    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

    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').

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

    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 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:D

    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.

    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?
