My name, bleurowz, is the name for my design/creative work. I love a blue rose, and so I took the words and put them together in a different way, and I’ve also created the below logo for myself.
But there’s more to this story. Sometime after a friend had asked me if I’d gotten the name from The Glass Menagerie -- I had to look it up, and this is what I found: “Jim calls Laura ‘Blue Roses,’ a mispronunciation of ‘pleurosis,’ the childhood disease that left Laura crippled. The name ‘Blue Roses’ turns Laura’s defect into an asset: her unusual qualities are seen as special rather than debilitating.”
I can’t make this stuff up.
My screen name is shytiger6. Shy because I am pretty introverted. Tiger because I was born in the year of the tiger. and six because that way I woule nto have to compete on sites to try to be the first one to use the name. Notice also that it is a total of nine characters. That is a hold over from before the internet, when peopel used IRC to chat, and your screenh name had to be nine characters fo less. I used to use the name damn_nice, which meant I was and exceptionally nice guy, but it was pointed out to me that the name coudl come off as I was conceited (it never occurred to me, but had to pointed out).
A few times online I may have used niceshytiger.
How about EyeOfTheTiger?
Stole mine from John Lennon's Imagine.
@irascible You could have just asked...
@goldenvalleyguy Thanks!
Well typically I use the same username for everything, but recently someone from one site found me on another after I had blocked them on the first site. So to prevent that from happening again I picked something a little different. Combing Ophelia from hamlet and the Poet Oscar Wilde, I came up with OpheliaWilde
Cool name
I was a big fan of the Kung Fu TV series. I identify with being a novice learner.
Very cool!
My old screen name was a pun on my even older one aevan=avian with no "i"= BlindBird. The new one was given to me by someone who has become really important in my life. I'd never really known what having a relationship that makes you a better "you" was before and it really is great.
Mine was simple. No great inspiration involved. My name is Julie and I like Patchouli.
As a child, I loved the book, The Hobbit. My favorite character from it was not Bilbo Baggins, it was Thorin Oakenshield, Dwarf king of Erebor. I still love The Hobbit, and if I'm able, I want to change mine and my daughter's last name to Oakenshield.
Mine is self explanatory...but just in case..
It's in honour of the late and sadly missed Christopher Hitchens one of the most prominent and articulate Athiests of our time....he fought the good fight like a tiger..eloquently ruthless debater.
He once said and I quote:
"That which can be asserted without evidence, may be dismissed without evidence"
Exquisite wall of logic IMO.
I have a whole bunch of names I use on some sites, and for gaming, and my youtube channel. But sometimes (like here) I just use my name.
Ghetto Philosopher:
Mine is just a combination of my initials and my beloved Florida Gators.
Not remotely significant or meaningful.
I’m not very creative, mine is my name and the year I was born.
Years ago I used "thinktwicebenice" as my username for an adult chat room, hoping that people would not be total shits. Unfortunately, reading comprehension was lacking and people thought it was "thinktwice Bernice"...ick...so I dropped the last part, hoping that people, including myself, will think twice before posting nasty or hateful stuff...
It means infidel, unbeliever, atheist, apostate, and against god in Arabic. I am all of those.
Just a combination of my first and middle name. Not my birthname since I changed it when I transitioned from male to female
