Screen Names.

[Pathogen.]

To save myself the trouble of retyping it all, you can find out the origin of my online name by clicking on to: http://www.mygoth.com/index.php?showtopic=1688&st=0

By the way, Roserougegang, where did your online name come from?
Enquiring minds want to know.

[Demonista_Ravenesque]

Her name is grammatically incorrect.

But I think it's an attempt at Blood Red Rose.

[Morrigan_Dubh]

I got the idea that "Rose Rouge sang" was a phrase from a poem or something...

"And when Rose Rouge sang, everybody listened,
and felt themselves moved a great distance,
from the sturm and drang
and the painful pangs of their empty existence".

Why thank you, sir.

My second favorite character is Ludo. (I said bruno what the fuck mate?!)

Morrigan_Dubh: Can I ask you how you pronounce the "Dubh" part of your moniker? It's just that it seems very similar to the Welsh word for black - 'ddu' (pronounced 'thee').

Nosy as ever, that's me.

Oooh, I love it. And yay, I love it when I inspire things.

[bjork_freak]

Sometimes I feel the name I chose is a tad cliché.

[aspendeath]

I had a habit around two years ago (when I created this account) for mixing something morbid with something John Denver-related (most notably Aspen) to create a username.

My favorites are my Xanga and *********** names, darknessoveraspen and starwoodinhell, respectively.

[Cicero]

Finally I know what "Xnguela" is! However even if it is a code, is there a way of pronouncing it? Because reading it makes brings my pronunciation brain cells to the brink of suicide, especially since I have that terrible habit of reading everything out loud to myself.

My own name is taken from the Sex Gang Children song "Arms of Cicero" (as I mentioned in my intro thread). The song is of great meaning to me, and Cicero has a nice flow to it. It's even gone as far as some friends calling me by it instead of my real name. It isn't so much a reference to the Roman Consul as I was never too fond of him, although he certainly did some good things for Rome.

[Sanctus Dei]

I'd say Zen-GOO-lah. At least that's how I perceive it.

[DarkIce]

I have a confession to make: when I got my login for the boards I kind of was in a hurry. So I simply named myself DarkIce. There´s no story primarily behind this. Also I might add, that I love ice in my Long Island Ice Tea *har-har* But after googling for a pic (avatar) I wrote my intro (see the Titanic thing there) and all suddenly made sense.

Now that's interesting, 'cause I was going with Zen-GWELL-a (although I was still thinking about the Zen bit, to be honest).

Sorry, Xng, hope you don't mind us discussing your name....? How do you say it?

[Magpie_Tendencies]

I think that it's pronounced "Zing-gway-lah" - there's been discussions about it before.

Someone was talking about the correct pronounciation in the Randomness thread yesterday.

[spookypurple]

Oops. Sorry. My bad.

[Oubliette]

well I think we all probably pronounce it differently based on our regional accents.

I pronounce it (in my head primarily) as zing-well-la


**edit actually I take that back...it probably is 'way' and not 'well' because there isn't two l's

[Crom Crauch]

Screen name here... well, I stole the name of my god for it...
oh yeah, it's pronounced Krom Kra-ush...

Of course you can ask
It's pronounced the same as the English word "Dove". Although that can change depending on the region - in the north of Ireland it's pronounced "Doo". And it would be similar to Welsh, as they are both Celtic languages.

to know what book ur name was from.because it sounds like a good book

[Cyntrox]

Go make an intro, newbie! And use proper grammar.

[noveleigh]

I picked noveleigh for 3 reasons.

1) Novel was chosen as an adjective because I am a little bit unusual in ways.
2) Novel as a noun because I love to read.
3) Leigh because it's my nickname as well as my middle name.

[Jonathan]

Credit where it is due, my parents are the ones who came up with it.

[Kaali]

Kaali is the Indian goddess of darkness/night. It's nothing too personal. I just wanted a name I could relate to.

[MollyMac]

Old roller derby/soccer name. a Mispronounciation of my childhood nickname

[gothicbarbie]

I came up with the name gothicbarbie due to the fact I act hella girly yet darkness and all things goth intrigue me....^_^

I'm like elvira.....minus the big breastesses. ahaha.

So yeah....gothic barbie...LOL.
