Where'd ur Forum names come from????

[Ezekiel 25:17]

I am always curious about random things, and I always wondered why or how people chose certain names for themselves, so if u could post why or how, that'd be cool. U don't have to though. Here's mine, it originated from the Movie Pulp Fiction starring Samuel L. Jackson and John Travolta it's a pretend Bible Passage from the movie:

"The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness. For he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you." - Ezekiel 25:17

[thelawgiver]

The Lawgiver was the source of Ape law in Planet of the Apes

[thelawgiver]

Beware of man, for he is the devil's pawn!

[dimitris21aek]

Dimitris is my real name... 21 is the gate of my favorite soccer team and aek is my favourite soccer team "A.E.K. Athens F.C" A.E.K means "ATHLITIKI ENOSI KOSTANTINOUPOLEOS" in englis: "ATHLETIC UNION of KOSTANTINOUPOLE" Kostantinoupole is the name of "Istabull" back to Bizantines times... Also Istabull is inspired by the greek phraze "Is stin poli" this means "To the city"

[Lost in VA]

[Dzbabykel]

[justjoe]

Interesting info Zeke.

[Lost in VA]

We were all drawn together by......THE ISLAND

[thelawgiver]

You have to go to college to be a sorority chick, so there are always brains involved! Kegger this Thursday, $5 entry. Get your cup and hand stamp at the door!

[Dzbabykel]

Interesting info Zeke.

What was your major Dz?

Biology with a minor in health science

[Dzbabykel]

Hahahah! Those days are long gone....but I'm not gonna lie, good times! :D

[justjoe]

No kidding. I am a microbiologist. I went for Biotechnology.

[Dzbabykel]

Oh thats interesting....I was originally going to be a pediatrician but the school was just TOO much so I was gonna do micro. Haha as you can see I'm all messed up since my current occupation is a PARALEGAL but I'm getting my masters in physical therapy :)

[justjoe]

Wow! Gorgeous and smart. A deadly combination.

[Dzbabykel]

Hahah watch out!! :p

[Lost in VA]

Joe you took the words outta my mouth.

[justjoe]

I think I speak for a lot of the guys on here.

[Dzbabykel]

Oh geez...you guys are retarted haha :rolleyes:


**Blushing**

Just kidding you aren't really retarted but please get your eyes checked thanks.

[thelawgiver]

I think Dz has a trail of broken hearts in her wake!

[lilsev42]

Mine is sev for my last name sevier,lil because I'm the youngest and 42 was my b-ball number in high school and college.Pretty simple

[Lost in VA]

DZ..I just had an eye exam last week, and the old peepers are working great;)

[Dzbabykel]

Haha good to hear

[bunnydixon]

are you been stalked again dz?

LOL!

[dudebro28]

jeez all these college people! am i the ONLY teenager on this forum??? When i see my friend i always call DUDE and he goes BRO. so idk i just used that for everything now. Welll me possibly being the only teenager here makes me feel smart :) Now i can go up to my friends and say I have intellectual conversations with adults! "Really? about what?" and i reply: "Lost." how classic can it get??? okkay im done now sorry for all the hosh posh. im sick and my dad gave me like 5 asprins

[justjoe]

Yeah Lost in VA leave her alone... ;)

[cobaltspectre]

I've been using the same screen name for almost everything since I first used it as a screen name in a chat room. I was extremely depressed at the time; I didn't even feel like I was part of the world, anymore. I just felt like a ghost that was still inhabiting a body. Blue is associated with sadness, and cobalt is my favorite shade of blue. Not nearly as entertaining as everyone else's.

[bunnydixon]

i think your dad may be trying to tell you something... :p

[_Drive_Shaft_]

mines a bit obvious lol

[snow24]

I used to be obsessed with snowboarding, I would go 5 times a week, (now I got 1 or 2 times year, growing up sucks lol ) so I would always just use snow and then my name, but for some reason I decided I didn't want my name attached to everything so I started using my number from sports that I played, 24.

[thelawgiver]

Dudebro. You're a teenager. When you get better, go out into the wolrd and find your purpose. Don't blow all your time on-line!

[Dzbabykel]

Hahaha Patchy's words of wisdom for today...


Ahhh my computer is sooo slow today! I'm about to chuck it out the window....but then what would I do then?? :eek:

[bunnydixon]

buy a laptop :p so you need never be apart from the forum!

[thelawgiver]

Dz, try running AdAware or Spybot programs to get ride of things that can be slowing your connection. They are available free on-line. Juts run a search for their downloads.

[Dzbabykel]

buy a laptop :p so you need never be apart from the forum!

Haha its funny you say that....I'm on my lap top and I'm actually just sitting on campus right now killing time....I brought it so I could get on here! And its still so slow...grr :mad:

[bunnydixon]

darned thing!!!

grrr to 'pooters!

[Archangel-Player]

Mine is kinda dumb. But When i first started to chat I came into a Christian room. Well Everyone used a holy name So I used one of my faverit comic groups former members name. Archangel.Everyone called me "Arch" so most names I use have "Arch" in them. Later on I was a Mod for a game forum called Game-talk. So I was bestowed with the Player part of my name. As in a player in the game. SO now im a player in the game of LOST.

[freefallenferrari]

My last name is Ferrari (and no, I don't drive one) and I love to jump out of perfectly good airplanes.

[justjoe]

I would have guessed it was based on that scene from Ferris Buellers Day Off.

[bunnydixon]

either way.....*ooch*

[HardrocksII]

well...see, i was in this baseball game eons ago, and ahhh, well...lol, and ever since my buds have called me this...lol, just kinna stuck. :/

[justjoe]

Sounds familiar.

[Turnip Queen]

Oh dear. Now, let me just explain that I'm completely sane before I tell you why I have Turnip Queen as my nickname!

My real name is Tracy!
I was bored one day and told a bunch of people that I was about to buy an icecream in a shop and this old man got the last one so I threw a turnip at him and hit him in the head. They all believed me, so eventually I told them it was just a joke, but it stuck with me! Next thing it evolved into me drawing faces on turnips and making up stories about them that were really ridiculous, I suppose you'd have to see my bebo page to get the full blast of it! HAHA Actually we should exchange bebo addresses on here!

[lostlindy]

Haha good thread Ez :) Mine is really stupid LOL but its been my email address since I was a freshman in college but yah I was in Delta Zeta so thats where DZ comes from and my name is Kelly (haha yes I actually have a name!!) and then I through baby in the middle since I thought I was too cool :p

and here I thought the dz was short for dizzy LOL

[jacksnurse]

Mines obvious....yes i'm a nurse and I love Jack...i have watched him since party of five .....not too creative....i would love to be Jack's little "assistant" on the island.....and sawyer too now that i think about it:)

[bunnydixon]

it must be the surgical gowns that do it for ya ;)

[LostFreak21]

u got me dudes, I'd've never have guessed any of how u guys put ur names together, i don't even know how i put mine together, lol.

You have a very interesting one. It says a lot.

[LostFreak21]

If anyone cares mine was given to me by my family. The 21 is my son Kalen's hockey number. He wanted to throw that in.

[Robo42]

Nice LF,So are you also a hockey freak?

[skatertsol]

I'm a fan of the kate-sawyer romance (skater) and thought I'd spell lost backwards cuz it seemed more fun lol

[Junkhead]

I got mine from an Alice In Chains song. They're my favorite band and I really like that song. Somethin' tells me though that most people prolly wouldn't dig 'em. Well, Joe might. :)

[LostFreak21]

Nice LF,So are you also a hockey freak?

Yes, just call me FREAK! No, not really I am a vey nice and calm mother of three. I love sports though.

[Turnip Queen]

I wish I'd put some sort of Lost-related name as mine now, I suppose it's cos I'm so used to Turnip Queen!

[Junkhead]

It's original, and that's all that matters. :)

[Dzbabykel]

Haha I love your story TQ! And you do look like a Tracy, I don't know why but you do :) Haha and yeah everyone thought my name meant "dizzy" lol thats funny :p

[thequestion]

I'm not really sure why I picked my name. I just thought it went well with LOST.

[Junkhead]

You should add an "s"...cause we all have more than one, haha.

[Dzbabykel]

Haha great point junkhead :p

[justjoe]

Junkhead, I used to love AIC and then Lane went and killed himself. What a shame.

As a side note I have been playing hockey since I was 4 and I still play twice a week. It's in the blood.

[Dzbabykel]

Believe it or not I played hockey for 3 years :) Good times!

[justjoe]

Ice hockey? In Virginia?

[Dzbabykel]

Yah I started out ice skating for a few years then got into hockey and found out I was pretty decent....it was at Fairfax Ice Arena in Virginia.

[justjoe]

Wow interesting. That's kinda cool that they have hockey down there.

[Dzbabykel]

Yeah its not a big thing down here or anything but it was fun

[justjoe]

I still love playing it.

[mahalo_dude]

"Mahalo" is Hawaiian for "thank you", and I just imagined Hurley saying something like "Thanks, Dude." I added the Hawaiian twist.

[rip-charlie]

LOL well enough said right he was one of my 2 favs.

[stargazer]

Whos the other?
I chose my forum name because it was my fathers e-mail. He was seriously into astronomy. Get it? Stargazer. He's gone now.

[jackchick]

I'm always so behind on the posts....I can't seem to time this right*sigh* I took jackchick for obvious reasons and because Turnup Queen was taken LOL! But ya Bunny mentioned hospitol gowns and they are rather easy to manuver so they have a certain appeal. And as for laptop verses desk top, it's much better for my clostet forum use on the laptop!

[bunnydixon]

hockey was the only sport at school i liked - nothing to do with me accidentally smacking my nemesis in the face with my stick :D

(it WAS an accident - i just got a little excited is all!)

[Junkhead]

Junkhead, I used to love AIC and then Lane went and killed himself. What a shame.

Agreed man, it's definitely a shame. They've started touring again within the last 6 months and supposedly have a new album in the works. They got a new singer and he's actually pretty good. Doesn't hold a candle to Layne but I wasn't expecting that. I just wish their tour would take 'em up here...it's hard to get a decent concert. Though Megadeth did come up not too long ago.

[bunnydixon]

i like all the stories and i like that not everyone tried to make a lost name too.

[Junkhead]

Lost is the glue that binds us together, not what makes us unique. ;)

[bunnydixon]

Lost is the glue that binds us together, not what makes us unique. ;)

beautifully put lol :D

[Junkhead]

Thank you. :) I went and changed the if to an is as originally intended. I CAN spell. Unfortunately, your quote shows it in all it's former glory, haha.

[bunnydixon]

HARSH!

but we know what you meant :D

i fixed it so if you hurry and sort your last post - nobody need ever know ;)

[Junkhead]

Great idea! But I think I'll just leave it...flaws build character. :)

[snow24]

I'm a fan of the kate-sawyer romance (skater) and thought I'd spell lost backwards cuz it seemed more fun lol

wow, and here i was thinking you were a skateboarder that liked the band TSOL.

That is some coincidence, but your explanation makes much more sense for a lost site.


lol

[bunnydixon]

you know its funny coz at first we all had avatars of randomw things and now most folks ahev changed it too pics of themselves :)

i guess ez and rob dont trust us enough yet ;)

[lostNspace]

I chose my name kinda at the minute. I did not pick it because I think the island exist in outer space. It is more of a combination. Because of the way my my head spins when I try to figure out the show and as a homage to the old TV series/ movie. As far a avatar, i don't have a digital camera/ scanner. Still working on it.

[Robo42]

I like Brian, I'm sticking with Brian, and going to try to remain mysterious although B knows me a little. LOL

[Junkhead]

Brian is a badass avatar anyway Robo. :)

[chococat512]

well my name is cat and i really like sanrio (the company that makes hello kitty stuff) and chococat is one of the characters they have. and my b-day is may 12.

<img src="http://www.sanrio.co.jp/english/characters/w_chara/choco180.gif" align=center>

[LostFreak21]

I still love playing it.

Isn't hockey just the best sport! It seems like every team mate is happy for each other. An assist is just as good as a goal, worth the same points. My youngest is a pee wee AA out of Lansing Mi.

[justjoe]

It is the best and it is so underrated.

[Dzbabykel]

I agree!! Doesn't get much better than hockey or football games :D

[justjoe]

Played football in High School also but my body is more built for hockey.

[Dzbabykel]

Haha can't say I played football in high school haha but I did cheer for it so I know a thing or two about football!

[justjoe]

If you can't be an athlete, be an athletic supporter. Cheering is hard work though. One of my best friends was a Patriots cheerleader for 4 years and she busted her butt.

[Dzbabykel]

Thank you! It was a lot of hard work haha and I prob worked just as hard as any other sport I've done (if not more)......so what's your football team??? :)

[justjoe]

My pro team? The Patriots of course. Being originally from Boston and all. And yes I am still in mourning.

[Dzbabykel]

Haha yah I was going to say sorry to hear of your loss :p

[justjoe]

That's enough of that conversation. So the Red Sox are in spring training.

[Lost in VA]

Sorry....but being a Charger Fan, I'm not REAL sorry!

[megaloman]

i love incubus and one of there songs is megalomaniac, unfortunatly yahoo mail wouldnt let me have that so i went with megaloman. now its basically my online name for every thing, like my gamertag for xbox

[snow24]

Yeah, I'm from the Cleveland area, sorry but I feel no sympathy for Boston :p

I do hate the Browns though, but that's because I was raised a Steeler fan :)

[megaloman]

its all about the texans man, jk:)

[bunnydixon]

i have nooooooooo idea what you are talking about LOL!

[Lost in VA]

NFL football

[snow24]

i have nooooooooo idea what you are talking about LOL!

my boston comment was referring to the Boston Red Sox (Baseball) coming back from being down 3-1 and winning 3 dames in a row over the Cleveland Indians to go to and win the world series last year.

the Browns are the Cleveland NFL team, and The Steelers are the Pittsburgh team, they are bitter rivals and fans usually pretty much hate each other. I live in Cleveland, but somehow ended up a Pittsburgh Steelers fan.

is this not the hockey thread? lol!

[islander]

islander - seemed appropriate

being a giant fan, i'm very sorry. all the pats had to do was stop the giant's pass rush - that's all.

[justjoe]

Can't talk about it it still hurts too much. All I can say is that the Giants definitely earned that win. Congrats. Next topic!!!

[islander]

i'm suffering now as a thrasher's fan. i miss savard a lot.

[justjoe]

He's been huge for us but stil has some flaws in his game. Particularly in the defensive end. I like him a lot though and glad we have him.

[jackchick]

I have to apologize to Turnip Quenn, I was being silly about her name being already taken and spelt it Turnup like "Turnip will Turnup"! Guess that's what I get for staying up past my bedtime!
And it's interesting how this whole "name meaning" morphed into pro-sports. Just goes to show you never know what's gonna happen!

[bunnydixon]

its like the show itself lol!

[Junkhead]

Haha Snow, I'm a huge Cleveland fan. *sigh* Guess that makes us rivals now. :)

[stream]

ok you asked so I will tell you.
We were trying to save a patch of Redwoods and we had CBs (this was 1992, no cell phones yet, aat least not where we were ) and we wwere tresspassing and sso forth and so wwe all had radio names and mine was Stream, there is way more to it, if we are still on names

[NZlostie]

meaning behind my name.... pretty simple really but will explain just in case

NZ - New Zealand (where I'm from)
lostie - new term for a person who was on Flight 815 (I decided to adopt it)

I'm surprised it wasn't already taken, I usually get that when picking usernames.

My list of sports is just too long.

[DriveShaft]

I really love the part of the car that is the mechanical device for transferring power from the engine or motor to the point where useful work is applied...

Or maybe it's named after Charlie's Band....

I'll let you figure it out.

[megaloman]

lol
wiki?!?!jk

[ihateyourtheory]

hey, i've been a reader for a while but i never posted. my nickname is from the fact that i'm always reading theories and ideas on here and i always love all of them so the nickname is just ironic. so nobody take offense. :)

[1hourisntlongenough]

well, mine is pretty self explanatory!!! :D

[gilligan]

I used to be obsessed with snowboarding, I would go 5 times a week, (now I got 1 or 2 times year, growing up sucks lol ) so I would always just use snow and then my name, but for some reason I decided I didn't want my name attached to everything so I started using my number from sports that I played, 24.

Dont worry, snow. one day youll be married and your wife will 'make you' have to take the kids! btw just went yesterday--gee, honey, do i hafta?....

i like teleing best but im learning to snow board with our youngest daughter. snowboarding is great in the pow. yesterday a couple of inches of freshies on 12 feet of base. cant get much better than that [unless we'd a had smores with peanut butter too!]...

oh...picked gilligan because hes still my fav castaway...need i say more?

[gilligan]

[QUOTE=bunnydixon;11811]you know its funny coz at first we all had avatars of randomw things and now most folks ahev changed it too pics of themselves :)

i wasnt fooled a bit, bunny, by your motorcycle and other pics. i knew you were a bunny all along. something about your name gave me that hint...

[gilligan]

I like Brian, I'm sticking with Brian, and going to try to remain mysterious although B knows me a little. LOL

Wanna play a new game? since robos not fessin up, i think we should try to guess how robo42 picked his name. i'm not clever enough to figure it out, but i'm sure its an acroynym for something....Rockin On Boat, Olready--ok, so hes not a good speller...

[Archangel-Player]

I bet Robo got his name due to his back ground in the military as in mecahnical. Or his name is Rob O. and he is 42 or 42 as in one of the numbers

[KGata]

My family is Brazilian, and "Gata" means kitten in Portuguese, which was my nickname... My first name is Karen.
