Explain how you chose your Username.

[Madness Fades]

I picked Madness Fades simply because I liked the lyrics from Lindseys 'Countdown'
and those two words are in the song and sounded well together.

[JWS]

I was really creative and used initials.:laugh:

[gretchen]

well, i really went nuts with this one...my own name :o:p

[Steviefan49]

well, i really went nuts with this one...my own name :o:p

LOL.. I just went with what I am and my age.. (at the time) ;) LOLOLOL

[David]

I decided to go with "David" because I like the sound of it, & plus it's my Christian name.

[Madness Fades]

I decided to go with "David" because I like the sound of it, & plus it's my Christian name.

Yeah, well I totally understand the part were you liked the sound of it. However the fact that its your christian name is way to coincidental. Imagine that. Pure Luck

[SortaSavageLike]

Because it sounds silly.

[petep9000]

Pete was my partners name in English. His real name in his own language also started with a P, hence the Petep. And he drove a Saab 9000, hence the Petep9000.
That was the old AOL username I used when I started going online in 1993, because I didn't know how to set up my own account so I used his. Eventually he stopped using it completely and it was 'mine'. It just carried over into other things eventually, like this board.

Silly, right. To use a user name that was a tribute to someone you loved, when that person doesn't exist in your life anymore..

[Steviefan49]

Because it sounds silly.


LOL.. :laugh: Good one!

[Bella Figura]

Bella Figura means "a good impression(figure)" in Italian...I use it as my online identity and I've used it professionally...plus it has some of my real name in it...

[Street_Dreamer]

Street Dreamer is a song that I wrote about 8 years ago.

Matt

[dnightshade]

dnightshade is short for Deadlynightshade which is a flowering vine that falls under the nightshade umbrella. It's very poisonous and has been used for medicinal as well as murderous purposes throughout history. It's been widely believed to be a key ingredient in most any "witches brew" and in Love Potions. Deadlynightshade is synonymous with Belladonna.

I don't think it's silly. I think it's touching and poetic - in a romantic kind of way. It's def. something I would do.

[Gypsy-Rhiannon]

Mine is pretty self explanatory!

[Stew_Matthews]

My real name is William Stewart Matthews. When I first started working I used Stew rather than Wil and that has stuck.

[Gypsy-Rhiannon]

Stunning picture in your sig William Stewart Matthews :xoxo:

What are the settings you used? ;)

[vivfox]

Vivica A. Fox, the actress, hottie galore!

[Chrislit18]

Well, mine is actually my email address.
But it derives from my real name.

Christine [first name]
Lit is part of my last name.
and 18 is the day of the month I was born on, and my fave number :D

[Sahara]

Sahara is the name of a short story I wrote a few years ago, which was inspired by Stevie's music. :)

[jannieC]

Pete was my partners name in English. His real name in his own language also started with a P, hence the Petep. And he drove a Saab 9000, hence the Petep9000.

I think I have referred to you as "Pete" when addressing you in PM's :shocked::sorry:

Anyway, my name is Janet, but most people call me Jannie. I wanted to be "Jannie", but apparently there already *is* a Jannie on this board. A Jannie that never posts.

Bella Figura means "a good impression(figure)" in Italian...I use it as my online identity and I've used it professionally...plus it has some of my real name in it...

I've always liked your username. :wavey:

[MacMan]

Mac=I like Fm
Man=I'm a man:shrug:

[bucklind17]

I created this screen name when I was 15, thinking that I was cleverly disguising my Fleetwood Mac love in a way that Fleetwood Mac fans would recognize, but that I could use elsewhere and not have people be like "OBSESSED!" First four letters of Lindsey, first four letters of Buckingham, backward. So clever, I thought I was. I added the 17 later, since it's the day I was born and you almost always need numbers these days or else the word is already taken.

[jr2280]

JR is my initials and 2280 are the last 4 digits in my phone number. Plus I use this name everywhere

[totallycait]

Cait is my name, and I wanted something 80s that wasn't a number. So, like, totally.

Now I might change it to something lyric inspired if I could. I just started posting again after a long lurking phase, and thought about registering with a fresh SN. But nah, this name does still make me smile.

[Bella Figura]

thanks janniec...:xoxo:

I love "totallycait"...I'm going thru an 80's phase myself right now...:laugh:

[petep9000]

I think I have referred to you as "Pete" when addressing you in PM's :shocked::sorry:


No prob! It's my alter-ego, in FM/Nicks world I simply am Pete, and prob have signed myself like that in PM's too.
Anyone could also call me John if they wanted. :nod:

[David]

No prob! It's my alter-ego, in FM/Nicks world I simply am Pete, and prob have signed myself like that in PM's too.I've called you Pete from time immemorial.

Anyone could also call me John if they wanted. :nod:Nobody likes the name John, John.

Even Jesus refused to address John the Baptist as John, preferring instead to call him Jack, or Chicomambasso in quieter moments.

[Sahara]

Even Jesus refused to address John the Baptist as John, preferring instead to call him Jack, or Chicomambasso in quieter moments.

Mwahahhaa :laugh:

Even Jesus refused to address John the Baptist as John, preferring instead to call him Jack, or Chicomambasso in quieter moments.


:laugh:

I was my mother's, and older sister's "Johnny-boy" until I was in my teens. But Pete is as good an alter-ego as any, Miss Jackson if you're nasty.

[DavidMn]

Well Mine is a combination of a couple things. My first name being David of course. M is the first letter of my last name, which is Marx, and Mn is the abbreviation for the great state of Minnesota, where I'm from. So that's now I picked my name.:nod:

[DavidMn]

I've called you Pete from time immemorial.

Even Jesus refused to address John the Baptist as John, preferring instead to call him Jack, or Chicomambasso in quieter moments.See, the thing is, there's only one "Real" David here and thats you my friend. :nod: I have to know my place in the order of things you know!:laugh:

I've had a great fascination with the indians of the great plains since i was a kid.

[eclipse]

For me, this was easy....
I wanted to stay secretative about who I am and I didn't want to have to remember any numbers <smile>
I love the moon and everything about her, the way she looks, shines, changes, is full and is new...like me--
I am never the same.
Always changing moods, wants, desires, needs, clothes...just my whole personality is about little changes that you may not notice.

Just like the moon changes her looks daily. I love how people disregard the moon's influence, of their moods and
do not think they are connected. But, check the pages in the paper for their "Horoscope...that's all about the sun.The sun hurts my eyes .
But I can stare at my Sister Moon for hours upon hours.
Some nights that is likely to be where you will find me...
"Nightdreaming" under the moon's constant glow.

Plus, it doesn't hurt that I love Sisters of the Moon

[#1LiddyBuckFan]

Mine doesn't need much expanation.

I like to think the name fits but maybe my ego is a little too big. :lol:

[littlewolf]

Did you ever read De Voto's ACROSS THE WIDE MISSOURI?

http://www.museumofthemountainman.com/tradingpost/images/AcrossWideMissouri.jpg

No,i haven't.What is it about?

[mylittledemon]

I picked Madness Fades simply because I liked the lyrics from Lindseys 'Countdown'
and those two words are in the song and sounded well together.

Mine's is pretty obvious. I think I had chosen "Bleed2LoveHer" originally, then changed it. It stuck.

[David]

No,i haven't.What is it about?It's about all the Indian tribes & the fur traders & some of the national politics in the decades leading up to the war with Mexico in the 1840s.

[xxxmx]

i used to sign off on correspondence with

...M.

and because one cannot use . in usernames, the Xs seemed like a nice fit. otherwise, no significance.

other usernames are InVinoVeritas and StarStuff... nods to other pursuits - drinking and idolizing carl sagan. classy.

[ontheEdgeof17]

^Wow. I miss you. It's been forever since our fantastic weekends together. I miss those times. :(

[LINDSEY#1FAN]

[gldstwmn]

Well, there's this song. Gah! Nevermind. :laugh:

[The Catdancer]

Sandy Stewart's album The Cat Dancers is one of my all time favorite albums hence The Catdancer. Plus I love cats.

[Livia]

The L-I is from Lily (Rock a Little)
The V-I is from Violet and Blue
The A is Alice.
:D

[vivfox]

The L-I is from Lily (Rock a Little)
The V-I is from Violet and Blue

And all this time I thought your name WAS Livia!!:]

[StreetAngel95]

my username is not from the song, but the album...though it was Stevie's worst selling album, it's my favorite! the '95....pretty self explanatory....year i was born!

[ButterCookie]

One of my favourite Christine songs :D

[hippilil86]

I kind of hate my username, but I'm too lazy to choose a new one. I've had the same one for basically everything since I was probably 12. I have always been envious of real hippies, those who lived in the 60's, went to woodstock, etc...My first name is Lily, and '86 is the year I was born. So out of that comes, hippilil86.

[goldustsongbird]

One of my favourite Christine songs :D

And I crave butter cookies every time I see your name. :lol:

[ButterCookie]

And I crave butter cookies every time I see your name. :lol:

You know, I've never actually had them. England sucks for cookies and cakes etc!

[louielouie2000]

Well... my name is Louie, and people are always singing that f-ing "Louie Louie" song to me! :laugh: The 2000 is in reference to the year I graduated high school. I've been using that screenname since before I graduated in various forums though. Ever since I was a little kid people always made such a big deal about me being a part of the 'class of 2000.'

So the combination of my name + a reference to a terrible song + the year I graduated high school = my lame, outdated screenname :D

[DefDumbandBlond]

Mine's named after the album by Deborah Harry of the same name :D except there is an e missing at the end on here, oops!

[goldustsongbird]

You know, I've never actually had them. England sucks for cookies and cakes etc!

What!? I thought that would be THE place for cookies with all the tea you consume. ;)
I read once that Christine's cookie of choice was Hobnobs and wondered why she'd go for those instead of butter cookies.

[blondyy-x]

Some family and workmates used to call me blondie because... well i'm blonde. And i asked my cousin to pick me a username when we were about 13 and she picked blondy and spelt it wrong. The second y came from a typo :p

[carrie721]

liquefy the hobnob!

[LikeAWillow]

So mine's obviously a Stevie lyric reference that I started using around the 8th grade. I was an emo little middle schooler and related the "Said no to him again and again/ first he took my heart than he ran" to my one of my best friends. I pretty much worshipped the ground this kid walked on, he was my first kiss, we were as close as two thirteen/fourteen year olds could be, but we WERE thirteen or fourteen and he wasn't "cool enough" for me to date. I was also an asshole back then. Anyway, "Like a willow I can bend" was my instruction to myself to stop being such a jackass, stop caring what people who weren't really my friends would say and just go ahead and date this guy.



This is also the boyfriend I bitch and moan about having broken up with this winter. :eek:

[goldustsongbird]

liquefy the hobnob!

OMG.

OMG.

You did not just remember that!!

[carrie721]

f*cking right i did. :lol:

how many years ago was that? :laugh:

[ButterCookie]

What!? I thought that would be THE place for cookies with all the tea you consume. ;)
I read once that Christine's cookie of choice was Hobnobs and wondered why she'd go for those instead of butter cookies.

Because she's a good brit and knows which biscuits won't fall apart when she dunks them in her tea ;) All the others get soggy and fall to the bottom of the cup, Hobnobs hang on in there and taste good :laugh:

[goldustsongbird]

f*cking right i did. :lol:

Liiiiike, five? Six? And I still have it.

But that's the best! Not the actual falling apart; no, that pisses me off. :laugh: But when you get to scoop it out with a spoon at the bottom, and it's like this soggy coffee/milk cookie... That's what I'm talkin' about. brb going to the store for some oreos.

[tilthefirefades]

Well I chose mine from "Fireflies", which has always been one of my favorite FM songs :thumbsup:

It also makes me think of FM in the sense that I hope they will make music until the fire fades...:(

[holidayroad]

I think my screen name is pretty obvious...Lindsey's song "Holiday Road". I first used it back in 2000 when I posted at FMac newsgroups and when I got back online in 2009, I decided to keep using it!

[GypsyBlueEyes]

Gypsy comes from the song, of course, and Blue Eyes comes from the fact that I have the same color eyes as Lindsey :angel:

[chiliD]

My last name is the same as a well-known brand of canned chili (except my name is spelled differently....but when you're in the 3rd grade, your peers don't care about such things...I became "chili"). The nickname has come & gone throughout my life...once the internet was invented, the name just kind of stuck for good in cyberspace...nobody calls me "chili" in the real world.

:shrug:

[1sttimelongtime]

I chose my username poorly, because it is a pain to type out on my shared work computer.

[goldustsongbird]

For the record, this is one of the dumbest usernames I've ever had online. :laugh:

[carrie721]

For the record, this is one of the dumbest usernames I've ever had online. :laugh:

LOL.

possibly.

:lol:

my username is, um, my name. and my birthday. it's pretty stupid.

[ragrsrocalot]

My username was also spelled with a typo. It should be- ragesrocalot. Something I used to say after the RAL era.

[goldustsongbird]

LOL.

possibly.

:lol:

my username is, um, my name. and my birthday. it's pretty stupid.

At least yours is logical!

My username was also spelled with a typo. It should be- ragesrocalot. Something I used to say after the RAL era.

I always read it as "rags rocks a lot," even if that made no sense. Who am I to question with a name like goldustsongbird?

At least yours is logical!

i wish i had kept my name from the OS. hahahahaha.

I always read it as "rags rocks a lot," even if that made no sense. Who am I to question with a name like goldustsongbird?

i always read it as "ragers rock a lot" or "racecars rock a lot."

i wish i had kept my name from the OS. hahahahaha.



i always read it as "ragers rock a lot" or "racecars rock a lot."

Haha, racecars. I was thinking it was a reference to the broken rag doll~ from Street Angel or to Stevie's "street urchin" style.

[carrie721]

queeequeg? :D

you stop that right now! :lol:

i prefer 'queg. :lol:

Haha, racecars. I was thinking it was a reference to the broken rag doll~ from Street Angel or to Stevie's "street urchin" style.

hahaha that occurred to me too. basically i've been flummoxed by that for forever.

you stop that right now! :lol:

i prefer 'queg. :lol:

Well Mine is a combination of a couple things. My first name being David of course. M is the first letter of my last name, which is Marx, and Mn is the abbreviation for the great state of Minnesota, where I'm from. So that's now I picked my name.:nod:

hey. you walked into that one. :lol:

isn't that kind of redundancy cruel? i mean, the poor thing will already be canadian.

[goldustsongbird]

hey. you walked into that one. :lol:

[Zombie]

Many moons ago, when I chatted regularly in Yahoo! Chat, I was christianzombievampire, after a line from "The Days of Swine and Roses" by My Life With the Thrill Kill Kult. That's long to type, though, so people shortened it to Zombie (or Zomb or Zombs).

When I can't get a straight Zombie username, I use a variation, like GoZombieGo or Zombie_Reanimated.

[daniellaaarisen]

I started using this username when I was 13 and it just stuck. When I lived on a Lakhota Sioux reservation, I was named "Midday Moon Rising" (long story). So the "arisen" at the end is a reference to that. My name is Danielle, not Daniella-- but the Sioux used to call me Daniella so it just kinda stuck.

[gypsy4life]

I have always been a gypsy at heart, and I will be for life!!

[DoubtfulMiracle]

I hate thinking up usernames -- I like to have them obscure, not giving too much away but still a bit quirky.

To choose my Ledge username, I employed the help of an anagram creator. It's sad, but it's true. I was going through my crazy Tusk-addict phase (which, to be fair, I'll probably always be in), so I plugged in 'Storms' and 'Beautiful Child' -- nada. I took out an 's' (which I spose is cheating, but I was getting desperate; well, more desperate) and behold: "This doubtful miracle". I thought, yeah, that's kind of neat, and a little bit dramatic -- I'll take it, thank you, anagram man!

Surprisingly complex for a pretty average username actually. I was always jealous of Strand, trackaghost, and Haunted_Song (there's that Tusk love again) for stealing what I thought were some of the coolest FM-related names ;)

[Remy]

Pete was my partners name in English. His real name in his own language also started with a P, hence the Petep. And he drove a Saab 9000, hence the Petep9000.
Silly, right. To use a user name that was a tribute to someone you loved, when that person doesn't exist in your life anymore..

no, very sweet... what nationality was your partner (if i might ask)?

[jaycee]

jaycee = Jordan Clarke (JC). Pretty basic really! :laugh:
