your screenname

[tapestrybabe]

my official screen name is tapestrybabe...
i've been using it ever since 1999...

i just thought up this ID cuz i'm into tapestry weaving...
and i was just curious how everyone else here chose their yw screen name??

[Erendani]

Tapestry weaving sounds hard.

My screen name is derived from the name of a star. It might also sound a bit familiar to fans of the "BattleTech" universe.

[BeTheReds]

I have many screen names

AOL instant messenger: Gunmo3 (from Kpop singer Kim Gun Mo, and I like his 3rd Album) I had it since 1997.
geocities: hugeeuge
Yahoo: yujinishuge

Yellowworld: BeTheReds is from Be The Reds, from the red t-shirt that supporters of the Korean soccer team wore.

[Chris]

Mines is sfkazekun78

sf = san francisco
kaze = wind
kun = guy
78 = my birth year.

had it since 1996.

[threemileisle]

threemileisle.

from three mile island. too many characters. then.. in a sudden flash of insight.. i realized that island could be shortened to isle, thus rhyming with mile.

[princess]

yw: princess

its one of my nicknames. princess, lyrical princess. im actually not even really the picture of a prissy princess, so its just kinda ironic.

[rakovlam]

rak = rack
ov = of
lam = you go take a good guess

hint: yum!

[LoneSwordsman]

hmm...
Lone = i like to be by myself at times
Swordsman = big fan of martials arts movies

[Napoleon Chynamite]

Frozen Pizza - looking for someone to make me hot and ready (person must also be hot)


In all seriousness, it's just some random thing I decided b/c I did not plan on sticking around for long.... :P

[princess]

but then we got ya hooked :)

[ChairmanMah]

fren answered phone w/ my sn one day, spontaneously i think.

[contra_diction]

contra_diction was contrived to indicate my philosophy on words. i'm against them, kind of contradictory considering my most-desired pasttime (rhyme). not being hypocritical, rather just trying to represent how misunderstood i always end up being. this is accomplished through my screenname.

[kimpossible]

Smoked too much crack before logging in.

Really though, I think I wanted just wanted to be up front that I was only part Asian. Some Asians aren't comfortable with that so I thought it would be a good way to feel it out. You know, in case they wanted to run my white ass off the site. I might have also been looking at my Hello Kitty stationary on my desk at the time.

[AznYam]

i was drunk and eating yams with my friends.

[moschikat]

moschikat

moschino = what i usually smell like
kat = duh.

(no, i don't come when you start to call "pussy pussy pussy" -- so i'm a label whore - get over it!) :lol:

[kasia]

i was thinking of the way my grandparents say my name: "kasie-ah" :) hehehe.

for some reason, though, i don't think that's how most people read my screenname. i think many people pronounce it "ka-sha"...someone commented on how it sounded like a name for a pornstar :blink:

[VV o n g B a]

wongba = turtle

used with egg, its a curse word. i used it back in my quake days.

[angel nympho]

It was a joke.

hah, until I knew your name I always figured "kasia" was supposed to be read as rhyming with "Asia."

my YW screenname is an old joke about cheating affirmative action in Malaysia. actually an uncle of mine used to run such an "Ali Baba company" - staffed all by Chinese ("baba") but with an ethnic Malay frontman ("Ali") as the de jure owner so as to qualify as "bumiputra-owned" company and get advantages in government contracting.

But since there's so few Malaysians here, everyone just thinks of Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves or something like that. that's cool too, I guess.

That what I thought you meant. But I never ask you. it so funny. But then again only a Malaysian would be so underminded to do that to qualify for bumiputra status. <_<

[FongOlogy]

Mr Fong.

[AltimaGTR]

I drive a (Nissan) Altima + I would like a (Skyline) GTR...& no I didn't say anything about having a "GTR" emblem on mai car... :unsure:

[Hito]

My sister gave me my name Hitoshi
Since then i have gone by that or some variant of Hito in most electronic venues.

Except ICQ where i am "Z`ha`lud" which is a name i made from my 2 favorite science fiction universes.

Za'ha'dum: homeworld of "The Shadows" in Babylon 5
Shai-Hulud: The Fremen name for the giant sandworms in the DUNE series

Of all the phonemes that native speakers of Asiatic languages supposedly aren't able to pronounce well, none of them hold a candle to 'ip.' As in Philip. My parents (along with 90% of their friends) resort to calling me 'Philll-AH'.

Then there's my grandma who has her own unique variation. 'Feeelllah-poo.'

The real reason I prefer Phil.. revealed..

[bigwong235]

bigwong = nickname i've had since 5th grade.

235 = random numbers aol gave me when registered for a sn.

[Aznsixian]

sixian - short for sixiang, thought in chinese
my mind runs deep in all things that i think about so i thought it'd be a good sn... that and i couldn't think of anything else :D

[thaite]

I think I was in a contest for "Dumbest Screen Name Ever."

[tvbdude]

tvb-comes from the most popular tv station in Hong Kong. I'm obsessed with their tv series.

dude-cuz I'm a guy

[BaiginLong]

with my messed up pingyin
Bai = White
Gin = Gold (I think this was the one I did wrong)
Long = Dragon
White Gold in Chinese is essentially equivalent to Platinum so BaiginLong = Platinum Dragon
my AIM screen name well the one you see was supposed to be a warped version of Eternal + Dragon
then I have about 3 other screen names
you can tell I like dragons heh

[Adaon]

Adaon's the name of a Bard from the Prydain Chronicle series of books by Lloyd Alexander....he was a warrior bard who saw the future in his dreams....in my really really clear dreams I've seen things happen that have come true....haven't had one of those weird freakish dreams NOT come true yet.... :blink: :unsure:

[himura-dono]

aim = yellow tmuyo

yellow as in huang in mandarin slang for pervert...

tmuyo as a shortened version of tenchi muyo, the anime i was obsessed for before kenshin.


yw = himura-dono

it's kenshin j00 f00!

[537]

537 - Old pager code.

The original way to translate numbers to words was to turn them upside down.

537 upside down = Les.

baba as in baba nonya right?

[SunWuKong]

Sun Wu Kung (that's in mandarin chinese) is the name of a main character in a chinese epic Xi You Ji - approximiately pronounced "shi yow jee" (the english name is Journey To The West). Sun Wu Kung was the king of monkeys and he had extraordinary powers. that's why some people around here call me MK - Monkey King.

[amietron]

My name is Amy. I have Megatron sheets and thought "tron" sounded pretty frikken cool. Put 2 and 2 together. I thought Amytron looked funny. My friend Lester always spelled my name Amie, so I thought that'd be a nice alternative. Amietron.

On Saturday, on our way to Fisherman's Wharf (I think), we saw a restaurant with the name Sun Wu Kong, I think. Do you suppose it's meant to be the same thing?

[blkazngirl]

Dad's Chinese, mother's Black American. Had to represent both cultures. :dance:

i was copying irene :ph34r:

[mizkisses]

my AIM screen name is am0ureux. it means "in love" in french. that's about it.

as for my YW name which is also my livejournal name...it came from my old AIM screen name that used to be lilaznkisses and my guy friend called me ms. kisses because of it and it stuck.

hello. i'm mizkisses.

[babysakura]

when i was in high school, my friend's called me baby, just cuz i was 3 years younger than everyone else in my class. i used to be a dancer and there was this time i was doing a break dance item at this concert and a couple of my friends saw me ...when i was 14.. and at that time this sitcom "blossom" was really popular ..and the starting of the show was where blossom came out and danced like crazy.. so they called me blossom. i used to use the nick babyblossom, then i started japanese classes and found out that blossom meant sakura in japanese.. so hence, babysakura :)

[Hanuman]

I wanted just plain Tawee, but Tawee was taken (by who, I don't know :confused: ) So I wanted something that my friends could remember easily, and I thought Taweeman, like superman.

I sucks when people who don't know me are like, "why do they call you 'da weeman?' is that a hint?" So I'm not too crazy about it now, but I don't want to change it either cause I've had this SN and email for like 6 years now.

so glad you stuck around. hube. :dance:


huge fiona apple fan.
just like grateful dead fans are called dead heads.
ya know?

[maldito]

maldito is what my Filipino grandmother called me since I was such a stubborn kid, a rascal, always getting into trouble. For Filiipinos and Mexicans "maldito" can be affectionate but for other Hispanics esp. Central Americans it's offensive, b/c it means "dammed" or something like "ill-mannered".

[ism]

Used to go by "binky the almighty" on BBS's but then I got on the net in 1993 and got a shell account. Most Unices don't accept spaces or login names that long so I had to come up with something quick. I was trying to think of a good idea, and "idea" is what stuck in my head, but that sounded dumb, so I just took "ism" instead. On most sites, I claim it if I can (Slashdot, everything2), but it is fairly common, a problem I ran into when I tried registering it for AIM. I wanted plain ism but that was taken so I had to settle with just ism. I didn't realize it would be a pain in the ass to convey via speech, "it's just ism, no, including the word just, that's j-u-s-t-i-s-m..." Seems there's a lot of regret in this topic. =)

[kitty]

i used to go by emily, which is not my real name, but a name of a cartoon character my friend made based on me. but... that gets old quick because everyone thinks it's my real name.

then, i got into emily the strange gear (an online comic which sells lot's of cool shirts, hoodies, etc...) and the main character emily has four cats who are always on the clothes i buy. so i sorta became kittygirl.

[Shuriken]

This is from the site "Traditional Japanese Weapons":

The Shuriken: The word shuriken means "a dagger hidden in a palm," so all daggers small enough to hide in a palm were called by this name. They have many variety in their shape and usage. Some are starlike shaped, and thrown with spin. Some other are needlelike shaped, and thrown just like a throwing dagger. Though a shuriken can hardly penetrate armor protection, it was enough because ninja threw it at unarmed target mainly. Venom was used with shuriken normally.

Yeah, that describes me: small and venomous... :lol:

"Shuriken" most commonly means the star-like blade that is "thrown with a spin." Shuriken are also sometimes called "ninja throwing stars." I have a picture of one for my avatar. I also like the way the word is pronounced in English: SHURR-ih-ken. It has a nice ring to it...

[Shuriken]

Since you say you're Cantonese, I'm guessing that "Lam" might be your surname...

[KiTTY2babe]

Why KiTTY2babe?

This was coined back in 1998 by me and one of them ex boiz. He used to call me "babe" a lot, and then I happened to love kitties. So put two together and then that's what you get.

[ellsworth81]

ellsworth

from The Fountainhead ... Ellsworth Toohey ... that book changed my outlook on everything. Also, Ellsworth (Laurence Fishburne) is the main black gangster in the movie "Hoodlum". So I think it represents a number of my interests in a nutshell.

i think you can guess the 81 part

[Elizabeth A.]

Elizabeth is my name, and "A" is my middle initial. Pretty straightforward.

[artsfartsyjanet]

artsfartsyjanet = I just like artistic expression that convey many different human conditions. I give art, I receive art. I breathe it.

[DonDaBomb2]

Mine's pretty self explanatory. My name's Don and I'm da bomb! :) Hehe, it's just a nickname that stuck around from my high school days and is also my AIM screenname.

[mr. x]

Mr. X, its nice and mysterious, as is the asian culture (sarcasm)

also, my avatar is an episode of the simpsons where homer called himself Mr. X on the internet

[Commando_turned_MD]

Army Commando= spent 7 years in Special Forces (8 years in the Army), commission officer

Turned=swap BDU for scrubs,

Doctor=student doctor @ UCLA..

[achtungbaby]

achtungbaby = the album by U2

[DragonKnight]

DragonKnight is this one character in this story I was writing up. No relation to the anime, btw. ;)

[ChinaLama]

This is gonna be controversial. But...ChinaLama b/c when I was in hs, i was a fervert Chinese nationalist, and i hated how the media portrayed Tibet as a pristine paradise until the Evil Commies came and ruined it. for gods sake, i thought, Tibet is a THEOCRACY. How can any American be so IN LOVE w/ a country whose gov't system we Constitutionally CANNOT accept. Plus, what's so appealing about men who claim to be gods? (granted supposedly the majority of Americans BELIEVE in a Man who said he was God). And didn't we get rid of the idea of serf societies hundreds of years ago? yet we're supporting a serf society ruled by priests as basically the Earthly ideal!

Well, anyway, ChinaLama came much later b/c i was reminescing on some old views i held, and well...actually just cuz it has a nice sound. :)

Ok...back on topic. Lama = rulers of Tibet. ChinaLama = China should rule the Lamas. :)

[Fireblade]

Fireblade is actually a reference in the bible about a flaming sword that seperates Adam and Eve from the garden of Eden.

It used to be Fireblade Angel, but because too many dumbasses think that if you add "angel" you're a girl, so I cut that, since I don't want to be mistaken for a chick.

[Miss_Apes]

Miss Apes

Miss .. because .. I'm a Miss

Apes, short for my real name. =)

[purezero]

tiramisu (n.) a dessert of cake infused with a liquid such as coffee or rum, layered with a rich cheese filling, and topped with grated chocolate; derived from tira mi sù meaning pick me up

I love the stuff.

Other than that, I made it after watching Tiramisu staring Nicholas Tse. I liked the music from that movie.

The "12" for the "r" doesn't really mean anything. I kind of regret putting it there, it looks a little funny to me.

[snuffles]

snuffles = those cute bears made by gund that i look like hunchbacked polarbears....

first discovered them in high school when this guy i had a crush on gave me one for my bday :) *giggle*

since then, they've multiplied and now hang around with me everywhere i go... got some at home, some in my car, some in the office... that and i like placing them on my head to give me some extra brainpower when i'm stuck on a problem at work... and they make great footballs if you poke in their arms and legs... and they have REALLY soft fur... and they're really cuddly... and they're SOOO cute :)

[Azn Retribution]

I picked a cool sounding word and put AzN in front of it.

ie. AzN Retribution, AzN Scion, AzN Revenant, AzN Decadence and so on.

[M3Kamikaze]

M3 - for the BMW M3 which is a tight car
Kamikaze - a sweet shot 1 1/2 oz. vodka, 1/2 oz. triple sec, 1/2 oz. lime juice

I think one day I had to register a new name and my old screenname had a college name in it that I used to go to, so I looked around my room and thought it might be a cool name.

[Focker]

focker = focker

[angelwiththesword]

C.J. Cherryh wrote a book called The Angel with the Sword.

twas a good book, and it had funky religious context as well, being related with the first angel and first fallen Samael, i called myself angelwiththesword.

it's also my regged mIRC nickname and my nick for some other things including image hosting, other forums, etc.

[Danny]

it be my name

[Ch8Li179]

CH8Li179 Came from my name (well kind of.) Actually it's what my parents call me: chan LING. The "8" replaces the "a" and "179" replaces the "ng." I thought it would look cute. My real name got messed up some how when I was growing up and I can't get people to correct it. Honestly, it's really sad. :( I thought it would be nice for people to get my name RIGHT.

[kuanyin]

hi eveyone, i'm new to all this but i want to thank bluehoodie for hooking me up with this site. my screenname kuanyin is actually the name of a buddhist deity known as the Bodhisatva Kuan Yin. She reached enlightenment but decided not to enter nirvana until all beings get there. so She's real helpful to me. i think i may be a fanatic about Her as most of the time when i need a screenname i use this. if i had money i'd get a tattoo of Her on my back...

are you talking about the deity that helps the monkey king in journey to the west? if so shouldn't your screen name be "guan yin"?

wow. you sound so devoted.

I usually only pray to her in the morning and whenever i need help with something as a form of special entity watching over me, i guess. or maybe when i need a little "good luck" or "guidance". i feel so selfish. my mom is actually very devoted. to both kuanyin and buddah. she does the chanting or praying every morning.

[kayla]

this sn actually isnt my name. it has absolutely no relation to me whatsoever. i chose it cuz i didnt want to use my real name. =)

[kuanyin]

Tao, your right, i should write "guan yin." but my family is chinese from taiwan (or some say "foreigners" in taiwan) and we have that whole poilitcal thing about communists vs nationalists and so i use the not so easy to read english system.

...and while i feel i have diva moments, i wouldn't call me goddess, especially since americans usually call her that and then the whole buddhist perspective gets thrown down the toilet. but thanks!

kayla, i'm pretty devoted, but more fanatic...i think my karma is heavy...

along with americans, i would garner to say that the more secular of her chinese believers also believe her to be a goddess.

anyway, welcome, kuanyin. *kowtows three times*. i'm sun wu kung. :D

[Faithless]

DoggieBreath. Meaningless to some degree. Like to use different names for different boards. However, I like dogs, but don't want any now. :rolleyes:

[ShortNBitter]

hey all-- err dont u just love it whne u first come to a forum and everything is so intimidating? its like im a stranger (which of course i am durr) ;)
anyway, enuf of makin a fool of myself. im short n bitter (thats my aim name too, feel free to IM me) and i have accepted who i am. im a nihilistic, bitter, mean, realist 16 year old vietnamese/chinese living in upper class white suburbia wishing there was another way out besides suicide <_<
there is no god! there is only humanity... and that is the supreme evil in which we preach against. religion is a tool, just as the law is, to make people comply with rules and regulations. people call me bitter because i say the truth... and the truth is that they are living behind a wall of lies and comfort. but once you reach the edge and break the walls- u cant go back. and so i sit on the cliffs of insanity waiting for the end of i, one of over six billion...
ps- im a loser :lol:

[Nightworlder]

the character in a book I've been trying to write for over a year now. It's copywritten, you have to pay me $5.00 just to say Nightworlder lol. No seriously, you do. I accept credit cards, cigarettes, girls phone numbers..

EMPEROR because one day I will subjugate humanity and crown myself as Grand Despot and MIKE because that's my name.

[Faithless]

Since tapestrybabe asked, I did change my YW name. Realized that I was using it in multiple boards. Rather than seem like an egotist, I decided to change it here in favor of something more Asian.

Chotto Matte is Japanese for "excuse me" or "excuse me, damn it", depending on intonation.

What's <EM>Cibbo Matto</EM> mean? <BR>Cibo Matto is actually Italian.&nbsp; it approximately means "Crazy Food".&nbsp; Yuka Honda and Miho Hatori named it such because they love food.

Chotto Matte is Japanese for "excuse me" or "excuse me, damn it", depending on intonation.
Chotto matte is often used in contexts that are equivalent to those for "excuse me" in English. However, a more literal meaning of chotto matte would be "just a moment." For example, if you were walking away from someone, and they wanted to get your attention, they might say, "Chotto matte kudasai" — "just a moment please [I need to detain you a bit longer]." Chotto matte can also mean that you need more time.

Thanks for the Japanese lesson. I know whatever my parents tought me.

Usually, we skip the "chotto" part and go straight for the <b>"Matteeeeeee!"</b>

some people gave it a label "New Rock".&nbsp; others think it's just acid jazz.<BR>it's sort of along the same kind of music as pizzicato five, buffalo daughter, kahimi karie, etc.

[maxdacat]

Maxdacat cos my cat is called max

[XKE Series I]

The Jaguar XKE Series I, since it's one of my favourite cars.

[DeafDumBlind]

I was once chatting with this screen name one IRC and s'one PMed me saying: DDB in what sense? Hear no evil, Think no evil and See no evil. I was astonished by the perception of that person. I thought to my self wow this nick sure helps unmask people's perception.

[stunninglyAsian]

I called myself stunninglyAsian because of my looks...

I'm the only Asian in a 600mile radius of my city, so people are stunned when they see me on the street.

in a good way or a bad way?

one could say lucy liu is "stunning" but personally i find her :gross:

[sushimac]

I have been grubbin' on Sushi even before it got popular soooo, they call me SUSHI-MAC! :dance:
I just Love SUSHI! :D
Can't get enuff of SUSHI! ;)

[rice cracker]

Rice = Because I'm Asian
Cracker = Because I'm also white

[littlebutfierce]

"littlebutfierce" is from Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream--"And though she be but little, yet she is fierce," or something like that. It's a play I like, & it also gets referred to in one of my favorite novels. And I'm, well, short. And fiesty. ;)

[Uncle Tat]

So tell us what the origin of your yellowworld screenname is.

And why did you choose the avatar you're using?

[bluetrianglescott]

Took it from the Blue Triangle Network--a group formed to oppose attacks on immigrants since 9/11. The avatar I chose, as you can see, is completely unrelated.

[DragonKnight]

SN: DragonKnight
Origin:
Took it from this story I'm writing up.&nbsp; One of the characters.

Avatar:
Hrm, that's me.&nbsp; I thought it'd be best if people know what I look like.&nbsp; Yeah, that's my most recent pic and I do look 10 yrs younger than I really am at times.

[Emperor_Mike]

My avatar changes a lot so it doesn't mean anything. Right now it's John Talbain of DarkStalkers fame. Meh.

As for the screen-name, "Emperor" because I'm an obsessive slave driving (but fair and pleasant) despot in every club, society, and project I lead and "Mike" because...well...it's my name.

Actually, I like "Emperor" because it's nice to say. :D

[RasFarengi]

Well my avatar is my wife and I.&nbsp; I put that up cause I got tired of people asking me..."why are you interested in Asian issues...you're black..."&nbsp;&nbsp; Well pic is kind of self explanitory.

My name.&nbsp; Ras Farengi is Amharic (language of the main ethnic group in Ethiopia).&nbsp; Ras = first, great, most high, nobleman

Farengi = foreigner.

I dated a Ethiopian chick a long long time ago, and she was a African FOB, all her FOB friends called me Farengi.&nbsp; Then when I went to Asia...I was always called something...black devil, foreigner, something.

So I figured if I am going to be a foreigner, I should be a "great one..."

So Ras Farengi.

[blue hoodie]

I wear a blue hoodie.

[rice cracker]

Rice, because Asian people eat rice.

Cracker, because that's what you call white people.

Get it? Heh...heh...yeah, it gets less funny the more I say it.

My avatar is a self-portrait. Taken with a PDA, I might add.

[nonamerasian]

I bet you guys will never guess how I choose my name! *smirks*

I wanted an avatar that popped out so that I could find my posts in long threads, so I picked one with a bright color.

I choose this particular one because it kind of looks like a picture of me I was emailed the day I registered on the site.&nbsp;

[Tao]

i forget whether i explained my sn or not, but here it goes:

Tao is my last name. Funny thing is that everyone is familiar with the name except that very few Chinese have it as their last name, which i find sorta strange since it's such a cool name to have!

As for the pic, I recently took a profile shot of myslef with a digital camera and then used photoshop to render the sketch effect. I thought of doing that instead of just posting the actual pic cause then it'd be soooo boring and common.

[hooligan]

hooligan = i cause trouble

i chose my avatar because it's a pic of me hitting a 5-0 (or attempting to) grind.&nbsp; it looks kinda cool, you don't see me face. :)

[coagulated fat]

Coagulated fat needs no explanation.

I&nbsp; :luv: Asian skater boys.&nbsp; props to hooligan.

[Eros]

Eros 'cause I needed a screen name and then I saw the lube sitting on my desk.
Heheh...&nbsp; just kidding that (not that people in chatroom haven't asked if I was named after the lube...).&nbsp; Actually, it's 'cause years ago I got sick of my screen name and decided to use Eros since I was into Greek mythology.&nbsp; I especially liked the concept as Eros being the creationary force the bound opposites together.

As for my avatar, that was a pic taken of me with by mobile (by ricecracker during her many episodes of stealing my phone) earlier this summer.&nbsp; For whatever reason, I think it's a decent pic of me.

[Irezumi Kiss]

I wrangled my brain trying to figure out what SN to use permanently on this site...something that should reflect my nature and something I haven't used before elsewheres...

Irezumi = tattooing

Kiss = love doing this!

I like tattoos (even though as of yet I have none myself) and as an artist, I especially appreciate creative, well designed tattoos, preferrably on the sexy, tanned body of a woman! I write/draw erotica for fun and when I write, I use "Irezumi Kiss" as my nom de plume...

:)

[Ogumo]

Ogumo means something like great spider or special spider in japanese.

It was a nick name that i had in japan... people would also call dokugumo. That would mean venom/poison spider.

[sweetmangos]

no big meaning behind the SN.
it's just something i like.

[BigLew]

My nickname in the service. Short for Big Daddy Lew. Some kid from the pocanos started calling me this one day and it stuck for the rest of my 4 year enlistment.

[yoMAMA]

YoMAMA=one of my female friends always got some good Yo MAMA jokes, and they crack me up, so

here's one:


YoMAMA is so fat that one day when she was sitting on a beach, some dude named Carlos stuck a flag in her ass and claimed it for Spain.

[VV o n g B a]

reminds me of that inuyasha character. although i thought his name was closer to onigumo or something...

[TyTea36]

I remember explaining my name before. Here goes again anyways...

Ty- First 2 Letters of my name

TyTea- Thai Tea, a sweet caffinated drink. cold/hot

36- I had to choose a number...

TyTea36 is also my AiM sn... So I used it here.

[Kennyb]

Kennyb - It's a family nickname, 'b' meaning baby since I am the youngest in my family.

[sii-mon]

my screen name is a change in style to my real life name simon so i came up with the idea of tweaking it about here and there and came up with sii-mon

ok its not rocket scientist stuff but it impressed me :lol:

[Bookworm011]

My screenname is Bookworm011 and I've been using it for a long time....I don't even remember how long ago. I got this screenname cause I liked to read when I was little, so that's how I came up with my screenname.

[babyxT]

polarxT...

you guys can im me sometime...
if you know what the definition of *polar* is in biology... you`ll know why i chose it

[hapakristina]

AIM - hapakristina
Yahoo Messenger - hapakristina

it's all pretty standard and all pretty self-explanatory. now if you're like the other morons that still ask me online ASL or what my name is.. i'll seriously go beat you down!

:laugh:

[SynRG]

I first started using SynRG as my SN on trance forums 2 years ago. The definition of the world "Synergy" in basic terms is the "combination of two parts that equal a greater whole." I like mixing trance, and I'm Eurasian, so yeah. "SynRG" applies to both my interests and my identity :D.

[kdi]

quentin tarantino's "kill bill vol. i" movie.

Kill

[santoki]

I named my computer that way and in our dormitory everybody started to call people by their computer's name... now everybody knows me as santoki which means something like "mountain rabbit" in Korean... so when they even call me that way here in Korea people start to laugh....
but I've been using it ever since...

[Spikey_Hair]

My hair :rolleyes:

[Mo'Taka]

i had a mohawk and taka means hawk= Mo'Taka('Hawk). Get it?

[Martino]

Martino - makes me sound as if I come from warmer climes, a touch of the Latin, but it's just my first name and last initial: Martin O.

[TTChino]

bunboy421 - chasiubao buns not ass buns. 421 = birfday.

[Martinkou]

<- Martinkou = Martin Kou, my real name; rhymes with Martino. :p

[Martino]

There can be only one Martino. You must be ... eliminated.

Besides, it's Martinkou, not Martino.

How about if I have you slightly eliminated?

Or you could change your handle to something unMartinish, like ... Doris?

[Martinkou]

NEVER!

First come first serve.

It's an anagram for what I thought about myself a while back. Props to anyone who can figure out what it is ^o^

[PropellerheadCP]

I think I explained my screenname, in my personal intro.

I like the Propellerheads. I was listening to their CD, when I was registering onto YW.
I am only 1 person, hence the singular version of the title, Propellerhead. CP based on my initials.

Propellerhead + CP

My avatar is an illustration of my favourite Soul Calibur character. I thought it was a nice pic (I love the artist's work), so I used it. I also make the same face, when I'm fighting (sport).

For the longest time since I can remember, it has always been my biggest dream to one day unite the largest and most fiercest of the top two Triads of the East: the Big Circle and the Green Gang. With me as their supreme Dai Lo(Big Boss) it will be named: Green Circle.

i registered for the username when i was 12 (turned 13 {underage :biggrin:} in november '03)

the inspiration came from a friends t-shirt printing business (a robot as the official logo), and a site (http://chaoskids.com/ROBOTS/robots.html) i discovered.

but now the word 'robotic' carries many more connotations:
the pressure to conform, the inflexibility of fundamental human nature, or a need for rule, regulation and standardized living.

Me, I use The_Animal since it suits my personality. ~evil grin~ Both the muppet character (funloving and goofy) and it's other connotation (completely psychotic) are correct. :biggrin:

Sofa Rocker. Lifted off from a song by Sofa Surfers called 'Sofa Rockers', remixed by Richard Dorfmeister and found on the Kruder & Dorfmeister compilation album "The K&D Sessions".

[Geese]

My screen name is the first name of SNK's Geese Howard. Unfortunately... I picked up the nickname because of a similar disposition to the character when I get angry and for my supposed ability to survive situations that should kill a person.

Plus I ain't too bad with him in the video game. I still got my Neo Geo.
^_^

[Woody]

Because most people can't tell the woods from the trees!

[capacitor276]

Being a physics major, I decided upon a nerdy nickname for my web accounts. Hence, capacitor. That, and for some reason quark is always taken on most sites.

My first name is Maureen. "Mo" is short for Maureen. Everyone calls me "Momo" because of my shortened name. Surprisingly enough one of my all time favorite children's books is "Momo" by Michael Ende.

It has nothing to do with peaches.

[bismarck]

sofakingdom: I think I kind of get it. Laughing at our world through extension on Sofa King, a real or made up store for furniture (including sofas), which is also so mainstream it's reached the level of kitsch and....
Explaining these things always ruins the funniness for me, so I'll stop. I think I'm ruining it anyways.
But it's a cute name. I like it even if I might not get it.
As for mine, Bismarck, I don't really know why. It has nothing to do with Germany, I assure you. It's probably the sound of it. I was going through names a while ago, and now I just use it for everything.

[bismarck]

...

yeah, that too.
I still think it works my long-winded way, but...wow I totally missed it.

[sageb1]

it goes back to my dialup days and involves a multiline BBS, and the Simon n Garfunkel hit "Scarboro Fair" - u know, "parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme"; and yeh, i used all those herbs as handles too!

it also refered to the fact that i was 5-15 yrs older than anyone else, and made fun of the assumption that the older people are wiser.

by the time i found the internet circa 1991, it had evolved into the handle sageb1, which is a play on the latter definition of "sage" with the "b" standing for "bodhisattva".

also "sageb1" is a phrase that is my persona in-joke with Buddhism i.e. "sage be one" which defines what a buddha is and one key concept of most faiths i.e. being one with the divine.

is anyone with me so far? no, oh well.

[sassymei]

hello...
mei - nickname

[NextNoName]

NextNoName is my screen name. I use it for spcnet forum and other forums. It is the screen name I use for forums.

Where do I get this screen name? Well, I didn't know what screen name to use, and for one particular site (forget which one) it generated counter proposal to my proposed screen name. I keyed in "NoName" and the counter proposal was "NextNoName" and so it is.

[tyciol]

I've been using this since about 2000. I made it up stringing stuff together, and found out later it's close to a polish word which annoyed my originality.

[Zombie Dave]

Gallows humor. In March 2007 I was hit with a treble whammy, including colorectal cancer. Everyone said I'd see Christmas, and I said 'only if I come back as a zombie ...'. But hey, look...
