Thread: How did you choose your screen name?

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....

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...

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

Paperdoll EP....what do you think?

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

take a good look at this:

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

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 ). 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.

my name and birth year...so generic

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 is my name...

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.

cute! ^o^

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

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 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 )

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

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?

yes, very interesting algidhound..

<~~ 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.

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.

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

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"

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.

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:



~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.
