Internet Names
« on: January 26, 2012, 04:46:04 am »
Here's where people can explain the history behind their internet names.

Me, I decided a few years ago that changing up my internet names too much was too much of a hassle, so I decided to have a total of five to rely on with only three decided on so far.

VyseDarkmane - My first name used on a roleplaying game while being in a clan of vampires back in 2003, generally my choice when a requirement is a proper first and last name for something.

Veemonthedemonking - A name using my favorite childhood series's character and a awesome title, probably my best known one although I don't use at much seeing how alot of websites cap out characters long before 18.

Syaoranvee - Based on my favorite anime character over all, Syaoran Li, though I knew that name would likely be taken everything and knowing that "Li" is generally pronounced "Lee" I went with "Vee" and decided to go with vee theme throughout my names.

My current name, Alkaline, is taken from a Circle of Dead Children song.

Once upon a time (actually 1978) I owned a Suzuki GS400 that had been nicknamed 'Tigger' by friends because it was so bouncy (terribly soft suspension). It was the first motorcycle I owned to which I attached a sidecar, and it was this outfit ('Tigger & Co.')  that I was riding when I met my husband. By this time, people had started giving me Tigger paraphernalia which became a tradition that continues to this day.

Fast-forward a couple of decades and many, many motorcycles later and we became the proud owners of a GoldWing. Unfortunately, I hardly ever got a chance to ride it because hubby loved it so much! So a year later I bought my own GoldWing when I found one for sale that had been fitted with a sidecar and simply fell in love with it. I called this one 'Tigger Too' or Tigger the 'Wing' to distinguish it from the first Tigger & Co. The name 'Tigger' started to be attached to me as well as the motorcycle in the bike clubs.

When I needed to get an online pseudonym somewhere, I tried 'Tigger' but it had been taken; I found 'Tigger_the_Wing' hadn't been and have used it ever since.

The actual Tigger the 'Wing is at home with my daughter; as well as being in the photo below, with me on the West coast of Ireland.

Rosenewock21 comes from early in 1999 when I'd gotten a computer for christmas. My very first computer, my very first time using the internet at home (public library since directly after my 12th birthday, bot not at home). And the loves of my life were a pair of bottle fed kittens named Rose and Ewock. Rose was named after Titanic. Ewock had had a condition when he was a newborn that made his eyes look all buggy and alien like, so I named him after the first aliens I could think of. I was not a Star Wars fan and would not learn until much later that I had misspelled Ewok. And the 21 was because my family was doing rescue work at the time, so between our personal pets and our fosterlings there were 21 animals roaming around between 2 houses.

I also used to use yamiawaiitsu for aol. Yami=Darkness, Awai=Light, Itsu=Peace. I told people it meant you had to find the balance between dark and light to truly find peace.

Lithp and Vene really need to have some kind of confusing sexual encounter where Vene spends the entire session lovingly insulting Lithp's technique, then cums on his face, ruffles his hair, says, "You're all right, kid!", and then punches him in the nuts.

Look familiar? No... Fine.

L Word season 3. Shane doesn't have a job anymore. So, her friend Chase has a skateshop called "Wax" and he decides that Shane should have her own 'chair' there (Shane's a hairdresser). So... Shane for Wax was born. And I took it up because it was less conspicuous than my old name (Which is my gamertag and other people have stolen. >.<)

My first screenname ever was based on my IRL name and a character from Jimmy Neutron who was allergic to everything and constantly got sick. Also SQUIRRELS.

Deadpandoubter...I dunno, I first came up with it right after I figured out that all of my religious views were lies, that I'd been lied to all my life about things as basic as "where did we come from?", so I joined up at Yahoo!Answers, chose this user name, and heckled everyone in the Religion area. Pretty sure Satan's still my buddy there.

My original name on the old forum was "untilitsleeps" from the Metallica song. I entered the IRC with that name, and Shivahn (Cagnazzo) said she was going to call me Sleepy. And so a new name was born.

:P :P :P

I can't think of any overall great reason, just a lot of small reasons kind of fell into place.
1. I've always had a thing for Harley Quinn. I remember watching Batman when I was seven and thinking she was just the coolest person (all but the battered women's syndome, but that's the Joker for you  :(). I figured if the Joker had the joker playing card, then Harley would be best represented by the QoH.
2. I used to play Texas Hold'em, and the Queen of Hearts was instrumental in me winning a fair amount ($500+). I ended up hitting a straight flush to the queen. To this day, that is the best hand and most won off a single hand I've ever had (although to be fair, I don't play poker any more, so those records will likely retire). Since winning that, the QoH card has become a good luck symbol for me.
3. I liked the sound of it as a screen name when it came to me and was very surprised no one had taken it.
4. I love the band Queen.
5. I love heart designs and like the band Heart
6. To an extent, I enjoy people lusting for me. I find it an affirmation of my femininity (i.e. I enjoy being the Queen of their heart).
7. Most importantly, I feel like its a somewhat unique screen name which accurately represents me.

I hate mondays. Monday = maanantai. Kind of love/hate relationship I was having with myself when I needed a name to use at fstdt related things (I like to keep different areas of my life separated).

It's clunky, clumsy, and doesn't roll off the tongue well.   However, it was my first username and has continued to be over the years.   Mostly because the name is always free... and for good reason.

Oh and I like Space and Progressive Rock.

I was reading Marilyn Manson's autobiography back in the day, and in it he said he once had a chicken and he named in Jebediah and I loved the name and it stuck.

Comes from the Smurfette Principle, which is the trope that in a group of fictional characters, all but one of the teammates will be male. Most of the groups I've been in, I've been the only girl, hence the name.
