Well, I have two user names: the first is Sonja Monique--my favorite character in Mortal Kombat is Sonja and I just like the name Monique
My second user name is Angela Inconnu--Angela is my middle name and Inconnu is French for "unknown".

My username is a bit boring...

When I was younger I was obsessed with the color purple, now, I don't like it as much, it just short of stuck with me.

Mud would be from several different reasons. First, being a fan of Michael and Maria in Roswell, there's an episode there where Michael was trying not to think of Maria and not like her (which is useless, cause he already likes her, but eh, well, he's stubborn) and he seeks advice on how not to be attracted to Maria whenver he sees her. Max gives the advance that he should think of something euw and he thought of MUD. Of course, that didn't work.

The other reason would be mud from Mudblood. I guess it's a bit known here that I'm a closet D/Hr fan (especially in fannon) and well, Mudblood reminds me too much of Malfoy and Hermione. Plus, I'm sure it's a term that Hermione would be able to, in the end, overcome. (did that make sense)

Well, there are several more reasons why I like mud, but I'm sure I've bored everyone with this long post, so, erm, I guess I'll stop now.

my nickname just recall about it.
well it's start when I come to fandom world and start write fiction (in my language) when the first chapter finish I think now it's time to post it but that day I got unexpect OT task ( friend begging me work instead her because she got date ) I'm working at ER ( emergency room---no not like that only near ER but we call it short ER) that night (16.30-00.30 ) so I post my first chapter of HP(relate) fiction but I don't prepare my screenname then something pop in my head 'ER' (it's sound E stand for Emma but R don't stand for Rupert of couse not, never be, the other R ) but it's short, finally I use ' ER-room ' for my fiction when I sign my e-mail at yahoo I change a little in to erroom_potter and that my story

Neato thread...always wondered where some of the names came from.

Mine isn't all that interesting. My second hobby is that I love to dance. (Not ballet with little tutu's since that is what everyone always thinks of. Sorry if anyone loves ballet, it is too nitpicky for me.) Anyways, I skimmed through the books looking for a word. And in the true Harry Potter-ish spirit, I came across Tarantallegra, the dancing curse. I have been hit by the dancing curse, what can I say?

<---- the dancin' fool!

Well...its quiet simple...."Cat"
well i love cats so thats my nick

Dupond is the name of a character in a comic I liked when I was younger (Tintin). So, when I created my hotmail account (a long time ago), I chose this name. From this moment on, I have used Dupond.
Sometimes, I feel like changing.

Mine is elfish. It means either my name or nickname in Quenya. I use it almost everywhere but now I change it sometimes I like it though.

My nick is my name with a cat name because i like cats.... well i like all kinds of animals but cats are a bit more feminine.... I mean karenkate_spot sounds kinda weird to me

i got the name sage69 from an anime that i use to watch when i was little--sage was the name of this green warrior that i was infatuated with and the 69 comes from the number of letters in daniel radcliffe. when i looked up the word "sage" in the dictonary, it said something about a wise old woman...which is nothing like me. but i like how it sounds...

Airbourne1012002 comes from my paintball squads name
Me and the nine other guys on the squad all went to the same high school and formed a paintball squad and when coming up with a name for it we found out all of our grandfathers were in the 101st Airbourne. So we took the Division name and added 2002 for when we formed the group.

I basically just copied my friend when she mentioned her old e-mail address being "Happy Days". Plus, knowing that this used to be an old TV series, I thought that it'd be cool if I had a little theme song associated with my name! Hee hee!

My nickname has no meaning behind it what so ever. I swear...it doesn't. I mean...why the hell would I REALLY want to call myself Sirius Blacks lover? I mean...come on people. Yeesh.

Hello captain obvious.
(Hee hee...that was on Angel tonight)

Anywho...I would also like to point out that this threat was first created on my birthday...May 20th. GO ME!!!

My nickname, Nadja has absolutely nothing to do with me.

I was really bored one day. I mean we're talking being bored to tears, and I didn't have access to the internet. So, I ended up watching this ancient Columbo movie where this shrink was having an affair with one of his clients, and then he killed her husband.

Not exactly the best movie ever, but the woman's name was Nadja, and for some reason, I really liked it. Now I just kind of use it for my nicknames.

I know... really exciting.

Nadja

Alchemist - clearly in a magic orientated environment such as this it's a nickname meant to evoke an air of medieval sorcery complete with bubbling potions and, of course, the Philosopher's Stone.
Right?
Wrong.
Nothing as prosaic I'm afraid. Basically my name is Al and by profession I'm a Chemist. It's a name I've used for years since long before I read HP.

Mine is from Peter Kay's "Top of the tower" video. he is a stand up comedian and actor in the u.k. VERY VERY funny. yeah Garlic Bread comes from a part in the video when he talks about your holidays to spain and when your dad goes and takes the family to this place called "The red Lion" (an english pub). then he says about the food and how he will NOT eat the foreign muck especialy garlic bread. in his recent video "Live at the bolton albert halls" his dad (again) says "Cheese cake? sorry am i hearing you right? cheese cake? a cake of cheese?not in my life time no thankyou!"

its got absolutly nothing to do with harry potter.soz

Well, mi signature says it all I guess...
My literature professor gave me this idea cuz in her opinion I was really mean that day when i told a classmate that it was not her business what I would be doing in the summer...
The same day, after skwl, I registered on Pk, and since I had absolutely no idea what 2use as nick I used that...

My username is based off on the Norah Jones song, Seven Years. I loved the song, and the username was not taken anywhere. :-)

Anguirel is a sword in the Silmarillion. It was made and owned by my favorite character(s): Eol and Maeglin <3.

Anyway, that's my Tolkien tribute on an HP shipping site.

Well, my nickname is rather silly. However, when in high school and college all of my close friends called me Mush. In fact, some still do.

Then one day, I went to dinner with some friends. One of them was visiting from Scotland so we went to a British Pub. He had ordered mushypeas as part of his dinner and begged me to try them. Obviously, I thought it was absolutely disgusting, but I was so enthralled with the name "mushypeas" it just stuck.

weird, I know.

Angel 17 refers to Kaworu Nagisa, a character from Neon Genesis Evangelion...

Sure, Kaworu is a guy...but I'm what they call an Alpha Kaworu Fangirl - and I'm known as Angel 17 or sometimes just "Angel" at other places.

Muchacha means girl in spanish...i just thought it was something different, i am not spanish or anything

muchacha means a girl that's a friend, doesn't it? sort of like hermana?

never mind.. anyway since i'm here already,i'll reiterate:

sinta means love in filipino although it does have its roots in indo-malay/ indian languages i think.

(course, i don't think i'm all that lovely but that'll do.)

While were on the subjects of meanings...

Sinta, what on earth is your avatar doing???

-Sakura

good call, tonti! yep she's right. well, i think she is since i can't really see my own avatar.

OFF TOPIC!

Diezel was derived from an old aol ID. That and it seemed cool to pronounce. Not much creativity here or imagination, I'm afraid

Oh you have no idea how much I have been made fun of for this. This past summer I discovered fanfic. Way before I discovered this site or even shipping I had a full on novel-length dream about Harry Potter or more specifically, not about Harry Potter.
Since I started reading the books, and even more since I found fanfics, I've been dying to get a Hogwarts letter. I mean, admit it, you want one too.
Anyway, in this dream I got a Hogwarts letter. I thought it was a joke, one of my friends making fun of my new found obsession with Harry Potter. But then again who would go through the trouble of finding an owl to send me a joke. So I ignored it. A week before school starts, Professor McGonagall comes to my door. Again I thought it was a joke, but it kinda elaborate for a joke, dont you think?
Finally, I agreed to go with her and we flooed to Hogwarts (ignore cannon rules in this dream). I was in Dumbledore's office and they started explaining the whole magic is real bit and I said, "you mean like Harry Potter?" McGonagall gasped and said, "Don't say that name!" She was furious, and even Dumbledore looked mad. I asked about JKR and she screamed, "NEVER SAY THAT NAME!" I was getting really confused. How could I have magic? and why was I getting my letter 5 years late?
Dumbledore explained that Harry Potter never exsisted, and JKR was a squib who wrote the whole story and got in huge trouble with the ministry but they couldn't obliviate everyone, so they thought it would be a better idea if everyone thought it was a fantasy world. There was never a Harry Potter, but there was a girl named Jenni Miller, she was my great-aunt. Harry was ripped off of my aunt. Dumbledore showed me a portrait of her, and she was blonde. Well, I'm Chinese, so the likelyhood that I have someone who's blonde and named Miller was kinda unlikely, but I guess she married a guy named Miller that she met at Hogwarts and she dyed her hair.
Jenni and her husband defeated the Dark Lord (not Voldie he had another name, but the same idea) 15 years ago. But she somehow locked all the magical power from any of her descedents for 15 years before she died. However, when she died, the next witch in her family would inherit her power as well as their own. She was the Girl-Who-Lived, etc. etc. Apparently, 15 years had passed and I inherited the power. So I went to Hogwarts, as a 6th year, but the thing is I already knew quite a few spells. Whenever I answered a question or did a spell they would ask, "How did you know that?" and I would say, "I read it in Harry Pott--" "NO! Don't say that name!" would be the reply.
Anyway, the dream was really long and went on where the Dark Lord returned and my friends and I had to stop him, I tried to explain to my friend that I really was at Hogwarts, and my friends at school wanted to know why I suddenly went to a foreign boarding school. It was really a good story, not to mention a good dream. So that's where Jenni Miller came from, my great-aunt, the REAL Harry Potter. I really wanted to write the whole thing out, but like I said it's really long. In real life, I deeply respect Ms. Rowling and I don't think she stole the story. She's amazing. I would never harbour any hard feelings for her copying my aunt's life story. jkjk!

Oh btw, my friends from skating used to call me Harry Potter because I was the captain of our team. That put me in charge of 13 girls between 12 and 16, no easy task. So every practice they would come and whine, "Cassie kicked me! Sam called me a ____!" So I had to go fix the problem. Mediator between teammates and the coaches. Always saving the day, so they called me Harry Potter because he always went to save the day. So after I told them the dream (and endless jokes at my expense), they started calling me Jenni. They even had a little cheer that used to be on my signature...
"Just call me Jenni
I'm the one out saving the world...again
Jenni Miller to the rescue!"

~Wei Sum


P.S.
I love the name Quis and hearing why you all got your names.

that's a cool story, Jenni. I though it was jsut your name, heheh.

So I'm suppose to say about ym own now, ne? Alright, here goes nothin:

Well, it all started with my friend Cassie and her obsession with sugar-high anime crossover fics. One day she was over at my house wehn we stumbled on one of those cheesy, overly-cliched "survivor anime-style" fics, and were so hyper we had to read it. It started out fine, but soon there was a girl who was the spawn of Ryoko basically (from Tenchi Muyo) names RyokoJesse, and the poor girl could only say the word evil. At the time, Cassie and I had been pretty crazy over the word, and my online name was amarney27, which is a whole other story.

So back to the insanity.....Ash Ketchum was bashed into the floor a few times, this RyokoJesse girl fell out a few 50-story windows then came back in helicopters, Gundam boys and Sailor Scouts made out, so on and so forth....until the story's almsot over and the phone rings. It's RyokoJesse's daughter, whose name I dont remember, and all she could say was heresy, then there was another girl who could only say hope. Thus a battle of whose word was best ensued, and Cassie and I fell to the floor in stitches, the whole situation made a lot funnier than it was because of the sugar we just ate.

And there you have it kids, EvilRyokoJesse, the true story.

NOTE: My online name also has to do with Jesse from Pokemon, which I used to read fanfics of (not lately) and Ryoko from Tenchi Muyo, which had been a bit of a fling for me on Cartoon Network until they took it off of the air.

~Ryoko~

Wow, Ryoko, I always wondered what your sn meant. I liked Tenchi Muyo too, fortunately it was right about that time it was on Cartoon Network.

And about Jesse from Pokemon, my brother and I had memorized the whole Team Rocket speach thing, I was Jesse and he was James.

Ages ago, of course.

-Sakura

Hahahaha that's so cute, Sakura! Dont be abashed (<---vocab word!) I had it memorized too. I still watch that every once in a while for old times' sake, like once every few months by chance, lol. Pokemon's always been on Satrudays too....but now I'm offtopic in the offtopic thread.

Cheers, mate! *scampers off to read an Inuyasha fic*

Well, mine is almost like yours! only without the numbers at the end. Mine actually stands for the Starlight Children's Foundation which my family contributes to each year to support the terminally ill children in California.

Mine is just the title of my favorite Britney Spears song with a period in front. Nothing truly special.

well...Kai is the first three letters of my middle name (my middle name is in chinese). My real name is Karen. 1222 is my birthdate! my b-day was 8 days ago.............

Happy New Year!

~Kai

Viwiel is elvish and means either my name or nickname. I was so in need of a good nickname/username to use regulary so I tried a namegenerator, and I thought it sounded beautiful, so I took it though it was hard in the beginning to spell it.

Mine is a name of an album by Michelle Branch.

Mine means exactly what it says!
Harry/Hermione 4eva!!!!!

Mine is my first name when I put my real name through this elvish name generator. I like it so I use it sometimes. And my penname (Blackberry Ink) was something I thought up when I was driving home from Montreal a summer or two ago and I passed a farmstand selling blackberries and ink made from them.

*Clicks on Tari's link*
Oooh, cool....mines: Tarí Elendil

Ryoko Jesse comes out as Eressë Felagund, but my real name comes out as Lúthien Calmcacil. *shrug* My brother's hobbit name was Podo.

~Ryoko~

Mine is the Celtic equivilent of my real name. My real Name is Rhiannon, which was a Welsh Goddess once, and the Celtic Equivilent was Epona. I used to hate my name till i found that out.

It's my name, so exactly what it says.

The first part of my screen name is my nickname (Leli) which is short for Lelia. The numbers are from The X-Files, Ten Thirteen Productions.
