What's in a Name? (page 3)

Frannie Banannie

I was "crowned" Frannie Banannie, Queen of Franistan, by Country Girl....maybe cause I have a "bananas" sense of humor...heh.....anyway, it stuck....and I've even managed to find a new avatar that suits my pseudonym, dontcha think?

Frannie B

Smyler

My grade primary, (or kindergarten, for some of you Americans!) teacher always called me Tyler Smyler. I couldn't think of a better name to register, so used it

morty

well, morton is my last name and 68 is the year I was born....

It was a tough one to come with....

actually really did not plan on sticking around, so I did not put much thought into it...needless to say, I was wrong, and I wish I had done something else now

larc

Well, my name is Carl, and Lare are the same letters, just turned around. I like Larc because it is whimsical and I like to joke around.

Country Girl

<chants> Fraaaannnnie: Go bananas! Go go bananas!

My name is because I live in the country and I'm a girl. Heh. Original, huh?

CG

smack

I'm smack

you can work it out yourself

Steve

Tasmanian Overbeer

Mackintosh

avishai

Middle name, Hebrew spelling.

searcher

I set myself a project researching the history of religious practices, looking around the net I found JWD (comparing the differences in various groups/faiths) and registered.

I was asked for my 'nickname' and thought I had to have one, so I came up with 'searcher' as part of 'researcher', not very origional, but since then, I use it everywhere.

I made some good friends here as I got addicted to chat so I stuck around.

CountryGuy

Ummm... yeah.... Same as Country_Woman and Country Girl:

I'm a guy. And, I live in the country. It's also been my AOL screen name for years.

asleif_dufansdottir

I used to be pretty active in the Society for Creative Anachronism http://www.sca.org/ (lots of folks who like swords there, Thunder)

SCA members pick a "personna," a person who could have lived between the 6th and the 16th centuries, find an authentic name (but not the name of a person who actually existed that is known to history), research the time period and stuff...

Asleif (Ahz-layf) Dufansdottir is an authentic Norse name from the 9th century. I liked the first name and the surname is based on the Norse translation of my real dad's name.

I use it a lot on the web.

When I'm being really naughty, my SCA friends call me Ozzie Ozzbjornsdottir... (which is, of course, not an authentic name)
