what's in a name

Discussion in 'Chit Chat' started by hawaiianflower, Jun 17, 2013.

  1. Hi.

    I have seen some interesting usernames and I was curious as to why some people picked what they picked.

    Hawaiianflower is from a tattoo I have on my back. The hibiscus flower stands for love and beauty.

    flyalone45 was so my sister wouldn't find my other posts :wink: hahaha.

    she found my account and started snooping like she loves to do.
    my original was "Woundsneverheal" and i picked that because i was upset.

    i would change my username but i already changed it once, i dont if i can again

    The hibiscus is a beautiful flower! :slight_smile:

    My name is Emma, but my friends and family often call me Emz. Sort of like a nickname. Therefore that is the reason for my username....The End. Lol :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    Mine is a sort of hodge podge between two things. By nature, I'm a very sarcastic person, so that's the first part. There's a song called "The Lucky One" by Celldweller that I think applies to my life. That's the second part.

    That was always my character's name for Pokémon games, but I had never used it on the internet so I figured--why not here?

    People always comment that my eyes are pretty so that's where the idea for mines came from.

    I think mine is somewhat self-explanatory.

    My username is a nickname I earned awhile ago.

    I'm a fairly friendly person, and a lot of people misinterpret this for infatuation/sexual attraction etc.
    So, when I denied later advances from others, I was labeled a tease and a Minx. =^-^=

    My name is Jade, and that's what I am. It's also kind of an homage to Jack from Will & Grace.

    My nickname is Dennis, and the rest is just the initials of my full name, hopefully I won't be found by my friends here xD.

    Mine just stands for Michigan's Lower Peninsula, it's where I'm from. Most people think it stands for My Little Pony, needless to say I didn't think that through

    Ugh, I hate to reveal this nerdgasm that is my username. It came from when I was massively into Lord of the Rings (Books religiously, never the films). I joined a forum and did a lot of Role-Playing. My character and username was Thaliondae Khelekia (Later Suchi-ru). Thaliondae is the Dauntless Shadow. Khelekia was the family name I adopted after RPing with others and it meant Icy Chasm. Suchi-ru was also a family name but no translation. (My character was a Haradhrim, which is the evil men to the south of Mordor, the Mumakil tamers). Since then I've used it on a host of other sites and I've grown attached to the name.

    :Edit: I should point out the the names are Elvish, I wanted to use Black Speech but compared to Elvish the dictionary of known words in it is miniscule. I hope fellow LotR fans wont judge me too harshly for using Elvish names for a Southron character.

    The femme identity was an important key in figuring out who I am, so my name here honors that... it also has a kind of double meaning. It can be Femme Me or Fem Meme. The 2nd one is because the femme identity (especially in it's current revival) is by definition a meme, i.e. "an idea, behavior, or style that spreads from person to person within a culture."

    I like simple things to be needlessly complex :icon_redf :lol:
