What's in a Name?

by **Wytch** » 09 Mar 05, 3:37 am

Most of us use nicknames or chatnames right.

I heard a funny story about how a guy in a chatroom got his.. so now I'm wondering how you all came about yours.

Mine's not too interesting. I'm a pagan, and don't like to be one of the crowd.. hence Wytch.. making use of the forgotten vowel.

Next?

My nick is some thing my grandmother used to call me many years ago

Mine comes from a fantasy baseball team I had several years ago.... There was already a team called the White Sox (Chicago) and the Red Sox (Boston) and the Black Sox (baseball scandal in 1919) so naturally, that left the Argyle Sox. Even had a very cool logo for the front of the ball cap.... a nice argyle sock with the big toe sticking through a hole........

Quercus gave me the name Sting. Its the name of the sword that Frodo carries in his adventures in the Lord of the Rings Books/Movies. My avatar used to be the sword, however, the LotR is over and I thought I would move on to something different.

Long ago and far far away...........no wait

to boldly go where no nick has gone before ....no wait

.... everything else was taken so I had to come up with something

In the UK Terry's tend to get called Tel. There is also a well known TV character there called Delboy hence .. Telboy ... unfortunately the "boy" is not entirely accurate ...

I came up with this name while playing chess...

I didn't want to use my real name in the online chess game, so I thought for a while before coming to this one.

Khaizer, the first part, is pronounced in the way it is written--Gutteral "Kh".

Well, Rex is just Rex.

The pronunciation of the first part is the same or very similar to how one pronounces "Caesar" as in "Julius Caesar."

Rex means King.

Somewhere in the past I wrote that I'm King King, or maybe I wrote I'm two kings... That's what I meant.

I'm aggressive on the chess board, and that name does really fit me. I've stuck to it since.

Don't Blink is a term used in poker meaning to stand ones ground. But it may be used else ware with a similar meaning

I've loved trees ever since I was a little girl. My favorite is the Oak. Quercus is the Latin genus term for Oak.

by **messylaura** » 30 Mar 05, 2:44 am

I love trees too, amongst my favorites are the eucalyptus for its amazing bark, pic.

also love the way the weeping willow droops like a natural folly you can get lost in.

And the beutiful Pink Blossoms of the cherry tree , awwwwww the first flowers i ever gave to a girl.

There are so many really
