What does your screen name mean?

[V8Tsunami]

Tsunami is my favorite anime character, but that name was already taken, so I put V8 in front of it because I love cars that have V8's in 'em. (like my T'Bird)

[BigZam]

well for my name i was going for "phantom master" in Japanese (bakemono means phantom and sensei means teacher or master) but i'm not sure if i got the order right.

[jazz]

jazz is the name of one of the characters i played in a drama production awhile ago. for some reason it just stuck, and so i thought hey, it makes a pretty good screen name whenever i need one . it saves me the trouble of having to think up names on the spot.

[Banana-chan]

my sn is just funky! lol and i luv banana's fave fruit you know lol

[chimera189]

mine is the nickname of Seiya Uribatake

[shadowblade]

Mine's a weapon from a Final Fantasy game. I remember it was in Tactics, but I'm not sure about the others.

[Kaligraphic]

I picked this name when I registered on a forum to help someone with some issues of why a particular font didn't look right. I took the word calligraphic (because I rather liked calligraphy and it was relevant), and altered it a little. Now, I am the only Kaligraphic on the web, at least according to google.

Interesting; I had somewhat wondered about your username, and that curiosity has now been sated.

Simmilarly, while Google produces a great many hits for the words "uncreative" and "pseudonym" I have never had any difficulty registering the name on any forum or site.

[Mike_Myers]

Well, when one thinks of Mike Myers, they would have to conciously think of "Austin Powers" (of which my avatar is based on.) He is by far the funniest guy on Saturday Night Live and his movies are all hilarious (Wayne's World \ Austin Powers.)

[Emanku]

I came up with the name "Emanku" a few years ago. Don't know how or why, I just did. After that I started to build a character around the name. Soon I had a golden dragon with a personality similar to my own as the main character in my most successful literary endeavor. It's a novel I'm writing called "Eternal Fire". Anyway, since I invented the name, I could use it for everything from a personal nickname to my e-mail adress (emanku@hotmail.com). By the way, it's pronounced ee-man-koo. I don't know why but a lot of people struggle with that pronunciation. I've heard em-ank-uh too many times.

[Kat Walker]

Well you see, it's a very very long story. But since you asked so nicely I'll tell you.....

because its my name.

Seriously however, my full name is Kathleen (often confused with Katharine, Katarina, Katrina, Katia, Catalina, and even Kimberly at times) and "Kat" is a derivative of that. Contrary to popular belief, it has absolutely nothing to do with an obsessive adoration for cats, which I am highly allergic to.

I sometimes parade around with a Latin pseudonym (Mare Aeternitas) because I enjoy the language, but other than that I see no need to strain myself coming up with a bizarre internet alias. And I like my name, it's kind of interesting. It makes me think of a fiesty female news reporter from the early 30's and 40's. Think Polly Perkins from "Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow".

[CreatureArt]

Contrary to popular belief, it has absolutely nothing to do with an obsessive adoration for cats, which I am highly allergic to.

ROFL. Nice - I'm allergic to cats, but not so badly. I do love them, though.

Creature Art... it's a bit self-explanatory, but I'll elaborate anyway. I draw random crazy creatures that are not always even somewhat based on laws of nature (*points down*) - I mean, one doesn't even have a nose or ear openings!

[YoukoKurama]

Youko=side and Kurama=kept horse. So I guess my s.n. means side kept horse.

[Doubleshadow]

I chose Doubleshadow because for most of my life I had no friends, and I was comforted by the fact the Christ is with me no matter what. He's always there. The shadow comes in because when two people are together, there are two shadows, one for each of them. Now, obviously Jesus' shadow isn't there, but it might as well be because He's right here anyhow. The name Doubleshadow reminds me that I am never alone. (Love my Savior )

[YoukoKurama]

That's a good reason to choose that as a name.

[agasfas]

I wonder if anyone tried to guess how I came up with mine....
agasfas
Well to be honest there is no meaning behind it. All the letters are on the left side of the keyboard -- all on the same row. That way i only use one hand without having to lift it.

[uc pseudonym]

To answer your question, yes, I did consider what your username might mean, though I hardly lost sleep over it. Now I know.

I agree, that is a good choice of a username. In the future I will look at it differently.

[wolfs_rain_hige]

mine is, well, shows that i like hige from wolfs rain (duh!) i took a quiz though and found out im more like Tsume

Good reason. Very nice.

I thought I had a screen name no one else would take, but there seems to be another out there somewhere. Either that or I've register twice in a couple of places.

[mastersquirrel]

What does my screen name mean?
It is a warning from the future... Squirrels are trying to take over the world unless we do something now!!!
(Really I just thought that it sounded like a good, goofy name. I use it everywhere now.)

[Tofu]

When I was 16, I wanted to have a band and call it Tofu Juice. Where that came from, I don't really know, I just made it up one day. After that, I made Tofu_Juice my name on Battle.net for StarCraft, and since then it's been my name!
Until recently! I needed a change, so my AIM name is now Tofu Impact (after Momo/Edo Impact, an aquaintance of mine). Most people just call me Tofu... I was UBER pleased to be able to have straight Tofu on this board ^_^

[Maledicte]

hee hee...my name comes from a sidekick character a friend and I made up for the Greatest Superhero of All Time, WEDGIEMAN! (dun da daaa)

[Joshua Christopher]

"Impact Alberto" was my favourite villain from my favourite anime, Giant Robo.

I mostly just go by "vorx", which is short for "vortekks".

[Arnobius]

I got dubbed a heretic during an anime flame war when I said certain famous anime titles like Akira were overrated and only famous because they were different from American cartoons. During the exchange, he said anime was his religion, so I said, if anime is a religion, then call me the "Anime Heretic." I decided to use it as a handle on anime forums, and shortened it to AnimeHeretic for style reasons.

[Shadowchild]

mine is who i am. a child of the shadow. simple. ^-^

[kazekami]

Mine is to remind me that I can make mistakes. Once at 3 am after slaving on my many Universtiy papers, and being exhausted but talking to a friend online I was talking about kamikaze kaitou jeanne. But I accidently said kazekami. Sleep depervation is real fun. heh.

[kaibrightwing]

Well kai was my nickname at school it means in hawaiian ocean and japanese it means to meet. brightwing was a last name of a character from one of my stories so one of my new characters was named kai brightwing and became my second name online.

[the_lizardqueen]

Wooow, there's some deep reasons behind some of the usernames round here. I'm afraid my own reasons are rather goofy

Phew, this is my third time explaining the story behind my username. Basically, I was inspired by a Simpsons' episode in which Lisa is dared to drink some seriously iffy looking water on a 'It's a Small World' parody ride at Duffland, a Disneyland spoof. She then goes on a trippy delusional rampage that culiminates in her being drug out of a park fountain howling 'I am the LIZARD QUEEEEN!!!'

Eh, I thought it was funny. There was also the whole Jim Morrison/'I am the Lizard King' bit back in the 60s/70s. I like the Simpsons, I like insane humor and I like reptiles and dragons. And the self created characters that I'm most fond of are lizards. So I guess it makes sense..

Ah, that's one of my favourite Simpson episodes. The part where Homer gets better after watching that questionable Hercules movie and says to Marge. "Homercles cares not beans!" That phrase has entered my basic phrases and sometimes I'd say "Bigsleepcles cares not for <enter subject>" And I can't help but smile when I think about that gross sandwhich.

[Swordguy]

mine means food.......





<<>>.....


ok so it doesn't mean food....i jsut happen to like swords...but i think i posted it once before...i also like the idea of weilding the sword mentioned in heb 4:12
