Why do you have that name?

[Popmartijn]

Hello,

My real name is Martijn (although I usually sign of with Marty, to accomodate all the non-Dutch speakers on this forum). I signed up for a Hotmail account in 1997, hence the take on Pop and Popmart.

C ya!

Marty

 

[anitram]

I'm not very creative, and didn't want a U2 name, so I just typed out my first name in reverse.

 

[FallingStar]

I'm not very creative, and didn't want a U2 name, so I just typed out my first name in reverse.

That is clever, M-a-r-t-i-n-a!

 

[*Patu*]

Well, my real name is Beatriz. I have *Patu* 'cause i was with my friends Sofia and Marta (teehee) and we stopped oposite a chemist's shop and Sofia saw a pair of this kind os shoes for babies (patucos in spanish) so she said: I'm going to buy you this shoes (los patucos) and later she started to call me Patu (mecause of the word patuco )

It's a silly story, but i like it

 

[Salome]

oh no it wasn't !

because Zooropamanda was already taken

 

[Truly]

Well, I was a huge Savage Garden fan when I registered, and Truly was my username on a SG board, and I just stuck with the same thing. I took it from the title of an SG song - "Truly Madly Deeply" which is often shortened to just "Truly"

 

[Cowgirl]

because salomey wanted to say that zooropamanda was already taken in this thread even though it wasnt.
we think ahead u see, all these threads are mapped out years in advance, you just didnt know.

cowgirl...my friend over yonder on another message land used to write stories about the 2 of us being savvy urban cowgirls. we then became the Ruby Red Cowgirls because we have a thing for the Wizard of Oz. Im Cowgirl Andy over there...

 

[theSoulfulMofo]

I've got sooooooooooooooooul
and I'm so f*cked up that I'm a mofo.

Hence, thesoulfulmofo

 

[Edgeman]

I got my name while I was messing around in a chat room. My username was The Edge then. Anyway, we were messing around and acting like superhero's and such so I changed my name to Edgeman. Kinda like superman......but with a super guitar ability.

I think I put too much thought into this nick lol

 

[teehee]

My nick: I like it when people write/say tee hee hee
Pretty silly, uh?

 

[FizzingWhizzbees]

Fizzing Whizzbees are a kind of candy in the Harry Potter books. I'm a big Harry Potter fan, plus I just think FizzingWhizzbees sounds really cool

 

[Stories for Boys]

i had no clue what to use. so i thought i'd use a song title. well, i didn't know which to use.....my first thought was "party girl" cause i love that song, but i figured someone else would have it...that and i'm not really much of a party girl or anything....my second thought was of using luminous times or something, but i'm not a huge fan of that song (well, i like it, but it's not one of my favorites or anything)....and i didn't want to use an everyday song. i actually wasn't sure if i should use this one cause i wasn't sure if ppl would think i was male.....thus the pink avatar ...boring story, but meh

 

[Mrs. Vedder]

<---------- It's self explanatory!

Why does everyone like to end their posts with this smilie? I don't get it.

 

[WildHoneyChild]

<----- My email for Yahoo is Wild_Childe183: a spin on the
term "wild child", and the spelling child-e is what newly
turned vampires are called (long addiction....long story)

Wild Honey - not one of my favorite songs (Grace is favorite
from ATYCLB), but I like the thought behind the lyrics

And thus was born...WildHoneyChild. I knew it would be an obvious nick and somewhat un-original...but I haven't met anyone else on here with it!

 

[Salome]

welcome

[Sicy]

mm me thinks you meant to post this in the thread about nicknames, not start a new thread.

 

[enggirl]

Everyone thinks I'm English when they see my name...
But I'm not English (by birth anyway, but by ancestry yes--and Irish and Welsh and Scots--I'm Bluuuuuuuuuueeee!).
I was an English major in college and got my Masters in English. I couldn't think of anything U2-clever so I came up with that! So I'm rather boring, I guess!

WildHoneyChild, I moved your post into this thread. To respond to a thread hit "reply" instead of "post."

 

[MonaVox]

I am Mona. I am married to Bono.

 

[Bonochick]

I am Mona. I am married to Bono.

You left out the fact that Bono doesn't know about it yet.

 

[MonaVox]

Ssssshhhhhh he doesn't have to know he's my MofoDaddy....

 

[Bonochick]

Ssssshhhhhh he doesn't have to know he's my MofoDaddy....

MofoDaddy?!??!

BWAAAAHAAHAAAA!!!! I it!!!

 

[dizzy]

I'm dazed and confused.

 

[pax]

Bastard Latin, much like Bono Vox:

pax=peace
et=and
aurora=dawn, or more loosely translated as light

paxetaurora=peace and light

 

[u2er]

I'm not creative and I'm a u2er.. and I wanted to think up a name on the spot

kablamo

 

[AvsGirl41]

I've changed my screen name alot...this is the latest. Avs is short for Avalanche. Girl because well, I am a girl. And 41 is the number of my favorite player, Martin Skoula.

Unfortunately, on AOL and yahoo I have had to resort to some really weird combinations. No matter what oddball screen name I come up with, someone has beat me to it!

Elisabeth

 

[MonaVox]

MofoDaddy?!??!

BWAAAAHAAHAAAA!!!! I it!!!

PS I could be bastardized Latin too. One Voice?

 

[ghetofabu]

This is my reason. It is basicly the same as this thread.

reason

 

[ouizy]

I think someone should start a thread asking us why we have the names here that we do.

That would be cool.
