Mine is easy, i’m Tim and i’m a becile.

Made my username on one of my lack-of-imagination days.

I have dog. His name is Bubba.

Gary Gnu of The Great Space Coaster.

Combination of the Legendary Druid of Norrath known as Oakbrow Farwalker, and Elminster, Sage of Shadowvale. Sometimes we play poker with Gandalf and Raistlin.

mine is part of my “holy” name from back in my dischordian college days. I forgot most of it but the gyst was:

Pope Jewish the Furst, Exalted King of Buds, Ninju of the 8th dan and Protector of Things Worth Protecting (PTWIP)

My grandmother was a French Catholic (hence the Pope. Plus every dischordian considers him/herself a pope) and my grandfather was a German Jew (and everyone on my mother’s side is also Jewish), hence the Jewish. Buds and 8th refer to pot, while a “dan” is a ranking in Bujinkan Ninjutsu, a martial art I studied, and Ninju being a combination of Ninpo (practitioner of ninjutsu) Ninja (obvious) and “jew.” My last name is Furst. so there ya go.

and PTWIP is pronounced “pih-twip”

and yes, I had a lot of time for this sort of nonsense back in college :smiley:

Jophiel is, in non-scriptural Judaic tradition, the cherubim who was sent to drive Adam & Eve from the Garden of Eden and guard over the Tree of Life. He’s the first angel mentioned in the bible (although not by name). He’s typically considered to be one of the archangels.

Way back in the misty dawn of the internet as we know it, I had wanted a handle that reflected my interest in religion. Most of the obvious choices were taken so I settled on Jophiel who was an interesting enough character to name myself after but obscure enough that I wasn’t arguing with ^^jophiel^^ on IRC over why I stole “his” name. Of course, the internet being as large as it is these days, it’s a rare place where I can nab the name unless it’s a new site.

“Pullet” is the name for an adolescent Hen.

Though, if that test turns pink, I may need to change my user name.

Unfortunately it is a good adjective to use when describing the lateral curvature of my spine.

I’m not new.

There was a toy gorilla on the desk when I joined.

I love sharks.

And one day, they will probably eat me.

When I first discovered Runescape, and that I liked it, I wanted a character name easy to remember and funny (at least to me, I have the humour of a 12 year old boy). I liked Litoris, since it sounds like a medieval name and it’s funny – my secondary character is male and his name is Crotum – also sounds good for a big hulking guy in a fantasy role-playing game, also funny. I used to have both signed in and would walk them around together :smiley: It makes me smile.

The name stuck. I have meat-friends who have me on their Myspace page (I kept the name there so my Runescape friends could find me) that have introduced me to their other meat-friends as “litoris.”

I was obsessed with the Beatles. I wanted a name that would be a clever, if not completely obvious reference. Pepperland from Yellow Submarine, girl because I’m a girl (and it’s also a Beatles song).

I’m getting a little tired of it, though. I’ve mulled changing it to Muzzle of Bees or simply PepperLG. I keep meaning to ask opinions, but then I’m too lazy to start a thread (plus probably nobody cares but me).

I started surfing the net unsupervised ten years ago (yikes!). As a way to dissuade possible a/s/l conversations, I picked this name.

Karl for Karl Marx, as it is a running joke in the family that I was named after him. Grenze for what it means in German, it is my surname.

The AllWalker is what I aspire to. For example, ask different people what they see when they look at a tree. An artist will see the beautiful flowing forms, the colours and the light and shadow. A gardener will see one piece in a larger aesthetic puzzle. A carpenter sees the wood and imagines what wonders he can create with it. A biologist sees the fanastic quirk of evolution, a self-assembled solar powered factory. A biochemist sees the mind-bogglingly complex process of photosynthesis and growth. A musician hears the tree as much as he sees it.

The AllWalker does all these things, and more.

Plus, it sounds damn cool.

I’m Johnny, and when I signed up I lived in L.A.

Mine is my nickname in real life, but most people IRL just call me bean.

I used to be Rez, which was a shortened version of my old last name (but not anymore, which is why I changed it).

Before that I was ellykat, a mix of Ella and Alley Cat. But it was too reminicent of Smelly Cat from friends so I changed it.

So yes, I’ve had three names.

If you’re ever camping, and find your dishes mysteriously washed, or a pile of firewood appears next to your pit, think of me.

You could also leave a beer next to a tree at the edge of the campsite.

I’ll moidalize ya! Nyah, see, nyah!
