have seen some funny/interesting "online" names and wondered...

[TheWatcher]

This one went around a while back. I think my explanation is in there some where. See here.

[Fury]

Mine is from 2 things

1) Kain's Gift Fury
and
2) My mood lol

[worldwideNobody]

i am/was nobody on nosgothic realms, then i got a world wide account, so then i came WorldwideNobody or WWN as most people call me

why am i nobody, it was my mood at the time

[GarciaWOOSH]

The first part is my last name, Garcia
The second part, well, that one is hard to explain... Woosh only has meaning to me and my closest friends... It's what we call ourselves (e.g. "Me and the other woosh are going out "), but it's also so much more... Sorry, I tried to explain it to other ppl that asked it (in my first language) and couldn't. Doing it in English is even harder. What is easy to say is that it has nothing to do with the sound of the wind

[evil_sharkey]

Evil Sharkey was a toy car I played with as a kid. I use his name for pretty much every email account and username I have on the internet. He actually wasn't that important to me, but all the other names I wanted were taken, and I didn't want any numbers or symbols in my name.

Now that I think about it, I should have called myself Purgatori, vampire goddess and enemy of Lady Death. I want to put her picture in my sig, but she wouldn't fit with the name.

[Smoke_Z]

This has been my online name since the time I was paranoid. The full name is Smoke Z Dimensia. Now I will actually respond when someone calls me Smoke.

Elementally, I am not pure fire, I have some wind qualities as well. I stand in between. (According to one system, that would be lightening, but oh well.)

The Z is because of something a teacher had in his lecture. He told us that we were piercing the Z depth or somthing like that. And Dimensia is a play on the word Dimension, but also Demetia.

[card]

hmmm. well, as for mine, it's really nothing to it. my full nickname is grahf card. grahf is the Seeker of Power from Xenogears, not my favourite guy, but i kinda like him.
card just came to me one day and i liked it. then i read some great books written by a man named Orson Scott Card, who immediately occupied a place on my favourites list. so there you go. also, be very very careful when writing my name, never ever use capitals.

[Xplosive]

my original username and nickname in real live is Zephon, not because of the game but because it's the name of the Cerubim Angel who was send after Lucifer, by Michael. by doing this he became a Seraphim Angel (sounds familiar huh *grin*, there are 9 levels of angels, ranging from Angels and Archangels to Cerubim and Seraphim being the highest)
Zephon also is named as "the Seeker of secrets" and "Master of shadow"

IRL i'm part of a group of friends (about 20+) who have known eachother for many years. my part in this group has always been the second place, the back-up leader, in the shadows. this resulted in my friends giving me my nickname (, prior to SR1)
(one never takes a nickname, one earns it by it's actions)

the name was the main reason i started the SR series. i had already played BO1 and so my hunger for LOK began

but Zephon being over populated on this forum , i had to pick another name, resulting in Xplosive. Xplosive because of my explosive nature LOL, so handle with care

[djoey39]

I been through a lot of phases with my name. I remeber about 5 or 6 years ago I used to have a love of the vampire race. Heck, I used to wear sunglasses in HS (indoors) and convinced myself I had fangs (the 2 teeth next to the incissors have a point at the end). I was also went to various rp rooms on aol and played a vampire bartender (man how I have changed) So at first my name was vampirus39 (39 is the date of my birthday March the 9th).

Then I got interested in D'ni. For those who don't know, D'ni was the culture/nation of the Myst games. I would go around and say Shorah to everyone (Shorah means hi in D'ni). Shorah! So my next name was J'osfee3984 (My name is Joseph so I just translated it into D'ni and again my birthdate came up March 9, 1984.) I still had vampirus and when the LOK games came out, I was excited, finally a game for me...

Then when I was 16 I became a Christian. In my church there are deacons and elders and pastors and a bishop (order of title from least to greatest). Every deacon was made a deacon by there pastor. I wanted to become a deacon so I went up to the pastor and asked for it. He told me to study a little more (I was only 6 months into the faith). Then one day our bishop came to visit. When the pastor told him I wanted to become a deacon he told me to come up to the alter. He made me a deacon. I was the only deacon ever to be appointed by our bishop. So I came up with DeaconJoey3984 because I respected that title. It was a blessing for me.

Long story short, 1 year later (I was about 18 at the time) I went to the bishop in one of our services and asked if I can become an Elder. He made me an Apostle (highest of titles in my church, next to the bishop). So then came ApostleJoey3984 . Only used that name for church email and stuff.

I didn't want to offend anyone in the seculiar world (and I got a little tiresome of people PMing,IMing, and emailing me telling me...WOW your a deacon!) so I shortened the name to djoey39. So no, I don't compose music though oddly enough I used to play a trombone and a mean tuba. D=deacon joey=nickname 39=b-day again.

Thank you for reading my long post... 'ppreciate it much...

Edit:My gosh do I make to many smilies...Some grammer and spelling issues...

[Dash]

Simple enough. Dash Rendar. If you like Star Wars you know of him. My other nick is Dangher - this is just an amalgamation of my first and last name with a few letters thrown out 'cause they didn't fit.

[Ilfirin]

My all name is Lady Lilith Ilfirin. My classmate and friend(Fate) tries to learn elvish and so she came to Ilfirin, what means Immortal.
Lilith because we wanted to go on LARP(live action role playing) and she found one vampiric LARP on internet. On their website is a story about them, and there was vampire(or witch, I don't remember) called Lilith.
But my real name is Zuzana(Susan)

[KainOFthehylden]

Dunno why??
I think I wasn't thinking..

[Solin]

I just made my user name up, thing is I have a few variations, On here i Like to called Solin pronounced sol - in not so-lin see!
And then when i had my sex change I wanted a more feminane one so I went for solline. But then I realised that I couldn't change my name on here and had to change all the rest AND get a sex change again.
Ps I later found out the Solin or Solline is the name of a planet in Star wars but guess what its a bloody planet rubbish dump, where people dump rubbish, surprisingly enough.

[Xplosive]

no offence...but why two sex changes?

living in holland this is a normal question to ask

[SentiNel090]

You and Nigel Powers must be real good buddies then
Damn space bar,ain't working right since that Mortal Kombat [4] session...

[Darkmaster]

My name is short for "Master of the Dark Side of the Force" to long,so I cut the Force,put the Dark in front of the Master and there you go.

[AndaPanda]

My name is Alexandra, but everyone calls me Anda, for short. When I was just a few years old, I remember I had a children's poem book, and my favourite poem was one with the AndaPanda bear! I just loved it, so everyone started calling me AndaPanda or just Panda. So it kinda stuck.

There ya go.

[ghostlion88]

I have always been a Ghost Lion. My profile name on any other website is Spacelion88.
See http://spacelion88.deviantart.com/
As is my gamertag on xboxlive & psn, Sometimes I use the name "ghostlion88" when I traverse darker more gothic realms of the universe, like this one.

A blue space lion is my spirit animal form. When I die a blue lion spirit will rise from my corpse.

88 is my birthday in my current incarnation on Earth. 8 is also the # of new beginnings, it is better than God and the Devil (since the devil's # is 6 & God's is 7). And without 8, 7 could not have eaten 9. Da-dun, tsssss! (sorry)
