The meaning of your name?

Why'd you choose the username you have right now? What does it mean? Any story as to how you chose it?

I got my name "Eggnogg" because I wanted something that was a valid length on most websites, and was simply named after an item, or some inconspicuous object. The extra "g" isn't incorrect spelling, I actually used to use Egg Noggin, or it was half-intended to be like that, but I dropped it. I've also gone by the names of SMP, and for a short time, Grinner. My name, Eggnogg, is still a bit immature/silly methinks, and I might change it again once I do something more important :p .

 

I came up with mine in a rather random fashion. While watching Greenaway's The Cook, The Thief His Wife & Her Lover (1989) I heard Albert saying:

Trelawney/trelawny sounds really funny in greek.

Spoiler

I googled further, then came across John Edward Trelawney, a biographer of Shelley and Byron, liked his photo and the fact that ,purely by chance considering how I came across him, he spent a good deal of his life in greece.. the rest is history.

It's really stupid, really. I was thinking about a name to go under for my youtube account, I wanted something relevant to my real name while still sounding somewhat uplifting. TheWonderMark came into mind but was sadly taken by some random bloke.

After a minute or two I figured that WanderMark sounds kinda the same as WonderMark. So there we go. Still wandering.

 

I remember quite clearly a comic on sinfest.net that featured a "nerd pride" character who had an unfortunately short run. I keep trying to find those again, to no avail. Maybe I imagined it?

One of the first things you learn about the male lead, Slick, is that he's basically a midget poser, always trying to live up to his "Slick D. Sexington" ideal man. The author has a love/hate thing for him. Sometimes he makes it appear that Slick's "golden heart" and intention to woo women everywhere is more important than reality. Yes, Sinfest tends to have a disgusting love for everything "pimpin".

There's one other nerd, named Criminy, who's more of a poetry and prose nerd and tends to go along with anything (I guess he wouldn't be with Fuschia otherwise?), but the nerdpride I remember was contrary to Slick from the beginning. That character burst into the comic saying, "I'm lame and I'm proud!" during one of Slick's more self-aware moments. I like that character mostly because it's undeveloped in the comic, it's aggressive in a backwards land, and I can project my own ideas in. Maybe it was just a small part of Slick rebelling (with a sign) and getting squashed out. Most of the opposition to Slick these days comes from the feminist girl tricycle gang, but the way they say things is frustrating.

 

Well, you can split my nick in 2 parts: komar and EX.
Komar in Polish language means mosquito. Why mosquito? When I was younger I was making websites but I wasn't pro enough, so I just "sucked" source code from other websites. I was young - didn't know it was bad. Tho as 14-15 yrs old I did quite popular website in PHP with GBA roms! xD When I found out that I could go to jail because of it I closed my website.
As for "EX". There was a fun game named Little Fighter 2. My favourite char was Louis. He had smth like evolution to LouisEX. Coz there was a lot of Komar nick users in internet I added EX in the end.
When I started using this nick in internet I was the only one - google couldn't find any websites with "komarEX" string.
Right now my nick is used by some soccer club in Poland and by some pharmacy (they named their antimosquito gel by my nick).

 

Tyngn is a play on my name

 

Chinizz, cause ... I've got chinese origin... HELL YEAH

 

Ej in polish means something like "hey you". So it's short and hipster deep.

Still cooler than everybody else .

 

Have (almost) the same first name as this man.... My (troll)dad started called me Segovia when I got older..... so when needed a internet alias... i switched the S with a Z so chances of the name being already taken would be low. The rest is history...

 

I steal music.

 

You, fool ! Stop to do this, or FBI gonna pick you while you are sleeping or playing at KAG !

 

Well I usually go by xxNarutoBleachFan360noscopexx6969 but I made a typo when registering for this site. So now I'm Contrary.

 

Mason= irl name Mistel= made up name
Mason+ mistel= masonmistel

 

I got the name OptimusLime because of bad puns I think of randomly.

Normally I go by "TeaSpork" though, it's cooler. Too bad I can't change my name :C

 

I needed a name for my first mmorpg; Tibia. Foxodi was from a random name generator there, and I've stuck to it for 8years now.
