"Jetstream": jet + stream two words combined into one to create my original username; it wasn't until later that I learned that 'jetstream' was already one word, albeit, compound (what, I'm no meteorologist). Also, it might have seeped into my subconscious because when I registered, I was playing Gran Turismo 4, and I think there was a jetstream stage in there somewhere. I changed it within the year to coincide with roachboy's birthday, but SMeth delayed my name change by a few days, so the (subtle) joke was most likely lost. It is derived thriceover from the film in which describes my waking/unwaking life, the previous prefix attached to my username (Jet), and an offhanded comment by Sharon in which she playfully referred to me as 'Jetty'. Yeah, I've also accepted that the new nick is a feminine French form, and there is no accurate instances of Le Jetées, only Las (what, I'm no Frenchman). This too, was a joke (perhaps unto only myself) in that I am a person who is, inherently, of a dual nature —good, bad, eloquent, concise, male, female. Guy who likes to procrastinate, but cannot shake off his perfectionism. Pronouncing my nick as 'Jetay' (even tho it is "technically" correct) when I silently want you to easily think and mutter unto yourself: that person is 'Jetty'. -- It's a marvel I was ever a good businessman in a previous life, considering I can't even compress was what three thoughts into no less than three paragraphs. |
meditrina is my 2nd name on TFP, I think, could be my 3rd. For this one, I searched the internet for something related to wine and fairies. Meditrina is the Roman goddess of wine and health. I liked it, so I used it. I wanted something that was me, not my kids and not something I was because of my Ex.

sportswidow05 -> Gaia -> Meditrina though I could be missing one, or thinking of someone else entirely. :surprised: |
"A dreamer of pictures, I run in the night; you'll see us together, chasing the moonlight, my cinnamon girl..."
Yep. I like the song. With one exception, all my online names have been taken from songs. 'Cause I'm a geek like that. |
My uncle was into watching wrestling way back when, and he nicknamed me after one of his favorites, One-Man Gang.
When I got on the internet I used that with an 8 on the end, then shortened it to Omg8. Then AOL-speak came about and I decided to change usernames. I had either just read or was reading Dune when I picked mine. (or, according to Charlie, watched the movie ;)) There are other Fremen out there in the interwebs. GH will search them out and absorb them, eventually. |
onodrim is the Elvish word for Ent in the Lord of the Rings, so it displays my geekiness, love of nature, and appreciation of intelligence/wisdom all in one. :) Also, I was still a recovering conservative when I signed up, and I wanted something I had never used anywhere else lest I be tracked down and associated with *gasp* boobies! :lol:

it's my name :)

Back when I was in middle school and high school, I was a huge NiN fan, and I used MrSelfDestruct as a username. It was mainly the name I used in my warez and hacking circles. I hardly resemble the person I was in high school, and I left the warez and hacking groups after getting higher in the ranks and finding out what the sources were for our pirated content and funding for server space, bandwidth, etc. The name was meaningless to me at that point, and I stuck with it on TFP for a few years out of habit before asking for it to be shortened. It doesn't hurt that it's also something that stays buried in search results due to other high profile uses of the acronym.

A friend talked about a site that she visited, but didn't want me to know about. This was a place where she could talk freely, and thought I would be upset with things she said here.
One night I googled her name and it took me to a post on TFP. While I was pleased with what I read, I was afraid that someone else who could be hurt by the post could also find it. I was upset with myself for "cheating" the system, afraid that she would be upset, but I had to let her know what I had done. Believe me, that was difficult. A lot of apologies, and promises that I wouldn't comment on anything said here. But at the same time, she was thankful for letting her know how easy it is for someone to follow you. |

All this time I had thought your name was quite... well, lame as fuck, but I was wrong... Boy, was I wrong. _________ I hate Def Leppard. At the time, I thought the name was sort of ironic... |

When I was younger I was pretty into Paganism and I was obsessed with the Salem witch trails. And my friend and I once started writting this amazing story, and one of the main characters was Salem, and I've loved it as a name ever since. So voila. Username.
|
My username is something I made up as a kid. It is simply the dumbest thing I could think of.
|
this is my second nickname here. hence, uncle phil and fly referring to me as "fred" from time to time. i just kinda outgrew that name. the former title was "fredweena the wunderslut" from college as a joke because i hadn't been with anyone at that point. only i knew the second half, so i ended up getting monkie's help to change me to noodle. it's actually from the gorillaz' noodle, but it works too since i have to use my noodle all the damn time between school and work. it's funny because i'm in people's cell phones and email directories as "noodle" with majority of my friends. :D

I tend to have a hard time coming up with user names that I like, so I came up with this one a long time ago and have used it ever since
Green Day was one of my favorite bands growing up and Basket Case was one of my favorite songs - so I put it together and changed a few letters so it would be at least a little more unique |
I'm pretty sure there was a thread about this before...
Back when I played Warcraft 2 on b.net, I used the nick ~Ironman. Got real good and just decided to attach the "iron" onto my name in remembrance of that skill. |
's pretty simple really. I play viola. Not many people do. Thus I am The Lone Violist, or loneviolist for Internetz.

My username is my "Indian Name": I got it after making it rain one day, well several times. Did my little rain dance outside on a beautiful day and boom in 15-minutes the sky was black as soot and it started pouring. Lasereth and RedJake can attest to this, they were there and helped come up with my name ;)
I get asked all the time what it means. |
I use it on most message boards.
|
Saw it on a , ship.

The Wire is one of my favorite shows of all time - actually I think its the greatest show ever. Stringer Bell was such a good character and I thought it was a sweet name.
|
mine's a bit persinal, but to explain it in a way that i don't have to go in to detail it's a way of doing something good after a long hard day, and releasing any negative energy you may have built up. so sweet release. there you have it.

Second name here, as the first one was banned. Because I was underage.
Studentech was my log in name when I was the student technician at my high school. I had a great amount of fun having all the knowledge and the power to block kids from the internet. One time I had a student direct me to a shock site, he didn't have internet for a week :P The other name, Rubby (still banned) surprisingly, has nothing to do with rubbing anything. I'm somewhat vague, but I think it's a fudgery of my initials, RB. |
My first name begins with a G... I was given the name G~man as a call-sign when I first started flying, and has stuck ever since. I use it on numerous different websites I frequent, although some do not allow the ~.

that sounds fun! :) i'd love that kind of power, but at the same time i may be a bit easy to get past. back at my school ages ago, we had a really strict administrator who would ban people off the internet for really stupid reasons. 1 time, someone sent a threatening email around campus, and we all got banned off the net because he didon't know who did it!. eventually he found out who it was, and they were expelled from school for causing the rest of us grief. ---------- Post added at 09:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:35 AM ---------- Quote:
are you a pilot or something okay.. i probably sound stupid, because you must be some kind of pilot.. but how did you get in to flying, and do you fly comercial airlines or work for something along the lines of the army |

that's really interesting. do you enjoy it? :) thanks for sharing. |

No I love it, but the lifestyle is not for everyone..I live in hotels for about 9 months each year, but I do get to fly all over the country. For the last 4 years or so, I have kept a picture blog of sorts of everything I do with the helicopter..who is called "LaFawnduh". You can view it here: The Adventures of LaFawnduh |
My present name is an anagram of my daughter's name. Also, it sounds like the latin
for love. I like the two ideas together. My old name (Grolsch) had to do with old habits. |

how did you pick the name? what has been the best hotel you've stayed in. this is extremely interesting stuff. :) |

Helix Lucorum is the latin name of an edible variety of land snail, i shortened it so it wouldn't be quite as unwieldy.

Mine is a combination of my initials and the name of my beloved pitbull who has passed......was the best dog a girl could ever wish for.....

I put a sticker on my Cavalier's windshield that said "100% Cavi Hit" (I saw it on a tape case) and my friends started calling me Cavi Mike. To this day I'm called Cavi, many think it's my middle or last name.
http://cavimike.com/CAVI.JPG Oh, and to quell any theories that my name has to do with that CAVI clothing line that came out a few years ago(2004 to be exact) I was dubbed Cavi in 1998. I don't have proof I was Cavi in '98 but I do have proof I was Cavi before 2004. http://cavimike.com/eclipseY2K.JPG |
