Topic: How Did You Pick Your Screen Name?

[ZealousZeal]

I figured it was just redundant repetition (my favorite kind!) or something. Though your signature would be a better explanation 

 

Cup of coffee for you, friend?

[ZealousZeal]

I had a heart transplant hence "second chance."

Yours is a screen name I've wondered about; thanks for sharing! Medical technology is amazing.

[elephant]

Dear Second Chance,

So did my Dad 12 years ago.  And a third chance, he's got a new kidney too. 

Love, elephant

[FormerReformer]

I was sure there was a thread like this where I explained already. Thanks, Mike.

[JamesR]

I combined my first name with the first character of my last name, not much there...

[thetraditionalfrog]

Well.... I collect frog-a-belia. Have been since I was a child. Also, I am known to be somewhat old fashioned and traditional. I also have a blog by the same title, but alas, it hasn't been updated in some time. Got to do something about that!

[primuspilus]

Primuspilus has been my screen name, email address, heck its even engraved on my Carvin fretless bass. I'm a major Romanophile. I have been for as long as I can remember.

[Basil 320]

The name of my patron saint (which was already held by another "OC.net" member so I added my apartment no.).

[recent convert]

Lack of originality but accurate within a point of time.

[katherine 2001]

My patron saint and the year that I was received into the Church.

[Severian]

Mine is simple, as well- "Severian" means "related to Severus." In this case, I like to view myself as a student of St. Severus of Antioch.

[Dominika]

Like some of you - that's just my name. I was also chrismated as Dominika. Quite rare name among Orthodox women.

[Opus118]

I think it is obvious, but just in case:

[JamesR]

I took my first name and added the first digit of my last name to it. Pretty simple.

[Cyrillic]

I understood it the first time  

I chose my name because I like St. Cyril of Alexandria, therefore I'm Cyrillic. I could have chosen Cyrillian, but I thought Cyrillic was nicer because of the relation with the alphabet most slavs use.

[Asteriktos]

I think it is obvious, but just in case:

I thought it meant that you were Opus Dei member #118!

The Brahms intermezzo in A major, right? One of my favorites! Of course, everything from that opus is extraordinary.

[Shiny]

I wanted Asteriktos but it was taken by a wannabe.

Sorry! I wanted my real life name, Justin Credible, but my immense modesty prevented me...

You have me pegged Cavaradossi, it is the A major intermezzo, andante teneramente. Opus 118 is dedicated to Clara whose portrait is my avatar (I have given up on Orthocat figuring out this quiz/joke).

I never could understand how Condoleezza Rice could be so blind to say that she liked Brahms because he is not sentimental (although her performance of this piece in Indonesia back when she was Secretary of State certainly reflects this attitude).

It may be true, but I necessarily have no comment.

[William]

Well, I love chemistry, so I was trying to make an element as my name, like uranium. I wanted it to be based on will like willpower or something. So I was supposed to make willium my name but misspelled it.

[Deborah]

Deborah is my given first name, and fortunately it was still available on this forum.

[Gamliel]

I was learning a little Hebrew and discovered that Gamaliel, in the book of Acts would be Gamliel in Hebrew.

Yeah save the excuses for someone who cares. I guess the only terrible and awful name left was Achronos. How's that for modesty.

[Mokek Kwe]

I'm Native American (Potawatomi) and Mokek Kwe is my Potawatomi name. It means Sunrise Woman.

[Nathanael]

An Elder (a controversial one) in Greece told me, that I'll receive the name Nathanael when I'm going to be tonsured a monk. I like this name, I'll give it to my son (if I get one)

LOL brilliance.

So instead of being tonsured a monk, he will give birth to a son and name him what he was going to be if he was tonsured a monk.

Nice!

[mike]

I understood he will become a monk and have a son.

[Ashman618]

My name is Ash I'm a male and I was Born on June 18th, can everyone follow this I know its complex it took me a while to come up with this name so I hope it's thought provoking.

[Cyrillic]

My name is Ash

[quietmorning]

QuietMorning

I love quiet peaceful mornings.

[Asteriktos]

My name is Ash

[Nathanael]

I understood he will become a monk and have a son.

.nope.

[Dan the Man]

My name is Dan, and...well...yeah.

It was something else when I first joined, but that name is now long forgotten after months of inactivity.

Nice!

That is how I understood it, too.  Only, I took it that a possibly future wife would be doing the birthgiving.

[Ioannis Climacus]

Nothing too fancy. I was baptised John of the Ladder. Not sure why I used the Greek rendition for the first name and the Latin for the latter.
