Soooo...what's your screen name all about anyway?

jub jub · June 23, 2006, 13:43:06

I thought it would be neat to start a thread that everyone could participate in... thus the subject.

My name "jub jub" came from the poem "Jabberwocky" by Lewis Carroll. In the poem, the Jabberwocky is referred to as the "jubjub" bird. Since I had such a fascination with Lewis Carroll and his work I thought I would adopt the name as a screen name.

For those of you not familiar with the poem, you can read it here.

It's typical Lewis Carroll! Somehow I feel I know him.

Mine came from the title of a poem that I wrote.
But really I just like the word.

MisterJingo · June 23, 2006, 14:36:56

My name came from a series of books by Tad Williams called Otherland.
Misterjingo was a 'bogeyman', a childhood nightmare of a child - whose fear carried into adulthood. It was also the name of a virtual night club (misterjingos smile/misterjs) in the same series of books.
I've been using it for nearly 10 years now, and started because it was one of the few unique names available as a username on hotmail. So I stuck with it.

Mine is an old reference to back when I was a gamer...it goes back to 1992...(the name, not my AP account).

Vilkate · June 23, 2006, 18:17:55

Mine means "Werewolf", or, to be more precise, "Wolf's eyes" in Latvian. Dunno, I've always associated myself with wolves.

I got mine from when i first started projecting and I bought a night light in the shape of a knight.... lol... knight light... get it??? :PP so yeah I bought this light in the hopes of mentally using as a guardian while projecting. I had him in my room at the base of my bed and if I ever got scared from astral sounds or anything I would open my eyes and look at him and feel better. Thats where I got it from.

Ummm....pass.

No intersting story to be read here. :redface:

Stookie · June 23, 2006, 22:59:06

It was the first random thing that popped into my mind when I had to create a user name.

Nay · June 24, 2006, 10:01:31

Nic name started by neice and nephew. They could not pronounce, Renee'.. so, Nay-nay was born.

winged_feline · June 24, 2006, 21:12:51

Mine came from the fact that I used to change into a cat sometimes while OBE'ing and I tried flying across the roofs of the neighbour's houses.

rave_master_naruto · June 25, 2006, 09:45:11

....? :worried:
mine is came from the anime named "rave master" and "naruto"

..so rave_master Naruto

..a unique name huh

malganis · June 25, 2006, 09:55:56

From a character in Warcraft 3. I was looking for a nick back then and i liked the sound of it so i'm using it for four years now.

paint1 · June 25, 2006, 18:04:43

Since I'm an artist, paint1; seemed appropriate.

paker7 · June 25, 2006, 18:22:05

paker means musclehead in my language :redface:

:boxing2: :superman:

WalkerInTheWoods · June 26, 2006, 06:13:55

Mine really has no significance. I just picked it many years ago when it might have had some meaning but it doesn't now and I am too lazy to care about changing it.

Nay · June 26, 2006, 06:24:05

I think fallnangel is pretty obvious. I could help you change it, if you feel it isn't appropriate anymore.

WalkerInTheWoods · June 26, 2006, 06:42:12

Thanks, Nay. Really in this environment what do we have other than our "name"?

WindGod · June 26, 2006, 10:16:56

Someone who's an expert at windsurfing, kitesurfing, sailing, something I aspire to (wana be)

.

I'm learning to respect the windgods, not to worship, but to refrain from cursing them when the wind is not just the way I like it.
(yeah, got some frustration issues to fix

)

cainam_nazier · June 27, 2006, 02:18:04

Well, lets see. Cainam is Maniac backwards which is the way that I am. I am a little crazy but there is a method to my madness. And Nazier is just some thing I pulled out of the sky so to speak. An I just put the together. Cainam Nazier.

Oddly enough I have done a name search on them and they show up in various forms in Arabic. Cainam meaning "of God" and Nazier meaning "from Nazzarine". I just thought it was kinda creepy that would choose those names.

Mustardseed · June 27, 2006, 04:15:04

Well Ok then ........... I actually heard mine spoken to me during a channeling "your name shall be David Mustardseed". (I just saw Cainam that I beat you by 2........look at it just by 2, and you have a thing with 2's

)

cainam_nazier · June 27, 2006, 06:47:54

Ahhh, two what? And what thing with two's? Do I have a thing with two's? Toes....maybe, but I don't think two's.

Maniac...I like that! :hammer: :rotfl:

falsetigerlimbs · June 28, 2006, 03:13:27

my screenname just comes from a song written from the perspective of someone in jail (by the band 'the blood brothers'):

USA Nails

"Operator can I confide you?
They haven't got an ounce of proof!
Those pigs locked me up to see what color i'd rot into!
(It wasn't me it was my false tiger limbs..
It wasn't me it was the garbage gryphon!)"

and i tend to blame things on other people a lot, so it fits. haha.
