What does your User name mean to you?

[Syaoran]

Do you mean like this.

Bonjour comment allez vous aujourd'hui.(Good morning how are you today.)

[bigsleepj]

Yea! I noticed this about you at first, but have yet to comment on it! You ROCK for even knowing Bogart and Becall, much less making a user name out of it!!! *Big Sleep J earns major brownie points*

Actually I have mentioned it in similar threads like this one but those get lost in the shuffle sometimes. Its actually good to FINALLY find someone who actually knows what it means. Most people assume that it means I like to sleep a lot. Actually the phrase "The Big Sleep" refers to death - but I didn't chose it for dark, pessimistic reasons but because it actually sounds funny. Some people around here sometimes referred to me (quite by accident) though as Bigsheepj.

You must have seen Casablanca then, right? I mean it's a clasic.

What Humphrey Bogart fan did not see Casablanca? Great movie - one of my favourites. There was a time when I watched it once every week - I now reserve it for once every year. It still is my favourite Bogey movie.

My name is french, and it means hope.

Cool. I knew it was French but I had no clue what it meant. Thanks for clearing that up.

[Uzziel]

Uzziel means 'God is my strength'. I chose that because many times God is the only one I can draw strength from.

[Rachel]

My username used to be convoybutterfly. It was the name Excel put on a temp job application once in Excel Saga. After a while, I just got tired of typing it in everytime I would log in because it was so long. So I changed it to Rachel. Which still isn't my name. My name is Rachelynn but Rachel is what most people call me since my whole name is kind of hard to say. I've thought about changing it to Rachelynn (my username) but I think we're only allowed to change it once.

[Todeskreuz]

todeskreuz= cross of death in german....um...not sure...I just really really like it. I guess it can relate to the fact that christ died on a cross...heh go me for not knowing why I like my sn...but it is my sn for almost everything recently

[Hitokiri]

Hitokiri...."assassin" in Japanese. Kind a no brainer for RK/SX fans.

[ChristianKitsune]

Hitokiri Battousai...

AHHHHHH I LOVE RK/SX!! MY FAVE!

*goes all fangirl*

[Sheenar]

I picked Sheenar because it was a nickname from high school. I was in Spanish with a bunch of my friends and they changed my name to an AR verb and would conjugate it: Sheeno, Sheenas, Sheena, Sheenamos, Sheenan.

I still have a few friends who call me Sheenar. I still think it's hilarious.

[Mangafanatic]

Eh, it's really just too abstract to explain. . .

[Raiden no Kishi]

It's Japanese for "knight of thunder and lightning". I've always considered myself a knight of sorts, and as for thunder and lightning, well . . . Knight of Pink Cotton Candy just wasn't as cool.

[termyt]

Eh, it's really just too abstract to explain. . .

I've seen some of those abstractions, and I agree ^_^

Unlike bigsheepj, I really don't have any deep significance behind my user name, but it's important to me, none-the-less. I would say as many people know be by this name as what know by my given name.

[faithfighter]

my name faithfighter was like the 30th name I came up with. the rest were stupid and meaningless I wanted soemthign that said who I was.
its kind of simple though.
faith: being a Christian, (no though its popular beilef faith isn't my name.)
fighter: because (much like my brother HolySoldier5000,) I wanted to fight for my faith...bby speaking out of Christ...and fighting temption.
so anyway there is the meaning behind my name.

I for a while wanted to change it to NamlessOne (after a book I read, and because I was going through about the same thing as the chara, but I kept it...cause I decided I really liked it to much)

[Kaligraphic]

My username means a lot to me. When I see it on a site, it gives me a very special, warm, "logged-in" feeling, like I don't have to log into the site to do things that only logged-in users can do.

[Zilch]

I'm Zilch, mostly because it sounds cool, and kinda because I'm nothing without God. And Zilch is an easy name to yell. Hence, Ashley's usage of it frequently.

[lostlamb99]

I actually came up with my name last year, when I decided to make an anonymous e-mail so that I could share my faith to my classmates. Never been to any forums before so this was my firts one. lol. But I thought about it even more and it had a deep significance to me so it stuck I guess.

I got it from the parable of the lost sheep (Matthew 18:10-14) where one man left all 99 sheep to find that lost one. I used almb because a lamb is meek and so I wanted to be that lost lamb over whom angels rejoiced in heaven.

This year actually I just realized that I really am found now. Like wahat I said in an essay, I found my purpose by letting myself get found. I was a Chrsitian since seven but twas only last year that God revealed my purpose in living.

Well hoped you like teh short story. ^_^. All you guys have cool names too. O yeah has anyone been using Crusader for Christ? I might use that as my other nickname.

[Knuckles]

Hehe, Knuckles is my nickname IRL (for various reasons) ^_^ Always had it since I was a kid (Yes, way before my favorite red echidna was thought up by Sega >:])

[Diakonos]

"Diakonos" is Greek (as it was origanlly written the New Testment) it means "servant" or "the one who serves" but in Greek there is more than one way to to say "servant"... Diakonos means a servant in the line of ministry.

Which I am !

[Eastkun]

My name is named after a satellite game from super nintendo called Super Ninja kun. It was pretty fun.

[Sharon Rose]

Quite a bit. Lol. It's my real first and middle name.

[Kaorugirl]

My name is after Kaoru on Rurouni Kenshin

[Ren_sama]

It means that when I made this username, I was very obsessed with that character.
I'm not so much anymore though...

[ashfire]

My user name is based on a comic book character by Events comics, ASH or Ashley, who is a New York City firefighter who becomes a superhero when his life is combined with alien soldier sort of a Altraman or Hulk type situation after he is seriously burn in a building fire. The fire part is that ASH is involved with fire and so am I as a firefighter/EMT.

[John316]

<- Obvious

[Tsukuyomi]

I'm not sure if this makes sense, but "Sao" means "Girl" in Laos and "Sakura" means "Cherry Blossom". I guess you can translate it as Cherry Blossom Maiden. Hey, that was pretty creative if I do say so myself (hehehe)! I just love Sakuras. They're so beautiful!!!

[~Natsumi Lam~]

Natsumi Lam

Natsumi = " Beautiful Summer" and the name i wish i had.
...... I am from arizona,.... phoenix doesnt have a beautiful summer ... i hope to have a beautiful summer...

Lam= my last name from a cambodian family i married into.

[SailorDove]

Just finished reading ALL of these 12 pages of posts. And enjoyed everyone's explanations, from real names, to movie buffs, (actually knows who Bogart is & seen Casablanca), language related names, spur of the moment or real life influenced. I'd have to admit, (as many of you probably already guessed), I'm in the made up character online id group.

Most would be right that it a clue I'm a Sailor Moon fan and made up my own scout. Whether the name is cliche or creative, I'm not sure, but I like it.

"Sailor" as in traveler in the sea of time and "Dove" as a messenger of God.

First as my first yahoo e-mail account and then online at different online groups, (SM.org and others, and now here in our little Christian Anime Cove)

[Azier the Swordsman]

Azier was originally a character for an RPG story I've had in my head to a long time. (As I'm eventually gonna be in game design.) I like to use it because it's very unique. I'm the only one on the net who has it.... it's kind of like my personal signature.

In addition; Azier is truly my alter ego. I'm very careful how I act under this persona; sometimes, hanging out on a non-Christian board might tempt me to want to try to blend in more and act more the way they act... even though I know it may not be right... my screenname in a way keeps me in check as it reminds me that I would not want to be seen by anyone familiar with me or my SN acting in a way that could be hypocritical to my love and beliefs in God. I'm very careful not to tarnish my alter ego in any way. And, in a way, it's beneficial to my Christian walk.

[Golden_Griff]

Hmm....actually I chose Golden_Griff in an attempt to create a screenname that would be less popular. But at the same time I didn't want to make a crazy screenname that's made of nothing but digits.

Of all the online alias that I have created, I like Golden_Griff the most. "Golden" is just an adjective I threw in so the name wouldn't sound so plain. "Griff" is a shortened version of "Griffin," which is a mythological creature.

If I knew that we could have screennames with spaces I would have just made it "Golden Griff" without the underscore. But then again I wouldn't be able to make this cool "smiley"--> G_G.

I've had several people mistaken me for a guy, but that's ok because it tells me that my name isn't stereotypically female either. (No offense to those who like stereotypical female screennames ) So in a sense, I'm not immediately judged for who or what I am.

In addition I think Golden_Griff fits my anime-ish alter ego's personality. The name has helped shape the image of my online being as well.

Although I am rather disappointed in finding more and more users who use a derivative of "Griffin/Gryphon" as their screenname, I still like Golden_Griff because it sounds so cool to me (I say disappointed because it makes me feel less special lol).
