A different subject....name origins

[Anck Su Namun]

Ok, I don't get some of you people's names. Explain if you please.

Mine is simply because I have always been fascinated by Ancient Egypt.

[Tuvi]

what my name all boils down to is that i am tuvi.

btw, we did this not too awfully long ago.

[TheLoneGunman]

As I state every few weeks when we keep rehashing the same topic (some of you are like old men who keep having the same conversation), I AM The Lone Gunman.

[carpenoctem]

well, I seize the night...

[GraingerGuy]

I live in a dorm named Grainger

I am a guy

hence....GraingerGuy

[Mike_N_Ike]

Was playing Quake 3 for the first time and my dorm-mates were telling me I needed a name. I was eating Mike & Ike's at the time and I'm a Mike so I figured I'd temporarily call myself mike_n_ike. Sigh, haven't been able to get rid of it since then.

[YanksFanRy]

Pretty simple...

I like the Yankees, a.k.a the Yanks, thus I am their fan. My name is Ryan.

YanksFanRy

cuz they ain't nuthin but chianti and shrimps for breakfast at my crib.

[g222leav]

g-222-leav

g= first letter of first name
222= favorite number
leav= last name

222, was also my first employee number at my first real job. so that stuck. people new each other's time at the job by their number (i was the 222nd employee)...and that turned in to tripleduece, and duecedcubed...which later turned into the name for my website.

if you check my profile, my name will come up as "gully bull" that is just my pen/online name that i use. it came as a nick name i got from my gram. she couldn't pronouce my name, and kept calling me "goody" my friends heard that and thought she called me "gully" that stuck especially cause the film "ferngully" had just come out. so i needed a last name, and gully bull just seemed to work nicely (especially online, and filling out those questionaires, wonder how many people actually notice that my name phenetically is gullible)

[mojo]

"mr mojo risin....mr mojo risin"
from la woman by the doors

anagram for jim morrison. he may have thought that it had something to do with the male sexual organ, and many people have adopted that thought today. however, it means a variety of things. most of them have to do with luck or the supernatural.

incidentally, it's just because
"i just got into town about an hour ago
took a look around, see which way the wind blow..."

[StonedWheat]

High (baked lit stoned squinty), eating some crackers, looked at the box, it said Stoned Wheat, hence the name.
