Post by: Yayu on December 18, 2007, 06:27:29 AM: I got my nickname from my grandmother (who passed away just recently, god bless her soul)
I don't know how she got "Yayu" from Ryan but I guess it stuck with me pretty well.

But sadly I just found out on youtube that there's some weird Yaoi (Homosexual Anime fan stuff) Yugi-oh videos with my name as a title. Supposedly it's some abbreviation: Yami + Yugi = Yayu? :complain

Post by: EleManT24 on December 18, 2007, 07:35:38 AM: My username has kind of a weird meaning. I was really obsessed with the Elephant Man ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Merrick ) a few years ago. I read every piece of literature about him I could find. I was going through a rough time in my life, and I suppose I looked at him like a kindred spirit of sorts. Anyway, I abbreviated that, then added a "t" to the end because I thought that sounded better. But that name was taken on youtube, so I added "24," which is my birthday in April. I wanted my forum name to be the same as my youtube name so it would be easier for you guys to find my videos. And that's the story of my rather bizarre name.

Sorry about your grandma, Yayu. I lost my grandfather this year.

Post by: Matt-Chez on December 18, 2007, 01:03:35 PM: mines just an abbreviation of my name,,
Matt Csesznyak is my full name, it was previously Zymonyak, but had to be changed to escape detection during world war 2 when my grandfather fled Austria.
his sister was shot and he was put into a camp even though he wasn't Jewish (he never talked about why), where he and 3 of his friends escaped after about 2 weeks of imprisonment, one of his friends was captured, another froze to death in a ditch where they hid for a night, the other one just went his separate ways, so i don't know where he ended up, but my grandfather somehow made it to england, (missing a few toes :P)

so,, i put my name as chez so it can be roughly understood, seems most people cant pronounce Csesznyak!!

Post by: pvhotrodmonkey on December 18, 2007, 01:11:13 PM: hmmm pvhotrodmonkey.....you know that this is gonna be interesting folks...=\

some of you may see it in a car magazine or some thin..he mostly does custom cars and all that jazz, like once, he built the first muscle car with paddle shifters. was REALLY cool.

The Hot Rod part...well i just explained that i guess O.o

Post by: Kriztov on December 18, 2007, 05:40:01 PM: When I was signing up for my first e-mail address (aged about 12) I asked for chris@yahoo.co.uk

Surprisingly, that was already taken.

I started trying alternative spellings

kris
kriz
kristoffer
kristova
kriztov

I used as my alias for online games and forums ever since.
Also, as Chris is a fairly common name a lot of people have me saved as Kriz on their mobiles so I get it in txt messages a lot too.

Post by: psionics on December 18, 2007, 06:35:19 PM: nice topic!

"psionics" is my main purpose in life.. actually this is a very rare old book which covers all the possible future which came true: credit card system,barcode, UKACO, radionics, government etc.... some sort of scientific and paranormal partly. i had this once but my friend lost it while being borrowed. i had it written up some great part of this book btw. this is my future plans.

psionics = psi(mind or magic) + ionics(or machine)

which leads to decoding psychic language to machine. the great part of it is that i was a psychic healer from my teen life. i am part of a secret group in my country name CKS aka club of knowledge seekers. its founder's father is the one who brings up the the "sylvia mind conrol program" or the alpha level of conciousness to the philippines. now as the sub-level of philippine information agency to which it is made legal to search information in such areas prohibited to normal people. the CKS is for internal knowledge not found on websites, books and known paranormal groups. psionics or radionics is already existing today, but much more on the electronic side. i wish i could lived up my life to finish my experiments when i grow old. now, im currently so busy for my career growth and money to which i am currently short. my name psionics is what i am and not related to nunchaku.

"hapuzi" is my cybername and used it from playing counter-strike, i got this one from random keystrokes and mild edit. i need a name which is unique.. a real name without relation to existing names. i dont wanna relate it to anything like "Hey! Pussy!" its nothing but a name. now, im gonna use it for a comical character.. this would be a demon hapuzi. an entity which came from the negative thoughts of people. but this is just a plan or idea.

Howard Lee is my real name, it should be "Li" but same thing with Matt, the government changed it to Lee. only my father has the "Lee", his brothers is still "Li". Our ancentor according to my father is genghis khan (i dunno the spelling). i maybe related to jet li, but not bruce lee.. i dunno..
Title: Re: what does your username mean?
Post by: Exmortem on December 18, 2007, 08:11:27 PM: Alright, time to explain my username.

Ex: stands for "(going) out (of)"
mortem: simply means "death"

Well, I got in contact with a PC when I was only four years old. Since then I really missed a lot social contact in my life.
After I've stopped wasting my time in playing computer games for hours (12-14yrs) I closed a chapter in my life.
The process of "going out of death" (or getting active instead of wasting time) is what my username represents.

Of course it also brought some positive aspects (unlimited access to information, learning how to use a computer, getting in contact with people anonymously ...) but it's really hard to work against the negative aspects. Today I'm very optimistic about my future.

PS: The Nunchaku does help me to build additional self-confidence, it's nice to discover your own potential and peoples' reaction about it. It's good to know that there's something in your life where you can't fall back.

That's my story :)

Post by: Numbnuts on December 18, 2007, 10:18:10 PM: The meaning behind my username isn't all that deep but I'll explain it anyway.

Numbnuts is another word I use for nunchux. We have seen people misspell nunchaku as numchucks, and sometimes numbchucks.

They say a sport is characterized by it's type of injuries and with nunchucks, one can easily bash their nuts.

I found this on that "uncyclopedia" website, that RC showed us.
"Numchucks" are for Numbnuts.

Post by: teno-d on December 18, 2007, 10:19:06 PM: cool topic =P

teno-d is short for Tenodera, which is the form genera of a few species of mantids. The chinese mantis is Tenodera aridifolia sinensis, and since I've done mantis kung fu for a while I thought it appropriate.

Now I use it for everything so I don't have to remember a dozen different user names.

I did .. it was a MMORPG (massive multiplayer online role playing game) something like that. He told me that I should get a nickname .. after 2 days of brain storming I found one .. ToxicTears :) Now I use it everywhere on the internet. thats my little story. Interesting topic by the way

Title: Re: what does your username mean?
Post by: Hotaru on December 28, 2007, 05:48:29 PM: Hotaru is a character from the manga series Samurai Deeper Kyo - i'm a little obsessed with feudal Japan, particularly the time period around 1600, involving the Sengoku-Jidai period and the battle of Sekigahara that ended the civil war. Consequently I tend to love anything relating to this, and SDK is my favourite of the many manga series inspired from this period.
In the books, Hotaru is one of the Four Emperors, a ludicrously powerful group of samurai. I like him because despite being an outrageously violent assassin he's also completely scatter-brained, and does odd things like forgetting where he is in the middle of a battle because he's seen a caterpillar and is concerned it might get trodden on. In that respect he is very similar to me! Though I sadly am not much good with a katana.

(The TKD at the end relates to taekwondo, but I think I may ditch that as it's a bit clunky.)

Post by: crazy_monkee on January 12, 2008, 08:36:14 AM: this is a really cool topic :thumb:

well, when i used to do TKD, i was really small and nimble, so everyone there used to call me "monkey".
then i would do crazy trix with the chuks, so they called me "crazy monkey". As i got older, i wasn't really that nimble anymore, but the name kinda stuck.

then i changed a letter to make it look cool :-D

Post by: Wild Industry on January 12, 2008, 10:56:56 PM: I've used a single alias for every single thing until a bit recently. When I came to the forum, I wanted to separate this from other stuff, so I had to think of a new one.

I was signing up for YouTube. I thought of Cleer (a fusion of my first initial plus last name and the word "clear"), which is another new alias I came up with originally for my new blog. That name was taken on YouTube, so I needed yet another name.

I wrote this somewhere here before (my intro thread?)

There are three reasons for my name:
1. It though it sounded neat at the time.
2. It represents the out of control industrialization of the modern world.
3. It also relates to what I do at the site, which is produce images and videos.

Post by: rents on February 24, 2008, 11:34:31 AM: Wow very interesting to read all these!
As for me, a few years ago when I was registering myself on a website I didn't have a clue
what would be a good user name. Well, I had just watched the movie "Trainspotting" and the main character
of the movie was Mark Renton. I chose my name to be "Renton" and thought that I'll change it when I come
up with a better one. Even today, I'm "renton" on that same site. :-P
Err.. I don't really have to have a cool name for myself so when I registered myself here I chose "rents" as my name..
Renton is also called "Rents" in the book.. My user name is nothing but a joke really.
Oh, and if you've seen the movie and you liked it, I highly recommend the book! :thumb: :lmfao:

Post by: moomin-mama on May 27, 2008, 08:57:16 PM: well, not very original mine but have you heard of the moomins??

it was a dated japanese half french cartoon about thesepinky white hippos that lived on a farm and did little family things together. moomin mama was always the kindest moomin and wore a stripey pinney. i dont know why. apparently you wear pinneys or aprons if your a woman... ??

i used to watch it when i was a kid but it scared the bejesus out of me. i say it is STILL scary. i hated the cartoon but watched it because at the time the only cartoons on uk kiddies tv programs were that, sooty and sweep, rosy and jim, or wizzadora. OMFG i HATE wizzodora, it would have been a blessing to have todays cartoons available when i was a kid!

so anyway i used to have nightmares about the moomins, and had a reoccuring one where the main moomin, the young boy was came beside me while i was sitting on the roof (dont ask why) and then obviously pushed me off and i fell into an eternal void constantly falling. one of those dreams. he betrayed my trust!

but seriously that was VERY scary at the time even when i dreamt it a few times. im still easily scared.

anyway the reason i use moomin mama is because its just another word i use for mum, and i always call my mum that and she calls me that as an affectionate way to refer to each other. awwww! :clap

Post by: Flowpulse on May 28, 2008, 04:28:35 PM: Soulwire is also the name of my musical alias. I chose the name to represent my thoughts about life. I see life (our subjective interpretation of it, at least) as this gigantic, webbed tapestry that we have created (consciously or not) depending on how we have reacted and perceived each succeeding experience. Each of these webs are like threads that are interwoven and strengthened through those active choices we make. Soulwire is just a reflection of one thread, one piece of the that fabric... Well, that's the thought behind the name. It's a symbolic representation of how we create and interconnect our perception of life one choice at a time.

Heru-ra-ha

"The half of the word of Heru-ra-ha, called Hoor-pa-kraat and Ra-Hoor-Khut." Liber AL vel Legis 3:35

The name Heru-ra-ha addresses a special Egyptian god that seems to be the two images of Horus in one body. Thus they are Ra-hoor-khuit, the hawk headed warrior, and Hoor-pa-kraat, the crowned and conquering child Harpocrates, seated on a lily pad.

Heru signifies Horus. Ra is the sun god. Ha is an Egyptian phonetic that seems to denote praise.

Crowley wrote that "the language suggests that Heru-ra-ha is the true name of the Unity who is symbolized by the Twins, Harpocrates and Horus." He added that "The doctrine of the dual character of the God is very important to a proper understanding of Him."

In the Book of Troth, Crowley introduces us to Heru-Ra-Ha when he comments on the Aeon Tarot card. He wrote:

"Around the top of the card is the body of Nuit, the star-goddess, who is the category of unlimited possibility; her mate is Hadit, the ubiquitous point-of-view, the only philosophically tenable conception of Reality. He is represented by a globe of fire, representing eternal energy; winged, to show his power of Going. As a result of the marriage of these two, the child Horus is born. He is, however, known under his special name, Heru-Ra-Ha. A double god; his extraverted form is Ra-hoor-khuit; and his passive or introverted form Hoor-pa-kraat. He is also solar in character, and is therefore shown coming forth in golden light."

Heru-ra-ha
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Heru-ra-ha (literally "Horus sun-flesh", among other possible meanings[1]) is a composite deity within Thelema, a religion adapted from the philosophy of François Rabelais in 1904 with the writing of The Book of the Law by Aleister Crowley.[2] Heru-ra-ha is composed of Ra-Hoor-Khuit and Hoor-par-kraat.[3] He is associated with the other two major Thelemic deities found in The Book of the Law, Nuit and Hadit, who are also godforms related to ancient Egyptian mythology. Their images link Nuit and Hadit to the established Egyptian deities Nut and Hor-Bhdt (Horus of Edfu).
Active aspect
Ra-Hoor-Khuit (Egyptian: Ra-Har-Khuti or possibly Ra-Har-Akht), more commonly referred to by the Greek transliteration Ra-Herakhty, means "Ra (who is) Horus on the Horizon."[4] An appellation of Ra, identifying him with Horus, this name shows the two as manifestations of the singular Solar Force. Ra-Hoor-Khuit or Ra-Hoor-Khut is the speaker in the Third Chapter of The Book of the Law. Some quotes from his Chapter:

* "Now let it be first understood that I am a god of War and of Vengeance." [5]
* "Fear not at all; fear neither men nor Fates, nor gods, nor anything. Money fear not, nor laughter of the folk folly, nor any other power in heaven or upon the earth or under the earth. Nu is your refuge as Hadit your light; and I am the strength, force, vigour, of your arms." [6]
* "I am the warrior Lord of the Forties: the Eighties cower before me, & are abased. I will bring you to victory & joy: I will be at your arms in battle & ye shall delight to slay. Success is your proof; courage is your armour; go on, go on, in my strength; & ye shall turn not back for any!" [7]
* "There is no law beyond Do what thou wilt." [8]

Within Thelema, Ra-Hoor-Khuit is called the Lord of the Aeon (which began in 1904 according to Thelemic doctrine), and The Crowned and Conquering Child.

According to the instructions that Crowley claimed to have received from the 8th Enochian Aethyr, the five-pointed "star of flame" symbolizes Ra-Hoor-Khuit in certain contexts.[9]

"Khuit" also refers to a local form of the goddess Hathor at Athribis,[10] who guarded the heart of Osiris.[11] "Khut" refers to the goddess Isis as light giver of the new year,[12] and by some accounts[13][14] can also mean the fiery serpent on the crown of Ra. This last meaning serves as a title of Isis in one of the hymns to "Isis-Hathor" at the Temple of Philae. Hathor also has the titles "Uraeus of Ra" and "Great Flame".[15]

Passive aspect

Hoor-pa-kraat (Egyptian: Har-par-khered), more commonly referred to by the Greek transliteration Harpocrates, means "Horus the Child"; Horus, the son of Isis and Osiris, sometimes distinguished from their brother Horus the Elder,[16] who was the old patron deity of Upper Egypt; the worship of the two gods became confused early in Egyptian history and the two essentially merged[citation needed]. Represented as a young boy with a child's sidelock of hair, sucking his finger. The Greeks,[17] Ovid and the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn attributed Silence to him, presumably because the sucking of the finger is suggestive of the common "shhh" gesture. The author of The Book of the Law introduces himself as "the minister of Hoor-paar-kraat."[18]

Also known as "The Babe in the Lotus", Hoor Paar Kraat is sometimes thought of as the baby Ra-Hoor-Khuit[19] and sometimes as the younger brother of Horus.[20] The former view in the works of Aleister Crowley portrays Ra-Hoor-Khuit -- in place of the Golden Dawn's Osiris/Jesus -- as a model for the initiate, and thus describes attainment as a natural growth process, de-emphasizing the metaphor of death and resurrection. In the second view, the Golden Dawn placed Hoor Paar Kraat at the center of their Hall of Ma'at while the officers of the temple (one of whom represented Horus) revolved around him.

Combined form

The Cry of the First Aethyr in Crowley's Liber 418 presents Horus, the Crowned and Conquering Child, as the union of many opposites.

It is a little child covered with lilies and roses. He is supported by countless myriads of Archangels. The Archangels are all the same colourless brilliance, and every one of them is blind. Below the Archangels again are many, many other legions, and so on far below, so far that the eye cannot pierce. And on his forehead, and on his heart, and in his hand, is the secret sigil of the Beast. (fn: Sun and moon conjoined) And of all this the glory is so great that all the spiritual senses fail, and their reflections in the body fail.(...)This child danceth not, but it is because he is the soul of the two dances, --- the right hand and the left hand, and in him they are one dance, the dance without motion.

ok so the Heru is just a shortened version of Heru-Ra-Ha, but what about the 418?...

Abrahadabra
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Abrahadabra is a word that first publicly appeared in The Book of the Law, the central sacred text of Thelema. Its author, Aleister Crowley, described it as the "the Word of the Aeon, which signifieth The Great Work accomplished." [1] This is in reference to his belief that the writing of Liber Legis heralded a new Aeon for mankind that was ruled by the god Ra-Hoor-Khuit (a form of Horus). Abrahadabra is, therefore, the "magical formula" of this new age. It is not to be confused with the Word of the Law of the Aeon, which is Thelema, meaning Will.
Mystical interpretations

Gematria

As with most things found in the mystical works of Aleister Crowley, the word Abrahadabra can be examined using the qabalistic method of gematria, which is a form of numerology, whereby correspondences are made based on numerical values.

* ABRAHADABRA = 418
* ABRAHADABRA has 11 letters
* ABRAHADABRA = 1+2+2+1+5+1+4+1+2+2+1 = 22
* The five letters in the word are: A, the Crown; B, the Wand; D, the Cup; H, the Sword; R, the Rosy Cross; and refer further to Amoun the Father, Thoth His messenger, and Isis, Horus, Osiris, the divine-human triad.
* Also 418 = ATh IAV, the Essence of IAO
* 418= BVLShKIN, or Boleskine
* 418= RA HVVR, or Ra Hoor
* 418= ∑(13-31)
* Abrahadabra is from Abrasax, Father Sun, which = 365 [5]
* 418 = 22 x 19 Manifestation

Other interpretations

In Aramaic this word roughly translates into "I will create as I speak."

* Had is the keyword of Abrahadabra. Had is another name for Hadit, the second Speaker in Liber Legis.

* "ABRAHADABRA is "The key of the rituals" because it expresses the Magical Formulae of uniting various complementary ideas; especially the Five of the Microcosm with the Six of the Macrocosm." [1]

* "Abrahadabra is the glyph of the blending of the 5 and the 6, the Rose and the Cross." [2]

Quotes from Liber Legis

* "Abrahadabra; the reward of Ra Hoor Khut." (AL III:1)
* "This book shall be translated into all tongues: but always with the original in the writing of the Beast; for in the chance shape of the letters and their position to one another: in these are mysteries that no Beast shall divine. Let him not seek to try: but one cometh after him, whence I say not, who shall discover the Key of it all. Then this line drawn is a key: then this circle squared in its failure is a key also. And Abrahadabra. It shall be his child & that strangely. Let him not seek after this; for thereby alone can he fall from it." (AL III:47)
* "The ending of the words is the Word Abrahadabra." (AL III:75)

...so 418 is the numerical representation of the Word of the Aeon of Heru-Ra_ha. there you guys go. and Heru418 is explained! :thumb:

so it was Harciog -> Ciog -> Cioghi. Harciog means Hamster btw :D

Post by: theraven39 on March 04, 2009, 08:59:42 PM: Well, mine's fairly shallow. When I was in middle school we read some Poe, and I always really enjoyed the way the verses flowed in the raven. I was also kinda casual goth back then. Guess philosophically I still kinda am, but I wear colors now. Anyway, I memorized the entire poem and could spout it off by memory. There was a certain darkness and longing to it, which I felt portrayed the state of humanity as a whole, so when I got my first e-mail account, theraven, the_raven, and whatever else were already taken, and the_raven39 was a suggestion by the site, so I took it and just kinda kept it. I'm a creature of habit. I also like the concept of the raven as a creature. It's dark and strong, and unlike the crow, it has the advantage of size, and a more aggressive temperment. Crows are just surly little rabble birds. Oh, just as a side note, in the movie, The Crow, the bird was actually a raven. Not important, I just always thought it was funny, like how in Karate Kid, the kid was taught Kung Fu.

Nunchucks are dangerous because guys are prone to hitting themselves in the nuts which can make their nuts go numb.

Dark Oasis is that name of a room in the game Metriod Prime 2: Echoes.
my first choice was The Plains of Dark Worship, but it is a bit too long to use in most places and i didn't wanna have to use 2 names..

also, i HATE it when people say 'num'chucks. i live here in the south and everyone says it.

Post by: Oddstorm7 on April 14, 2012, 06:20:46 AM: Oddstorm...

first you have to know that when I was a kid, most of the boys my age made up "codenames" or nicknames they called themselves or introduce themselves as. I went through a few weird ones but I didn't keep most of them.

When I founded my parkour team back in high school, I kinda introduced this idea that the name your born with is simply what your parents choose to call you. that you should go by what YOU call YOURSELF. you can choose anything you like, first,middle, last name, a nickname, a spiritual name, a screen name, anything.

at that time I was Squall. I always enjoyed that name, being it was what I used in ceramonies back in my pagan days. then...I droped it because of the similarities between me and the videogame charater (final fantasy 8 / squall lionheart). I had deleted my old e-mails, and was changing my facebook at the time. so one day it came to me while staring at the clouds day dreaming.

Odd = my unconventional personality. I've always been recognized as weird, bizzare, akward, and VERY unique. I was bullied in school for acting different, but I did it cause I always follow my heart and be myself. so nowadays, I wear the title "freak" with pride.

Storm = I'm a HUGE nerd when it comes to things like elements, mythology, astrology, and things like that. I've always felt like I associated with Wind and many of my habits and my overall personality had been described as being that of an "air type"...even though I'm a leo (fire sign). I feel most comfortable when its raining or cloudy outside. I've study meteorology since childhood (early pilot job fantasy) and most importantly, some of my most productive, impressive, and most EPIC experiences and sessions in using the nunchaku have been during severe thnderstorms.

[Odd+Storm = Oddstorm (Fourteen is my favorite/lucky number) two words (odd/storm) 14/2 = 7 ] = Oddstorm7

While I was considering I remembered a German :smoke:-movie :-D

Here's the link:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=--w9MsyqH3c&feature=relmfu

Activate the subtitles and watch from 8:50 minutes, it will explain itself, if you speak German you won't need the subtitles.
And if you want to watch the whole movie, do it, it's pretty funny. (For the subtitles you have to watch it on YT)

Post by: metalbird on September 14, 2012, 04:30:35 AM: Interesting topic and fun to read on the many ways we self-identify!

Metalbird comes from 22 years of flying aircraft (ie. metal birds) in the U.S. Navy. I liked it because I most of my flight experience is in the P-3C Orion, a submarine hunter. Most of our time is spent at very low altitudes between 50 to 1000 feet. At these altitudes over the ocean, you hit lots of pockets of cool and warm air which makes most of these flights quite bumpy, almost like the plane is flapping it's wings. Kind of a running joke among the crew, especially when we had a new junior pilot at the controls. (http://i426.photobucket.com/albums/pp343/metalbird/Military%20stuff/loop.gif)
