Explain your User Name!

[monolayth]

my name is completely made up. Came to me when i was 16 and in need of a good screen name.

[McGoddess09]

Well, I work at a McD's and it is a running joke at my store to use Mc in front of everything. The Goddess part is because my guy friends tell me I'm pretty,like a goddess. The 09 is my high school graduation year! McGoddess09

[CaroPhoenix]

I love the song "I Drink a Rum" by the singing group, "The Pyrates Royale". It's off their "Live Behind Bars" album.

That, and if you knew my In-Laws and my own family, you'd understand why the sweet seductiveness of rum calls my name every few days.

[Lil Bunny]

Well back in old incarnations of this board I was Shotwench. Mainly because I was a waitress/bartender. Fitting eh?

So I've been out of that for a while. My friends call me Bunny and my old Derby name was Lil Bunny FU. So yah, Lil Bunny.

[Mike Taylor]

It's my name. Simple as that.

[Setsunaela]

Setsuna = Japanese name of my favorite Sailor Senshi from Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon! BUT since most of the places I go to already have that on beyond taken, I added a couple vowels and a consonant, leaving me with a pretty name that flows from the tongue and is reminiscint of an Elvish name.
(I'm very fond of Elvish names for forums, and in fact my other most common name is Melwethwinae, which according to my lovely book, roughly translates to "war-wizard musical whisper" )

Geez, when I was 16 there was no such thing as a screen name...

[worddork]

In high school, was called a drama dork, because I did theater. But at work I was always reading and looking up the origins of words so it changed to word dork. I tend to get lazy when typing so I didn't use the underscore key and just ran the words together. So now I'm worddork.

[monolayth]

well i was born in 1982. lol

[Pony_Boy]

pony boy?

well its an old nickname my ( now ex) girlfriend gave me and it stuck

Same here. I feel old now...

My screen name was the name of my first MMORPG character in the game Asheron's Call. I had it in the open beta, and carried it on through to release and had it reserved on all but two servers. I've just used it everywhere else ever since.

You can probably find me under this name in some form or another (sometimes with _'s instead of spaces, or the words run together, but it's almost always one of the three.



Eric the Grey

[AdminAssistant]

When I signed up I was a Graduate Research Assistant and my supervisor was the Administrative Assistant for a large department in the Business School of that university. So I was an Administrative Assistant's Assistant. But that's just a little ridiculous, so I shortened it.

[Mr. Rager!]

JAM (JuniorMintz) gave it to me. You should ask her about it...

Something about Animal Crossing and a Bear named Stitches...

[Chanlin]

I was first venturing into the realm of the internet at age 13 (internetz for some) and I had to choose a screen name for a chat program at www.nintendo.com when they had a thing called nsider which was videogame related chat

Anyway at the time I had been working on writing a short story/novelette just for fun and the main character's name was Chanlin which I had based off one of my D&D characters of a different name. The character was partly based on me and who I wanted to be in a fantasy sort of way. Ever since then I've been fleshing the idea of the character out and Chanlin has been a persona of mine. I've also frequently used Skyeline and Crystia for MMORPG's which are other characters from the same story.

[lupo pazzesco]

I'm predominantly Italian, and though I don't really speak the language, I know a few bits and pieces. The translation is roughly "crazy wolf" or "psycho wolf". It's a play on me being psycho/crazy and a variation of my last name.

Thus, I'm Lupo Pazzesco.
