Phoenix Fire · 09-08-2003, 12:12 AM

Hmmm, Phoenix: Mythological egyptian bird. Fire: Really hot thing.
Phoenixes are hot things, thus that is the logic of it all. Um,yeah... how I'm connected to a Phoenix I will never tell!!! Unless someone asks...

I've never really used any really cool names for anything. Just plain names. I just wanted to get one of the most popular names a TMNT board could get before it was gone. Luckily there weren't that many members.

Sparvid · 09-08-2003, 03:46 AM

Quite long story too. Short version: a friend called me a long long time ago, a couple of other friends "came up" with it by their selves years later, and I thought, "Hey, what a good name to use online, since it always avaliable everywhere!"

Explanation:
First name: Arvid
First two letters on last name: Sp
And "sparv" in swedish means "sparrow" so the full nick does have at least some meaning to it...

*Taloniss* · 09-08-2003, 04:32 AM

Was my name in a game I played.

Quiller-Bee · 09-08-2003, 05:19 AM

Mine's kinda dumb, I'll admit. Anyway, here goes:

I'm an illustrator by trade. One of my favorite phases of the illustration process is the inking stage. One of my inking tools of preference is the Hunt's #102 quill nib . . . that's where the "Quiller" part comes from . . . and it sounds kinda like "Killer". I work like a bee, so combine that with "Quiller" and you have the "Quiller-Bee's" lame-ass username.

**Barkworm** · 09-08-2003, 06:18 AM

Mine is dumb, too. A few years ago my brother and I tried to register on Audiogalaxy with a lot of famous nicknames like Aragorn and stuff which weren't accepted of course. Then my brother said all of a suddden: "I bet there's know one in the whole world who would call him/herself "barkworm"!"" Since then I use that username (or its German version) everywhere I register.

*gobo* · 09-08-2003, 07:41 AM

Super Fraggle-jin 90210 Gobo (that's a lot of levels!) was the beloved pet of Goku Jr. who just had a thing for names that start with 'Go'... and Muppets. Blame my love of puns and Jim Henson. 90210 is just an iconic number. Wasn't it a show once upon a time?

It stuck.

Wow, I never realized we had so many people on this forum with Irish heritage.. (Myself included, hence my last name: O'Neill)

impetus · 09-08-2003, 09:57 AM

I found mine in the dictionary while looking for cool words.

It was bestowed upon me by an incredible force due to my extreme awesomeness.

If that's the case, I must say... You so totally reek of awesomeness!

**HorseTechie** · 09-08-2003, 11:29 AM

Mine is really a long, funky story.

Originally, I used to go by HorseTurtle, when I solely hung out on TMNT listservs and stuff. My avatar was just another mutant turtle that time too. It was like a Turtley way of saying I was horse woman or a horse person.

But when I left the horse business, and started dabbling in more computer/technology based things... my mood changed. My avatar appearance also became that of a turtle-horse hybrid, with cybernetic features. Then this idea of being an Internet loving, cyber horse junkie grew on me, and I started using HorseTechie in more and more places.

*Mars-Chan* · 09-08-2003, 11:40 AM

Don't laugh...okay?
I was watching "Sailor Moon" one day.....blast you, CN!!! *shakes her fists* ....and I was trying to figure out a cool name for my character. When Mars came onto the screen, it hit me....MARS. It stuck with me after that. That's where I got the name for Mars. Besides...how else would the boys call her...Mona Lisa?!?

Aaron · 09-08-2003, 12:45 PM

My screename is just my real name.

*Mars-Chan* · 09-08-2003, 12:48 PM

Good choice of screen name, Aaron! ^^

Donatello007 · 09-08-2003, 01:11 PM

Wow Aaron your SN is soo original. I wish mine was that original....

*Mars-Chan* · 09-08-2003, 01:13 PM

Well, you don't have to be sarcastic, Don!

Eternelle · 09-08-2003, 01:28 PM

Éternelle was the name my best friend in Quebec gave me when she made a comic-strip based on her everyday life. Why she picked it, I never bothered to ask. In case you were wondering, Éternelle is French for eternal.

*Mars-Chan* · 09-08-2003, 01:30 PM

I did not know that...
There's something you learn every day! ^^
