Whenever I read someones post, I always wonder what the nick means and what it stands for and what it signifies for this person.

As almost everyone knows I chose my nickname as I am a firmbeliever in my religion..

I have seen very unusual names and most I have never heard before..
Why did you choose yours and what does it mean?


Thanks all

firmbeliever

I thought your name was "sign in" not "sinnin"




I did notice that Chriskoster


I guessed yours had to do something with the wizard of Oz.....


I did notice the shy part of the name but I wondered if the rest was something in another language like German etc

excon

Hello firm:

I chose excon because I couldn't say the things I say, if everybody knew I was a Rabbi.

I'm named after a favourite cocktail bar. 2 cocktails for £5 all week. 100s to choose from, best margatita in town (better even than the mexican restaurant.) The only tequila, absinthe and gin cocktail I've ever had.

I thought of the name when I was looking at my bedroom wall which is covered in posters, postcards, gig tickets and random leaflets street preachers give me. It was one of the postcards with writing on it, liked the name so took it.

My avatar is a drawing I did from an article in a fashion magazine.

alkalineangel

mine is a name I have used on forums and what not for years. it came from the name I was given in highschool by someone who told me I had the ability to help dissolve conflict among our friends, and look from both sides past the negative things.. She had said that It was like I was Alkaline - neuterlizing the acid. The angel part just was stuck on afterwards...most of the people I have know throughout my life, would know me by this name...so its stuck now...really it doesnt make all that much sense to me anymore, but its habit to use it as a screen name.

Excon,
Are you really a Rabbi?
I always thought you were a true excon....

Templelane,
The name always made me think of a Buddhist temple...
I like your avatar, is it watercolour?

Alkalineangel,
Sounds like an avenger...until now, it is really a positive name...

labman

I liked Groucho Marx on another site that said he thought he everybody was using their real name.

firmbeliever

I did not think all of the names are the real names,but I thought each name is significant and important part of the character of the person....

Like Labman, is that a labrador man?
