Madness Fades 05-27-2008 10:59 AM

Explain how you chose your Username.
 
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.

David 05-27-2008 01:47 PM

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

Because it sounds silly.

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..

Bella Figura 05-27-2008 03:14 PM

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...

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.

Mine is pretty self explanatory!

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