Name origin?

Mar 05, 2004 00:22 Name origin?
Just wondering where everyone got their names from.

Nova: A star that suddenly becomes much brighter and then gradually returns to its original brightness over a period of weeks to years.
(No, it's not just Avon spelled backwards.) At the time that I chose my name, I was very into sci-fi shit. I've stuck with my name simply because it's become part of my online identity.

Actually, of the 2 definitions I checked, both said a Nova is a new star that becomes bright quite quickly, but soon fades into obscurity in a matter of weeks.

Perhaps such stars haven't enough hydrogen to sustain a stable reaction or are unstable by other means...the dictionary definition suggests such events might be caused by some kind of disruption or collision.

In other words, you were promising, nova, but when your mom dropped you on your head you became brilliant for a short while, but are now massively moronic. :D

Yes, Acro, and I cried. My mom gave me a piece of candy and held me in her arms afterwards and rocked me to sleep. Oh, sorry, I forget that you wouldn't know what that's like, Acro.

You cut me deep, Shrek. You cut me real deep just now......

Oh, and Exploding Q: 'Acro' is just a greek prefix for 'extremity' , 'summit', 'endpoint', etc. It doesn't mean a whole lot.

Need i say more? Well i didnt say anything but, you get the point. Im wondering who everybody thinks has the coolest name.
Mar 08, 2004 20:41
I used to be in a drum and bugle corps from Madison Wisconsin, called the Madison Scouts. The corps got its name from its roots, it started out as just a boy scout troop in 1938 that started a drum and bugle corps and eventualy it broke off and became just a corps. I was in my first year in the corps when I first started playing macbolo so I used the name Mad Scout, and have used it ever since.

Unlike many other people, Mad Scout is the only name I can tell you about 'cause I don't have 3 or 4 other names to troll under.

Mine is just a reminder of what you envoke when someone angers me, my vengeance. I suppose Revenge would work, but Vengeance is more obscure. Hmmm, Obscure. There's a good one. I would like to know why John M. chose Elvis.

"And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers."

my name was chosen because for the first few years i played bolo, i was trapped under a gigantic dog

Sakurazukamori is composed of three parts - Sakura + zuka + mori

Sakura is the Cherry Tree.
Zuka means something along the lines of "mound".
Mori means "forest".

So Sakurazukamori would mean something like "The Forest of the Cherry Tree mound".

I chose the name because I liked how the name looked/sounded and the meaning was somewhat appealing, but because of the length, many of you refer to me as 'Sak', which also works.

*sniffle* but ... but .... I love you

HostileToy I got because well ..... I was watching Toy story with my son and one of the previews was for the toy story game where you have to defeat the hostile toys, and I figured I was pretty bitter and hostile towards certian members, so it kinda fit.

My game name I think someone called me a fruit and I asked what kind. They replied, I don't know what kind would you want to be? So I decided I'd want to be a melon.

-Liz (oh yes, and this one is actually my name. Origin: Elizabeth; Meaning: I don't know, something religious I'm sure, but I'm too lazy to bother looking it up)
