What does your username mean??

christie_greece 09 Sep 10 at 11:29 a.m. GMT

I've seen really clever username on this site, and I've also seen some that I can't explain. Why did you chose this username???

Well I chose christie_greece because I wanted something rellevant to AC. My real name is Christine, and my friends usually call me Christie. But the username christie was unavailable. I really liked it thought, so I decided to change it into christie_greece so that anyone can see I'm greek and forgive me about my mistakes in English. :D

This is my story. I look forward hearing your stories!!!!

There is no real intresting story behind my username! Brigid is my first name and McMorrow my last, so I kind of combined them.

fijjit

I'm named after my pet duck, sadly deceased.

Could be worse, could be the other way around!

snowymountainsmick 25 Jan 12 at 7:02 a.m. GMT

Mine is Snowy Mountains Mick (all one word in my user name). Pretty simple, I was working as the Manager of Security at a prison far, / afforestation camp in the Snowy Mountains in New South Wales, Australia, when I had to come up with a username for another online community. First thing that popped into my head, it has been one of my nicknames ever since.

nathatanu0 25 Jan 12 at 5:24 a.m. GMT

"nathatanu0"

nothing clever.. I don't wanted to waste time on choosing that clever username !!!

so, "nathatanu0"="nath"+"atanu"+"0"

"nath" is my second name which means "SAVIOR"... 

"atanu" is the name of the God of Love in Hindu Mythology, the meaning of the word is as follows:

"atanu"="a"+"tanu"

"tanu" means "body" or "appearance" or "form" adding an "a" is a negative effect... so "a-tanu" means, the one who has not own any body... that is who is form-less or have no physical appearence... God of Love was burned to ashes by God Shiva and after that as he lost his body he was named as "Atanu" but his actual name was "Kamadev"... "Kama" is the same that of "kama-sutra"... "Kama" means love or passion... and "sutra" is "formula".... 

Lastly I will talk about the "0" at the end... "0" I always add at the end to remind myself that in this whole universe where even the age of earth is like a bubble to the ocean of the time scale of the Universe... so I am nothing but "zero"... so that is why "0"...........

A_N_Omynous 23 Dec 11 at 12:09 a.m. GMT

I chose A_N_Omynous for a few reasons. First, similar to U_N_Owen (In And Then There Were None), my username would be anonymous. I realized that if I switched the 'n' and 'm' it would be pronounced 'ominous' which I thought sounded cool as an Agatha Christie username. So I ended up with A_N_Omynous.

de_misteri 15 Dec 11 at 1:37 a.m. GMT

I'm getting my book published!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

de_misteri 14 Nov 11 at 11:45 p.m. GMT

My name is de_misteri

It means "Murder Mystery" in Catalan, a language spoken in Spain (I was in Barcelona when I set up my account)

ErkutSoyer 25 Jul 11 at 9:33 a.m. GMT

My username meansErkut:My name

Soyer:My surname

popbubble 25 Jul 11 at 8:57 a.m. GMT

my username is pop ´cause my name is poppy, and bubble is just random!!! 

Dolly_B 08 Jul 11 at 7:38 p.m. GMT

My user name is after a favourite character in a favourite book "The Body in the Library."  Her name was Dolly Bantry and she was a good friend of Jane Marple.

fijjit 01 Jul 11 at 7:38 p.m. GMT

I'm named after my pet duck, sadly deceased.

na_well 01 Jul 11 at 5:10 a.m. GMT

My username is sort of the pronounciation of my given name (Nahuel). In Spanish we do not pronounce the "h" so my name would be like saying na-uel (stressing the second part). But I thought it would be cooler to add well, which sounds similar to uel in Spanish.

belgian_in_ireland 26 Jun 11 at 5:35 p.m. GMT

My username is simple.  I was born and lived in Belgium until I was 38 and then moved to Ireland.  So I'm Belgian in Ireland.

Nofret 23 Jun 11 at 11:12 a.m. GMT

Fascinated by the story behind your username, Nightrayduck, I'd been wondering about it for some time. I chose Nofret because I love Egypt, not only as a great place to holiday, but a fascinating ancient civilisation to study. Really enjoyed Death Comes as the End, what a lot of research went into the creation of Imhotep's household. Unfortunately I found the heroine, Renisenb, completely wet and uninteresting, so took on the persona of the dark, sultry temptress (I'm actually blonde!)

christie_greece 22 Jun 11 at 1:52 p.m. GMT

Belgian_Bulldog

I chose my name because I have been saying for many years that, if I ever got a French bulldog, I would name him Hercule, and whenever anyone said, "oh, what a cute little French bulldog," I would say, in my best Poirot voice, "he is NOT a little French bulldog!  He is a little BELGIAN bulldog!"

LOL! Nice idea :)

LauraPoirot 21 Jun 11 at 2:19 p.m. GMT

Yes Agatha is a great name but I don't know someone with this name in person =( Ray, PLEASE go on looking for a publisher! It would be great if I could read something of this "stuff"  someday!

regards =)

christie_greece 21 Jun 11 at 1:59 p.m. GMT

My sister's name is Agatha, too! :)

NightRayDuck 21 Jun 11 at 6:06 a.m. GMT

@Agathasmykid - That's so nice! Agatha is a classy name. :-)

NightRayDuck 21 Jun 11 at 6:04 a.m. GMT

Thank you christie! Thank you Laura! I do write a lot of stuff. I just need to focus on finding publishers or editors.. My imagination runs too wild and then I forget to find a publisher, lol.

Agathasmykid 20 Jun 11 at 10:03 p.m. GMT

Mine is probably self explanitory, however if not, here's a clue....guess what we named our first born ;)

LauraPoirot 20 Jun 11 at 7:51 p.m. GMT

Yes I must really say NightRayDuck has a great Fantasy and can describe really well!  also the musicbox in the off topic discussion, this is absolutly great! Hey Ray did you try to write a story or poems, already? I really would if I were you! my (amateur) opinion is: you've got talent! But please let us know if you do so!

regards, Laura

christie_greece 20 Jun 11 at 1:32 p.m. GMT

NightRayDuck

hm hm... I've always been fascinated by an imagery of a very dark, though cloudless, sky at night, but lit up by, for example, crackling lines of lightning. (I mean, sometimes the storm clouds distribute so evenly in the sky, one cannot see that they're a whole lot of clouds, and perceive instead a clear sky without stars.) And then, on a whim, I add to that imagery a domesticated duck paddling or waddling in or near a pond on the ground, looking up at the lightning, and probably not feeling impressed at all. 

I think I can imagine this scene. It so well-discribed. I can even see it! Really interesting story behind this username

LauraPoirot 18 Jun 11 at 6:04 p.m. GMT

very_vera sounds nice 'though I don't like vera rossakoff... and I pretend that Poirot isn't fallen for her. That would made hate out of dislike

very_vera 18 Jun 11 at 5:50 p.m. GMT

I like the character Vera Rosakoff, the Russian Countess that I believe H. Poirot is in love with.  So, I am very vera!

LauraPoirot 17 Jun 11 at 1:53 p.m. GMT

Mine is nothing spectacular. I really love Hercule Poirot and Laura is my first name. This way I got to LauraPoirot.

christie_greece 17 Jun 11 at 11:14 a.m. GMT

Well, so far I've heard interesting stories. But I'm sure that that there are many more.

HarleyBarley 06 Oct 10 at 3:44 a.m. GMT

HarleyBarley is kind of a tangled username. I chose it because I am one of the people captivated by the mysterious Harley Quin. I wanted to use his name, but I fear that I might taint others' impressions of him by my misconduct, and thus decided to use the name of his doppelganger-scarecrow. Bonus points for HarleyBarley rhyming!

cameronjhw 05 Oct 10 at 8:51 p.m. GMT

I know my username is a little weak because Cameron is my real name but I chose jhw because they are the initials of a famous literary character in British and crime fiction: John H. Watson.

xrysoula 21 Sep 10 at 5:35 p.m. GMT

Indeed, many of my friends do, they just don 't discuss their reads on the internet like we do here - they prefer facebook, farmville etc - you know!

christie_greece 21 Sep 10 at 2:07 p.m. GMT

your username xrysoula was one of the most obvious (for me, of course!). I'm glad to see that I'm not the only Greek in this site. I always thought that the Greeks don't read many books. But I've been proved wrong, and I'm really happy!!

xrysoula 21 Sep 10 at 10:42 a.m. GMT

Mine is very simple too. Xrysoula is my real name, as I 'm sure every Greek fan here must have realised! In order to be pronounced correctly, it should be spelled as "Chrisoula", though.Τhe correspondent name in English would be something like Goldy, I guess.

kagee 16 Sep 10 at 9:27 p.m. GMT

my username here is in order not to entangle with my other usernames, as I have been trying to get onto this site for over a year now and was the first site I tried after getting a new computer.  k starts my first name and Agee is my middle name.

Forgive any errors in transmission and feel free to help my internet technology!  I'm getting a "Done, with errors," every time I try to post a reply.

Aurora 16 Sep 10 at 6:54 p.m. GMT

Mine is really easy. Itailians don't recognise my real name so I use the Latin.

christie_greece 13 Sep 10 at 10:01 a.m. GMT

Not Ivana, Ivi is a greek name.

ivi21 12 Sep 10 at 2:14 p.m. GMT

Really? I didn´t know that my name has a greek variant. I think Ivana is Slavonic name. And I´m from Slovakia.

christie_greece 12 Sep 10 at 1:10 p.m. GMT

I thought you were greek. Ivi is a greek name (Ήβη) that I think means youth.

ivi21 12 Sep 10 at 9:29 a.m. GMT

Mine is very simple, but if you want know: My real name is Ivana, so I just shortened it to ivi and 21 is my age. 

Tommy_A_Jones 11 Sep 10 at 5:52 p.m. GMT

I have had previous usernames but I am really happy with my Current one as it is made up of 3 Characters I love, Tommy Beresford Bobby Jones and the A stands for Alan as in Alan Cade, so my Username is made up of 3 Characters I not only like but would love to be like, Adventurous, Whimsical and I think all 3 arre Rakish but if I am wrong with that when it comes to Alan Cade I can live with that as he is in my head.

christie_greece 11 Sep 10 at 11:09 a.m. GMT

christie_greece 10 Sep 10 at 2:25 p.m. GMT

I know, I know....Oh, I miss you soooo much....:*)

froso 10 Sep 10 at 2:22 p.m. GMT

well, my username has been chosen with less imagination than yours:P

so my name is froso which is a short for effrosyni (ευφροσυνη) which means exhilaration :) but I guess you already know all these things that I've just said, don't you christie_greece?? since I was 3 years old,i'd say... :D

christie_greece 10 Sep 10 at 10:36 a.m. GMT

Ok, but tell me why did you chose your username?

Pongo 10 Sep 10 at 10:33 a.m. GMT

I like the name christie_greece too!!!! I will call you CG as well if that is ok with you.

christie_greece 10 Sep 10 at 9:47 a.m. GMT

OK!!!

MissQuin 09 Sep 10 at 6:17 p.m. GMT

Lol, I'm so lazy! CG it will be then.

christie_greece 09 Sep 10 at 4:04 p.m. GMT

You can call me whatever you like!!!! I think CG is better because you won't have to type a lot...

MissQuin 09 Sep 10 at 3:48 p.m. GMT

I'm too lazy to keep typing Chrisite_Greece! lol Chrisite, Greece, CG, ChrisG are any of those ok?

christie_greece 09 Sep 10 at 3:43 p.m. GMT

I can't see what you mean... If you can call me with a nickname to avoid writing the full name???

MissQuin 09 Sep 10 at 3:35 p.m. GMT

You flatter me Chrisite Greece, but do you have a nickname? Like CG ChristG?

christie_greece 09 Sep 10 at 3:33 p.m. GMT

Your username, MissQuin, was one of my favorite names in this site!!!:)

MissQuin 09 Sep 10 at 2:51 p.m. GMT

Mines pretty obvious! I love Mr Quin, but I'm female, so Miss Quin.
