Name Origin

[Ema]

1. well ema is short for emanuel wich is my name...
2. aroh is "hora" spelled backwards wich means hour
3. aadyn was a name a random name generator gave me and i kept for some time...
4. janus46...my very first nick when I started in chronicles....>_<

[ZaichikArky]

My name for the longest time (actually it's still my AIM name) is MajesticArcanine. It's cause Arcanine is my favorite pokemon, and I was really into pokemon 10 years ago and I thought in the pokedex entry for Arcanine it said something about it being "majestic"... well actually it was "legendary", but I guess MajesticArcanine sounds better than LegendaryArcanine anyway...

Somewhat more recently, I decided to go by "ZaichikArky" because "Zaichik" means "bunny" in Russian. It's a term of endearment... And Arky is short for Arcanine. Some people have thought I'm from Arkansas... lol.

[tushantin]

Ironically, my name, despite having a loooooooooooooooooooooooooooong story behind it, still is a short story!

When I was a toddler (I don't remember when, but it's probably when I was 7 or 8 or something) I used to play videogames (only NES and Sega though) and PC games a lot, but another friend of mine named Conan, my age, had a PC with internet on it. Instead of wasting time on games he used to access the net for useful things.

One day, I asked him to teach me internet (ROFL!) and make me an email address. And so he helped me. The first ID I ever created was in Yahoo, and my ID was....

>.>

<.<

Crazychicken

  I liked the name so much I never wanted to part with it. But one day the password wasn't working. Dx Holy gods! I asked Conan to help me and he looked at me like I was some kind of a highly advanced idiot from outer space because I forgot my password, but that was strange because I remembered it clearly. But he helped me make a new ID instead.

He asked me to make an ID and Password with something I could remember. I put in my name (because I was a dork) but the ID was taken. So he put the "in" in "tushantin" and that was it!

And yeah, I use the same password now that I chose back then.

Why must you do that?

Someone has to.

As for my name, Thought, it is my second common net moniker and easily my favorite. The story behind it is rather boring. I participated on a forum on a favorite author's website. The software changed and everyone had to re-register. For some reason my original name wouldn't work so I tried to think of something else. Thought was what I came up with, but I disliked it at the time and gave up on it for.. oh, probably 6 months to a year. Then I started using it again and it eventually became my name that I tend to use everywhere online. If you see a "Thought" somewhere, there is a good chance that is me, simply because it is seldom taken even on popular forums.

And I used to sign all my posts along the lines of:

Just a random,

Thought

or:

Just a rambling,

Thought

[utunnels]

When I was still in high school, me and my friend developed a story series about a civilization that live in the deep earth, we made jokes, draw some random comic and wrote nonsense fictions. That is my ID's orgin (I didn't use an English ID until 5 years ago though).
It has been more than ten years from then, and those stories have became meaningless to me. But I'm just to lazy to change it. *shrug*

And this is the orgin of my real life name.

[anonymouse]

1) I like mice.
2) I like lame puns.
3) I have no originality, and stole the name from somewhere else.

Hence the ID.

Isn't it pretty ironic? I presume they share the same origin as your name. But pretty good service nonetheless.

[anonymouse]

LOL. No, actually, anonymouse is the default username for commenters who don't leave any names in certain sites. Interesting to know, though.

btw I refer to the website name (anonymouse) and their service, I presume they got the name the same way as your.

[anonymouse]

No, seriously. I meant anonymouse. ^_^

I see. *feels like an idiot* 

[Brink-of-Time]

My name is my artist name for my eurodance, trance, and any kind of electronic music I write.

[Boo the Gentleman Caller]

When I was in college I had two neighbors who were named Emerald and Jared - they were a couple a year or two older than me.  We used to always drink and smoke on their front porch and they used to climb in my window at the most awkward hours (I lived on the ground floor).  Well Emerald called me "boo" all the time, as well as "boo bear", and we had a very close, sibling-like relationship.

Well I had a girlfriend in Switzerland at the time and we were always on Skype and Emerald and Jared always made fun of me, and at some point Ariel (the girlfriend in Switzerland) and her parents called me "the gentleman caller", so when I was trying to figure out a witty name I chose "Boo the Gentleman Caller".  It has graced my presence in the internet ever since.

I keep getting up and having to do things so the above sentences are sort of scattered and run on, hahaha...
