OT - Your forum name

samosaurus · #21

They used to call me 'samo', well, I guess after I'd retired myself from the forums after hitting 3K, I decided to stay on with a new forum name, hence : "play it again, Sam!" well, 'samo' is still 'samo' on Blade Forums and Usualsuspect Net.. <img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0><img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0><img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

Very nice thread indeed. I guess mine is pretty straight forward. I spent my first years in University as a film student and loved James Dean's work. There you go

The Saint · #23

This is just a name I've used as an online alias for a few years. Well, actually, technically, The 2nd Saint, but that makes even less sense than the first nick. So, yeah, no real story, just some boring anecdote.

Casiopeia · #24

tsk tsk another OT <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

Actually this nick name is intentionally misspelled. I didn't like the two s's in the constellation but I got this nick back in 96 when I divorced my husband. It is symbolic of my mood then as people didn't like my leaving him and my whole life was turned upside down and I felt punished by my community for leaving him. I actually was a newbie to online chatting so I picked the nick Casiopeia who was hung upside down in the heavens for her transgressions. There to be seen in both hemispheres for her punishment that she can never rest.

I KNOW I KNOW...pretty mellow dramatic ...but so my divorce and my leaving the church and community I was involved with at the time

That's not really off topic. Mine is my middle name combined with my favorite all time rock song! Hey Outlaw, I got to see the Outlaws in concert in the early 80s. They were backed up by Foghat & Johnny Van Zant. Great show! RKBA!

disorder · #26

oh well..
Two reasons:
1- my favourite song of my favourite group, Joy Division, an UK group of late 70'.

2- being mostly an anarchist individualist (or a freethinker , as you prefer), what better of a little Disorder <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

arcanum · #27

Mine's Latin for "secret" -- which is what most of my knives are to my wife. I chose the neuter form because "arcanus" just sounded too **** dirty.

edzag · #28

Mine is as well short combination of few first letters of my first name (Edward) and last name.

Sir cuts a lot · #29

There's really no meaning behind mine. I do Use knives a lot, but for the most part I just thought it sounded cool. <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

JediKnight86 · #32

I love Star Wars, and I kinda wish the order of the Jedi really existed. I would love their powers, the their adventures, their wisdom, and of course their weapon of choice, the Lightsaber. My favorite Jedi is the young Obi-Wan Kenobi. He's a knight. The Knights are young, fast, agile, and more fun than the Masters who are all powerful and all knowing.

Sword and Shield · #33

Why S&S? Hm.

Well, my HS mascot was the Knight. When I signed up here Knight was taken (though I've never seen a post by...), so I went for the classic Knightly gear.<img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

The Man's Prayer- I am a man. But I can change. If I have to. I guess...

John Watson · #34

I just use my name because it is one thing I can usually remember. :-)

rorschach · #35

My moniker is from one of the best graphic novels of all time, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/de ... en.</a>
Rorschach is a tragic, dark and conflicted character, but he also has a lot of very admirable traits, some taken to extremes.

I'm not a big graphic novel reader, but Watchmen is a great story.

chux · #36

Rather boringly mine is just a contraction of a nickname from college. Maybe given enough time I'll come up with an interesting tale to go with it.

Rorschach:
Do you have the strange mask and P.I. gear, too?
Watchmen is one of the all-time classics.

Btw., I never would have thought I'd hit a nerve with the name thread. This is generating a lot of posts.<img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

rorschach · #39

silverback,
Well, only the strange mask I was born with. Affirmative on the PI gear, though. Although I still don't have a gas-propulsion grappling hook.

Mine is a combination of my name and my farther name. We Malay don't have a family name.
