I don't know why I used "farmgirl" for this list when on every other forum I'm known as Redbud211 (my preferred moniker). Guess I had a brain fart the day I signed up here -- just didn't want to use my regular screenname until I could figure out what kind of people are on here. And now I can't change it. (ha). So the one I use here has no importance -- just is truthful as to where I live/what I am.
The redbud211 has a much more interesting origin....

Farmgirl--with only 16 posts so far, you wouldn't be loosing too much of a legacy if you decided to register a new account with your Redbud name, and start using it.
When I've seen you so far, I've always thought of The Princess Bride.
We're building up quite a Central US clump; I used to live in KS, Kayla and TStorm are both Kansans, and Caleb is from KCMO. I know there are other Kansans...wasn't there a principal named ScreechOwl or something from KS?

Teshi was the alternate-name of a potential character in a story I was once going to write... the story died (not for a legitimate reason), but the start including the character remained. One day, I don't remember when, in memory of this character, I named myself Teshi.
I'm also Queen Victoria II, but she's too stuffy for every day use.

Mine is my name (because I was stupid enough to put in a real name thinking it would still leave some evidence that I have a normal-type strange user name) oh well. I don't use my regular name anywhere else. I'm usually much more creative.

I could have sworn I already posted this. Oh well.
I made this up when I signed onto Pweb (my first forum). I was doing Latin at the time, and was quite ... enamoured ... with the language. So I decided to use it for my new screen name. Ea quae legit means "she who reads," which describes me quite well. I shortened it to two words because I wasn't sure I would be allowed to use three. And then I liked it, and it stuck. Now I use it for just about everything.
(And here at least, "reads" is very apt - I lurk like crazy, but rarely post.)

Bible answer: Melchior was one of the three Maji that followed the star to Jesus.
Why I used it: Melchior is on of the three Maji used by the Japanese government to make critical decisions, because computers are much more objective. They are located in the underground facility base for an organization called NERV, which was established after second impact. Second Impact was a catastrophic event that completely destroyed the south pole and flooded much of the world. It was induced by Gendo Ikari, leader of NERV, when he unsuccessfully attempted to contain the First Angel, Adam, who then revolted and caused second impact. (this is all from an anime, Neon Genesis Evangelion)

Hekla is a volcano that erupts about every 5 years. It is appropriate as I probably post about that often Posts: 31 | Registered: Jun 2002

I used to bill myself as Bonovox in the early days of the band, but this shortened version suits me. It can be a bit confusing at times, though -Frank Sinatra thought I was Sonny Bono...

Bricks-N-Sandwiches is of course the percieved way that the descoladores interpret info. I have also convinced my fellow workers at the Subs-N-More where I work that when I rule the world it will be thru the diplomatic use of both Bricks and Sandwiches...And I make some pretty damned good sandwiches. Besides it is much better then my real name Michael Goodenough Posts: 46 | Registered: Aug 2003

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 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.

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.
