How did you choose your screen name?

[Seeker]

If this has already been done, then I am sorry. I searched but could not find it on the forum. But,

What is the story behind how each of you chose your screen names?
I'll go first.


Well, like so many of you, I am a seeker so...

Seeker

I know it sounds corny, but I like it and it strike a chord within my soul.... :)

[A Lost Soul]

Well, I wanted something profound and thought provoking, yet somewhat descriptive of myself. So I came up with A Lost Soul. I'm a wandering soul, searching for the answers to Life, the Universe, and Everything. And anyone who knows me will tell you that I have no sense of direction whatsoever...

[wasup]

I don't think there is much significance... in my screenname...

[hysteria]

Paperdoll EP....what do you think? :lol:

[wasup]

I still have know idea what your screen name means ep doll paper

[hysteria]

:roll: take a good look at this:

[wasup]

Is that like the title of the cd??????

[Second Attention]

The Second Attention is the... well, I shall deem a "state of awareness". So the Second Attention is the "state of awareness" that Carlos writes about in his books. It encompasses the dream world, and some other things. Dreaming is just one way to "reach the Second Attention". The Second Attention can be accessed by dreaming, but not all dreams take place in the Second Attention(unless your Serinanth :D ). It is the "Other", it is the "astral plane", it is the access to the "other worlds", it is the gateway to "other universes". Does anyone need a better definition? I can go all in depth, but I would need my book.

[jill1978]

my name and birth year...so generic

[Serinanth]

Its my name =)

My given name is Evan but Serinanth is MY name.

It has dragonic roots with the Th ending, took a while to find it though... metamorphosed from a few things, I used to go by Bahamut, but once final fantasy 3 came out that was the end of that there were bahamuts all over I couldent deal with that,
So I took on the name Silanth it didnt sit right with me.

I read about the different sephiroths, no not the game character.. and the seraphim angels and such and

Serinanth was the end result of all those elements.

[Tim]

Tim is my name...

[Rtex]

So heres how it goes,
I have 3 stories that make my sn very special to me, so try not to laugh at them

First one, Rtex is a word I made up, it is my word, I have used it in everthing. It is the one word that embodies all I want/need/am/will be/have been as a person (short and simple right)

second, My middle initial is R and I live in Texas, so R Tex Rtex,

Third, When I was about 8 I saw a cartoon show Called road rovers, and my favorite character's name was rtex, and so from then on, it was my nick name, but a few years later, I saw the same show, To my EXTREME dismay I found that his name was indeed NOT rtex, but Xile. I was soooooooo depressed. Because to a 10 year old, losing your favorite superhero is right up there with missing snack time. So, I eventually went on with life. How I got Rtex from Xile is beyond me.

well, there it is.

[hysteria]

cute! ^o^

[Tim]

hey, at least you get the cool nickname without all the copyright laws!

[DreamCoil]

Lets see, I like dreams, thats the Dream part, and I was listening to alot of Lacuna Coil at the time so... Dream plus Coil, well you get the idea.

[evangel]

Evangel is the Greek word for "Good News" in the New Testament. I'm not sure if the word angel is in any way connected, but angels are often the messengers of good (and sometimes bad) news) -the good news being, more specifically, that one has come as a light into this world as redeemer, savior, healer, King, and the Alpha and the Omega (among many other titles... sorry I'm just in love with Him so I can get preachy (maybe that's why I didn't choose "Evangelist" instead :D )

[Scott0302]

My name is Scott and the 0302 is my birthday, march 2nd.

[icedawg]

well, ya see, i took the word "ice" and then the (fictional) word "dawg" and put them together. where it gets REALLY clever is that it could have been spelt "dog," but no, i spelt it "dawg." interesting eh? :roll:

[hysteria]

yes, very interesting algidhound.. :shock:

[Rakkantekimusouka]

<~~ Look at my subtitle; even if I change my name, my subtitle will always be a translation of it.

Anyway, how I came up with it is, I wanted a name that would be positive and pertinent to the board.

[InTheMoment]

I'm an old school party kid that has expiremented with about every non-prescription drug out there (LSD & E being my fav.)...and during those years I would always try my damnest to lose my mind and sense of reality by gobbling up what ever narcotics I could get my compulsive little hands on.

There was always this moment during my "high" that I felt like time and everything else had slowed down and started revolving around me...I tried to describe this sensation to my peers at the time and the only way I could put those feelings into words was to say that I was "in the moment."

I rarely partake in any form of habituates nowadays, which is why I'm trying to improve upon my LDs...besides LDs are healthier and there is a lesser chance that the authorities will break into your house and arrest you. :whyme:

[Alex D]

Well my name should really Xander, but Alex D sounds cooler, plus Alexander can be Xander or Alex. :P

[Hate]

Originally posted by A Lost Soul

Hehe, you've read some Douglas Adams, haven't you?

Anyway, here's my story. My screenname is just one of my nicknames. It doesn't really mean the English word "hate", actually it doesn't mean anything. It's just made up from my real name, and you're meant to pronounce it a bit like "hot eh", not like the word "hate"

[Stalker]

Well, I needed a good nick to use for forums, playing and such and so I decided on this. The thoughts behind it has been lost in time but it was not because of the movie.

"Sun Oct 26, 2003". Looks like I just barely missed this the first time around.

[OpheliaBlue]

3 cheers for topic revivals.

I like the name, Ophelia, from the Shakespeare play Hamlet. Pretty name.

And blue is my favourite colour.

The funny thing, and I didn't know this before, but John William Waterhouse did a painting called "Blue Ophelia," based on the same tragic suicidal heroine:

http://www.artland.co.uk/1_Blue_Ophelia_SA127_P.JPG

~John William Waterhouse was born in Italy in 1849. His early work was influenced by Alma-Tadema, and later he became associated with the pre-Raphaelites. He devoted a lot of his time to classical subjects and the ‘Femmes fatales’ of literature, his paintings were mainly of women, where as men were usually depicted as victims. Waterhouse died in London in 1917.

[wasup]

Mine is deep... hard to explain.

[irishcream]

mine's quite simple.
favourite tipple is Baileys' Irish Cream.
boring really...

[sitboy]

mine is based on the tv show Inuyasha. Also I amde a theard like this, but who cares.

[voidofform]

'Twas in another lifetime, one of toil and blood
When blackness was a virtue and the road was full of mud
I came in from the wilderness, a creature void of form.
"Come in," she said,
"I'll give you shelter from the storm."

Bob Dylan - Shelter From The Storm.

[tryagain]

tryagain... It seems like I see this word a lot when I'm playing games, so I stuck with it

[pinkcheese]

...it was a dark and stormy night.
I was sitting at the computer, signing up for a website, when suddenly:
Please create a username.
OH THE HORROR!
So I thought for a while, and thinking of nothing out of the ordinary, my short attention span began to wander...hmm...pink flamingo pen...where'd the heck that come from...oh yeah, screen names...hm...so hungry...wonder if we have any cheese dip left..
And then it was born.
However, I just tell most people I was being stupid. :P

[Clairity]

Clairity is a blending of the name "Claire" and the command "Clarity Now".

I swear I can hardly sleep for everyone shouting my name all night! :lol: and the things I've seen you all do! :oops:

[Peregrinus]

Peregrinus is Latin for "wanderer" and runs less risk of being interpreted as a falcon than if I used my actual name. A famous author with a penchant for pointy hats once wrote "All who wander are not lost." He was right.

[Barbizzle]

OK, this is odd, i posted here yesterday, but my messgee isnt here....

my name came form my last name. its simmialr, and so someitmes my firneds call me this as a joke thingy. Its also from my aim screen name.

[Placebo]

Because many of the hobbies I have, LDing included, involve issues of the subconscious and psychosomatic effects. Placebo being the most notable and problematic sometimes.

[Gwendolyn]

My screen name is just my name....Alas, I wish I had been more creative. I wanted the name "Gwen" which is what I go by, but it seems it had already been taken...So, I figured my full name would have to suffice.

[oraia_oneira]

oraia oneira = greek words, meaning, beautiful/good dreams :wink:

[SleepingHuman]

Pretty self explanatory, but it's also somewhat of a parallel description of my current state of mind.

[nightowl]

when i was little i used to stay up extremely late and so i thought of the expression "nightowl" and liked how it sounded and what it meant to me and described me. To this day i stay awake untill 11:30 to 12:30 or maybe 1 everyday(yes on school days to) and i'd have to wake up at 6 the next day.

For some reason i just CAN'T go to sleep early. I find myself incapable of doing that. If i try i just stay awake in my bed untill the time i usually go to bed. Anyway i blame it on my heritage. Brasilians like to stay up late and be late to everything. so yeah...:)

[jacobo]

wow, a relic.

all day i dream about stroppes.

[SmartAznTiger]

I like tigers, and tigers r from Asia, NOT africa, and tigers r smart. Oh, and I'm Asian. :)

:shock: That's weird.. just as I was about to post this, I noticed Peregrinus' sig... :shock:
Looks like we have several DNA fans here...

[Yume]

Yume Kotoarashiku means dream again in Japanese. It seemed appropriate for this site even though I normally go under the alias Alero Ravenlocke. Oldsmobile stole it from me. I had that name since I was 7.

[Amethyst Star]

I'm suprised I haven't posted in this, yet. (1:30am, yep, there's time)

Anyway, back in the day when The Zone (before it was owned by microsoft, or something) was still young I was trying to think of a bunch of screen names I could use. I used to play a game called Tanarus (which totally rocked!) and as I was creating names (about 10 of them), I decided to try combining words together. I decided to use gems and then take the last two letters of the word and attatch on a word that had the same two letters. Sapphireyes, Emeraldays, Jadelude, and more, including Amethystar.

"And now for the rest of the story..."

-Amé

[Lateralus]

Lateralus

I got the name from one of my favorite songs by a band called Tool. The meaning behind that is lateral thinking, expanding the mind, and turning ideas into reality. I thought this would be a kickass nickname to have, especially for a forum like this.

[Haz]

Elemantary mine is.

[Barbizzle]

well, my last name is barbato, and so oen day my finrd just was joking aournd and cllaed me barbizzle, and the rest is history.

[nesgirl119]

At one time, my screen name was actually gamegirl119, but too much spam was sent to me, so I changed it to nesgirl119. NES is short for Nintendo Entertainment System(Now it is just seems to be abbreviated for Nintendo), & of course, I am a girl. This is b/c I am a very big fan of Video Games, especially those made from Nintendo(I suppose you all know that by now!). The 119 is actually the big day of the year I go & party w/my friends! The real day is 11-9, but I am a bit paranoid about someone attacking me then (it has happened b4), so I just keep it 119. :D

[rolandgunslinger]

My screen name comes from a series of books by Stephen king.

The Dark Tower

The main characters name is Roland Deschaine. Hims a gunslinger. :D

[Gargen]

i just threw letters together, it sounds kinda cool and sort of evil, i think

[OpheliaBlue]

Originally posted by Gargen

I was wondering that! I really like your sn, reminds me of a cross between the Greek Gorgons, and the Gorgonites from that movie "Small Soldiers."

My favorite gorgonite was Archer, and I just found out that the actor who did his voice was Frank Langella!!! Cool, he played Count Dracula in the 1979 Jodn Badham classic, as well as on broadway:

[MSG]

I have been using this username for years, and dreamviews is to date the most frequently visited forum of mine. I love you guys you are all so sweeeeeeeeeeeeet

okay enough add back the name

I made a shirt that says "pOOp" on it and i wear it alot.

I can say "pOOp" in the most traumatizing, loud, obnoxoius manner so that everybody looks at me

I like to scream it in public places the most

Once on top of supreme scream I shouted "pOOp" and everybody sorta turned their heads and there was murmur and then AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH *bounce* AHHHHHHhhhh *bounce* aahhh *bounce* wtf *bounce*

Next visit i plan to say "oh baby" in a sexy voice...

[moon_spider]

The lyrics 'and the spiders from mars' from david bowies ziggy stardust came to mind when I was thinking of a screen name, and the moon represents mystery etc etc and spiders exude a certain aura of creepyness (which i suppose i do as well) hence moon spider.

[Jammy]

The alias Jammy comes from my times with "Braking". where we jammed. It also has Jam in it which is "Jam". Jam is sweet, jamming is improvisation. And together its Jammy.

[Colour_My_World]

Colour My World is a good song by Chicago :)

[TheDigitalNomad]

My username has a variety of meanings to me.

First of all, I created it to be synonymous with the phrase "web surfer". I do not surf, therefore I cannot be a sufer ;P Rather, I wander -- thus, I am a digital nomad.

However, the "Nomad" part comes from a song, oddly enough titled "Nomad", from the death/thrash metal group Sepultura. As oppressed and in poverty the people of Brazil are, Sepultura managed to become a pretty well known thoughout the world, especially as early as the band's history spans. The early 80's were not the greatest times for the peoples of Brazil, and the raw emotion of Sepultura's "tribal rock" reflects that very greatly. So, in a way, "Nomad" is my symbol of respect for the greatness that is Sepultura. ;P

I normally just go by Nomad online, so any of you can use that instead of my full username. :)

[Middlerun]

"Middle run" is alcohol distilling terminology. I make moonshine, and when you are distilling, the product comes in several stages. First comes the foreshots which is poisonous methanol. Then the heads which is alcoholic but quite sweet, used for liquers. Then comes the middle run (or hearts), which is the good, clean stuff (ethanol). Then comes the tails which is the bad tasting crap. So when I was signing up for a Gmail account I needed a new username and I thought of Middlerun - i.e. good stuff surrounded by crappy stuff. :lol:

[Aquanina]

ask Howetzer :D

[Fetish]

I just picked what the voices in my head told me too

[Cole5250]

My 1st name plus my address. I know, pretty lame.

[Placebo]

The devil spoke to me
*watches Leo twitching in the corner... :D *

[CryoDragoon]

i stole it from someone else, :evil:
he doesn't use it very often, and he doesn't give a sh*t about LD'ing, so he would NEVER come to this forum, where he would find his screenname stolen by me, SOOO he wouldn't come to assassinate me...

[:D]

Lol....My name...um.....I love you using the face ' : D' ....hence my name. Lol. I like my name.....I don't know why I chose it...but Im happy with it....:]

The books are interesting and a good read, but you do know carlos castaneda has been "debunked", right? Anyway, I guess that doesn't apply to the terminology. But he did lie about alot of things that supposedly happened. There are better, real refferences.

Lol, I like that one.


My name has double meaning "the mind's eye" and "The Mind Is I"
The first meaning I examine from the eye's in my mind, not the eye's polluted by society. The second because your mind is really all you have. Your brain filters reality and every sensory input you have and will ever have, I am my Mind and my Mind is I.

[Awaken4e1]

I was given a glimpse of my true self in an encounter with the Father, and I knew I always been awakened in the Spirit, so I am Awaken (for ever one) thus Awaken4e1

[mistikal]

My name was figured out with the help of my husband. Firstly, I'm very ticklish... and mistikal came about by combining the words "miss tickle". ;)

[O-Nieronaut]

I never realy bothered to check beforehand, but I figured "Onieronaut" would have already been taken, and I was right! So I gave it an Irish spin, being of Irish descent and all. :mrgreen:

[dreamtamer007]

Didn’t have much control in waking life, so I thought I’d give this a shot.

[Rakkantekimusouka]

I chose Muhjah because it means "Heart's Blood", which was the name of a dragon in a fantasy trilogy I read a long time ago; and Mink, my avatar (and sometimes sig), is a dragon half.

i think its better than my first sn : adidasman10 i got that one because i have an adidas tattoo on my arm so ppl called me adidasman. and at the time i only had 10 tattoos

[dianatastic!]

My screen name is simply my real name. With a -tastic attached to it. And an exclamation point.
Because I love exclamation points.
:!: :!: :!:
See?!?

[TheTruth]

I got mine from GTA San Andreas. The guy called the TheTruth is cool with the hair and the weed and the whole hippie thing he has goin. And its my handle on every forum.

[eXistenZ]

I was inspired by a movie that I saw years ago: "eXistenZ" by David Cronenberg. It was about virtual realities created in our minds. People entered dreamy-like worlds by connecting to a biological device, a creature named "Gamepod".

eXistenZ

[Oneironaut]

I chose mine the day I first heard the word Oneironaut, and I was surprised that it was available when I registered under it. I'm thinking about changing it soon, though. Just not sure as to what.

[Ynot]

Ynot
prouncounced "why not"
my name backwards
used as a stage name / screen name / graf tag

[Dangeruss]

It was a toss-up between Danger-Russ and Cantanker-Russ. Since I usually tell people my middle name is "Danger" when they ask, and put myself in danger just for the hell of it, i felt the former was more appropriate.

[Rakkantekimusouka]

Glad you chose Danger, russ. :P With the hyphen, "Cantanker" would have really stood out, and reminded me of "cankersore" whenever I saw it. :eek:

[justme]

justme doesnt mean

"oh im a preppy little cheerleader who has to be me! even though im really fake! i have to be me! Justme!"

hell no... it means this

[Gezus]

People in ski school would ask me my name, I wouldn't wanna answer so I'd say something corny like Mr.Smith. At some point I said Jesus. That became my nick. Then it evolved into Gezus so that I can be special. Although that's only over the internet, my actual nickname is G, or Gspot in some cases.

[Distant Clone]

I have a twin brother and at college one of my friends kept referring to us as clones, not twins. Actually he called me the evil clone, but when i registered a new interweb address for mail, evilclone was already taken. So I thought about what else I was, how I was different from my twin. I realized everyone else kept clumping me together with him, while I wanted to separate from him. So I thought about it, and realized while I was thinking, my thoughts were really out there, in a disconnected out of touch with the rest of society way. I searched several expressions in a Thesaurus to capture that, and I decided on distant.

So DistantClone means "twin that thinks much differently".

[jaded]

If id joined DV before i became personal slave to a hyper intelligent two year old gremlin i may have been called Beneficent or intunewivlife, or happycrumpet , but no sleep, no time, no identity - jaded is how i feel man.

Originally posted by jaded

Bahahahaha! I don't know why, but the name "happycrumpet" is really funny. You should totally have picked that instead.

As for my name, it is the name of my favorite person in the world with the number 75 on the end because that's the number I always use! Sometimes I also go by Shadowmaster75. It doesn't have any real meaning, but it does make me sound cool... Also, I occasionally go by Maximum, a nickname given to me by a cousin that describes my awsomeness.

[Alucinor Architecton]

my sn is "dream architect" in latin. so thats why i choes it. it sounds really cool if i do say so myself.

[PhowaBoy]

Phowa or Powa (pronounced poe-a) is an ancient Buddhist practice of the transference of consciousness. I've been attempting to use dream yoga to explore the mind and consciousness.

At the time I was craving a Cajun shrimp Po-boy sandwich. And there you have it.

[eXistenZ]

Thanks to korothism (another member of DV) I discovered why my screen name "eXistenZ" has X and Z in capital letters: "isten" in Hungarian means "God".
The producers of the movie "eXistenZ" from which I took the name were Hungarian.

I didnt' know it. So, now I know what I'm using as screen name :wink:

Smokeblender ;D

Guess what I was doing at the time when I came up with that :mrgreen:

[Krrish]

In your lucid dream you are the controller of the universe. You are the god. My name is "Unni Krishnan Koroth". My dreaming world has the law set by me. I love to call it by the name "Korothism". 8)

[DreamLobster]

Usually most every forums/message board I go to I choose the name SuperLobster. The name is about 7 years old and was created by myself. Not that nobody has never muttered something like that ever, but it was kind of the creation of this ultimate, untouchable, undefeatable, silly icon. It's to the point that whenever I am with someone and they see something lobster related, they have to show me. I have also gotten many lobster-themed knick-knacks over the years as well.

Coming to this site, I thought it would be more appropriate to make it somehow dream related, so I just changed Super to Dream. :mrgreen:

[Universal Mind]

I first came here looking for information and interesting conversations about lucid dreaming. I had spent so much time arguing politics with rabidly shrill balls of hatred who only understand hostility and insults, and I came here for a place to chill out and talk about really far out things with people who would be wanting to get along and do the same. I chose "Universal Mind" because that is an Eastern concept that has fascinated me for a while. It refers to the single consciousness that all individual forms of consciousness are manifestations of. In a broader sense, it is the consciousness of existence itself. I thought such a name would be appropriate for conversations about consciousness and theories on what consciousness is and what its possibilities are. Interestingly, although I am getting more into lucid dreaming than ever, I feel like I have learned the meat of what I came here to learn, so I spend most of my time here in the philosophy and religion/spirituality forums arguing with jerky people and making fun of them for being ridiculous assholes. At this point, it seems like I might as well change my screen name to "Screw you, you evasive and hypocritical liar!" and make my sig line something that makes fun of Jesus. I am not on the road I started out on here. It's kind of like drug addicts who go to rehab and end up with nothing but more connections.

[eXistenZ]

Some forums are more toughly debated.
On the contrary, the research forum is (too) quite and I think that in that forum there is the opportunity to discuss about lucid dreaming in a calm and "scientific" way. Not in the sense that spiritual or philosophical views are discarded, but in the sense that one is pushed to think on how to prove what s/he saying and ideas are debated, not persons.

I agree that most people just prefer to hang around and talk about topics which are totally unrelated with dreams (I often put myself in this category too...), but I think it's normal for large communities.

By the way, I'm going far from the topic about screen name choice (confirming what I'm saying) :)

eXistenZ

[akasha_aurora]

I broke up with an abusive boyfriend that I had been living with for years... I was starting a new life for myself and rediscovering who I am and what I want... and I needed a new name for my online journal.

Akasha Aurora means "Dawn of the Spirt" (or "spirit dawn" if you wanna do a litteral translation) which is exacly where I am right now. My spirit/true self is starting a new day and therefore has unlimited choices/possibilities before it/me.

:oops: I just realized how this idea I've had for months now does NOT translate well into proper/coherant sentance structure. I think you'll know what I mean though. :)

[gameover]

Originally chosen because it's the name of an Ozma song but also I spent the better half of 10 years playing nintendo, so it still fits.

[Wezel]

My real name is Wessel (perfect rhyme with vessel), and I used to be a big fan of the I.M. Weasel TV series. So, on the internet I called myself Weasel (due to the similarities with my own name of course), which after a short while changed into it's Dutch equivalent Wezel (way·zull)

[kafine]

Kafine is my all the time nickname, not just for the internet. It came out of my real name, Katherine, due to a freind lisping her THs... or something. I can't really remember exactly how it mutated from there, it was back in 1998.

I get asked a lot if it's something to do with caffeine. It isn't. :P

[Forsaken Exposition]

Well.... I have a band. So, being as we couldn't come up with a name, we decided to start throwing random words together. First off, I just flipped the dictionary open, found Exposition ( Which is usually the beginning into something, usually a part in music) And at the time I was playing a game and the level I was on had the word Forsaken. So, Im a "Beggining which should not have been...."

Well, not really. I just thought the two words sounded cool :D

[Vex Kitten]

Mine came from an im convo with someone who said they would bend me and break me and make me their sex kitten.

I responded...a vex kitten maybe...but sex kitten...no way.

I thought it sounded kind of cute...so decided i'd use it next time I needed a user name.

[carrathanatos]

Cara means "beloved" in Italian, and "friend" in Irish... and "Thanatos" is Greek for death.

So, It either means beloved of death or friend of death... I like the former. ^-^

[Tsen]

WOW. That bites. I'd been writing a long reply after I noticed I hadn't posted here yet, and I totally just deleted the whole thing on accident.

I really don't feel like typing it ALL out again, so here's the short version.

When I was a not-so-mentally-stable teenager (like we all are at some point) I had a minor brush with both MPD (Multiple personality disorder) and schizophrenia. More schizo than MPD, but MPD's the one that the name came from. Either way, I got over all that a few years ago.

Basically, I had two personalities, which I'd named Seru and Tsenru. Seru was the dominant one, and sort of a jackass. Basically, Seru was the antisocial bit of me. The name Seru came from a lot of random letters I'd written, and I sort of took a liking to it. I was really obsessed with the originality of it for a while, and when I found out Seru was already used as a name for a video game character, I was sort of devastated. A while later, I got out of the depressed-teenager bit and decided to adopt the nickname Tsenru, the more social and likeable part of me, to remind me of how I'd left the old me behind. I dropped the -ru suffix, though, since in the height of my mental instability I'd decided that the -ru's on the end of my nicknames denoted royalty or power or something, and I found that part of me really creepy afterwards, so I got rid of the -ru to further remind me that I'm leaving that all behind. I still use Tsenru every once in a while as a screen name, mostly when Tsen's already taken (Apparently it's a Korean name that's moderately common), or when there's a minimum character limit higher than 4.

Therefore, we wind up with Tsen. Pronunciation is like Blitzen, without the "Bli" or like Zen with a harder syllable out front.

[Led]

well, I was at the create a profile thingy and I had to put in a name I thought of a bunch of sh---not so good ones. After a while I settled on Ledzeppelin. There was never any incedint of any misspelling of my name ever. Honest.

[Rakkantekimusouka]

Just PM Seeker, Led-Z. :goodjob2:

[Leelu]

Well, when I got an email adress a few years ago, it was Lillihawk (short version of my name).

Then I watched the fifth element with my friend a few months later.

And a few more months later, the name stuck. Also, I dyed my hair red.

'Sbeen 3 years now. Yep.

Though I think I prefer Lillihawk now. Maybe in a few MORE months I'll PM Seeker. Then vow
never to ask for a nickname change ever again.

I've seen the movie 131 times, seen the stage play once and plan to go again soon, I've read the Leroux novel more than once, I'm going to read the Susan Kay novel, I've seen the Lon Chaney 1920's film, and I"m talking too much aren't I?

although i couldn't say i'm much of a phantom-phan, i do have an interesting story about the phantom . . .

last halloween, the church i attend had a screening of the 1920s lon chaney film (which was pretty cool, and the only phantom thing i've ever seen), with live accompaniment by our church organist. in the middle of the show, this guy (who doesn't go to our church; in fact, no one there had ever seen him before) walks down the aisle to the back of the narthex and moves the cross into the one beam of light that's coming through the window, and kneels before it for a little while. people think it's kinda weird, but no one really does anything. later, we hear splashing sounds coming from behind us. so we turn around and he is at the bowl of holy water, drinking out of it, splashing it on his head, etc. so somebody goes back and quietly says, "this is holy water, you know." he says, "i know!" she says, "we've got a drinking fountain in the hall." he says, "don't question me!! i need it!!" so a couple guys from the church go back to talk to him. one of them says something, to which the guy responds, LOUDLY, "I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM! WHAT'S YOUR PROBLEM?!?" they get him out of the sanctuary into the lobby, and eventually (i'm not really sure how) out of the church onto the street. meanwhile, another member of the congregation called the cops. after he had given the cops a description of the guy, they said something like, "oh yeah, he's been to a few different churches this evening doing the same kind of thing . . . " so they came by and picked him up off the street. we never really found out what happened to him after that.

so this doesn't have anything to do with my screen name, but it is a weird story that has to do slightly with Phantom of the Opera. afterwards, our priest wouldn't really comment on if she thought the holy water bowl was defiled and needed to be blessed/exorcised/re-dedicated or whatever (i don't really know what they do), but she said she would DEFINITELY wash it . . . :pope:

Pyrhho was an ancient greek philosopher dude, so is considered to have founded the philosophical skepticism. Hence why it's called pyrhhonism.

If you want some more info on skepticism (like an explanation) check
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philosophical_skeptic

But I got the idea to name myself after an obscure philosopher from "Ender's Game" by Orson Scott Card. Because the kids pick philosopher names to influence politics (e.g., Demosthenes). And, really.. I have never had to add numbers, or anything else to my name, no matter what website I sign up for, because no one else is ever called pyrhho.

Orb - Sis - Lee

[Valvo]

I happened to have been named by a Dream Character. It's the first dream listed in my Dream Journal. Anyways, I woke up in a bodybag and struggled to get out. When I did, four other people were shocked to find out I was alive. One of them said, "Valvo are you O.K.?". The others were worried too. Then through a paned window two slim figures who looked like the grey aliens from the movies where knocking at the door. That's when I found out we were really aliens in disguise as humans. Anyways, it was a crazy dream and I decided to use the name as my screen name. The funny thing is, it was the first time I heard of the name and I later found out later that it was an actual name, of Italian origin. It means, "one who stutters". I don't stutter, but it's interesting none the less.

Just never got around to it.
Now that mystery is solved, I can go back to contemplating the meaning of life.

[Gawain]

My real name is Gavin, which I didn’t think was very special or nice until just about a year ago. My name comes from the Knight of the Round Table, Gawain, who is Arthur’s nephew and a key player in a lot of text. His name comes from Gwalchmei, or ‘Hawk of May’. After having done some research, this almost directly links to the Eagle/hawk in the tree of Yggdrasil, in Norse mythology. Having most of my father’s side be English, and most of my mother’s being Scandinavian, the name Gawain comes from English, mispronounced by the Norse, so the byproduct is Gavin... but I thought it would be conceited to put my own name up there just because I like it that much, and I personally haven't been recognized nearly as much as how cool Gawain is. So... ramblage terminated.

Whenever there is a space to choose a sn, there is no second thought about it, I instinctively type 'bobvilax2000'.

[ReaLIllusion]

I've been kind of obsessing about the nature of reality and illusion (in waking life!) the past few months. Incidentally, my name (Maya) means "illusion" in Hindi, in the sense of our normal "real" world is an illusion of the senses. (That's not where my name came from though, my dad named me after a Filipino bird by the same name. It just seems to fit.)

Lucid dreaming blurs the line between real and illusion even more. What makes something real anyway?

My dreams are Real Illusions. Most likely, so am I.

[Spamtek]

I invented this moniker when I was in middle school and I thought it sounded pretty hot then so I've been using it for most things ever since. After subvocalizing the name thousands of times in your head it loses a little bit of its shine, but it still works well enough for me.

[perkydreamer]

I chose perkydreamer because someone who is perky is alert, awake, aware.

[Ardent Lost]

Hmmm i don't THINK i replied to this topic.

Mine basically refers to my spiritual "state" i guess. A while ago i tore down any belief system i had to start from scrath, so i have very little beliefs, thus no real base for my thoughts (ala lost). It's a great feeling though, so that's the reason for the "Ardent" on the front. I wouldn't be surprised if people misinterpret it as meaning i have lost the feeling of ardent or something, which would give the name a negative connotation, but that doesn't bother me too much. It was either this or "Lost and Ardent", which sounds kinda silly. It's rare that i come up with a screen name for any message board i visit that i end up really liking.

Spirit comes from my religion in Wicca, from the 5 elements, earth, air, fire, water and spirit. Out of the five, spirit is the most powerful and the most dedicated to the earth.

[NeAvO]

My screen name is my last name with a "o" at the end instead of a "e", as well as a nickname from school, incase you were wondering it's pronounced "neev-oh"

[shark!]

my screen name was less of a choice and more of a quest...a quest of biblical epic proportions initiated in the old testament of the bible where the prophecy of Jesus began, Jesus was supposed to bring great things and that is where it began:

So yah... *ahem ...so God knocked up Mary and Mr. Jesus H. Christ was eventually born...he said some things w/e...but the real reason he was here became apparent just before he died on the cross. He proclaimed instructions on the "holy grail." The knowledge was so powerful that 850 people crapped their pants in the surrounding area, god works in mysterious ways (yah this really happened just read the bible, right after the part of death to gays) But one small boy, his life later chronicled in that Disney Screwdge documentary, Tiny Tim heard what Sire Jesus had said. Tiny Tim soon started the Knights Templar and later McDonalds...who hid the secret for like a really fucking long time. Infact till the time Robin Hood was born.

Robin Hood (aka Robin of the Hood) began his Marxist-Leninist re-distribution of wealth in England with the help of Che Guevara and Bolshevicks...He then realized he knew something that Tim had told him that was of great wealth... the ~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~ part of my name...so he re-distributed this aswell...to me.

The next part of my name the "\o/" represents existentialism, facticity, nihilism, the irony of phenomenology,
as well as pretentious nonsense...um I won't explain how it represents those things here...you can ask or just figure it out on you're own...its like a puzzle really...

This quest lead all the way to the completely non-fiction documentary book called The Davinci Code, written By the fucking Ninja Turtle Leonardo Davinci him self! The very brave and courageous Tom Hanks became interco-mingled within the opaque secrets of the holy grail. and he was the one who discovered the very last part of my "name" ( I put it in quotes as it seems more than a name...) he discovered the last piece of a thousand year old puzzle...the shark fin the... "/\" symbol represented at the Louvre (((the \/ was completely a mistake only the /\ is correct! and important))))

Oh and the “shark!” part at the end was decided to be added by me...for clarity that it was a picture of a shark and a man...BUT to this day Scholars deep within the depths of all Ivy League schools and secret societies still debate over whether it was a good choice or not…

187420 - well, that just seemed like a good combination of numbers at the time.

[Sekhmet]

My screen name is of an ancient egyptian goddess who represents transformation and enlightenment. Not very original, but whatever.

[Josh_Mac]

Well how to explain this... I did something crazy, I took my first name, my second name and slapped an underscore between those babies! serve that with a BigMac and a side order of pure awesomeness and you get Josh_Mac

[BecomingCold216]

Song by my favorite band Mushroomhead.

[xcrissxcrossx]

[badassbob]

Well my name's Rob, and i'm a bad ass :furious: . Don't worry, just kidding :bigteeth: I use this name for everything, myspace, newgrounds, email accounts. I think it just popped into my head one day.

[Warlock]

A friend of mine suddenly bursted out and said i looked like a Warlock.
I have no idea what a Warlock is supposed to look like, though.
But it kind of stuck with me after that.

Guess i will have to post a picture of me sometime... but now is not the time.

[Bjango]

I chose Muhjah because it means "Heart's Blood", which was the name of a dragon in a fantasy trilogy I read a long time ago; and Mink, my avatar (and sometimes sig), is a dragon half.

Ah wait! Is the series by Jane Yolen? (I think that's her name...)
Man, I read that series a while ago, but it was so damn awesome. >_<

--

My name? Psh, made it up. I like it tho. It has... spice.
Bjango... makes me want to bring out the chips and salsa or something.

[MSG]

my name used to be pOOp

and like

don't know where the hell that came from

don't think I want to know either

well anyway I wanted to change my name but keep the OO so as not to confuse so DoomedOne was crapping out a whole bunch or words that rhyme with pOOp

so one of the words he crapped out was sOOp

and my mom makes delicious potato soup

so I'm... potato sOOp now

[shark!]

I think this guy has some Oedipal things going on...hey just throwing that out there...

[XMindfreakX]

Jeff Hardy-Charismatic Enigma. There you have AngelicEnigma.

thats not your... name?


they didn't mean AOL screenname they meant your name on the forums

[icuurd12b42]

Mine has multiple meanings bunched up into a single string of characters. All relevant to my state of being.

I thought of it when I was almost dead.

Death, or close to it (Intensive care unit ICU)
Cheese (Curds or cuurd, what cheese is before being cheese) I love cheese!
Precog (I see you, you are the one to be ICUURD12B)
Remote Viewing (I see you ICU)
Hitchhiker’s guide to the galaxy (42, the meaning of life)
So, ICUURD12B42 is like: I see you, you are the one to be 42. You must be 41 then. Or one about to figure things out.

In my dying haze, it had more hidden meanings as well. I just can't remember all of it.

[Leo Volont]

It was almost 40 years ago and one of my first Lucid Dreams.

My Kundalini Guru was out in the middle of a field behind a canvas and an eisle painting something and looking off into the sky. Oh, his yogic system was called SKY for Simplified Kundalini Yoga... he was one of the first Shaktipat Gurus. I walked up and asked him what he was painting.

He nodded his head with a tilt upward, and he said "Can't you see it ... A Flying Lion". And, yes, I looked up and there was a Lion with Wings circling above.

Leo and the french for flying... roughly... Volont. It also implies some degree of thievery... oh well...

[Gwendolyn]

That's pretty cool, Leo.

[SpaceFlower]

named after my avatar - one of my favorite drawings

[Secret Neo]

Well, mine raises questions. First, I'm a huge Matrix fan. and Second, am I the One? Am I a Hacker? Am I hacking... YOU? lol, yaah, see what I mean.

[skybluelucid]

skybluelucid is a color, a smell, and the way the crisp cool air feels on your skin once you realize you're dreaming. It's that moisture you get in your eyes that isn't tears.

Space Flower? Beautifully simple. Now it's one of my favorite drawings, too!

[Lyla]

I don't like using my real name, i got bored of it a long time ago. So, i decided i wanted to use the name of a character from a book..but then i realised that all book characters i like are guys :| so, i sttled for "Lyla" as in the Oasis song (they're my fav band :bigteeth: )
