Jinx came from Teen Titans. Old screen name used to be JinxTheBadLuckGirl, then I started using JinxTBLG for xbox live and formspring. (And I think fur affinity.) It used to be Saucy until I got into TT.

Real name is Victoria, but I go by Tor’ee. Used to be Tor-ee, until my friend misspelled it on Facebook and it just stuck.

He said that’s up to us choice wich one (or both of them, I guess)…
As for me, it is a loooong story, so I’ll make it shorter :asd:
I’m fascinated by demons, angels and folk creature as like esotericism, so the first time I wanted to choose an account login for Ultima Online I choose “LightDemon”…
After that, I modified it into “Demon of Light” (wich, at that time, I didn’t noticed it was a bit wrong since what I wanted to mean was “Demon of the Light” ), since then I use that names the most of time (I’ve some other, but I don’t want to annoy so I’ll write about them if someone wants to know about :asd: ).
“Demone della Luce” is simply the translaction of “Demon of the Light”

Edit:
Almost forgot:
If you are interested, Doztrus, there i a topic about this subject so you may want to read it to know about other user who may miss this topic… I must warn you that is pretty long and is buried under tons of other topic (if you try to search for it and you can’t find it I can post a link to)

Lol, I never get tired of being wrong… The topic I was talking about is just a few threads under this, it is named “User Name Origin Tales “

Jordan means either “down flowing”, “from the river”, or “of the Jordan River” depending on where you look.

Ryan means “little king”. My mom chose it because I was extremely small when I was born. Ironically, I’m the intellectual of three of my parent’s offspring.

Happehface was something I chose as kind of an ironic statement to how I felt about my life when I decided to start hanging around BCB, which has only been maybe a month now, so you could say I still feel this way. In person I usually smile a lot and I’m generally very easy to get along with. I have friends and a good school and the best parents I could have ever asked for. When I’m alone though I think about a lot of things, and BCB inspired tremendous regret about how my highschool years were spent. I was a very very sad person in those days, and reading the comic cause me to pine for a chance to relive those days without all the chaos and loss that happened in my life to destabalize what could’ve been the best years of my life.

A happy face…. but anything more than that I can’t always promise :)

well, my actual name is from an 80s tv show about a time traveling cop named Darien Alexander. yeah

Sometimes i like to know that parents give kids names that just sound good, and it turns out that the name represents a trait of the person. Irony, i think not.

Gio means “farmer” and Adolfo means “noble wolf” (yes I have two names). It’s not why my grandfather picked that name though. We have an Italian surname and IIRC, they decided to name me Jose, because of my great grandfather who had the same name. My grandfather then chimed in and decided to name me Gio which is said to be the Italian translation of Jose. Adolfo was then added to my name because of my grandfather. :)

As for my screen name, I love cars. The Nissan Skyline is my all time favorite car so that’s where the Skyline portion of my name came from. As for Faux, it just randomly came to me when I was thinking of a cool follow-up. I’ll be honest that it was supposed to be “Fox” but opted not to because I thought it was too common and cliched.

Yeah, names that are passes down are cool too. It shows that you have a history

I smile while I sing you a song of death.
When I speak of happiness, I cry.
Yet when you see me think of love,
One eye is wet, the other dry.

^Is this you Happehface?

I share my father’s name: Russell. Which is a vague French-German-Welsh-Russian-ese for ‘Read Haired.’ Ironically, I have dark brown hair.

Hannibal: most think that I’m into movies about cannibals when they see my username. This is incorrect. I’m an amateur history buff that loves it when a plan comes together, so my name draws from the general that took Rome and also from a cigar smoking 80s TV show character.

When you introduced yourself to us, you announced that you love it when a good plan comes together. Would you say that’s still true? Yes? No? Why?

James actually means “One who illegally or misguidedly siezes power”
Ironically I’m rather shy and non-outgoing.

Real name: Dominic
In my opinion, its a pretty uncommon name,
It means belonging to God for those Christians out there.
I’m pretty proud of it, even though it came out of a baby book
And for any of you retards out there who want to pull out that Dominic the Donkey crap, fuck you. I rest my case.

i’m proud of my religion thank you very much

Comment ID #104274

If god is real, which I have no way to say one way or the other, I think he’s a huge, self-centered dick to make all life imperfect and then condemn it for being so. So after you spend your whole life doing things because the bible tells you that’s how it’s supposed to be done, if you’re not graveling at his feet for forgiveness for the times when you underperformed, you get a nice severance package?

Is it hell? Is it just banishment from heaven? Who knows! That’s right, perform as imperfectly as you were built and you get to paly russian roulette with a clip-loading pistol.

@happehface
How about we stop picking at each other and call it even.
I should not be the one to judge others anyway.
Sorry.
Your opinions are yours.

Dotzrus October 13, 2010, 1:47 AM EST.

Comment ID #104315

I’m all for ceasing conversation about religions, but I’m a bit disappointed that you as well as almost everyone always seems to think opinions are a right. Opinions are a lot like hypotheses; They are meant to collide with others and change with each encounter as they move towards the goal of a final truth. I think that as human beings we’re meant, if nothing else, but to search for these answers.

Still, sometimes pandora’s box is best left unopened. Debates about religion ultimately lead to more questions upon more questions…

happehface October 13, 2010, 1:56 AM EST.

Comment ID #104321

But you for one should know that the true power within Pandora’s box, is Hope.
A hope great enough that nothing can destroy it.

Opinions are a way of life, though i know they are not always right, every opinion can hold truth even if the truth is far away.

:D This forum has gone from strange to weird, first names, then theology, then…….
I’m gonna start a new forum tomorrow after i read the comic. This one hopefully will not end bad.

Dotzrus October 13, 2010, 2:06 AM EST.

Comment ID #104333

Hope is just hope. People confuse getting heads every two flips of a coin as divine providence if they’re desperate enough. This is the real world, not everyone’s ship sails in, not everyone’s number gets called, and no matter how hard you work to stack the odds in your favor, we’re all playing on the same table and whoever wins will take something from everyone who didn’t.

You should be a psychologist or a philosopher.
You can word things nicely and make them flow to mean something.
Thats good in a person.

I love more than anything to think. When teachers and parents and friends weren’t there to tell me what to do to get by I always thought my way out of it. I used to sit outside on summer nights with my dad and I would just tell him how I thought the universe was, what I thought of everything even at 6 and 7 years old. It’s the main reason my christian faith didn’t survive.

I couldn’t justify God’s intentions from any angle after years of shutting out my doubts because I was so desperate for company that an imaginary man who wouldn’t save his own creation from the torrent of fate was just too important to let go. I picked myself up, too ashamed to tell my parents I didn’t believe in what they believed and they still don’t know after half a decade.

My real name is Julie.

Last time I checked, my name means ”youth” in French. I think.

Sunday is actually the name of this boy who kept appearing in my dreams when I was a kid. I thought it was a neat name so I’ve used it for usernames or for when I don’t want to use my real name. It’s kind of ironic though, sundays are my least favorite day of the week.

01 = binary for “1”=”A”,10010 = binary for “18” = “R”,1011 = binary for “11”= “K”

so, 01-10010-1011 = “A.R.K.”

“A.R.K.” is the initial of my characters in my stories. Usually the protagonist.

And I used it as my Internet name.
