What does your screen name mean?

[notyouraveragejoe]

It means I'm special. As in unique...not special as in Spethial. Cept maybe....not sure. I guess it just means I'm not like everyone else.

 

[Camaranth]

C Amaranth
Amaranth (mythical) being a never dieing flower which I take as a metaphor for the fact I refuse to grow up.
Amaranth (RL) very diverse plant with many many uses and varieties.

also the title to one of my favourite songs.

the C is because amaranth was already taken and this makes it a play on a name.

 

[binvjoh]

First three letters of my last name, then the first letter of my middle name and lastly the first three of my first name.

 

[Evil Moo]

It means I have a distinct lack of creativity and a few years ago decided to make my username for something as the first two words that popped into my head. I have since come up with a convoluted back story to it, but it is somewhat irrational and I don't want to bore you with the details unless anyone is particularly interested.

 

[The Night Shade]

A Shade that is on the night and "The" means that i'm (supposedly) the only one

 

[Marter]

No, no, I wont. Thats just what I always thoguht when I saw your username before i saw your post. Thats why I thought you called your review thread marter to the movies.

The "Marter to the Movies" series is somewhat a play on "Escape to the Movies" that MovieBob does.

Except that, since my username is "Marter", it works out well. =)

 

[Chrono212]

Chrono is 'time' in Greek but that was unintentional.
212 is just '2142' as in Battlefield 2142 without the naffness of having the name of the game you're making your name for in said name.

 

[Geekosaurus]

It's clearly the name of some sort of NES-playing dinosaur.

 

[Blackmagic1515]

Blackmagic is a reference to a joke from a story that my friend and I were writing a few years ago. Basically the main character's last name was Black and he was able to use magic. At one point his girlfriend left him, but he managed to convince her to come back. When his friend asked how he managed it, his response was 'I used a bit of Black magic'.

And now the name has stuck with me ever since. The 1515 is just my favourite number twice.

 

[MrJKapowey]

'Jooeey Kapowey' is a name people sometimes call me at school (guess what my name is) and the 'Mr J' comes from a section of 'Feet of Clay' where it is stated that the last thing a bad horse doctor will hear is 'Mr Chyrophrase is most displeased...'.

 

[SilentCom]

Silent because I don't like to talk much (irl anyways) and Com is short for 2 things- Comitatus and Comatose.

 

[Whateveralot]

Two semi-randomly chosen words that do and do not fit together at the same time. I like it. So should you.

 

[JPArbiter]

used JPArbiter since Starcraft came out when I was 14. JP is my initials, Arbiter is a Protoss Unit in Starcraft.

the fact that Halo 2 came out when I was in college just made the nickname cool, to the point where RL friends, and even my wife call me Arbiter.

 

[NightlyNews]

Uh... I really like Vampires. And I also really like cats.

Seemed natural.

Liking cats is a noble pursuit, but then half the internet would have to change their id's to _____ cats.

My name is Brian Williams, so at some party a drunk girl wouldn't stop calling me the nightly news. I hated it so of course everyone started calling me it and it grew on me.

If you don't know who Brian Williams is ------> http://www.hulu.com/watch/138631/late-night-with-jimmy-fallon-slow-jam-the-news-brian-williams-edition

 

[Hugleikur]

Plays with minds (in icelandic)

 

[Optional Opinion]

I like alliteration.

 

[Count Igor]

Kerrigan?
It meant nothing, but later I found out it was an already made up name...
Annoying.

 

[thatman]

A minor character in Excel Saga, literally called 'that man'.
