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.

[gretchen]

[David]

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..

LOL.. 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.

[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.
