What do your names mean?

Well in my case I rule the cylon empire as the Imperious Leader. I have allways kept this name since before even the internet came along. As many of you know i am quite “Imperious” in all aspects of my philosophy and life. Its a term of endearment and a burden of my character and i accept this with unending respect and pride.

i have no way of following that one up . . . .

a picture is worth a thousand words, so . . .

also

there is a double meaning to the phrase which i kind of enjoy too.

@ncscswitch:

Well, mine is more descriptive… but of who I was about 5 years ago rather than now.

5 years ago I lived a couple of miles from the South Carolina border in NC.  Also, for a number of years I was into BDSM (met my wife that way TYVM) and in the lifestyle I was a “switch” meaning I would engage in BDSM & D/s activities as both a Dominant and as a submissive (sometimes it is nice to be flogged, other times nice to do the flogging).

So…
NC  SC  Switch

I had yours pegged, but for the wrong reasons…  :lol:

My first name is Jeremy, so I sometimes go by Jermo.  Years ago, for an MCSE class (networking tech), we had to setup a network and configure Monster Truck Madness  (networkable game) as practice.  As a reward, we got to play the game.  So, I made my name simple: Jermo + Bigfoot = Jermofoot.  Nothing special.

However, I’ve thought about using the handle Titan:Uranus for the humor effect (I think the use of the colon is a cherry on top)…

I’d say mine is pretty self-explanatory…. :D

Bashir… Dr. Bashir from startrek :P I know I am a nerd ;)

Yanny comes from an old online game awhile back called Everquest. I hit the random name generator and “Yanbun” came out. I started using the name online for Everquest sites. Eventually, when I registered here (June 2001), I shortened it to “Yanny”.

I don’t know if my name needs explanation as well…

Axel is a name like any other in Belgium (I don’t know if it’s used in other countries as well as Pierre, Luke, Marie, Leo,…)
I choose this as my firstname because it links with two letters of “Axis”

my surname Allie isn’t difficult anymore if you know the first one :-)

so, you get my favorite game for the moment…
did you guys figure this one out yet?  8-)  :lol:  :roll:

Guerrilla Guy came from my infactuation for Guerrilla Operations and Military Tactics, and in Airsoft I am a AK-47 operator (soon to be AK-74 RPK Support Gunner)… And GG seems to be easy for people to call me anyway…

Mine is way more complacated.  In short I am a Zelda fan thus triforce, however I am also a christan and the triforce happens to be a realy good picture of the Trinity.  If you have questions on the details message me.

Lord knows there have been times when I would have liked to have whipped the crap out of you.  J/K  :evil:

Agent Orange was a defoliating agent used in Vietnam to clear out jungles.  It was also the last of a series of monikers that I used in Halo; the only name that really stuck.  Other unsuccessful names were Whargoul, Dr. Octagon, and Mr. Pink (bonus points to anyone who knows what those are references to.)

Anyway, AgentOrange has since become my tag of choice for just about everything.  :mrgreen:

Avin is my first name. I used to used various usernames for online gaming for several years growing up, but finally got tired of it while in college as I was sick of having an online identity that felt seperate from my identity in real life, so I decided to go by my real name to help myself not segment out my life so much. Fortunately my real name is unique enough that I don’t have to add a bunch of numbers to it to distinguish myself, so that’s what I’ve used for the past few years now.

As for the meaning of Avin itself, I have no idea. I was born in Sri Lanka, but Avin isn’t really a Sinhala name; my parents aren’t even always clear where they got the name from or if they made it up.

well Mr. Pink was Steve Buscemi from Reservoir Dogs. dont know about the others. ive gone as AIDS in Halo for awhile now, and its really caught on. all my friends at other schools use the name at their school, and other people at my school play as it when im not. everyone gets a good laugh from it for the first few minutes (HAHA, Mr. Pink was killed by AIDS), then again at random points anytime they play me.  :mrgreen:

It is possibly one of 2 meanings… Derived from Evan (meaning Warrior) or the Hebrew Avinoam (Meaning Blessed Father)

funny it doesn’t even come up on Google… sorry my friend that was really bad latin joking… Try  Swahili next time… you should find something more interesting :-D
