What does your username mean?

[Redrake]

Redrake is the nickname I'm using on allmost all boards were I'm registered. R, E and D are the first letters of each of my 3 names, while my D name is Dragos, which is very close to Dragon, therefore drake.

[KaCHING64]

KaCHING reflects the internationally recognized sound of financial windfall. Being a CPA and working in finance, this seemed appropriate. The 64 is a reference to my birth year.

[Kloreep]

Kloreep means absolutely nothing. Just a sound I came up with and made a spelling for.

What does your username mean?

Mine comes from the ultra cheesy 70s scifi show in the UK, "Blakes 7".....

"Villa Restall" was one of the crewmembers on the "Liberator" - the weaselly one who was a master thief, and the biggest coward in the universe....

Oh for the heady days of the 70s..... where the british sci fi shows all had wobbly sets (like on the Liberator, which was piloted by operating 2 telescopic table lamps painted silver)

man... feel like an old fart now!!

ttfn...

[bulletproofmonk]

Mine comes from the movie, "Bulletproof Monk". Now, I haven't yet seen the movie, but I do remember watching the trailer on TV and thinking, "Man, that movie's gonna SUCK...but man, bulletproofmonk would make a really cool screen name."

Yes.

[SpooRancher]

The movie Bullet Proof Monk actually didn't suck. It wasn't bad IMNSHO.

[Lope de Aguirre]

Lope de Aguirre was a Spanish conquerer. I took that name cause it was one of the great roles of the terrific German actor Klaus Kinski - Aguirre, der Zorn Gottes/Aguirre, the Wrath of God (For a few Dollars more, The Great Silence, Nosferatu - The Vampire, Woyzeck, Fitzcarraldo, Cobra Verde, Paganini).

If you're on this board, and can't figure out the meaning of my name, then shame on you!

But...which One are you? The One of Christmas Past? The One of Christmas Present or The One of Christmas Still to Come?

[phazedout]

Odd...

Strange, thought I'd posted on this thread already, ah well. My name (which I've had for about 10 years now) is a contraction of a novel title by Piers Anthony. The full title is Phaze Doubt, and it is the seventh novel in the "Apprentice Adept" series. This concerns two "frames" of existence, one scientific, one magical which exist side by side . It's quite an enjoyable series and combines fantasy and sci-fi in alternating chapters.
Friends have pointed out that I also seem rather "phazed out" and off in some private fantasy wrold - I coulnd't possibly comment on what they mean

Due to restrictions to 8 characters on some boards I'm also known as phazedin, which has inspired registrations as phazedup, down left and right.
Hence my normal signoff.

For you Jan, I'll be whichever One you want me to be

[RaySeventy8]

My Name: Ray78 means Ray is my Name in real life and '78 is my year of birth. Its as simple as that. But looks cool, doesn't it?

[DeMonk]

Sort of my character written like Delenn ... and my name... almost

[James13666]

Well mine is simple, JAMES being my name and i was born on the 13th day of the 6th month of the 66th year (no my middle name isn't Damien)

[Jan]

Ah, all the imagination you folks show puts me to shame. I ended up using my real name back when I first got online and can't seem to break the habit...mainly because I've got a lousy memory and can never remember aliases or passwords worth a darn. One nice thing is that so few people on the SF&F forums use their real names, I seldom have trouble getting either just my first name or some variation of my entire name.

Life's simple pleasures...
