[I-am-so-Johns-girl]

I know we have lots of newbies....seems like a long time since this question was answered. Come on new peeps....give us a clue! :D

[UTChick]

Changed mine a little anyway,(Utnewbie to UTChick), I figure it's pretty self-explanatory - Unchartered Territories - female out there. I'm not always of this world anyway, so - I think it's reasonably appropriate.

[Palin]

I love Monty Python and, as you've probably now guessed Michael Palin is my favourite Python. I also love his various tv programmes with him travelling across the world. :D

[Deadman]

I stole mine from WWE star, The Undertaker!!!!

[I-am-so-Johns-girl]

:bump: Now that we have lots of new members I thought I'd give this g-man thread a nice "bump"! ;)

[trubador]

This thread definitely needs a new :bump:

[chasa]

Mine is a shortened version of my original online nickname, chasarumba. And it has nothing to do with any fandom. I was a competitive Latin (aka ballroom) dancer for almost a decade, and it's an amalgamation of three of the five dances that were in my category -- cha cha, samba and rumba (the other two being paso doble and jive). I haven't danced in a few years, but the nick sticks all the same :)

[faustus]

Dr Faustus by Christopher Marlowe is a play I stole the name from :aok:

[Jeff O'Connor]

Mine means God in seventeen languages.

[faustus]

Mine means God in seventeen languages.
are those made up languages?

[Jeff O'Connor]

are those made up languages?

Shhh.

[faustus]

ohh OK i'll go hide now

[Jeff O'Connor]

Well... that... that's not what I was going for at all.

[faustus]

your going somewhere?

[Jeff O'Connor]

Am I?

[faustus]

you said you where going

[Jeff O'Connor]

Ah, yes. So I am.

[Sponge]

Mine's short for 'Bullet Sponge', gained while at a LAN party with a few mates.

We were playing co-op Ghost Recon, and were on a mission that involved taking out some artillery. I ran up one particular hill at least eight times, and got shot by the same sniper each time, no matter what I did. Thus - 'Bullet Sponge' or just Sponge.

At least it's better than one mate, who got stuck with 'Kharn the Betrayer' for shooting his own men...

[grinner]

:bump:

[who45]

Forgot about this thread...it's a little dusty.

[grinner]

figured with all the newbies here... they might want to explain their nicks.

[who45]

and there are a lot....:bigwave: to all the newbies.

[BrowderChick]

hmmmmm...... I cant remember if I ever explained mine :lol

[Third EYe]

what the fruck is a nick?

[BrowderChick]

Your handle.... "Third Eye"

[MotorWerk]

Well, mine is a mix of two of the best bands I know: Motorhead and Kraftwerk.

[FrelledProwler]

never had a lot of money growing up......I never seemed to have a car that worked for very long....Prowlers are the cars of the future, hence FrelledProwler.

[eta_carinae]

I don't think I ever posted in here.... my nick is my favorite star - Eta Carinae. I picked it from an astronomy book when I was first picking a handle way back in the day. It is one of the brightest stars in the sky, and is know for unpredictable "violent" outbursts :D

[JadeScape]

Well mine is boring.....so i dont know if I should tell....:lol

Anyone want to guess?

:D BC I dont think you ever did say yours....:lol

[Spedoinkel]

It's from Cannibal:The Musical...although it is spelled wrong.

[JadeScape]

:hi:

Jade for my fav stone....Scape cause Farscape is my fav show.....see boring....:D

my real name is Shána ....:D

[Spedoinkel]

Umm, my name.

It's not always about you!

[I-am-so-Johns-girl]

:bump:
Good bump g-man :aok:

[Afarscapefan]

What does my Nick mean? I'll give you one, and only one, guess! :D

[JadeScape]

Umm, my name.

It's not always about you!

:eek: Sorry....I thought you were trying to guess mine cause you didnt say my nick means or something like that in the beginning of your post....didnt mean to step on your toes....or something..... :(

[trinamick]

Somehow I doubt Spedoinkel's toes are hurting too bad. Does that avatar look like the work of a serious person? :D

[norweigan_scaper]

umm . . . made up on the spot when i registered for the spaceboard, my father's side of the family is norwegian, and i have this obsession with a show you just might be familiar with ;)

[Owlman]

Owlman:

Funny story.

When I was 8 or so, I came up with a Batman like character, called, Owlman. Over the years, the character changed from a superhero to a normal soldier, to a special forces soldier, to an alien special forces soldier, whose callsign is Owlman. Since it was the first character I created, I started using it for my board name back at Scifi.com.

I did a yahoo search trying to find my fics, and I discovered that Owlman is a comic book character! I had no idea.

Oh, and above my avatar: "The Sensei of Owlitude" is a play on Wrestler Matt Hardy, who is the Sensei of Mattitude.

[norweigan_scaper]

^ the evolution of owlman :)

[Otto the Mild]

It means what it says. I look like an Otto and am quite mild. :rolleyes:

[AnnaSun]

Hi,

My name is Anna and I like Aeryn Sun so I stuck with AnnaSun.

From
Anna Sun
Thanks

[RustySlinky]

I really don't remember how anymore, but it might of had something to do with glo-in-the-dark-plastics.

[gill_za]

Well... I used to play Counter strike a lot with friends in internet clubs and my CS nickname was gill_za which is derived from gil'za which means "Bullet Case" in russian.

[Jim Reaper]

I needed a nickname for when we played Quake on the college network back in '97. Grim Reaper was a touch unoriginal so I went with Jim Reaper, and have used it ever since.

[Spedoinkel]

Somehow I doubt Spedoinkel's toes are hurting too bad. Does that avatar look like the work of a serious person? :D
:mischief:

[Craistine]

For many years I use the name "Christine" whenever I don´t want to divulge my real name. There was no particular reason to chose this name, it was just the first which crossed my mind.
For my nick I wanted a reference to Farscape and since Crais is my favorite character (as you may have noticed...), I thought Craistine is a perfect combination of both names.

[Defect9]

Nickname thread? I figure I'm the most obvious one when it comes to what my nick means. Its my band. there. easy. I'm named after a band i really like, that i produce for, and that i'm the only memeber of. As far as what it means really, I have no idea. It sounded cool. Used to be Manic Opression, when i was less talented, and there was a project i used the band for, and i just sorta named the band after that project, and Its been shortened to "the Defect 9 Project". At one point, the name was Manic Opression's "the Defect 9 Project", but i figured that was getting out of hand. Now its just me. I still go by Manic sometimes, but you can call me Jared. or J. its easier that way.

[I-am-so-Johns-girl]

:bump: Since we have lots of newbies here and some pretty interesting new nics....let's hear your stories!!! :D

[hmissesh]

My real name is Henry.
I terribly miss someone (that frequents this board) with the first initial H.


I always see it and think that someone thinks I am Mrs. H.
:)

[DRD 1812]

Well, this one is self-explanatory. I love 1812. I even have the Overture as my ringtone. But my usual name is zhuuka. I was at a party one evening and drunk off my mind. My friend asked what the tall, glass thing was. I intended to say "It's a hooka." buuuuut it came out "A zhuuka!" It stuck. My real names Kate. ;]. Zhuuka is my AIM, and other MB names.

Another nickname of mine is Fox. Someone started calling me the foxy lady in the net. So, as a goalie? Im Fox.

[matt_boy]

I act kind of corny when under the influence of love. So my friends said anyway, like a little boy, and so they started calling me mattboy.

[Gaussian]

My maiden name is ''Gauss". In my sig you will see that it means "unit of magnetic flux density." (It's in the dictionary!) There is a "degausser" on televisions.

I really believe that John Crichton.......scientist that he is, would know all about "gausses".

[ScaperTeen]

i think mine is pretty obvious....."Scaper" because i am a scaper and a "teen" because i'm 17. really, really, self explanitory.....

[malachilenomade]

There is a "degausser" on televisions.


Also one that you use for "clearing" video tapes at TV stations and the like.

Malachi le nomade is the French version of nomad Malachi (suggested to me by a friend of mine in France).

nomad is because I move around a lot (though have lived here for 7 years :rolleyes: )
Malachi is the name of a rather psychotic character I used to play in D&D (name taken from the character in Children Of The Corn)

Actual name is Brian :aok:

[DRD2001]

You learn something new everyday.

I thought:
malachilenomade
mal = bad
chile = chili
nomad = wanderer

Therefore "Bad chili sent me searching for a restroom"

I'm soooo glad you explained that Brian. :yes: I was really hoping you would reply to this! :roflmao: Your nic was one that really confounded me! :aok:

I'm really enjoying the replies....more please! :D

[malachilenomade]

I'm soooo glad you explained that Brian. :yes: I was really hoping you would reply to this! :roflmao: Your nic was one that really confounded me! :aok:

Edit (since my last reply may have come off as snarky and it wasn't meant to):

What, you thought the same thing as everyone else, huh? :D

[trinamick]

I thought:
malachilenomade

Therefore "Bad chili sent me searching for a restroom"

:roflmao: Apparently, great minds think alike...or have thoughts in the same ballpark.
I thought:
mal = bad
chile = chili
no = no
made = made

I thought it meant he was an excellent chili cook! :lol

(I like yours better, though). :D

That's gotta be the best laugh I'd had in a while... I gotta pass that one on to some friends of mine :D

[I-am-so-Johns-girl]

Are you being sarcastic or serious? :confused: :D

The system wouldn't allow me to use spaces and using the dashes didn't occur to me :headbang:

I though I was being funny! :rolleyes: I did not intend any offence.
:( Like the others...I was trying to decipher your long nic. Your explanation was great! I really enjoyed understanding what your nic meant. :aok:

[malachilenomade]

I edited my previous post... I reread and realised it may have sounded snarky and it wasn't supposed to, SORRY :(

As for the explination of what my name means, I prefer DRD2001's version better :roflmao:

[Lord Loser]

It wouldn't let you use spaces... well don't I feel special...


as for the rest... I thought it was mala chile nomad too...

[BillFrugge]

I kept reading it as Malachi Lemonade. I knew that wasn't it, but that's how I kept seeing it. I kept thinking that it must have something to do with Asimov's Foundation series. If I'd only applied my French...

'Malachi the Nomad.' Neat!

[I-am-so-Johns-girl]

:bump:

[who45]

:bump: for all the newbies.

[I-am-so-Johns-girl]

Good bump whosie! :aok:

Come on you newbies....fess up! :rollin:

[el-halo]

i am el-halo, spanish for...the halo!

[trubador]

awwww... :angelgrin

[freckle]

i thought it was from a clockwork orange??!!

[freckle]

mines is Freckle ,well because i have one or two thousand!

[kymom5613]

hey freckle, I have a lot of them too...Welsh, Irish, Scottish bloodlines make me that way!! I have JUST enough Indian (Cherokee) to have good cheekbones & if I work at it, I can have a good tan...

[Snoogans]

My real name is Scott. Snoogans is from "Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back".

[cybergal]

Mine comes from a really old email server. .cybergal .cyberguy Anyway, I was trying to come up with a handle for another email and everything I tried a the time was taken, so I tried cybergal and it was taken. I was tired so I added a number on the end and it was history after that. I was able to use cybergal at the DOM, so after that anytime I visited a new board that I might return to, I'd sign in as cybergal. So far it's worked pretty well....

Not very exciting, huh? At least it matched up pretty good with the avatar that I'm using here. It's pic from an old vinyl album that I love called Paradise Ballroom by The Adrian Gurvitz Band featuring Graeme Edge (w/Ginger Baker on the drums). The album rocks and the cover art is fabulous. That the one thing I miss about vinyl. The large size cover art.

[Maire]

I'm glad to see this thread about IDs revived because I find it so fascinating to see how much thought has gone into creating most members' ID names. This is definitely a creative bunch!

My ID comes from one of my fav singers, Maire Brennan from Clannad. I chose her name to be my ID because it can be pronounced 2 ways. Pronounced in Gaelic it sounds like "Moya". But if you didn't know that, you might pronounce it like "Mare" which would suit me too since i have horses.

[Lilith]

My name is the name of the woman that is believed to be Adam's original wife (before Eve) in the Book of Genesis. She was cast out of Eden because she refused to submit to Adam, and I picked it because I thought it was a strong name.

[fiona-maria]

Fiona Maria - my name. Fiona is a Scots name, means "the fair one," as in "fair of face." Might have been true once, but I don't think so any more...*smile* My pic is in the scaperjirl/boy calendar, but I don't remember what month I ended up in....

[Col.Batguano]

Mine is a Character from the Movie "Dr. Strangelove “or” How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb" (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0057012/) , Col. Batguano was played by Keenan Wynn.
He was a very minor Character bent on rules and protocol and the only seen he was in was with Peter Sellers as Group Captain Lionel Mandrake, Captain Mandrake is desperately trying to make a phone call that could stop World War 3 - and Col. Batguano was giving him a ration of dren about a bunch of unimportant crap to the situation,
to me the seen was a pretty good some up to John Crichton's situation, and I saw a lot of references in Farscape to the movie and was expecting it in the mini (and was not disappointed).
all Farscape fans should see that Movie, and then rewatch Farscape - Especially the Peace Keeper Wars.

[Mr.Blue]

Well somtimes im Blue like blue... :(
And somtimes im blue like blue... :D

And im a Mr. ... sooo. im Mr.Blue!

[Milaya]

Better later than...
Well, I don't know from where Milaya is.Had never heard it before I start to use it here...Quite creepy.
There's a better story behind the name Green Emerald, my fanfic character...

[Fyodor]

Fyodor is a character from Elaine Cunningham bookseries "Starlight and Shadows"

I chose it because Fyodor is very much like me... if all my characteristics were put on overdrive...
