Everyone just calls me riz though (online that is)

MollyMac 03-25-2007 08:57 PM

It's an abbreviation of an old dance and soccer alias, but I've been called Molly forever by my grandmother and we cannot figure out why.

Rizash! Where have you been? Seems like a while since I have seen you around.
Welcome back.

PersephoneX 03-25-2007 10:41 PM

We've had one of these before...havent we? (o.O)

Godslayer Jillian 03-25-2007 10:45 PM

Haha, three in fact. I'm looking for the other ones to copy and paste my answer. My first explanation for my name was ok, but I detailed it a little more in the second one.

PersephoneX 03-25-2007 10:49 PM

Ok. So in some cases it is nice to be able to elabourate on what you said... :)

Rizash 03-25-2007 10:54 PM

I've been busy with work, stressed out, and trying to relax. Every once in a while I check the forums and I'll post every once in a while :) Nice to be noticed.

emeraldlonewoulf 03-26-2007 04:25 AM

Well, hello! Long time no see! Haven't seen you about, here or IM. Glad you're back!

Minyaliel 03-26-2007 06:37 AM

Minyaliel is Sindarin ("Elvish" a la Tolkien). It's a compound of Minuial and the female ending -iel, only shortened (else it would be Minuialiel, which is probably prettier, but more tedious to type), and means "Daughter of the Dawn". This is a name I was given because I was born at dawn, and it's stuck. I love it, and use it as much online as out in the "real world".

Caught 03-26-2007 07:23 AM

Hm I based my nickname on a drawing I made, just a word that can mean so much; diffrent for everyone I think.

A Simple Poet 03-26-2007 07:42 AM

It means that fate has decreed I shall never be a Poet Laureate. And perhaps (if any of you have read my work) you might agree that's probably a good thing.
