[Marblez]

[Daniel]

It was given to me at birth. =)

[TheLordShaper]

Just another name for the Sandman. Im a huge Gamien fan and I so identify with the sandman so hence the name.

[Brenda Starrr]

  Quote

And the joke was? Having to do with the comic book detective of the same name

Nope. He called me Brenda Starrr because I pull off the rock star look when we get together. He cannot look better than me. It just wouldn't be right. He then proceeded to tell me that if I were a porn star, I could call myself BrendaStarrr69.

A Starrr was born.

Lots of variations of lots of things, but none more direct then the "Tommy The Cat" song by Primus.

[Head Wreck]

i lopve that song... damn i wanna watch bill and ted now.

[LadyWindstone]

Actually I wanted a name that started with Lady so I looked around and saw the gargoyles I had gotten my mother for various holiday gifts (my mother is a gargoyle freak). The line that I got her was the Windstone collection. Thus LadyWindstone was born.

Unfortunately it wasn't until way after that I realized that it sounded like the little old English cat lady in every neighborhood. Oh well. With the way my love life is going I may end up being the little old cat lady. :unhappy:

[Scary Guy]

Mine was given to me by a girl I used to have a thing for back in my school bus riding days. Given to me because I looked like the "tall dark stalker type".

She was a scary girl anyhow so it was alright.

More info on my website if you care.

[bav]

bav stems from IRC where my nick was bavaria. over time it got shortened to bav to ease typing.

[Troy Spiral (13)]

Bavaria as in, southern germany?

[Jarodaka]

That would explain Bav's wacky accent.

[Nerdcore]

nerdcore came from a t-shirt I saw one day with the buddy holly glasses.

woo hoo so special :sleeping:

[shortpaleanddead]

[Daevion]

Satan whispered into my ear and Daevion was born.........errrr well something whispered in my ear I swear it!!! :whistling:

Deja Vu thread

[WishesSheWasDead]

Mine came from when i was totally depressed.....oh wait i still am, and sometimes i just wish that i was dead.....so at the time it sounded good to me and still does bc i still wish that i was dead.......

[FarrIL]

Actually, my name is a wierd-out variant spelling of the femme version of a surname of a King of Ireland (( if that didnt confuse anybody, I applaud thee )).

The true spelling, I THINK, is F_A_R_E_L_L

But I have that wee issue of dropping pronunciation, so when I pronounced it, it didnt sound like "Farel", it sounded like "Fairl"

Hence the new spelling, FarrIL (( I is almost silent..... oO ))

[Shade Everdark]

The first part of my name was given to me in my first year of university, when I had the (probably) annoying habit of wearing my sunglasses all the time. I received the second part as a description of my short little bout, of about 10 years, with severe clinical depression. I was always at least able to laugh at myself, so my friends stuck me with 'Everdark' as a mocking term of endearment.

[Rivet_HeadINC]

I started out on DGN, as darkart25 or something like that, some of you may remember that name. But Rivet_HeadINC has beena name I've been throwing around as a Company name for when I start my own Graphics Business.

I got it from one of the quizes that we've done here before "What Kind of Goth are You?" I think it was.

[Amerist]

My DGN name is my Crystalian name. I use it most places I'm comfortable with revaling my chosen name and I use it to identify myself on much of my more streetwise, sage works rather than those consumed by unknowns.

I had originally simply just chosen a name which was connected with my namestone, amethyst, but some of my friends in my Clan decided one day to actually go through the books, break it down into its roots and components and come up with its actual meaning. Which turns out to be something like, "She who bears the sorrows of the world."

Normally, I would include my royal title in my handle--Príonnsa--or my Clan name--A'Toll--but nowadays it's just simpler to type "Amerist" and let the rest sort itself out in a signature.

GEM's light shine upon thee.

He posted! I saw it! There it is! I knew it could happen!

Hi Amerist :grin:

[Marblez]

I would relly like it if someone else told my story for me.... lets see who knows what!

Hi Amerist  :grin:

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Everyone can blame Marblez for my appearance. She sent me an e-mail (ok, so I'm the one who flagged it so that it would reappear every time I opened Eudora.) I actually didn't realize that I hadn't posted at all since DGN had moved.

Unfortunately, I do not know the story behind Marblez's name, so I'll have to wait and see on that one.

[TomCat]

Hey didn't you "lose your marblez," so as an ironic nickname, like calling a big dude "Tiny," they dubbed you Marblez. Am i even close?? :
