Screen Names

[Links Shadow]

My real internet alias is Link's Shadow, but since I could not sign up with an ' in my name I had to take it out.  I love to play video games mainly Nintendo games, and well one of my favorite games series is Zelda and the main character in those games is Link, so that gives you the first part of my name.  The I had to come up with something to go after it considering how many people around the world must have the screen name of Link, so I started thinking, "Hey, I have played everyone of the Zelda games and followed Link on every one of his adventures."  So I thought to myself what follows me Link where ever he goes other than me.  Then it hit me, his shadow.  Put that together and you get my name.  I am Link's Shadow.

Lysear,

Yes, Lysaer had the powers of light, and his brother Asandir had the powers of shadow. I never read any of the series past Curse of Mistwraith. I figured if Janny Wurts couldn't get any further into the story than she did with one decent sized book, I wasn't going to attempt the others. Besides, when I finished reading it David Eddings' Redemption of Althalus became available to me and I forgot all about Mistwraith.


James.

P.S.
I don't think I'll bother explaining my screen name.[]

[Squeek]

I thought everybody would be all like "Whoa Squeek, that's a sweet explanation" or like "Nice COLORS Squeek!"  or at least "I love you Squeek"...  Geeeeeez...

And...
Forget it! Don't even go there!!![]

Oh wow, I have not been to this board in a long time. I did not expect to see a topic alive that I had actually posted to from the last time I was around.

Whoa Squeek, that's a sweet explanation and like nice colors. I love you, man!

[Lain]

I'm one of those "anime freaks".  Not particularly a freak actually, I just happen to really like a few different series' here and there- not like I actually buy/dl every single thing out there and watch it ¬¬ This username comes from the series called "Serial Experiments Lain".  There's a character called Lain in there, the main character- who has "multiple hers".  Bah, confusing anime.  Too much to explain.  Anyway, a friend of mine mentioned how much I acted like both the original Lain and the "wired" Lain, and I guess it just caught on.  I seriously need a new alias though.  It tends to be annoying as a lot of people online like to have that username.  Feh.

[Kodemaster]

Hi guys,

I came up with this name back in 1992 when I was a big video game freak. I originally spelled it "Codemaster", after the video game company, but I thought it looked kinda plain, so I changed the C to a K.

Link's Shadow: Zelda rulez, doesn't it? The last one I beat was Zelda 64 (Ocarina of Time), cuz the lack of funds in the Jeni department have prevented me from buying the new system. []

I thought your name was a reference to the end boss of Zelda II. []

[Squeek]

Thanks to the people that said I'm the coolest.  

Links - I thought it was about the shadow link in the Water Temple in Ocarina of time.  That was a hard boss.  He did whatever you did.

kodemaster - I thought yours was from an old magazine I used to read.  I guess not

I'm glad this topic was made :X

[Hephaestus]

Hephaestus is the great allpowerful almighty Greek God of Fire. Nuff said.

[Tarconiss]

Tarconiss, is one of the few names i came up with out of nowhere. It stuck to me, and i REALLY like the name... i have 3 other names that happen to come up with like that...

    The first is Pendragans, wich is my aol name... it WAS supposed to be Pendragon, like.. King Arthur Pendragon.... But it didn't work when i tried to make the name Pendragon..... I eventually ended up with Pendragans..... and for some reason, THAT felt so much more in tune with me, than when i wanted Pendragon.... I've had that name for about 8 years now, and It will always be a part of me...

    The next name is Theladius. That name i came up with a few years ago, while thinking for a new character name. It seemed to flow from me, and i had that same feeling of likeing it. Last year after my grandfather died, i helped carry the casket from the funeral home, to to herse, then from the herse to the concreted dug-out.... Only then did i see what his real name was. [He was Born in America i think, but his first language was Polish, and the american translation of his name was Tidus, but everyone called him by 'Teddy'; which is both my fathers name, and im his Jr.] I read on the Tombstone, 'Thadeus'.... When I first saw it, it hit me, and i was awe struck by how close, Theladius, and Thadeus, were...

    This next one i dont associate much with, as a by-product of who i am.... but more of a name of a drawing i made, and used my own blood for the color of his eyes. "Dundar", i named him.... One of his main attributes was that he could speak and read ANY language that has existed, and will exist.

And as for an explanation on Tarconiss.... Well.. I used to have voices up to last summer..... One was male in voice and thought.... the other was female, in voice and thought..... it confused me, atpoints for obvious reasons, about my true self.... So i developed slight multiple personalities and mindsets.... Pendragans became one of them.... and another was Tarconiss... Two products of the good and experienced part of my essence.... The voices ended up developing conciousness's of thier own after the first 3 months of them starting..... and thats what led to my internal identity splits, because of haveing 3 objective thought patterns, being attached to my self..... Me... the other guy... and the female... I've stated thier names in a different thread.... but if anyone is interested, i'll talk about the 'voices' and the story they created through me.....

    Of the names i have come up with.... This is a full name, of the names i've come across, and that i feel comfortable, associateing myself with being called this;  Tarconiss Theladius Pendragans.

Oh well... nice chunk of your life taken up, wouldn't you agree?... heh...

Squeek,

I am glade you like the topic....."I love you man."


Tarconiss,

That is very interesting how the name you picked was so close to your grandfathers.  I have had several different names myself but eah but has run it's course and was left behind.  I only use the one now.


One of the things I find interesting, but I don't know if many of you have done it, is looking up names that you have made up in a name dictionary to see if they mean anything.

Hope you got your things together

THERESA   f   English
Pronounced: te-RAY-sa, te-REE-sa
From the Spanish and Portuguese name Teresa.

She inherited the domains of her father, Charles VI, the Holy Roman Emperor, which began the War of the Austrian Succession.

The Romans falsely derived it from Greek katharos "pure" and changed their spelling from Katerina to Katharina to reflect this. The name belonged to a 4th-century saint and martyr from Alexandria who was tortured on the famous Catherine wheel. This name was also borne by two empresses of Russia, including Catherine the Great, and by three of Henry VIII's wives.

[cainam_nazier]

So I was wondering were some of you get your screen names?
For instance, Inguma, Tir13, Distant Bell, Blue Light Mystic, kifyre and the list continues.

Me personally there are two parts.

Cainam (pronounced cain-am) or I used to write it this way, cainaM.  Any way, it is Maniac backwards.  When I was in highschool I played football (american football for all you people who call Soccer, football. And yes I know we are the wierd ones.)  A couple of the guys were really big on having nicknames and one of them started calling me Maniac.  But it did not fit very well.  This being because I was not a maniac on the field but rather I was calm, I had some what of a plotted evil to me. (I only cheated a little, and only got caught once.)  Since I was not the raving lunatic that the name suggested they started calling the Cainam.  Which was a way saying I was just as crazy but with a more diabolical intelligence.
I then almost pulled Nazier out of the air.  (Pronouced with a long "z". not a "ts" sound.)  I had not heard the name prior and it sounded good, so I put thm together.  But you have know idea how many people use cainam and nazier for handles.  But I have not run accross any other cainam_nazier's.


Cainam Nazier, There is a method to my madness.
