Personally, I have always been interested in understanding what kind of process brings a person to choose an alias rather than another.

I'd love to know what made you chose yours - if you want to share your little secret with us, naturally! ^_^

I'll start explaining mine:

Bloomiecurse comes from a blessed mixture of names and actions.

BLOOMiecURSe.

As all of you will notice, it contains both Orlando's name and mine (Bloom + Urs). On the plus side it indicates what stage my OBsession has reached.
It looks like more a curse rather than an unharming adoration for an actor!
It actually is, but don't spread the news, aye?

So!
What about yours?
:love:

i figure since no one else is answering you lol, i might as well! *shrugs*

anywho, ever since well, about the 4th grade, my friends and i sorta had "character names" that i'd use whenever i write (bc i'm HORRIBLE at coming up with names) so i'd just use my friends name thingys in all my fics. and they'd change about every...five minutes lol

my lastest one, Julianna/Jules/Jewelz actually has stuck for a year or two though lol. basically there was this great fic on EWFN called "incognito" that managed to disappear as far as i know and lord knows that i DON"T know who wrote it (i wish i did!) but anyway, twas great. and the main character's name was Julianna, so i just started using the name Julia in my fics, bc i love the nickname "Jules". eventually it morphed into Julianna/Jewelz and now Sarah/Skye's the only one that calls me Jewelz outside of this site lol, but yea

dull, i know, but i'm bored, so whatever *shrugs* lol ^_^

Mine is my tag and my gangsta name. LoL! Ummm... I got it in Year 7 when I walked past these group of guys and one I knew was from school and he didn't know my name so he just yelled out 'Hey Stylin',' and then I became friends with them and I was nicknamed Stylin which turned into Sxc Stylez. :love: :love:

I'm so boring iwth my nick ...!!!

LoL

White brings back my White Magnolia nick ... i have something for White and MAgnolia ... lol

I started calling myself White for two reasons:

1st: Everyone says that i look a little bit like SnowWHITE
2nd: I'm so pale that i swear i'm a white dot in an ocean of sexy latin tan....

and Andie ... well, my name ... Andrea ... i like to be call Andie ...

But Magnolia? why Magnolia? I don't know ... it just came into my head one day ... lol

since then it's one of my faves flowers...

luvly
andie

Lol. Mine is one of the most boring ones. How sad.

Umm. Stars cuz they're cute and kinda pretty. Lol. I sound preppy.

And...Eve...cuz..well...that's my name.

Yup.

Dum dee dum.

Mines boring..why? you ask...cos its my name...lol *pout* :shine:

God, if I remember that fiction! It was "Incognito" by Greendor! Mary (the writer's name) was a marvellous narrator!
She never finished her story (too bad in my own opinion), even when she started posting it on another board.

Anyway! I adore the nick "Jules" as well... it is so sweet... especially if you imagine it used by "Orlando"!

:lmao:

Hey, this is cool.

Rightio, onto my own name...

Firestar.

I'm an Aries and have been proud of it from the moment that I could understand what a star sign was. I'm very hot-headed, short-fused, you know: FIERY... That's also where my love for the element of Fire came from... I also have an obsession with the night sky, thus the "star" part.

I despise daytime, so it's kinda ironic that my SN ended up being "Firestar" - which is basically the sun. Hmm.

Lol. That's that.

- Jessity B)

lmao! great topic Ursi... u got to learn tons of interesting lil things...

Mine is a Firestar Combo Copyright, lmao!

Its a combo of MEkare, a character of the @Queen of the Damned@, which I loved coz she is a witch, a vampire, a twin and a redhead, and of my true name of anNA.

thats it. Its kinda simple, but I would have never thought it myself, so thanks again Jessity, coz u know I simply love this name! :hug:

I got it from a generator: Ryvyan Grubb of Tuckborough is the full name. Oh fancy me staying in the same place as Pippin! *prances around*

So, it's my hobbit name. Yay for hobbitses! :D

:cry: WHY.....WHHHHHHHYYYYYY!!!???? :cry2:

why did she never finish it!? it was SO GOOD!! *grumbles*

*sighs* oh well

hmph

Mine's not all that interesting. My real name is Amber, and my boyfriend's six year old niece started calling me Ambrosia one day, and it just sort of stuck. Basically, it's my nickname. ^_^

That's so cool, I love The Vampire Chronicles, Anne Rice is an amazin author. :D

Mine is a variation of fox_chic, that's my username on my old college network. :)
It's because of my 10 yr obsession with The X Files and Fox Mulder. So basically
it's Fox's chick, but shortened. Then I decided to change it to Foxy on here, not
sure why, just for a change I think. :)
I also use the name Vixen for my LJ (vixen_ie) and on another board, cause the female of Fox is Vixen (simple, huh?!!) ;)
Yes I know I'm obsessed, :laugh:, but I'm happy in my obsession :D

Well that's my VERY (NOT!!) interestin story of my alias. :)

Slán
Sarah :shine:

Oooooh, I love the XFiles...mmmmm Mulder.....my roomate's bf looks so much like David Duchovny...this makes my roomate very very happy ^_^

Anywho...my nickname is just a name that I came across that I found interesting and that I like. Not a very exciting story!!

Oh wow, that's so cool, wish I had a bf that looked like Mulder :D

Slán
Sarah :shine:

Mine is rather simple if you know spanish! Payasa is Clown in Spanish!! All of my friends say I act like a real clown and I'm such a dork and a jokester so I thought I would fit!



:fairy: MissY

Mine is kinda dumb: I owe it all to Yahoo!

I've used the name "Bishop" online for as long as I can remember, cuz it was my stage name when I danced, so I felt comfy hiding behind it. I went to register for a Yahoo! ID one day, and it was taken :cry2: I didn't want a name cluttered with a bunch of numbers that only meant something to me, so I landed (after much thought,) on JUSTbishop...you know, like JUST Madonna or JUST Cher! I'm sure I could've registered on the boards I visit as "Bishop," but "justbishop" shortens so nicely to JB, and alas, I've just become accustomed to it :shine:

Uhm, well, I got my back at the old EWFN, the darkblue boards. I dont know why, I think it was Irina (sisterfromhell) who called me that. Its easier to type then FaBoLuS/Padfoot/Matilda, I guess. lmfao. But yeah, its a shortie of my real name, Matilda. How boring. ^_^

Well I have quite a few depending on were I am on the net:

~Pisces Dreaming~- Is the main one I use now, because it's now my craft name. I was trying to think of one and i was thinking of horoscopes and personality of horoscopes and i'm a pisces and pisces are dreamers.

Tru Faith- two words Eliza Dushku. These are the names of two of the characters she plays on TV shows; Faith from Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel and then Tru from Tru Calling.

Eros Aroha- Eros is the goddess of love or lust(I can't quite remember) and Aroha means Love in Maori(Native New Zealand) and i'm part maori.

Buffy Obsessed Kiwi- This is probably my biggest alias on the net. I use this one the most, it's because i'm like majorlly obsessed with Buffy the Vampire Slayer and i'm a New Zealander and we get called kiwi's.

Tru Faith

I also got mine from a generator:

Eleanor from the far downs is supposedly my hobbitname (or was it Elvenname, I can't remember)

and one day my boyfriend called for me, using the name: Elfardown... and i thought it actually sounded pretty nice.

so Elfardown comes from Eleanor from the far downs and no, it doesn't mean Elfs are down! LOL likes someone once asked me.

Mine is pretty straightforward. Elijah is awesome! I'm not obsessed with him, but I think he is a great actor! I love your name elfardown! Its very cool!

Luvs

Sarah

Ok... going with kierra and Eve mine is just boringly my real name...
But i could tell you what it means anyway :-P because I wanna show off ;)
Laila is either arabian or skandinavian (the latter rather, because arabian mostly is Layla, Leila or Laylah) and it means night or queen of the night. Oh yeah, sexy! ;) :lmao: , not really a key to my personality though - apart from my insomnia...

And I wanna explain my other aliases as well!! Just because.. well mostly I had some thinking behind them, but here being an admin, and to avoid misunderstandments, and the feeling I normally get after a few month - the sickness of a nick, I stuck to my name - which I am kinda fond of.

My very first nick over at EWFN was AutummFairy - which was kinda stupid and came from a picture of the cutest kid dressed as an AutumnFairy and I had it in my avi.
Then (I think) came IndefiniteSpirit with I kept for some time. It just means that my spirit is supposedly free, independent and not easily to judge or conceive ;)

Others I use at the moment are:

RetartedReverie - that just displays my emotions of late - I am almost grown up goddamnit and should stop lingering in stupid dreams! ... But then again *lol* I like them too much to part yet...

Blackbird/DreamyBlackbird - That is because I adore the beatles song so much.

Piccadilly - My tribute to my London addiction.

I think that's about it :)

mine is the name of a poem i once wrote. only, it was called Blood Stained Roses. my friends think its one of my better poems. I like it because i like the idea of Bloodstained Roses. Something sexy yet haunting about it... dark red roses dripping with crimson blood... dunno. i have weird obsessions.

anyways, it was too long and cumbersome. So i shortened and webified it. Hence, bludst@ndrozez. ^_^

altho, on the net, i can be seen as either BloodyRoses, or GothicRose... depending on where I am and whether or not people have stolen my nickname. *grumbles*

Well at first when you knew me from EWFN I used Smashing_Lore because:

I love smashing Pumpkins...

Lore is Lorena, my second name.

But It stands too for Smashing of being hitting myself LOL!! and not like some people things, that I'm great, fabulous or awesome... Smashing lore is me regretting for doing bad things LOL! and now Smashing_adri is hitting Adrienne, my fictional name.

I'm boring on here: Logan is my name. <_<

However, I used to be OffTheAngel, offtheangel, or off_the_angel. This started way back in, like, 7th grade. My friends and I wrote this really weird film script based on a combination of a dream my friend had and the movie "Dogma". It was about this renegade angel, played by me. Anyway... all these people were hunting down the angel, trying to kill him, and whenever they got depressed and de-motivated, they roused themselves again by saying stuff like, "we must kill the angel! OFF THE ANGEL!" So, yeah. I don't even remember when or why I started using it as an SN... but it's not a mispelling of "Of the Angels" or anything. :P

I have three other SNs. There's my AIM which is AnonAndMouse. It's a play on words of anonymous, since "y" means "and" in Spanish. It's another one I came up with when I was hanging out with friends. Also, there's Logicon. This is pretty vague, but it's a combination of Logie, a nickname, the word "icon" and the word "logic". Also, MixMastahLogicon3000 is my rapper name. :lmao: My e-mail is an account I "stole" from a friend of mine a year or two ago. My account crashed, and before I could find another place to get e-mails sent, he offered to let me use his. We shared it for a while until he got a different SN that he liked better. No idea where he got R_W_G_S...

So there's my fascinating story. Thanks for listening. :bye:

Hi again. Well, mine is kind of a stupid/boring one

On EWFN, I'm LizzieLij20 and on this forum I'm LizzieLij21, boring right.

Well I pick them because I can remember them mainly.

Ok, to begin, Lizzie is one of my nicknames. My full first name is Elizabeth (after Queen Elizabeth the 2nd in England), but I prefer to be call Liz or Lizzie due to the fact that I have the same name as an author (which is a Danielle Steele type fiction writer, I think. I never read Ms. Peters' work before in my life)

Lij is Elijah Wood's Nickname of course, but I'm also not a big fan of his work, but he did a great job in all three LOTR movies as the loveable Frodo.

and finally the #'s. On EWFN, I use the #20 because that is how old I am right now and on this forum, I used the #21 because that is how old I will be on August 25th (in a few short months from now). Corny right? I thought so

I'm sorry for confusing you, but that's a part of my nature. I hope you can understand a little on how I got my username.

Lizzie

Weeelll...mine is a we bit obvious :lmao:

I usually go by Ms. Shakespeare, or Viola Shakespeare which go hand in hand with my obvious Shakespeare obsession.

Even more perplexing, I'm more of a fan of Elija than Orli...but my story is about Orlando so I just chose Kimi Bloom. Kimi short for Kimberly!

my friends just decided that i just smelled like cherry chapstick.



no, actually my middle name is Chaplin.

and one day my psycho friend was like, "hey! let's call everyone by their middle name!"

and my middle name just doesn't sound right, so we changed it to Chapstick. and they called me that for about five minutes. but i like the name anyway.

p.s. my real name's rachel.

God...I have so many aliases. *takes breath*

frodozfan81 - I remember this as my first because that's from when I was 13...wow. It seems so childish now. It was frodo because I was trying to think of an AOL account and was diving into my LotR obsession, then fan is pretty obvious, and finally 81 is Elijah's year of birth. So many people believe me to be 23 now because of that. :lol:

Sammi - Very simple. It's one of my (many) nicks. I hate being called by my full name 'Samantha'. It just sounds so...not me. Victorian and kind of 'I'm-so-much-better-than-you' and that's just not me. I guess part of it was I was always called Sam, except by the lucky few I allowed to call me 'Sammi' because I am suck a huge tomboy. lol. When I first came to EWFN, when the casting calls were first starting, I used 'Sammi'. Don't ask me why. *shrug* But it stuck, and when I came here, I was sick of how childish and webby 'frodozfan81' looks.

ImperfectTears - This is probably one of my favorites. It started at this poetry site, GothicTears.com (which is dying! *crys*) where I could not think of a 'gothic' enough screenname so I came up with that after a while. Now, I frequent that sn. I use it on ScarletFiction, MOE, PotterProphecy and it's even for my GFX journal.

Sly - Huge thank you to Jessity for this name. Ask her where it came from, if you really truly want to know. ;) But I like it. Partly because my last name can be translated into a rare way to say 'fox' and foxes are sly...:tsk:

Samithen - Credit for this one goes to my friend Sarah (offline). I don't know where she came up with it, but Kudos to her for it!

Raine isn't my real name. **hears gasps in the background** Yes yes shocking isn't it? **coughs** Anywho my real name is April Camille Macapagal. The name's nice but I didn't want my real name to go out... Raine Coleman is the best alias I've even came up with! I think I might even change my real name to Raine (Not Coleman though... Macapagal is a pretty cool last name too)

Reasons for why I named myself Raine Coleman?

Coleman- Gun Smith Cats' Roy Coleman! He's too cool and I think he's character's the classic detective. (I also love that last name)

Raine- I have no idea. I'M SERIOUS! All I remember was naming myself from Andrea, to Flow, to... I just kept naming myself things until I thought of Raine! I wish I knew how I got that name I really wish I knew...

Anywho... next?

;-) That's amazing! I wish I though of it.

Wow! I've always wondered about how you got up that name ^_^

**LOL** Elfs are down! That's great... **tear**

Payasa- I love your icon...

Everyones name's are kool but I just wanted to comment on a couple.

Actually the name Logan is very sexy!!!

Reminds me of Wolverine from X-Men... *gasp* MUST STOP
with the LOGAN fancying... XD...

anyway.... It's not boring.. The name Logan.. It's SEXY!!! ~_^

Before I begin to talk about my internet handles...
My real name is Rebeca Rivera. That's the name
I was given at birth.. XD.. hee hee...
And these are the fake names or the handles I go by...

Feng Rui Bin- This is my name is Cantonese...
(Chinese) Got it from one of those name translator thingies...
I only use this name in hotmail messenger..
MSN Messenger I mean...

catboyismine- It's very self explanatory really...
CAT Boy is mine.. ~_^
I created the boy... This is my LJ username...

Jade Owner Of CAT Boy-
(also spelled as JadeOwnerOfCatBoy, JadeOwnerOfCATBoy,
or Jade Owns CAT Boy) The first part, which is the name Jade.
I just really like that name. I don't know why. And then the
Owner of CAT Boy part is pretty self explanatory too.

B. Rivera- This is the signature I use to sign
all my artwork. It's stands for Becky Rivera. yes....
My name is Rebeca...

EXTRAS:

villain666- My Yahoo Messenger name....
I'm a villain... Always have, always been, always will be...
Of the 666 type.. XD... Muahahah..

xxAdrielAngelic- My AIM username, which I only use
for the X-MEN RP that I'm part of... My character base is
Elijah Wood, BTW.. muahah.... RPing is fun.. heh heh..

xxadrielxx- Also from the RP, another LJ I keep for
my character. If you're curious this is what I'm talking about... http://www.livejournal.com/userinfo.bml?user=xxadrielxx
Role Playing is FUN.. ^^;;

And that's it!! *bows*

*runs off*

I'm deeply and thoroughly in love with my nickname. I've been using it for about 3 years now I think. I was looking for names of Goddesses one day and after some searching I saw this one.. Aurora, the goddess of dawn.. and I instantly loved the name.. I don't know, it's just perfectly perfect in my eyes, hahah. And beside that, Bjork also has a song called Aurora and it's pretty so I decided to take it. And keep it. ^_^

Wow.. I didn't know that it was the nme of a goddess! good to know!!!

i liked ur stories!

mine is a bit too simple:

my real name is Maria Sol Accinelli, right? and if u translate it: Marie Sun. the thing is that i have an older sister, and she's already been called Maria, so i've always been called Sol. So i chosed to be Sun here, as i'm speaking english! and it's cool, i guess :unsure: . the bad thing is that ppl always connect it with light and the color yellow... :blink:

The Achinelloy (or just Achy) nickname, which i had back in ewfn, came from the 1st day of school in a new school. they misspeled and wrote Accinelloi, and for more than a week every teacher said "Accinelloi" and ppl laughed cuz i was sick of saying it was without the "o"!!! well, it stuck and i made it look cooler with the "y" and "ch". and then to make it shorter my friends called me Achy (by the way, that's how my mother calles my father).

weird story...
oh! and my sister is called Machi!

(this was my 666th post!)

I guess most of my name is pretty self- explanitory. When I started over a year ago on EWFN I was a huge Lij fan and even though I'm not so much of one any more as I am of Orlando I didn't want to switch names coming here.
I'm not a fan of change so I just kept it.
The number '14' is my favorite hockey players number and my favorite number in general. :)

I had some thinking with my AIM name... FrohardoryBP14. It's basically a mix of Frodo and Harry Potter.
FrohardoryBP14
FrohardoryBP14
The 'B' is for Baggins. The 'P' is for Potter. Then the 14 is the same reason as above.

~Stacy~

Hmm...I have quite a few aliases on the internet...let's see here...


EWGirl112 ~ EW for Elijah Wood...Girl--well that's sort of obvious, lol, and 112 is my boyfriend's birthday--11-2

DBgurl112 ~ This is my AIM Screen Name. DB are my boyfriend's initials and the rest is the same as above..except I dont know WHY I spelled 'girl' G-U-R-L *shudders*

Frodo's Girl ~ My EWFN Screen Name...I really dont like it anymore because I came up with it at a time when I was all fan-girly and stuff *shudders again* But I dont really pay attention to the Screen Name anymore, lol..I try to ignore it.

Calico ~ My A & F Screen Name...I was doing some name finders and I did this one Pirate name finder and it said that my pirate name was Calico Bess, and since I didnt like Bess I dropped it and just used Calico...I'm rather fond of this one.

Calico_Jess ~ This is my LJ name...and I dont know WHY I didnt think of changing Bess to Jess for my A & F Screen Name, lol. Calico is from the pirate name finder and Jess is from my real name, Jessica.

SweetDesire ~ I forgot what site this is for, but I remember using it...it's really kinda corny, heh

jessica1_1_2 ~ For my YIM...I was trying to register with Yahoo and EVERYTHING having to do with the name Jessica was taken...even Jessica112...so I improvised and came up with the 1_1_2, hehe. I'm so smart.

butterflykisses999 ~ For MSN, this was my very first Screen Name...and since 'butterflykisses' was taken, my uncle suggested the numbers 999. I chose 'butterflykisses' because I really really liked the country song.

Heh Kat is boring...Kat is shortened Katelyn...my two bestest buds EVER call me Kat, and I love it.

I've also been:

Poopsmith which is from Homestarrunner.com...it's the funniest!!

Weedles, which is my dog

BlueLagoon which just popped into my head one day, and it sounds mystic hee hee...kinda reminds me of peter pan and the the mermaid lagoon

ItalianSoda...those things are sooo good!!

Ok the1ringrulesdaworld stems from my LOTR obbsession. Also it does, the ring in the book represents power and what you can do with it and what it does to you and well it does rule this world power. I think I need more than 7 characters in a name so I came up with it and well I like so it stays.

My other one is spannyka which I don't use here is basically a nick name. Coming from a friend called anna nickname spanner, and as we can both shorten our names to Annie she decided to put spanna into my name and hence spannyka and I like so its stuck

My username story is basically like Ryvyan's...I went to Barrowdowns.com and typed in my name, and the hobbit name that popped up was Celandine Maggot of Deephallow. I thought it was cool...so thus, it became my username...a lot better than my elf name, which was Arnostale (ar-naw-stah-lay). It just looks like ar-no-stale (like as in bread going stale) to me, so I thought, nah...

Interesting bit of trivia though...my Uruk-hai name was Krumwakh the Bloody...and I thought it was funny, so that's the name of one of the Uruk-hai in my LOTR fic...the other (Guttrak) is the Uruk-hai name of a guy I liked in junior high...it just amused me...yeah...done rambling now...
