Forum nicknames

valentina · Jul 10, 2004

Hi U2 people/plebans

I'm starting this forum for everyone who want to give an explanation for the name he/she chose to use in this forum

Here's my reason: Valentina IS my real name, but actually a very few people use it! I'm better known with little nicknames such as Val/Pre/Nina... and other I can't translate!!! I chose to use my name 'cos of the fact it's something near to Cupid/Love...

But also because of "A room at the heartbreak hotels"... the first time I heard it, when I heard the lines
"You want the truth but you need the lies...
Like Judy Garland, like Valentino...
you give your life for rock'n'roll"

I nearly collapsed there!!

So now, what about you?

Liesje · Jul 10, 2004

I didn't want a name specific to U2 b/c I use this name on every forum I visit. My real name is special or anything. It's just what I like to do :shrug:

u2granny · Jul 10, 2004

I picked mine because my son decided to make me a grandma much sooner than I expected. :faint:

luvsU2 · Jul 10, 2004

I picked my name because I love U2 but it also is very ambigous as the name U2 is. I know not very creative or exciting but it works for me

Bonochick · Jul 10, 2004

I like Bono, and I'm a chick.

I use it at all message boards I go to.

verte76 · Jul 10, 2004

Vert is the French word for "green". I put an "e" on the end of it to give the appearance of a feminine name. Then 76 because it's the centennial number of my country, the U.S.

shy · Jul 10, 2004

Shy is a little bit of my last name! :sexywink:

tiny dancer · Jul 10, 2004

I'm petite, and I love to dance.

ladylardence · Jul 10, 2004

I'm a lady (at least most of the time :sexywink:

), and I like Larry.

erised · Jul 10, 2004

<--- One of my favorite U2 songs :yes:

Moonlit_Angel · Jul 10, 2004

Came from me hearing a line in "Angel Of Harlem" (my favorite U2 song) wrong way back when I was just getting into their music-instead of "Blue light on the avenue", I heard "Moonlight on the avenue" at first. And even though I knew the right words by the time I signed up here, I still liked the misheard lyric, and voila! Moonlit_Angel.

BluberryPoptart · Jul 10, 2004

I like blueberry poptarts and Pop Bono!

madamadam · Jul 10, 2004

i like the fact that it reads back to front. Im a female adam fan, and my friends used to call me Madam Clayton. Thus, madamadam was born.

That man has such a way with women :wink:

SpanishEyes21 · Jul 11, 2004

Spanisheyes is one of my favorite U2 songs and 21 is my birth date.

Schmeg · Jul 11, 2004

It's a nickname three completely separate groups of friends started calling me.

meegannie · Jul 11, 2004

Some I used to know in high school gave me the name Meegannie because I didn't have a nickname.

I really like the name Valentina.

Niamh_Saoirse · Jul 11, 2004

I love the male version of that name... Valentino/Valentin... That was my grandfather's name and if I ever have a baby boy I'm going to give him that name..

As regards my forum name. Niamh and Saoirse are 2 Irish names I like. Niamh means Bright, lustre. And Saoirse means Freedom. So there you go...

Jack In The Box · Jul 11, 2004

my nickname is very easy to explain... is a old U2 song

Queen Bee · Jul 11, 2004

I was watching an episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer on TV a few years ago and it amused me how a character on the show, Cordelia, had a licence plate that read "Queen C." I remember thinking that it would be really cool for me to get a customized licence plate like that when I'd get a car, except that it'd be a 'B' for my first initial. So, I ended up using "Queen B" as my alias at a few message boards when I registered here I decided to change it to "Queen Bee" because I thought it was clever.

And on another note, I have an extreme fear of bees. :yikes:

My avatar is a spur of the moment thing I made on Photoshop when I was bored.

madonna's child · Jul 11, 2004

I'm a Madonna fan most of the time. It's also a play off the idea of the Madonna and Child, only with the popstar being the Madonna in question.

agentmissa · Jul 12, 2004

<-- huge X File fan

I got Missa in high school, a guy I knew couldn't say Melissa so he would call me Missa. It was the cutest name I've ever herd.

TheWho4Life · Jul 12, 2004

I love The Who

And I'm gonna love them for the rest of my life along with U2 :wink:

MissMaCo · Jul 12, 2004

I'm a Miss,
Ma for Marie
and Co for it's part of my surname

bammo2 · Jul 12, 2004

Bammo is an abbreviated version of my surname, and my brother used to get called it at school. Then when my bro signed up for an email address, he used bammo as his user name. When I signed up for one, I couldn't think of anything, so I just used bammo2. Now I'm bammo2 everywhere, and all my friends call me bammo as well

Thanks a lot!
Even if it's a very common name here in Italy and I don't like it that much!

Pretty nice stories from all of you! Thanks for sharing!

Merc · Jul 12, 2004

I was a huge Queen-fan in my early teenage years ( <--- makes me sound *so* old! :huh:

) and everywhere I went on the net (forums, chatrooms etc.) I called myself Mercury. Named after Freddie firstly, but also after the roman god and the chemical element...

... I eventually grew out of Queen and their music (for several reasons), and got very much into a certain little Irish rockband (somone might even say I became fanatic, but... :shrug:

), but still kept the name Mercury when I started going to U2-related sites...

... but at a certain point I got tired of all the Freddie references (I did think it was funny in the beginning, but not in the long run) and everyone did shorten it to Merc anyway so, thats the story of name I signed up with...

seajewel · Jul 12, 2004

seajewel is my nickname :sexywink:

LOL, such a long story for a short name.

I know!

... but getting me started on talking about Queen, U2, HIV/AIDS and skiing is like pushing the play-button on a stereo and then not knowing where the stop-button is! So now you know - be aware! :wink:
