Title: The "wtf did u get your name from" thread
Post by: §ôµÏG®ïñD on January 08, 2004, 06:03:32 PM
Theres a few new members, plus people chaging their names. So, what does your name mean, why did u choose it?

Also, where\'d u get your avvy and why did u choose it?


I\'ll start no doubt.
my name is a skating term, for inline skating. I used to do it, not much anymore if at all, i prefer martial arts over skating.

My avvy came from a game called Garou Mark of the Wolves aka Fatal Fury 4 on Neogeo. He\'s Rock, for those people that are fimilar with Fatal Fury, he is Geese\'s son. I choose it because it just looks cool. :) and i\'m cool, well my mommy says so.

Gentleman Joe = Gman Joe

Women describe me as a gentleman and girlfriends never knew they had a g-spot until I found it. I should have been a porn star....but AIDS in the mid 80\'s sorta put that in the hanger. So I just became a horny gentleman college slut. :)

i took the name paul2 because paul was taken and paul isn\'t my name anyway.  why paul, because some jackass imposted my name and say nasty things on the forum.  What happens?  well the moderators knows it was an imposter and banned him/her.  But i got banned too.  Not sure why, maybe the moderator didn\'t who is real and who is the imposter.

I was searching for information on the upcoming Playstation2 gaming console, when I came across this site. I tried to register my first name, which is Brandon, but it was taken. I looked around my room and noticed the cd case to the cd I was listening to at the moment. It was Ani Difranco\'s double live cd , \'Living In Clip\', so I figured I\'d register it and use it for my one post / question . Years later the name as stuck, I\'ve grown fond of it and registered it at other boards (DVDtalk, Bloody Disgusting, Dropzone.com and others).

If "Eiksirf" use to be your password for the username "shit" is it safe to assume that password for the name "Eiksirf" is "shit"?

Vapor Snake: I figured Hideo Kojima used a Liquid and Solid Snake, so I thought this was gonna be his next big character.

FreeStylah: Bomfunk MC\'s - FreeStyler

SwifDi: At work I dropped a bag of dog food and the girl with me said, "Swift, Di" sarcastically. And I\'m a loser.

First used this username when signing up for online play on Cavedog\'s online play for the game Total Annihilation.  There was an add for the shockwave player or something on the top of the page, and I ripped it off that.  Kept it since then.

Come on Souly, this thing has been done to death. :p

But alright, I\'ll play along again. When I first signed up I didn\'t know what to call myself. Then I saw someone called Frodo and being a Tolkien fan myself I then chose Samwise.

WTF are you doing taking a bag of dog food to work?





1st name: Jaye Bennington.

Jaye= J for John...... The Bennington bit, I got that from a box of matches.

I can\'t believe that some people here actually thought that was my real name.

2nd name: Cerberus.

I got it from greek & latin mythology.
For those who don\'t know, it was the 3 headed savage dog that guarded the gates of hades.

I\'m a computer nerd and colect all sorts of "computer" realted items. Old programs, lots of dos crap, but my biggest collection VIRUSES. Yes I collect them and its not all that weird we have a few boards and user groups where we share or "trade" for them. Not in the active form more like the code or the program in language. Anyways I have almost 4,000 of them. Some a quite usefull with some minor modifications.

Hence Cyrus the Virus

I took mine from the Sci Fi show The Lexx.  Gigashadow was a vessel that was intended to cleanse the universe of human life and hold the essence of "His Divine Shadow" who is thousands of years old and has been transferring his essence from one human to another over the years.

Read \'Fags\' and started cracking up. I assume you know what that means in American slang, right? No offense to gays or anything

I got my name from a couple places. First off, my sn has Titan hidden in it. Secondly, I am interested in astronomy to a degree. Titan is a moon I believe around Saturn (or Jupiter, 95% sure its Saturn though) and is thought to have life. Third is in Greek mythology. Titans were big and mighty and had a nice ring to it.
