HOW DID YOU CHOOSE YOUR'NAME'?

Post Reply New Topic

Crimson Edge is one of the prospect names for my band me and my friends are forming (or maybe even the name of the first song we plan on recording) and I liked it so I used it.

The second meaning of it (where the name was derived from) is the after effects of a well-sharpened blade being inserted into someone's body. This makes the blade a "Crimson Edge".

the full name is jijinmachina

jijin = "suicide" in Japanese

machina = latin for "machine"

It is an allusion to the plot device "deus ex machina", in my case the deus ex machina would be suicide.

Also a slight allusion to my favorite drug DXM (D Ex M)

I am pretty much an alternative person.

I chose 9CatMom because I have a total of nine cats, four indoor cats and five feral cats.

I needed to quickly choose a name before a multi-player game and I couldn't think of something more clever.

Neuromancer is the title of a William Gibson book that I like. The character is an Artificial inteligence, but I think I chose the nick because Neuromancer "lived" at my city, also I like to go to the beach even at rainy days, where I stay alone, what makes me remember Neuromancers descriptions there.

Quatermass, as I have stated a number of times before, is the name of a professor in an old British sci-fi serial that predated Doctor Who. Professor Bernard Quatermass. The name has stuck with me on a number of BBSes...

One of my friends from high school and I got into a half joking/half serious fight over a video game with the 7-up character Spot in it. It resulted in her throwing the controller at my head. It became one of those bonding jokes between friends things. Even though I don't talk to her anymore, it's still one of the names I use on forums.



17 is my ex husband's favorite number. He used to steal (or try to) any sign with the number 17 on it. I think it was something he picked up in high school with his friends. Over the years, it became the number I used for everything too.

You are the "Material Defender" in the computer game Descent.

I've always had a preference for the colour green. It puts me at ease for some reason. Socks because I really like socks. No matter how many socks I have, I will always buy more socks which is strange because I don't really like wearing socks at all.

I have never owned a pair of green socks.

the name chose me i didn't chose it

^^ Same as above.
It just came into my mind one evening when I was starting getting interested in spirituality.
That was 5 years ago.
I have used it ever since.
Means fine grail, apparently. Part Welsh, part French.

I am Uncertain.

I used Uncertain_Late because someone else had apparently taken the name "Uncertain" already, therefore I was too late.

I want to change it, but apparently I can't. I would change it to UncertainUltridian.

3 guesses...
