The meaning of my user name is when I joined the forums, I was starting my fandom of MK.

Janus Prospero · 08-10-2007, 10:59 AM

Janus Prospero was the code name for Milla Jovovich's character in the movie Resident Evil. I didn't think the movie was even that great or anything, but I thought that the combination of words sounded so cool and mysterious I decided to use it.

Janus is the two-faced Roman god of gates, doors, doorways, beginnings, and endings.

Prospero is the main character in the Shakespeare play, The Tempest.

My father Odin gave me my name when he disowned me and banished me from Asgard forever. The asshole.

Swany · 08-10-2007, 11:13 AM

My surname is Swan, and all my friends call me Swany. So on and so forth.

Annoyingly "swany" is scottish slang for "toilet" as in, "everythings gone down the swany" Good times.

Spawn Guy · 08-10-2007, 11:16 AM

I kinda meant to ask about that...

Shouldn't your name be Loki then?

SassyGal · 08-10-2007, 12:22 PM

My nickname is one that Ram Bam gave me early in our marriage as I am quite lippy and sarcastic on a regular basis...it's my sense of humor people. It's not always something that translates in written form, but it is quite the audio gift to all those around me

Mine is the name of the most advanced tank in the Imperial Japanese military during the Second World War. (And it was prehistoric junk compared to most other tanks that fought in that war!

)

For those who are interested, there were two versions: the regular with the short 57mm cannon, and the Shinhoto version with a new turret and a long 47mm cannon. And the Japanese Army tended to use the tanks poorly.

jenna · 08-10-2007, 02:09 PM

Interesting thread!

Jenna is, quite simply and very unoriginally, my name. Short for Jennifer. People call me Jenna or Jen.

*cowabunga14* · 08-10-2007, 02:17 PM

It's pretty obvious when I got cowabunga from, but I added the 14 because my birthday is on April 14th.

JetsAndHeels · 08-10-2007, 03:14 PM

I'm a big New York Jets and UNC Tarheels fan.

More like a manic fanatic actually.

*Raph's Girl* · 08-10-2007, 03:29 PM

The origin of Raph's Girl is a bit obvious...im slightly Raph obsessed (with both the turtle and the Renaissance artist). But not as obssessed as others. *caughs*

Anyways...another name I go by is Dierna, as those from the TMNT yahoo groups know. Dierna was the name of a high priestess of Avalon in 2 of the books in the Avalon saga by Marion Zimmer Bradley and Diane L. Paxson (The Lady of Avalon and Priestess of Avalon) It's one of my FAVE book series next to the Kushiel series.

And ANOTHER name I go by online is Shodu Warrick. She's a rather obscure Star Wars character. The mother of Wicket the Ewok in the Ewok movies, comics, and animated series.

But most people call me Dierna, Di, Raph's Girl, and RG. Only a chosen few can call me by my RL name (which someday will be Dierna)

Sunshine · 08-10-2007, 03:36 PM

Yeah my other online name is Moonaticsam the name I use throughout pretty much the entire internet. I used to be a HUGE Sailor Moon fan. (I prefer the real show not the english version that cut about 50% of everything and changed what was left) And my name (Ok nickname that will someday be my real name) Is Samantha or Sam for short.

So Moonatic Sam. Which just became Moonaticsam. Yeah not very original >_<
