The Nickname we choose....
Thursday, August 1, 2002 by joetheblow | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Why did you choose the nickname you chose???
I chose joetheblow because I'm just an ordinary Joe Blow. I put my pants on one leg at a time, I have a wife, 2.5 kids, single, live with my parents, about to go to a retirement home, highschool teenager, college graduate, voting, non-voting, citizen, alien, yada yada yada...you get the point.
So I have meaning behind my name. Does yours? Or is it just a name you came up with? (nothing wrong with that!!!)
I have alsonoticed that some people wanted to change (or have) their nickname, why???

~ Mine is from a series of books I read a long time ago. Drangonlance. I was drawn to the character of Raistlin Majere. He was a very young and powerful mage who paid for his power with his health, soul and eventually his life.

Mine is a name passed down through the ages, from grayhaze to grayhaze. There has always been a grayhaze for as long as man can remember, fighting injustice and upholding the skinning way.
I became the current grayhaze around 1995 after witnessing the fall of the previous grayhaze at the hands of our sworn enemy - Nameless One. Since that time I have been working to secretly restore the ancient art of skinning from the inside, manipulating the minds of others by convincing them that they are experiencing something new. Such is the life of a grayhaze.
Soon I shall pass the responsibility onto someone else, as I fear the Nameless One grows ever closer.

Fuzzy, I just said it was more iambic than onomatopoetic. I mean, I guess you could read it iambically if you wanted, but that'd sound pretty stupid!

bkboy determines that the word onomatopoetic is much too incendiary for MB use and misuse, and rips it from the dictionary. Then burns it. Then scatters the ashes where Glen won't find them!

Caylynn was the name of one of my role-playing characters. I used to write for a Star Trek RPG, and when I was given my own command, I needed to come up with a name for my Captain character. I already had a character named Catherine, my favourite name, and I had an NPC named Caitlin, another fave name. So, played around with variations on Caitlin, I came up with Caylynn. And so Captain Caylynn Donne, MD, Commanding Officer of the USS NEBULA was created.
Caylynn seemed like a pretty unique name, so it stuck as my user name for plenty of other things (except for Hotmail and Yahoo! - Caylynn was already taken there.
