Where did your DGN name come from?

[Ginevra]

Where did you get your DGN name from? Is it just a login that you use here? Is it a nickname someone gave you? Speak up, people. . . . . inquiring minds want to know! :D

Special props to Onyx for being the only member on DGN with a screen name that starts with O !

[Brenda Starrr]

It was a joke between me and a friend of mine.

[Vater Araignee]

It started out as spider because I was a climber then peps noticed that I was good at creeping so they called me Spyder Then I created a comic book character named The Black Spider and I ended up BlaXpyder but I wanted something gothy so Araignee Noir (spider black) sounded too snobby I dropped the noir and became Vater Araignee (father spider)

It was a joke between me and a friend of mine.

And the joke was? Having to do with the comic book detective of the same name?

[Lilith]

my hubby is rather fond of vamps and well our other nickname (draven_and_devine) was getting old so we choose new ones

[fallennon]

Mine came about when I fell down the stairs and lost my first son...

I named him Lennon, hence: fall + lennon

Yes, I have children. Two girls and a boy ?

Glad to see folks participating in the thread

[phee]

My name came from my older brother as soon as I was born... he was 4 and abriviated my name into "Phee" and my parents called me that, all his friends, my friends, we went to the same school etc...

[JaneDead]

my name comes from a line in a song from my husband's band.

[Onyx]

I had used the name Onyx elsewhere on the net for a few years before I posted on DGN.

I collect jewelry made of onyx. I like the way it looks and it's usually inexpensive too. Most onyx stones are dark and I've always liked the way onyx stones look, all dark and gothy and stuff

[LuluVox]

Lulu is the name of the most famous acting role of Louise Brooks, an actress and all-around badass from the early days of film. It's basically her nickname as well. Luvox is an anxiety medication.

I am the clever.

[JaneDead]

and she's pretty too

[LuluVox]

Who? Me or Louise Brooks?? :grin:

[JaneDead]

both! and your hair in your pics is like how her hair is in some of the pics i have seen. i love that hair style.

[LuluVox]

Hehehe, aw shucks.

Yes, I totally stole her hairstyle!

[Fierce Critter]

My husband and I both are into earth/pagan religions, with some special interest in NA ways.

We both have an affinity for wildlife, and believe in totem animals. His is river otter, mine is cougar, with some nod toward river otter as well (it's a somewhat complicated, boring story).

The cougar/mountain lion/puma/Florida panther names have been cliche'd and sport-teamed to death, so I didn't want to go with any of those variants. I like the term "critter" in reference to all animals, so I put an adjective describing cougar with that - voila, Fierce Critter.

It also describes my personality to a degree. I can be cute, cuddly and capable of much maternal love. But I can also defend myself and those I love with a ferocity that's a sight to behold.

I've become quite fond of the Critter nickname, and go by it online and in just about any place I have to plug in a name. Don't mind being called that in person, either.

[Head Wreck]

my name came from i dont know.

was when i was signing onto ezboard for an airsoft forum and found every name i typed taken. so i frustration head wreck appeared in the nickkname part of the form (where from i dunno).

it stuck

i did go for a time as corporal clinger after a 1 day game where i went round with an M1 carbine and blue flower frock with hobnail boots and tin hat.

it didnt stay long as people knew me as head wreck

[gothicmom]

I am, or was gothic and I'm a mom. voila!! Gothicmom

I use that name on line anywhere I don't want people to know my real name; it's my Live Journal and message board name. I don't care if people call me Gothicmom.

Funny thing....when ever I see GM somewhere Gothicmom always pops into my head!!!

[phee]

Amusingly enough, my brothers e-mail username is "deathmetaldad" along those same lines

[ManicQueen]

Mine came from a line in a Marilyn Manson song.

B~

[squee]
