Ask Me Help Desk - Why this name?

Why this name?

Whenever I read someone's 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

My daughters name is MacKenzie... so mines pretty simply macks-mom :)

That's sweet...

Mine is a long story... essentially, it's the name I took for my character in an online game.

My husband always plays using the name Roland. Well, Roland was already taken, so he took Rolynd. His brother got that song "Rollin' with da homies" stuck in his head, and rolled the character Kykyn. Pretty soon half the guild had names that could be used with the last name "Widahomeas" (with da homies). So I took Synnen (Sinnin').

Nobody ever notices this, but mine is my name backwards.

So in 2000 when I signed up as a dog expert on www.Xpertsite.com, Labman was the first thing I thought of.

Mine is pretty simple I love the Wizard of Oz and have always viewed Glinda as the type of woman that I strive to be each day. Smart, caring, and very, very zen.

Okay, but I've always wondered about that picture of yours, too. :)

I'm really into the 1940's and the 1950's and love those type of pinup pictures. I think they look so pretty and you never see pics like that anymore.

If you met me in real life, I would be quite reserved. Until you got to know me and I got to know you. So that is the shy part. Green for my eyes.

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

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

Simple, my name is Rose and sometimes I get blue. ;)

Don't we all, Rose... ;)

Hello firm:

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

excon

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.

Mine is a name I have used on forums and what not for years. It came from the name I was given in high school 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 doesn't 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... ;)

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

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?

I didn't go with a nick name Corrie is my real name:)
I know it is a boys name but its kind of grown on me over the years and I'm quite fond of it now

Well I wonder, lets just say I can do a great impression of Michael Jackson when he was in the Jackson 5 ;)

I thought it was Corrie... :) and I guessed right, for once;)

And CB,
I wouldn't have even guessed that...

I think your avatar is so cute...

Haha! For some reason I always thought this had something to do with a ficus tree... lol.

I'm resisting snobbish elitism in all its myriad forms.

I thought you were ordinary guy... :)
Your name sounded like a strong farmer type,tilling the land and growing your own food and living a basic,nature friendly,healthy life...

Guess mines mighty obvious too ;)

Hello Firmbeliever,

I guess you know why I chose my name, I have been on different question answer sites for over ten years now and I have always used the same username. I would like to think that every one of us are here to help others, guide others and Jesus has done that with his teachings. Jesus is a great example of what and how we should all be and how to treat each other.

Joe

CBW and Jesushelper,
Your names were easier to understand than most here... :)

Excon's not a rabbi??

I've always used a certain screen name on all other sites. I decided to be different this time. "Wondergirl" came to me during a two-minute time of deep thinking. I'm still wondering why I chose it.

I thought you were the girly version of wonder woman... :)

Nothing German to my name, although that is my heritage. Grn for green and eyzs because everyone uses eyes. I just needed to be different! Lol.

Really Shy, you are German?
I don't know why,but till you cleared what your name meant I thought it was in German... :)
Wild guesses end up sometimes too close...

I've always enjoyed boats. Sometimes mine... sometimes other people's boats (OPB's). I've always been the type that liked a challenge, so many years ago to show myself, and to gain credibility, I got my OUPV cert (Captain's License) hence...

Mine is part of my first name and last name stuck together, since I am not very clever in thinking up screen names. I was thinking of switching to Ghilliegal, (Irish dance soft shoes are called ghillies) but I don't want to lose my post points!

CaptainRich,
I did think you were about boats,

But you will not believe the image that came to my mind when I first saw your name.
I thought of those main male characters in Barbara Cartland romance books,must have been the name Rich... ;)

Emland,
I thought yours was a name of a place... sounded exotic,like dreamland.. :)

firmbeliever, I work in a public library and am with people who wonder a lot. I wonder too. In the library, we can find answers to our wonders.

(Ok, OK, I really am the girly version of Wonder Woman. You found me out.)

My teacher was a marine and told me about a guy named Sargent Hardkore and I used that name.
