In high school we had senior shirt groups. You'd get together with your group of best friends and design t-shirts. you'd have a group name on the front(ours was beatnix) a bunch of inside jokes and such all over, and we then all had a large letter on the back (on the last day of school we lined up on the balcony and spelled out something inappropriate for this forum )
So anyways Beatnix (which we chose because of it representing original, unique and free thinking spirits) is in honor of that group of friends and the 19 was my number in football and the number of the great Bernie Kosar. I've used this as a username, or a variation, since highschool.

I got my name from the main character of the Saber Marionette J series. At the time, it was my favorite series and I figured, "What the heck." Now, my favorite series is Trigun, and all my other message board IDs = Vash. I haven't switched here because I'm too used to it.

I already said on the insult thread and the introduction thread on the OSC forum, but I call myself "Da_Goat" because I've had hair growing from my neck since I was two or three, and, at about 5th grade, before I started shaving, the hair grew long enough that it looked like the hair on a goat. Somebody said "Who's da goat?" and it just kind of stuck, even though it never gets that long anymore since I shave.

"Vana and Lime" actually sounds like a top-shelf drink order.
And Khav suggested that I got this name from the back of Shadow Puppets, which of course is false. It's from The Crystal City.

I got this name because I was looking at my iTunes playlist while trying to come up with a name. My eyes landed on "Rappin' Ronnie Reagan" on Go Simpsonic With The Simpsons and voila. It's from "Homer Loves Flanders."

I always assumed that the chick Picard had the thing for spelled her name Vache, which is even funnier, since he's French...

I named myself after the exchange particle of the newly discovered Oaxaca force, which is believed to hold the key to formulating a grand unified field theory. The Oaxaca force is seventy five orders of magnitude more powerful than the strong force.

My name is french for ladybug- When I lived in switzerland, the first bug word I learned was coccinelle and I always thought it was such a pretty name for a bug... plus it's usually not taken as a username!

It's the same name of a Smashing Pumpkins song. I first heard it at the age of 14 and loved it, plus the name "Starla" fit many of my likes: star gazing, the shape, other things I can't remember (I dunno---I had a thread just like this on GreNME about a month ago).
I used the name as a pen name (signed all short stories and poems with it) and my teenage alter-ego, and then later my screen name and aol and yahoo address.
I just really like it and I think it suits me. Posts: 463 | Registered: Oct 2003

Wandering around in the red-light district of Surabaya, Indonesia with a bottle of Johnnie Walker Black, a group of drunk American sailors happened upon a small restaurant called Moon Rabbit. The food was the most horrible combination of bland and hot. Think chunks of raw potato and onions in blisteringly hot yellow curry.
I thought "what a cool name for a band", so we started a band called Moon Rabbit and made an album of song parodies (like Weird Al but X-rated). Later, the name kind of stuck to me, and it's been my nick ever since.

Yea revolutions are fun.

Ana and kata are the directions in the fourth spatial dimension. Like left right, up down, front back, ana kata. It's also greek for forwards and backwards, which I think is sort of cool. Words from greek that start with ana- should be the opposite of words that start with cata-. Like anabolic and catabolic. So I like to substitute prefixes and see what turns up. Like, what would an anapult do, you think? Hurl things in the same direction it's cocked? Have you heard of the little known catalects of Confucious? <laughs> Yes, I'm easily amused.
My name is Anne Kate. Not Anne or Kate alone but both together: Anne Kate. You'll also see people call me aka or ak, both of which are other hatrack names. I'm also Draetakenna, but only when I'm a dragon. Sometimes I sign my name ανακατα, or sometimes =D- which is the symbol in electronics for an "and gate", which is what some of my friends in electrical engineering school called me.

It's from Cymbeline (Shakespeare) - the original Imogen was a handmaiden.. I wasn't even named after the heroine of the play, just a bit-part character!
(and after editing, evidently a character who couldn't spell...)

Mine is a dance stage name I picked out of a book of (theoretically) arabic names. It means moonlight. Over the years it's developed into more of an alter-ego...Chandani is prettier than I am, and when she's quiet it's because she is mysterious and wise, not because she can't think of anything to say.

Although in hindsight, I wish i could change it to Lord Glockenheinen XXXVIII, who is simply an alter ego I made up for myself when someone wanted me to do an online survey.

When I served as editor of my high school newspaper, I tended to be a bit glibe to the lowlier staff members. The advisor compared me to the old men in the balcony, and when I tried to incorporate it into a new screen name, this emerged. I think it's pretty cool.
I'm also Her Royal Sweekiness, which is sort of an inside joke between me and five or six people who I was talking to on AIM chat. I was trying to say "sweet" and a typo turned it into "sweek." Everyone was all, "sweek? What the heck is sweek?" so I came up with a bogus definition:
Sweek-- n. The state of being sweeky.
I always evade the question when someone asks me what it means, but if I call someone Sweeky, it's usually a compliment.

Well, I've seen your name spelled that way before so I'm not sure it's as unique as you think.
Frisco, if you're not named after the City, are you named after the famous PNW fast food restaurant, Frisco Freeze?

Well, many other people have posted about previous SNs that never got tossed aside because they lost their password, and mine was Amontillado. So I went searching for a new one. My first name is Jon, a cousin calls me Jonny, I watch Cartoon Network every once in a while and I definitely was the opposite of the cartoon guy, and in a fit of madness and desperation, JNSB was born. I kinda like the sound of it, though 'tis a mouthful...

Mine is boring. No fun story even. It's just the first 2 letters of my names (first, middle, and last) and I've never used it before for anything.

when i was a child I would go to bed at night and act outr this great adventure story to keep myself entertained till i felt sleepy. Once i decided to write a novel about what i had created i needed a name for my character.
In texas history one day a friend and i were goofing off trying to think of cool fantasy names. We somehow started taking real names and spelling them backwards. My seemed really cool...
Robey row-be my real name became Yebor Yay-Bore my fantasy name
from then on I would have at least one character named yebor in any game or rpg i would play
Heck if I was playing A final fantasy game i would even take the name of my current g/f turn it around and use it
siri harobed annaed irret
hell i still do it
any numers i use before or after are merely becausethe particular server will tell me a previous yebor variation has beeen used.

jedabi. Interesting. Wiezoreck is from the Ender books (Ender's father's name). A friend of mine and I, when chatting online or sending emails, will spell each other's names backwards. It's the last names that sound so funny. Posts: 667 | Registered: Aug 2003

I got Scythrop from a novel I studied at Uni called Nightmare Abby and Crotchet Castle. I just thought it was a cool name, and not at all likely to be taken as a username.
In Smurfland I'd be "Super absorbant smurf" which is a bit of a worry, but good for cleaning down the kitchen benches.

Doing the thing with the first two letters, my name would be Libeki. Kinda cool! I got Eruve Nandiriel from a website that translates the MEANING of your name into Quenya. I also use the name Tigerlily. I use that one 'cuz 1)I love tigers, 2)tigerlilies are my favorite flower, and 3)Tigerlily is the cool indian warrior princess in Peter Pan.

Uhmmm,...Assuming everyone knows Mazer Rackham was the "long dead" space marine of EG. I am a Marine, and when I signed on this forum in August'98, I hadn't read much besides the Ender Series, Homecoming and Alvin Maker. I didn't like Homecoming that much, and I thought everyone here was roleplaying characters from Hatrack, so I didn't want to take someone's name. EG was all that was left sooooooo,......
