Preserved Topic: Where did your domain/nick names come from? (Page 1 of 2)

I know this thread was done once before but I can't seem to find it and there are a lot of new members since the last time.

krets: Shortened version of my last name.

kretsminky: "Russian" version of my last name that I used to use when my roomates and I would play SNES hockey.

hmm

DarkGarden= An old story (can't recall the author). Refers to what I see as my life, a dark garden, and a path of thornes (old Irish spelling).

Salvagion= Salvation+Contagion...my word for "truth"

Pixelflo= Bad spelling.


heh

Actually, Jestah came from one of my all time favorite movies, Top Gun. That was one of the piliots call sign and it sorta stuck with me in the early AOL days and then I eventually got into web design and dropped the 'er' and added 'ah'. True story.

var Thaddeus Ozone = a comic book I created back in 1991?
var "Doctor" = Doctorate of Divinity, Universal Life Church, value, $20.00 USD

Your pal, -doc-

my domain name (bittersweet2.com) is my old @home email address. bittersweet had been taken as an email addy for @home, as well as a domain name. the "2" is my lucky number, and it happened to be available for both. i chose the word "bittersweet" because it seemed to describe my life.

la'dsasha is a contraction for "lady sasha" and was created when i started playing diablo.

vogon's are a race of intergalatic aliens that specialize in the clearance of planets for the construction of intergalatic highways. As well as being rather obnoxious in nature, one of the 2nd most worse things in the universe, is to have a 'vogon' read you some of his poetry!!! So basically I have been known to write a few poems in my time, so Vogonpoet kinda seemed to fit.. irony

The Vogons are from a series of books "Hitch Hikers Guide To the Galaxy" by Douglas Adams..

and that was that!

umm...my name

Boudga is a shortened form of the coined term 'bood guzz' (if you swap the b and g you have a good buzz).

In my post high school partying days, me and my buds were camping out one night getting totally supercharged when one the guys piped up and informed us he had a "bood guzz". We all of course began to laugh uncontrollably (due impart to the chronic as it really wasn't that funny). Ever since then we've started calling ourselves Boudga's.

Phil......my name....

Scansped.....not 'Speedy Scanner'..... derived from a company of the same name, short for Scandinavien Spedition - Spedition translates as Transport. Transport/Trucking/Logistics, my work....the Scandinavien influence was 3 great years in Denmark, Sweden and Norway.

My old partner once said I looked like Pugsly Adams from the Adams Family TV show. I actually use "Sniper" more than "Pugzly", but everyone around here knows me as Pugzly. As for the domain name, well, I have about 50. But our root domain, RunningWolf.com comes from a fascination of wolves. It was the "coolest" wolf related domain name that was available about three years ago. Hence the world domination of our company RunningWolf, Inc.

i drink a lot of coffee, then act my name.

additionally, for all people that don't know what ^ is, it's a carrot; and i love carrots. when drinking lots of coffee and eating carrots, i twItch^.

th-inknet.com was my first company; (th)inkdesign

My parents have called be "Buggy" since I was a baby. I liked it better than "Harvey" so i toned it down to "Bugs" in high school. I use "Bugimus" online because it's unique and it comes from some fantasy writings I did several years back.

I got it from my domain, I wanted Moai.com but its some lame software company, I thought about adding an 's' to the end but then it sounds like someone with a texan accent is requesting 'mo'ice', so I pluralized it hacker style by adding a Z. Moai+Z

The reason I wanted the Moai, (those large statues on Rapa Nui, aka easter island) is when I was a bit younger and a lot less responsible I lived in a scaled down version of a frat house with no greek affiliaions with 5 roommates. I came in the living room one day after a weekend of racous partying and binge drinking and I found a 7" high plaster rendition of a moai standing next to the sofa in our living room. At some point during the weekend someone had absconded it from an unknown source, (not easter island) and brought it into our humble abode, we adopted him, (because he weighed several hundred pounds and they didnt want to move it again) and named him Jesus, (spanish pronunciation hey-soos)

It traveled with me for 2 moves and then I lost Jesus in a tournament of games of EA-madden-hockey to my departing roommate, if not Jesus would be here with me now.

I used to play WarCraft 2 all the time and so when I started to play online and needed a name I wanted to pick something Orcish sounding, hence Blook (pronounced Bluke). I liked the name and it stuck with me ever since, except for my Ultima Online days where I went by the name Ash AoD. I was a big Army of Darkness fan and wanted to roleplay Ash in the game. It was a riot running around spouting out lines from the movie. But when it was all said and done I am still Blook. I am still on my first ICQ account and Blook is my name there. In the last 1-2 years I have been influenced to change the name to bl00k (with zeros) due to my contacts in the hacker community. So now I go by Blook or bl00k. www.blook.com was taken so it was nice to have the zeros to fall back on. www.bl00k.com

Well, I think that was longer than nescesary.


These eyes have walls.

Sorry to get off topic but a good friend of mine went to school with a guy named Jesus (Spanish pronunciation) Penis (French pronunciation). No joke.

mikey milker.... freak accident down at the dairy plant.

zerominuszero.... charles bukowski, mother fucker.

cheers.mikey.milker

"heddaLettis"

When I first came to the asylum, I was enticed by the free meds....

The name (which I've grown to hate, but apparently can't change---DOC) I saw in the NY Daily News in a picture from the NY "Halloween " festival...was some guy in drag named "hedda lettis".... I laughed so hard beer came out my nose.

(No I 'm not gay.....not that there's anything wrong with it!!)

Anyway, the name is stuck with me like an albatross......oh well, I guess it suits me, I am pretty stupid after all.

Names I use on Yahoo finance--------

In my motorcycle riding/hellraising days, in the crowd I ran with, I was he quiet one. Since there were 4 Bobs, we all had to have prefixes. Otherwise when you said * BOB *, you got all 4 of us.

The domain name Mybraindamage was taken, and dainbramaged was what we called a hangover, there you go. simple, like me. Hence mydainbramage.com



[This message has been edited by docilebob (edited 03-03-2001).]

its my opinion of the whole freaking online world.
we think we know each other, we make 'sigs' to represent ourselves, we write messages to each other, post pictures of ourselves, look at good design/ bad design/ design with potential, critique digital artworks, look at imagery, some people d'load porn, or get their pre-pubescent rocks off on lara croft, people go into chat rooms pretending to be someone younger and better looking from the other side of the world, trying to pick up some ugly person who is also pretending the same things, we can practically live in this world if we want to, but if you get your nose close enough to the monitor, you'll realise that it is all just a bunchapixels.

my domain name - reitsma.tripod.com (dont bother going there, unless you want to browse thru my index - no site, just storage) is my surname.

We must look first at to root word ?Zar.? My people group is recognized foremost by a Z some where in the center of their name followed by an ?a? or ?e? and an ?r?. I believe that the earliest know records show that my ancestor?s names were organized alphabetically and also appending to age. For example, my great ancestor Mr. DbZar?s son was named DcZar. But because that is hard to pronounce we called him decZar. His sister was named ecZer? As a non comformast my self, I was given the name iZaer. The ?a? had been added to the ?e? now because we had exhausted the previous name codes. If I had a sister she would be called JZear. Not the e and a have been flipped. But as I was saying I changed the ?I? to and ?eye.? I still planned to play off the traditional ?Zaer? but now have the name eyeman. I am sad to say that my extended family has abandoned me. And I am sad to say that the ?Zar? people group is in great danger of extinction.

its just my name...???

-mage-

i used to play 'the legend of zelda' with some of my friends when i was 8 years old.
in the 6th level i think, there is a dog-like-moster which wont let you pass through. the only thing it says is "grumble grumble ..." as far as that sounds similar to my last name, GRUMBLE was perfectly coined on me! my friends call me grumble now for about 10 years!
www.embege.com is an abbreviation for my real name... and would be too complicated to explain how it works...

I got the name Underdog from playing Worms 2(kickass game for those who don't know it). I guess you can thank Team 17 and Microprose for my being here

Grumble, that would be level seven. =) One had to get the "enemy bait" to get by.

"Slime" was the weakest enemy in the Dragon Warrior series, and old game. Back in like 5th grade I made all these little flipbooks animating slimes because I thought they were neat, and it just sort of stuck with me since, becoming my internet alias and all.

Ever seen the movie 'the fifth element'? No? well, some alien lifeform (she's pretty pretty) (I would use the word perfect, lacking a better term) (her name is Leelo) (on with the explanation) runs around there talking a weird language. Her full name is Leeloo Minai Lekarariba-Laminai-Tchai Ekbat De Sebat. Since I thought it was a pretty nifty language, I got some words from it and used is as my name : : Mahjqala Leegonai Danko : : (oh yeah, someone told me Majqa was Klingon for 'well done'.)

Mahjqa, so you liked Mila Jovovich, heh?

yo slime! the 7th level.... thanks for reminding me! you have to give him that bone and then he will let you pass through!
boah! god save that great game!

I'm a big fan of heavy metal. Ever listened to Cradle of Filth? I just love their unique style. The lead vocalist of the band goes by the name of Nocturnal Pulse. Nocturne was also a game I'd read about but never actualy played -- it was supposed to have dynamic fog and shadows and stuff -- a lot like Unreal...

i got a question.... do any of you ever play chess over at yahoo? or any other place? if so what isyour name?

I use red_40200 as an access to yahoo! games, mail, fun stuff, etc...

I got my nick from my real name; Frederic. Some of my friends call me Fred but most people call me Rick. When I subcribe for a mailing list I usually use Eric Vitalis.

Domain: Don't have one yet... still thinking..

I play chess @ yahoo, I am King_Celery. I really want to learn GO so I have been trying a bit of that @ Yahoo also.

Many years ago when I was looking for a company name, my wife suggested hyperbole because I have a tendancy toward exagerated understatement. Because she knits, sews, quilts, and makes lace and I write computer programs we decided to make it Hyperbole Software, UnLtd. Hence, my domain name www.HyperboleSoftware.com , my company name, and my handle.

Note: I am currently in a trademark war with another company called hyperBole Studios and may eventually lose the use of the name hyperbole even though now it looks as if I have a good case for my side.

Um, well ROY has been with me since my days as a high school soccer goalkeeper-
It came from my last name (royer) and my(2nd) favorite hockey goaltender at the time, Patrick Roy. So my name is actually pronounced with the French pronunciation- Wah. But most people still just say Roy.
"the" as in THE one and only

And I have a new domain- roysunderworld.com (coming soon) the underworld being my basement studio nickname.

dolphinstreet.com - idea came from one of my favorite jazz songs, "On Green Dolphin Street". Check it out by Miles Davis.
rotren - from my university email address. First two letters "ro" and last letter "t" from my name "Robert", then the first three letters from my last name "Renman", that makes rot+ren=rotren. How clever! But hey, it's unique and short.

My nick came about when a friend of mine and myself were playing Unreal. We saw out first Skaarj Warrior, and my friend joked that I looked like him (I had a face full of pimples at that point). So it kinda stuck, got myself an email address of skaarjj@email.com (tried to get the proper spelling of 1 J, but it was taken...I ocassionally get his mail, his name's michael and he lives in some town in illonois, or something like that). It really did stick.

RideTheWave? I kinda came up with that back in my Lightwave modelling days. All these places told you to control your program and make it do what you want, but I prefered to let it take me where it took me, and it took me here, so I was Ridin The Wave...anyhoo...yeah...that's it.

Cheers.




Pretty...What do we blow up first? - Unknown

I got the name from an online chat with this woman who told me I could spell the Celtic version of my real name using the structure of numerology. I don't remember how it owrked but...


la'dasha: my lucky number is also 2 and played a big role in allewyn


Jesus Penis? That would be hey-suse peh-neice, right?


eye: I play chess at Excite by the name of Bagabones and the nick at Y! is PacificGiant, named after my favorite creature here in Oregon, the Pacfic Giant Salamander.


Skarrj: Pretty. What do we blow up first? I believe comes from BtVS, said by Buffy.


My first company name was SOSA Design for "Survivors of Spiritual Abuse"


Second company named "WildPony Productions" after an American Indian friend of mine. The wife let that expire (grrr) and I'm looking for the next thing. I don't think "Lame Resources" is taken yet

Silence is probably the only nickname I ever got to pick for myself. I'm not even gonna tell you guys my RL nicknames...heh

Anyway, when I joined the asylum, I wanted something to kind of reflect my personality, and silence fit the bill. I'm not real big on conversation so I picked this nick.

To my anoyance I found out that six other webdesigners used the same nick as I did earlier, Shamanix, therefore I changed it to my secondary nick witch is EyeEater. Being a serious Sandman lover I allways used EyeEater from the character The Corinthian. If you've ever read it you'll know why the name.

Some friends started saying this to me years ago and it just stuck. No real reason. It was this or
Thumper, don't ask I went with Shiiizzzam.

Seneca is my real name. Gotta love the 'rents don't ya? With my name I always figured people online would assume it was made up so I didn't see any reason to go with something else. (Never had a nickname come to think of it)

And like the Doc, I am a Saint through the Universal Life Church.
