| the name you use to login, how did it come about?
Mine came from my handle from playing Half-Life. | |
| Paisleyskye 2002-08-02, 10:12 am |
| My username came about very simply. My nickname in school was always Skye, and I always said if I had a daughter I'd name her Paisley.
When I had a daughter I named her Sarah, so when it came time to find a username Paisleyskye just seemed to fit.
I have since received e-mails from people in Scotland telling me that there actually is a place called Paisley in a place called Skye over there. Highly coincidence - but very cool. | |

| Mauwakee 2002-08-02, 1:11 pm |
| It my name in Shawnee. The real spelling of it is Muhkwau or Mukwauau depends on the time area. My particular tribe Sipaasee wee linnee (which means panther) spelled it Mauwakee, which means Bear. If the bear is coming towards you, it is a wild bear. If the bear is going away from you, it is a running bear. Running Bear caught on at my fire department and that is what they call me LOL. By the way, for those over seas and not in USA, Shawnee is a Native American Indian Nation. | |

| RichardJW 2002-08-02, 4:44 pm |
| Shortened version of my name: actually I'm posting in the MS usenet groups as Richard Warwick with an e-mail client - bit confusing but there you are. Why? It enforces some sense of responsibility about what I post. | |

| wicket 2002-08-03, 12:58 am |
| I was listening to an ice cube song called wicked and every time he said wicked it sounded like wicket.... to the point I started singing along using the word wicket instead. I figured it was an original nick and have used it for about 7 years now... I now even have a last name to boot...a complete alter ego if you will..... it's the name I use to fill out web forms or when some bastard has already registered my nick!! Wicket Jones | |
| CyberDude 2002-08-03, 3:16 am |
| Hi Wicket, do you play Cricket as well? | |

| thecomeons 2002-08-03, 5:24 am |
| it the name of this punk band i was in a number of years ago. i registered with several unsigned sites and other free music organisations with this name. i just decided it would be easier to register with everything with the same name, that way i'd remember it easily enough. | |
|
| ....the name of an imaginary dog I had as a child. | |
| Pavlov 2002-08-03, 8:46 am |
| Mine is the name of the Russian psychologist that must have studied that imaginary dog all those years ago
Next question - ah - never mind - it should be a new thread. | |
| enforcer 2002-08-05, 6:47 am |

| I used to fix washing machines in my spare time while at Uni, a lot of people at the local hostelry had me fix there washers, and as most women overfill machines, bearings didn't last long, so I became Sh*t hot at replacing them....
Pretty boring hey...But you all know where to come when your washer goes west..... | |

| SPID - Service Profile Identifier (fancy name for an ISDN phone number).
When I had my ISDN line installed about 5 years ago (which I don't have anymore - switched to cable ), I purchase a 3COM ImpactIQ ISDN terminal (modem). It had this little software gadget called the SPID Wizard. At work, we started talking about how cool this little config utility was, and the guys at work started calling me Spid after that.
To this day the nickname has stuck. | |
|
| Is started a thread about this a while back where I explained my nickname.
I used to teach at MIT, and a group of my students visited me during office hour, which was a first. I was reading a linguistics book -- I am a linguistics major after all  -- and they called me a freak for enjoying Noam Chomsky's book and reading them when I don't have to. It stuck.
Not as entertaining a story as you would have wished for, I am sure | |
| enforcer 2003-03-24, 6:19 am |
| we never got Deja to explain his. lets see if we can get some more explanations | |
| thecomeons 2003-03-24, 6:38 am |
| maybe he was himself in a former life. hence, deja vue. | |
| enforcer 2003-03-24, 6:50 am |
| haven't you said that before | |
| thecomeons 2003-03-24, 6:52 am |
| it's not so much a case of deja vu with me. i just repeat myself. | |

| cruss575 2003-03-24, 7:35 am |
| just my assigned username in college. it is kinda nice that you can be fairly certain that you can have the same name everywhere you want to register. | |
| DemiGod 2003-03-24, 7:52 am |
| It's a runing joke in our family. You see my husband and sister claim they are immortal and will never die. And they rule the kingdom.
In order for you to advance in the heirarchy you have to earn points. So far I have the most points in the kingdom and they dubbed me DemiGod. | |

Well it's an interesting point system.
You earn points for several things like
taking care of the "Gods", making sarcastic comments, putting people in their place, a funny joke, etc.
Pretty much if they like it - they'll give ya points. | |

| Forsaken 2003-03-25, 2:37 pm |

I just have a bunch of Deja vu moments.
3 types:
déjà vecu (already experienced)
déjà senti (already felt)
déjà visité (already visited)
most people have these moments every other month, i experience them on a weekly base, sometimes very realistic.
anyways, Dejavu was already taken, so Deja-vue is it.
And i think, we had this Discussion before...(not kidding, Netchild should remember as well) | |
