Why your name?

fifthtea_sausage · Post by **fifthtea_sausage** » Sat Dec 04, 2004 4:49 am

Why did you pick your name?
What does it mean to you?
What does it mean if it is in another language?
When/how did you come up with it?

I just found this name on MSN where it auto-recommends names for you. Found it kinda funny. Who has sausages with tea, and for that matter, who has FIVE?

Eh.

Neorave · Post by **Neorave** » Sat Dec 04, 2004 5:29 am

Its part of a name of a special move that Rock Howard (Garou: Mark of the Wolves) uses (Neorave Deadly).

Why did pick it? Sounds cool, and sort of original too.

...wait...didnt we already have this topic before?

HvyMtlClickWitch · Post by **HvyMtlClickWitch** » Sat Dec 04, 2004 5:49 am

Right on.

Neorave is a cool freakin' name.

Step One: As the moniker suggests, i am a pagan of sorts.

Step Two: I have been christened "Click Witch" because i have shoes that click when i walk. Not a gay mouse click or nails-on-the-table click, but a really cool metallic click, like when you close your car's glove box.

Step Three: "Heavy Metal Click Witch" sounds badasser than "Click Witch".

That's how it works.

browneyedgirl · Post by **browneyedgirl** » Sat Dec 04, 2004 6:03 am

Because I'm browneyed.
Boring name, I know, but I had to think of something quick.
There are thousands of browneyedgirls on the 'Net.
One I noticed is an expert gamer--IT AIN'T ME!

I like my nick in Koti's forum a bit better(Guinevere)but, its not too imaginative, either. *sigh*

Twilightsymphony · Post by **Twilightsymphony** » Sat Dec 04, 2004 10:17 am

Its this song from Stratovarius as most might have guessed

I thought about changing it.. actually i dont really like it anymore, i want my real nick back.. dunno why i have taken this one... its not really that creative i assume :>

shaz · Post by **shaz** » Sat Dec 04, 2004 10:50 am

Mine is just a word that plopped into my mind, and I originally used it as my IRC-nick, then transferred it here as I registered.
So nothing special, really.

Jaakko · Post by **Jaakko** » Sat Dec 04, 2004 11:41 am

My parents happened to give me this name and although as a kid I found it old-fashioned and stupid I've learned to live with it. Don't like hiding behind nicknames anyway.

Mormegil · Post by **Mormegil** » Sat Dec 04, 2004 1:02 pm

Why did you pick your name?
To respect J.R.R. Tolkien and because the tale Túrin(/Mormegil/Turambar etc...) is my favourite in The Silmarillion. It also sounds quite cool.

What does it mean to you?
Er...
What does it mean if it is in another language?
"Black sword"
When/how did you come up with it?
See question 1.

NordicStorm · Post by **NordicStorm** » Sat Dec 04, 2004 1:39 pm

It's "Nordic" plus the first half of my last name (the half that people can spell). I've had this nick for a few years now.

Spiderman · Post by **Spiderman** » Sat Dec 04, 2004 3:09 pm

Why did you pick your name?:
I wanted the name Spider, because I'm using that one on another forum, but it was already taken. Spider also revers to Spiderman, but with Spider I could change my avater sometimes in something more creative.

What does it mean to you?:
Loved the Spiderman comics when I was a kid and think the movies are awesome.
What does it mean if it is in another language?:
In my language it will be Spinneman. (Dutch)
When/how did you come up with it?:
When I started on the Ayreonforum I wanted to use Gollum, because I had an awesome avater for that. It was already in use, so I made it Spider there because I had an awesome avater for that one to.

I have to change my avater here once, this one is not that great.

Why did you pick your name?

Why....it's just taht i have always like the sun so one day i was searchinga word in the dictionary and I saw this one and..........

What does it mean to you?
A lot.....'cuz sometimes days and nights seen to me like endless....bad thing to me.

What does it mean if it is in another language?

This is what it means. But it is an english word.....in espanish it would be something like this: Equinoccio

1-Either of two points on the celestial sphere at which the ecliptic intersects the celestial equator.
2-Either of the two times during a year when the sun crosses the celestial equator and when the length of day and night are approximately equal; the vernal equinox or the autumnal equinox.

When/how did you come up with it?

So one day i was searching a word in the dictionary and I saw this one and..........It was like 3 years ago.....

So Death May Die · Post by **So Death May Die** » Thu Dec 09, 2004 11:28 pm

So Death May Die is the name of my band. I really like it so I made it my username. Simple as that...

The meaning of the name has to do with eternal life or the idea of life after death.

SkullKrusher · Post by **SkullKrusher** » Fri Dec 10, 2004 4:17 am

my name came from a compilation thrash metal tape but it means much more because headbanging has a sense of freedom to me and because when you grow up in times of war you learn to appreciate freedom

and you learn to krush skulls

well i'm a lebanese(lebanon is near israel and syria) christian which in the middle-east is a minority and we were just getting out of a civil war but the population in lebanon is about 50% lebanese and other 50% is palestinian and syrian and other arabs and in reality there is no peace there is only oppression and people disappear without anyone knowing where they went so you learn to tiptoe around and appreciate freedom

Electric Eye · Post by **Electric Eye** » Tue Dec 21, 2004 12:44 am

Because it's like in this Judas Priest song
Up here in space
I'm looking down on you
My lasers trace
Everything you do

You think you've private lives
Think nothing of the kind
There is no true escape
I'm watching all the time

I'm made of metal
My circuits gleam
I am perpetual
I keep the country clean

I'm elected electric spy
I'm protected electric eye

Always in focus
You can't feel my stare
I zoom into you
You don't know I'm there

I take a pride in probing all your secret moves
My tearless retina takes pictures that can prove

I'm made of metal
My circuits gleam
I am perpetual
I keep the country clean

I'm elected electric spy
I'm protected electric eye

Electric eye, in the sky
Feel my stare, always there
There's nothing you can do about it
Develop and expose
I feed upon your every thought
And so my power grows

I'm made of metal
My circuits gleam
I am perpetual
I keep the country clean

I'm elected electric spy
I'm protected electric eye
I'm elected electric spy
I'm elected protective, detective, Electric Eye!

so watch out!

Good name Electric Eye. And the song is one of my all time favourites.

Cristiane · Post by **Cristiane** » Tue Dec 21, 2004 1:55 pm

I registered here with my name cause by that time I wasn't so used to foruns and I didn't know that I couldn't change it later...
but I like my name... nothing special on it, but I like it.

I want to change it to my nickname Elecktra, it's the koti's forum nickname and I use it since I'm 15.

Beast_Pete · Post by **Beast_Pete** » Fri Dec 24, 2004 3:59 pm

When I played Death Rally, I needed a nickname, not just that boring PET or NIK... so I choose Beast Pete. Why? Because some days before I read some lists of computers, and tha name of one of the configurations was the following: Be(a)st. I found it quite funny. So, when I chose this nick, I wanted a nick like the nicks in Death Rally (Bogota Bill, Mad Mac, Nasty Nick, Greg Peck etc). Hmm, something that's rhymes to Pete... Beast.

Santa is also a variation of Satan.

Hey, is your dog named Satan?
Satan=Natas backward!
But:

Never mind, I'm paranoid......:crazy2:

Also, I'm hungry---gotta go eat XMas lunch!

Stphazek · Post by **Stphazek** » Sat Dec 25, 2004 12:21 pm

Errr... I had a nick in the old forum which (for some reason) i can't use here in the new. That was ingrassare which means "to get fat" in Italian. It just sounded good

The nick i'm using now is my oldest nick on the internet, it is a little bit strained: it is derived from hungarian word "szentfazék" szent means saint, fazék means pot, but the whole word means something like self-righteous or hypocrite. St is saint, phazek is "fazék" written down "in english" for people not knowing how to pronounce it "properly".

Yup, we know about the Satan-Natas thing. I think it's cute.
And our x-mas star is hanging upside down on the wall as well. Nope we dont worship satan.
But Dog-God doesnt work in our languages.
Hund-dnuh=nothing, Koira-Ariok=nothing.
