Sherona

Ok this discussion I had wtih someone was just interesting andI thought I would share, and get other peoples takes. To me choosing a screenname or a nickname is imperative when one is joining a forum or other site. Its people's first insight into you. Just like in real life your physical appearance is peoples first impression (no not n the shallow way) so you wouldn't want to go without baths/showers for long periods of time, go without combing your hair, or washing your face. This would put out to people yur a slob.

The same with a name on a forum. Having a name on a forum is how people will associate you wtih things. Example, if I were to sign up for Elliquiy wtih "Malicious maelvolent Sherona" That would make people think that i am Malicious and Maelvolent rather then the sometimes snarky, but hopefully helpful Sherona that I am.

I chose Sherona because the name is pretty (imo) and seems..softer then my real name, and really emphasises a gentle nature.

Cherri Tart

When i was in HS, some friends and I decided that we were going to be in a punk band.  We'll, we had the name and the clothes and really, pretty much everything we needed, except none of us were musicians.  Of course, that didn't stop us!  So, taking a que from the Ramones, we were The Tarts and each of us took on the last name of Tart... i was Cherri, obviously, cause i thought it was sexy and sort of cute and it has stuck with me thru the years - so, needing a sexy and kind of cute name for E, it was an easy choice. :)

HairyHeretic

The nickname of The Hairy Heretic was bestowed upon me by a friend some years ago. Hairy, for reasons that would be obvious if you saw me .. not many guys around with hair down to their hips, and Heretic for my choice of wargaming army (Chaos, in everything GW puts out). I took it for my own, and have used it as a sign on in pretty much any forum I frequent.

MagicalPen

Silvestine was the name of the very first character I ever played...online, never played tabletop. Originally created for purposes of gaming etc, though he isn't a character I use very much anymore. For those i know not through gaming, and ask me how i came up with my name, I tell them its the initials of all my friends i left in England. The funny thing is, it works too! Sam, Ian, Leonard, Vernon, Ewan, Steven, Timmy, Igor (yes, i knew an igor), Nick, and Edward. Of course, its not all my friends i knew back than (Peter and Richard, for example, are left out).

Kye

Kyrsa is the name of my favorite character from a tabletop game that a friend ran a few years ago.  I had more fun playing her than I have with any of my characters since, she also helped me discover a number of things about myself that I didn't know.  Now she is my online persona for pretty much everything, though I don't use the actual character online at all, somehow I think that would diminish the character for me now *shrug* 

This is also the name I use when submitting my writing to publishing companies :P

Kalen

Kalen is, like many others, the name of a favorite character I had played, back on RPOL.  Even before that, I stole the name from a singer.  I wanted something similar to my own first name, unique and to the point, without getting overly complex or snooty.

Paradox

I originally used my real name. I prefer to be as honest and forthright in all areas of my life, so I applied that to this site as well.

After a while, I realized that using my actual first name wasn't such a good idea; consequently, I decided to use an abstract concept instead. It's the same reason that I don't use a person for my avatar. Instead of basing things on a picture or name of someone who I bear no relation to, I would much rather have the people here come to know me for the stories I write and the conversations we have.

Caeli

I was trying to choose between my usual online alias, or some other yet-unchosen screen name, when I first wanted to register on this site. I wanted a name that reflected a part of my personality, but was also 'pretty' and 'innocent' - two words that, at least at this point in my life, describe me fairly well, as far as sexual experience goes.

I'm a romantic and a dreamer, and I don't try to hide it. I've also always had a fascination for skies, stars, and the heavens - I'm agnostic, and while I don't believe in any single religion, I do believe that there are gods out there. Eventually, with these thoughts in mind, I went hunting around on an etymology site, and came up with my name for Elliquiy.

Caeli is a shortened form of Caelestis, from a Late Latin name that meant "of the sky, heavenly."
Aisling means "dream" or "vision" in Irish Gaelic.

Thus, Caeli Aisling, or heavenly dreamer.

WyldRanger

Xana Cenad was a bard in an adventure in 3rd Edition D&D, that we played for just over 3 years. And since this is mostly a roleplay area I decided this names would be perfect  :)

Captain Maltese

I choose Captain Calico because there's a certain Arrrrh. a rogue charm about i. Pulling a bit of rank, too.


Captain Calico is an actual, historical figure. Captain Calico Jack was a somewhat succesfull but to me more essential, colorful pirate. The name Calico is from the cheap, dyed cotton fabrics he had his clothes made for - apparently he was something of a parrot. But his bigger claim to fame comes from being the one captain that had two female pirates aboard that matched him in courage and then some; Anne Bonny and Mary Read. Read their full story at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calico_Jack and click on the names of the ladies too. The captain was eventually hanged while Anne spited him.

So....I didn't choose the name of a hero, or a winner, or maybe not the smartest man in the world. But he was an adventurer, he did bold deeds, evidently he had some charm with women, and he is remembered while all the honest heroes who fought for good in his day are forgotten. I like the old bandit.

King_Furby

I probably should have used something else, but at the time i joined this site i honestly didn't think it was for me so i just used something i was famalier with so i would not forget. I had a small guild for a online shooting game were me and some friends all went with the furby theme as user names. But i did end of loving this place and i didn't want to change it after i was already established here. Not the usuall story but i do like this place.

The Great Triangle

I chose my name since I really like non euclidean triangles, and since using the name of a person would probably make people try to interact with me on a personal level.  :)

The "Great" part of the name recalls the Bermuda triangle, something I only particularly like because it happens to be a non euclidean triangle and a funny alternate location for R'yleh.  On the other hand, who doesn't want to be great online, and the GT nickname has something of a ring to it.

Tant de Tentation

#12
'Tant de tentation' is a phrase I love for its meaning ('so much temptation'--sexy!) and its euphony (it's pronounced tahnt de tahntassyon, more or less, so it almost-sort-of rhymes).  It's also a frequent messenger handle I've used.  And it conveys my pretentious love of the French language. ^.^  And my pretension in general.

ShrowdedPoet

Well, my name here isn't as old as my name that I usually use.  The name I usually use is Raineyes, came from a poem that I wrote, about five years ago.  I had a friend even draw me a picture of Raineyes.  But recently, bout a year ago, I desided that name no longer fit me and ShrowdedPoet came to me.  Shrowded, because not very many people know me, no matter how long they're known me.  So I like to think I'm pretty shrowded in mystery.  And the Poet part is simply that I'm a poet.  I haven't written much in a while, been going through a horrible writers block for about 3 years.  But I'm working through it.

chronosmaker

Guess I'll post.

I originally used Deathra or Deathra1990 for my activities. Wayyy long ago when I was like 8 or something and not very bright. I like egyptian things, as per the 'ra' and Anubis was taken so I just used death. 1990 is the year I was born. I went through a few other names, most never sticking before I got to Pyro Flammora, or PyroFlammora when spaces can't be used. It was a name given to me by a now gone friend(In the sense that she no longer talks to me...) but it stuck. I guess it was just cause of my love for firey things and given a small name like quality. Finally it changed to Chronos Maker, or in the case when no spaces are allowed, chronosmaker since remember upper case is annoying sometimes. Chronos because I always liked the concept of time, hence 'chrono' just followed by an s to give a name like quality, and Maker because I sucked at making names and I liked making things in any form, writing or not. And so far that one has stuck.

Ignaddio

#18
Ignaddio was the name of an incidental character in "The Golden Key," a collaboration from Melanie Rawn, Jennifer Roberson, and Kate Elliott. I'm not terribly good at names, so early on when I needed a name for a character I would open a handy but not mainstream fantasy book and pick one at random, so long as it wasn't a main character.

I've used the name Ignaddio for mostly artistic characters, so I figured it would make a good forum screen name for a forum requiring me to be creative.

Edit: Fixed a spelling error.

Gathering Wilderness

'Tis a line in a mournful and beautiful song by the band Primordial that I can recite almost word for word.

   "You say you know me... I'm the poison in your veins.
My faith is not welcome here.. I break the young and the bold
There is a darkness here, you cannot imagine, you cannot fathom.
It speaks to me in tongues, can you hear it? Can you hear it!?"

   "I've built my my tower of song with words as bitter, splintered bone.
Oh, gnarled and wretched, spiteful and harsh.
I've cursed the vermin, the vermin of the earth.
I've wished pestilence upon the foul and weak.
Not just men, but women and children too, with a rusted blade across their throats."

   "I've played the tyrant's hand, against the rhyme and reason of fools
I've prayed to sickly children in their blackened cities of filth.
You say you know me? Do you? My faith, it is not welcome here."

"...The Wilderness is gathering all its children in."


"The ghosts of our pasts are gathered at the borders of every nation waiting to reign a terrible wrath upon us. Men's Hearts are turning.
Darker and darker as every day passes. Old Europe is changing, the world is changing. The Wilderness is Gathering its children in, there is
terrible maelstrom Gathering. Can you see it? Do you know it? Where shall you stand."


   


Ket

My name is rather simplistic actually.  It's just the old Norse form of my real name.

Composed of the elements ketill - meaning cauldron or kettle, and fríðr - meaning beautiful.
she wears strength and darkness equally well, the girl has always been half goddess, half hell

Apple of Eris

My name is sort of an ironic statement, I like entropy, i like the whole discordian joke/religion, and I like Eris.

I also happen to be a lawyer.

So I figured, what better name for someone who practices law than to be the arch weapon of a goddess opposed to law & order?

Stories I'm Seeking

Cthulhu

When I register for a forum, I want to find people who are like me. So I chose a username that reflects what I like.

I love Lovecraft, so I chose a name other Lovecraft fans would recognise. If I'm lucky, in small communities like here and Roliana, Cthulhu is still available, if not, I go with "The colour out of space", as it's the title of my fave story by him.

Aelfric

While Aelfric is the sig I use most often for rp sites, it was not chosen for any particular reason aside from the fact that I enjoyed the sound of the name. Only later did I discover it's meaning, for which my fondness for it grew: Aelf(Elf)ric(King).

I do agree that much is couched in a name, and unfortunately for some, leads to assumptions regarding the person/quality/intent.

*grins*

Also for the record, when I first saw Apple's name, back when it was written without spaces, my mind crunched it into 'Apple-of-Fenris' for which her Anarchy-symbol avatar seemed most appropriate. 'Apple of Eris' is also nice though... ;)
You change all the lead sleeping in my head to gold. - Tunnels, Arcade Fire

Maeven

I actually echo Aelfric's reasoning here.  I've been using Maeven for a few years as a handle in various online environments.  I just liked the sound of the name: soft and gentle. It's a variation on the word maven of course.  I added the extra 'e' because I have this weird fondness for the look of the letter sequence 'ae'.  I cannot explain that.  Maybe its the upside-down symmetry of the two letters that I find intriguing...

Later I discovered the word maven derives from the Hebrew word for understanding.  And like Aelfric, I grew even more attached to the name.

Xillen

#25
I usually use my first name about anywhere on the web, but since I'm very traceable (just hover your mouse over my messengers to see my first name) due to my name's uniqueness, it didn't feel very smart to do for an Adult site, so I'm not including my first name here on E on the places that are googleable.

Actually, I just googled my first name again, just for the heck of it, and there's a LOT more nonsense around now with my name in it. I'm still referred to on 1st, 3rd, 5th, 6th and 7th from my computer, though. so I'll just stick to my nickname.

There's no real meaning to my name as far as I know. It's just a random name that might have a tad of mystery sounding through it. For those that wonder how to pronounce it (I thought it was obvious, but several people have asked me about it), it's Ksi-lun, with the emphasis on the i.

And I fully agree, it's the name (sometimes combined with the avatar) that indicate what people remember you by, as they have not much else to go on.

Paradox

That K is confusing.

I've always pronounced it zeye-lun, emphesis on the "eye" as prononounced like the ones in your head...

The Overlord


Back around c. 1990, well before internet gaming took off, the first public LAN gaming and entertainment was offered by Virtual World Entertainment, which put out Battletech and Red Planet cockpit simulators. As VWE came out of Chicago my old stomping grounds, I was there at the rise of this new gaming platform. I was a Battletech fan for some time before that, and in BT lore the Overlord-class dropship is a massive combat vessel, designed to inflict planetary scale mech warfare. Too cool to not name something after it, and I've been using it for the past 18 years.

Operation Overlord- Also known as Normandy, the greatest coastal invasion in history as the Allies smashed into the Third Reich's Atlantic Wall.

Viking overlords sent their marauders into battle in those days; a tribute to the Scandinavian blood in my veins.

I know what you mean...he does say "Celia" a lot in the song, but the proper title is "Cecilia".  I had to look it up, too.

I use Caity because I just think that Kate or any variation thereof is the sexiest female name ever. 
Not sure why.... just one of those things you pick up along the way.


I do really like my real name though.  :)

Mine is far too simple really, not too long ago I decided I needed a new nickname for the interwebs. At the time I was just on a game, about to join a new server and I just thought: "I'm just some random bloke to them." and there you go. RandomBloke.

Lilias

Lilias is one of the characters I created for Yahoo roleplays a couple of years ago. I'm not telling you what kind of character she was, because I don't want to be identified just with her. It's a quirky name, unlikely to be already taken by someone else, and I admit it gets me some attention to start with.

To know the dark, go dark. Go without sight,
and find that the dark, too, blooms and sings,

Plus I like epic poetry. Real poetry not that free-verse junk. (It's too much like modern art XP)

Inkidu (Also spelled like I had it earlier, inkedu. This is just more phonetically correct.) was the sidekick to Gilgamesh in the Sumerian epic poem. Ready for it? The Epic of Gilgamesh

Zaer Darkwail

PLainly said Zaer Darkwail was the name of the characther in 'Elven maids vs Barbarians' game in Rpol so when game transfered here I decided use it so the small elliquiy recognized who I was. But reason why such name for characther?

Zaer sounded something evil, mean and cool. Darkwail then something emotional and dark. All suited for my dom warlock who liked use black energy tentacles wrap up elf maids and ravage them and tame to be his slaves.

But my usual online names at moment are Kazzaroth or Kazeira. Kazzaroth comes from bending 'Sephiroth' name with my FF7 game char (wanted similar name like Sephiroth but not same, then my mind came special limit break 2 category called Climhazzard or something and decided 'Kazza' sounded cool name and just added 'roth' after it). Kazeira borned from sort version of first name; Kaz. But I wanted it to be five letter word so I added 'eira' to add more words to it and 'eira' sounds more lighter and aerial than 'kazza' which sounds heavy to me.

Aiden

I usually stick to using my middle name (Angel) but "Aiden" is a character I created on a different Rp Forum. I liked it so much I started using the SN Aiden, I actually prefer to be called Aiden over Angel by my friends and family.
(I do not let them use my first name, since it is confusing, my dad has the same name and when we are both around things get confusing)

King_Furby

I just picked something familer, king_furby was my name in a guild i was part of in a FPS that i no longer play. But i honestly didn't think i would like this place so i just picked something i could remember. But i am glad i ended up likeing it here. My name is established here so i don't want to change it.

I have a silly name and i don't like to act to serious. But i do take my RPing as a serious hobby. Too bad all my games are just crawling.

King

I chose my screen name as a play on words. Seeking, and my initial and my last name together. C. King. I don't know why, but I like how it works out.

And I didn't want to go like a normally do and just go with King. It just seemed like I might come off as arrogant or cocky or something here. Didn't want that to happen.

Paradox

Oooooh.

I always thought you were referring to that old Pokemon franchise. It had a creature called "seaking".

Seeing as that's not the case, I apologize for all those times I said "fuck yeah, ceeking!"

Caehlim

Caehlim is an anagram of Michael, my name. It's an old one that I used to use on IRC chat and when I found elliquiy, out of the many psuedonyms I use it just lept into my head. It's more personal for me than a descriptor of words and I can connect to it more strongly.
My home is not a place, it is people.

Silver

Silver is my favorite color since about age 12, then people just started calling me it. It was normally. Silverchild, which all of my messengers have but about a year or two ago I shortened it. *shrugs* Nothing mind blowing about that.

Zoe Twinscythe

Zeon Twilight is simply a name that popped into my head one day while playing Suikoden 2 back when I was about 15 or 16, It's technically a shortened form of "Zeon of the Twilight Blade" Since most forums don't fit that and it's a bit messy.

It's got nothing to do with Gundam.

As far as the "Image" that it brings to people's mind, I have no idea. I like to think it's more intersting than a username like "Iliketacos267" so if it is, it's doing it's job.

Paradox

For some reason, as I've told you before. "Zeon Twilight" made me think you were a woman until the day you were approved.

Zoe Twinscythe

Yeah, you'd be the first that I know of on that bandwagon Paradox, but hey, no harm done, I have RP'ed a lady or two, so maybe it's become part of my energy or something, who knows?

Haibane

When I joined E I chose a username that I have on another forum which was also a character name in an RP. After 24 hours here and while still unapproved I had a sudden embarrassment/guilt fit that someone on here might know me from on there and I asked an admin to change it. I seriously panicked and plucked this name out of thin air in 10 seconds after glancing up above my 'puter to a bookshelf that has my anime collection on it.

Haibane Renmei is a beautiful anime series, very mellow and gentle and introspective. Emotional and confusing, a little uncertain of itself and mixed up. Rather spiritual too. Not only does the word sound nice and sound feminine the mood of the anime fits my character too.

I use Caity because I just think that Kate or any variation thereof is the sexiest female name ever. 
Not sure why.... just one of those things you pick up along the way.
Well, well, well, it happens to be my name too  ;D

Kate

King

...hey, I'll just use that one, too, Paradox. Seaking was one of my favorite Pokemon when I played those little Gameboy games, so that would work! haha

DarkestStryke

Names.. hmm.. difficult things to choose when we really need them, well at least it is for me. This particular name is a variant on one I use on most forums and things I sign up for on the internet, and is one I have grown into. Part of it is the name of a character from a book that I read on my first, and so far only, trip to America. The other part is not offering thoughts of evil and maliciousness, but simply the fact that it hasn't found the light yet.
