What Is The Meaning Of Your Username?

I've seen a few usernames that make me wonder what they mean/represent.
I'll go first: I got akeldama from the book of Acts 1;19, in Aramaic it means "Field Of Blood". I had chosen that name for my band but realised after I had the logo all finished there were at least two bands with that name.

I moved this thread here, where I think it belongs.

My screen name is made up of the first letter in my first name, and the first 4 letters in my middle name.

Mine is a combination. The first letter of my last name starts with "D", and when I first signed up I chose Black Sabbath as my initial avatar...so I thought of Iommi "de-tuning" his guitar. Voila.

My name is actually just a word that appeared when I randomly typed something in Microsoft Word - I thought it looked quite nice and sounded catchy, so I have been using "Mglaffas" as my username and stuff ever since. The "81" at the end comes from when I forgot the password to my username somewhere else and had to sign in again - Since "Mglaffas" was already in use, I had to put something at the end. When I signed on to this board, I just typed it there as a reflex and decided to leave it as it is.

How do you say it?

Muh-glah-fas


It's pretty much how most people read it.

Thanks, I kept thinking it was "MG-Laugh-Ass".

You're Welcome

Same story as that guy ^















....or is it?

my first & middle initial + that 3 digit number that doesn't really mean anything.

I worshipped a mid-90's QB on a doomed team.

I'm a major kaiju fan and Toho studios produced the best. Godzilla, Rodan, King Ghidorah, Mothra...they had all the good monsters. I grew up watching this stuff on creature feature matinees on Saturday afternoons.

I'm currently working my way through the Gamera catalogue. Daiei studios saw the success of Toho with Godzilla so they thought they'd try their hand. The early Gamera movies pretty much suck but the recent ones are actually better than the later Godzilla entries IMO.

Mine means just what it says- my head is metal.

My first name is Saminder (although everyone calls me Sam - I'm half Indian, but don't really look it, hence the strange name). If you slur Saminder it becomes Sminder... Sminders... Smindas. Brilliant logic.

My name. Yes, my name is 'Lari'.

I love threads like this. There are so many usernames I don't understand.


BTW, I think Shlomo is copping out. Come up with your own story man.

mine is simply my first initial and last name followed by a one. I use another one that some folks might see as well bgast7851, which is my first initial for Bob, my last name Gast and my birthday. July 8, 1951

EX Yes and Zeppelin. Name of a proposed supergroup of Jimmy Page, Chris Squire, and Alan White. Robert Plant was invited, but turned them down (halting the creation of XYZ).

Well, I awoke in the middle of the night to a loud sound downstairs, so I went down and saw that my fridge was open and there was a ninja taking all my food! At first I was scared, but when he took the hot pockets, that pushed me just a little too far. So I leaped into action and threw my cat at him! This stunned him for a second, which gave me time to run into the garage and get my Dad's golf clubs. After his feline-induced-paralysis wore off, he pulled out a sword and we had an epic duel! After several hours of battle, I began to grow tired. So I shouted "Hey, is that Elvis?" and he turned his head around, but as I lunged forward with my 9-iron, I tripped over a box of fish fillets! I fell face first on the tile! The ninja grabbed some food and ran for the door! He opened it and turned back to me, uttering something unintelligible, which sounded like "Sh-boe-poe". He then left and I went to bed.

Went by the name Adchyrch which is my first and middle inital and a older spelling of my last name, most peeps know me as Addy I went with Addy to keep it short and sweet

I'm betting you can guess. If you can't contact me with your name, social security number and bank account and i'll let you in on the secret.

"Fat Freddy" is my favorite character in the classic underground comic book series "The Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers" by Gilbert Shelton. If you've never read these comics, trust me, you should. You really really should.

Freddy also has a cat in the series who is known simply as "Fat Freddy's Cat." When I first started posting on message boards and stuff years ago I went by "FatFreddysCat" on some forums but eventually I got lazy so I dropped the "Cat" part.

And no, my real name is not Fred. Not even close.

My first name is Manny

I still think Spumoni is copping out but it was a good story.

I used to go by metalholic.... addicted to metal. After a few years, I thought that was kinda stupid so I just dropped it to MetalH. Not that exciting. lol.
