How did you come up with your screen name?

[Nephylim]

Genesis. 6 for a start. The Sons of God saw the daughters of men and saw they were fair and the came down and ... erm.... bought them flowers and chocolate. It's also touched on in the story of Moses.... the comments about his mother and his appearance.

 

It's considerably and, in my eyes, in a very prejudiced way in the Book of Enoch which expands on this idea. It's one of the Gnostic texts ie ones that didn't make it into the bible

 

History makes the winners.

 

Sorry I forgot to mention specifically that they are not actually called Nephylim in the King James Bible but the name is referenced in the Jewish scripts

[Hamen Cheese]

Ooh okay hehe. Probably why I've never heard it spoken in mass and such before. I think I'd notice if the priest suddenly "And thus they punished Nephylim for she is evil..."

[Caedus]

Caedus is a character in a series of books. He's a hero who chooses to become a monster in the eyes of everyone because the horrible actions he made - sacrifices he made for the greater good. I liked him because he has all these contrasts as a character. He's cold and analytical, yet quick to rage and can be pretty vindictive. He's just one big bag of irony and contradictions..

Really? They've never said that? Damn I am insulted now. Clearly I haven't been evil enough

[Tristan]

Tristan is a character in a story that I have been trying to write, he was the main character but has since using it as my user name i've become so sick of it that he has been downgraded to a background character

 

I've always also love the Arthurian story of Tristan and Isolde

[Krista]

Krista is a nickname that I started in school to get away from my very common first name that I don't like that much...

[Tommy_B]

I am a bee employed by the British army..... that makes me a tommy_b

[Andrew Q Gordon]

I would that it was something witty and amazing insightful like some - [Nephylim you amaze me more and more with everything you write!]

 

Quonus was a character - a not so nice one [really evil actually] - in short story I wrote for a class. 10 is 2010 - as if ANYONE else was going to Use Quonus that I needed to add number right? I wanted it to be fairly anonymous on account of work - not that I should worry too much, I doubt the criminals I lock up read this site but still.

chase is my real name, that boy is just to inform you I am indeed a boy (I MEAN MAN /flex)

Should be thatstudChase.

[Julian Alexander]

My handle, Julian Alexander, came from the name my mum wanted for me. But my dad outvoted her. I still have some connection with the first part since my actual first name is a derivation of Julian.

[Hoskins]

I pulled a name out of the thin air. Nothing special about it, just didn't want a name that had any connection IRL.

[TetRefine]

Mine is kinda dumb. But at the time I registered here, I was an avid Tetris player, hence the shortened Tet. I was watching some news report about refineries in the Middle East, so I got Refine. I put the two together and got TetRefine.

[Leicht]

I took it from Mercedes Benz's SL ancronym which means Sportlich Leicht (Sporty and Light)

[DragonMando]

DragonMando (dragon_mando on most other sites) is a combination of two of my obsessions: Dragons (obviously) and Mandalorians, a warrior race from Star Wars

[Amelia]

Its my name. I work with kids all day, and sometimes my creativity gets all used up. The night I finished reading one of Dom's stories at 4 or 5 am and decided to create an account before work must have been one of those times.

[Rizan]

Rizan is actually the name of a friend of mine from Italy. We met on a game I play online and after a year I was like "I love your name so I'm taking it" and so then we started calling each other the other's name...so he's Paul and I'm Rizan. And that is how that happened. Also, I'm debating changing my username to Noctis, in which case my name will be after the main character in Final Fantasy Versus XIII.

 

As a coaster enthusiast, I took my screen name from a coaster. There is four photo's in my gallery,

Have you ever been on the X2 at Magic Mountain? Best experience ever.

[Arpeggio]

I've played piano formally since I was five. But I surprised my teachers (and students when I switched to a performing arts school) for how well I could play my arpeggios.

 

I was known as the arpeggiator

 

Arpeggio just sounds nicer ^^

I know there's something wrong

[Tom]

My name started out as just 'lostone' mainly because I was very lost inside myself for a very long time and the depression I was dealing with made me feel like I was the only one

 

The more I hung around here the the less lost I was and this community definitely made me feel like a part of something. In short, I use my name, but I think it's important to remember who I thought I was so I tacked the old me on the end

 

Hugs,

Tom

 

P.S. I feel the need to thank Myr and the rest of the admins for providing such a wonderful haven for all us troubled souls

[Douw]

Douw is one of my middle names so that explains it lol hmm i will be changing it to Sienata soon

[Kev de Cauchery]

Kevin.. my English name since grade school. (Well, didn't have one,obviously, before that.)

 

Caucher.. Well, one of the guys I used to date had a screen name "Gaucher". I loved it, the spelling and stuff so I created one "Caucher" (later I found out a surname of French descent.) But I haven't used Caucher until I joined GA.
