I’m kinda short, kinda little…kinda Pixie-ish. But Pixie’s a little too girly. And I’m kinda smart, kinda interested in computers…and the -oid part was just kinda…weird. So I liked it.

That is news to me. I hear raincoat more often. This looks like it could be a new thread.

PS I apologize for any unwanted emails that you have received due to the other parties misinterpretation (sp?) of your nick.
Well, I just decided that if I was going to offer my opinions to people, I wanted to use my real name.
Besides, it’s not like some psycho could track me down. There are, I trust, quite a few “Jasmine’s” in the world, so I think I’m safe.
This is NOT, however, in any way, shape or form a criticism of people who use “handles”, so you just put those flamethrowers away :)!
Ah, so now I get to talk about my nickname! Needless to say, others have talked quite a bit about it…
First of all, so many people walk around acting like they’re God. If nothing else, I certainly get to show that I am not guilty of that!
The fact is, I love the shock value. And with the exception of a few Christian militia types I’ve run across, nobody seems offended, and in fact, many have come up with very humorous commentary about it, and I’m all for humor.
There’s a hockey player for the Buffalo Sabres named Satan (pronounced Shay-ton or something like that) and I’ll just claim I’m a big fan of him when I do run into anyone who finds offense. That certainly bewilders them…

I want a Satan jersey, but I have to go up to Buffalo to get one…
Flora McFlimsey was the heroine of a very funny mid-19th century poem about a society girl (“Flora McFlimsey of Gramercy Square,” I believe) who was all upset because “she had nothing to wear.” Liked the name, liked the poem, liked the gal.
I am a Stevie Ray Vaughan fanatic. 'Nuff said.
Mine is biblical. In the book of Acts we’re introduced to a person named Eutychus who was sitting in a second floor window listening to the apostle Paul preach. Paul taking his cue from any good Southern Baptist preacher, went on and on into the night. Eutychus, I’m sure tried his best to stay awake, but as the sermon got longer and longer, Eutychus got sleepier and sleepier, and eventually fell asleep.
And promptly fell out ther window.
Although no miracles are attested to his name, nor any good works, I have chosen to take my name from one who, I believe, can be rightly called the patron saint of all those who fall asleep in church.

I originally used this name on AOL just because it shares a few letters with my real given name (Paul). I soon learned that the ambiguity among the cute Disney dog, the cold, distant planet, and the Roman god of the underworld was a bit of an icebreaker and I just got used to it.

Eutychus, IIRC wasn’t your namesake “taken up dead”, Paul stopped preaching long enough to raise him from the dead and then carried on? I’ve sat through sermons like that. Lyle Lovett wrote a funny song about the preacher going on and on…

I was a lurker for quite a while and just started posting a couple of days ago, I was sooo nervous, silly, huh?
Any way in case anyone is interested- this is how I came up with StStell: I have a wonderful dog, a St. Bernard named Stella, therefore StStella was easy to remember and make me smile when I see it.
I’m a Chief Petty Officer in the Navy.
My first name is Scott.
Voila.
In 1989 I was staff at AOL’s predecessor PC-Link, and used my patron saint, who was Bishop of Smyrna and martyred twice at age 86 (don’t ask), as my screen name. When I joined this board, I re-used it.
Gaudere: As far as pronunciation in French is concerned, it would resemble Go There, but “there” pronounced as many Americans (and English-speaking Canadians) do, i.e. “dere”. BTW, there’s no French word I can think of which would be etymologically derived from that word.
P.S.: In Latin, Matt had the general idea, IMHO. Plus, I like the “cow” and “dairy” bit I believe the word would be correctly pronounced GOW-DAY-RAY but with the “day” and the “ray” in a brief rather than elongated form (i.e. as if you had “da” instead of “dayyyyyy” and “ra” instead of “rayyyyy”). If you get my drift 
Pluto: Make that a Greek god of the underworld and you’ve got yourself a triple-crown winner! 
Oh, crap. Now I have no idea how to pronounce my own name. Well, I am making an executive decision here. “Gaudere” will not be pronounced to rhyme with “cow-dairy” (how undignified), but will be pronounced “Gau-DERE”, to rhyme with “so THERE!” as in “It’s my dang name and I’ll pronounce it how I like–so THERE!”
Thanks for your help, Matt and omniscientnot.

My favorite song is Ice Ice Baby,and i wanted to be alliterative. I thought of vanillaspice,but that would’ve been dated by now. Out of dice, mice, twicelice,and price,I liked nice best. I’m wondering about Stoidela.
Omniscientnot said, “Pluto: Make that a Greek god of the underworld and you’ve got yourself a triple-crown winner.”
Pluto is the Roman god of the underworld. Hades was the Greek god of the underworld. If you think of it planetarily it will make more sense. All the planets are from the Roman counterparts to the Greek gods. BTW, the underworld was known as Tarterus in Greek mythology.

Brando is my beagle’s name. His full fancy name is “Mutiny on the Beagle”, taken from Brando’s “Mutiny on the Bounty”, “Bounty” = ship = another ship is Darwin’s “Beagle”, beagle = my dog.
I tried for Darwin but I think it was taken.
