View Full Version : Your Handle -- Why did you chose it? [Merged]

OK, as I've just explained monsterpodo, 'la masse' means the mass (hum... OK, I know you all guessed that) which can be interpreted in French as 'really good'. If you say that you're a mass at math, it means you're very good at it, or that you're a fat liar.
The reason why I chose this was that I was a total **** at Flash when I arrived here. Unfortunately, now that Supra, Upu, Thor and Bernardo have taught me a few tricks, this can sound like I'm bragging. But I'm not. Honnest. Well, maybe a little bit.
I'd be most interested in Phil's explanation of his nickname...

I don't know where my nickname came from. It's a total mystery to me. K-I-R-U-P-A, what a strange sounding word. Bernardo seems to be confused as to the origins of my nickname as well.

Well, I've already explained it in the beginning, but for those of you who are new, I'll go through it again. :)
Upuaut is an Ancient Egyptian god, one of two jackle gods, the other being anubis.
Upuaut is the "opener of ways", who's duty it was to lead souls to the Duat where their hearts could be weighed against the weight of a feather to determine if they were worthy of a place at Osiris' side.
Upuaut is also the name of a small knife used in the process of releasing the soul
Lastly, Upuaut, and UpuautII are the names of small robots designed by a German robotics engineer, the second of which was used to explore and clear the shafts in the Queen's chamber in the great pyramid of Giza. UpuautII was the discoverer of a tiny stone door with copper fittings at the end of one of these shafts, which as of yet has not been able to be opened.
Much information can be found by typing upuaut into google search.
Sorry I forgot to mention the pronounciation. rather than add another post I'll put it here at the end.
Upuaut is pronounced "Wep-we-wet"
thoriphes
March 10th, 2002, 12:41 PM
how exactly do you pronounce that, upu? and kirupa, isn't your (real) name...kirupa?
anyway, with my name, i came up with it by rearranging the name of a fictional character i really adored (a while back).
the original name was "Sephiroth" (from Final Fantasy VII). I reversed the name so it became "Htorihpes", but that didn't look too good or sane to pronounce, so i switched the necessary letters and it finally became "Thoriphes". in conclusion, i can't really say that my nickname was really original, but it sounds pretty cool. if i have a kid, im gonna name him "thoriphes". lol, it's funny when i explain people what it means as opposed to how i got to it. i say that "thoriphes" was among the strongest of the Greek soldiers at the time ("thor" meaning strong and "phes" sounding pretty greek to me). of course, i'm lying. i don't really know if there was anyone named that. so to let my legacy continue, i'm gonna introduce the name "thoriphes" to the world. muahahaha. in a thousand years...President Bill Thoriphes...in two thousand...King Thoriphes XXXIII....in three thousand years..."then Thoriphes said...let there be Flash...and there was, and He thought it was good..."

March 10th, 2002, 01:52 PM
I agree w/ Thor about Sephiroth. I also think FFVII was one of the best games ever made. My name is pretty stupid actually. I work with this kid name Matt. His nickname before I met him was "W-B". When I met him, I decided that was too many syllables so I shortened it to "Dubba". He didn't like it at first, for a few reasons that don't have anything to do with this story. So he called me Jubba (because my first name, Jeff, begins w/ a "J"). So Jubba became my name. However, when I went to register for the ezboard name of Jubba, it was taken. I was one p!ssed off s.o.b. So i changed my name to IamNotJubba. Great story huh?

Mr. Flash
January 25th, 2003, 10:44 PM
I thought of my nickname pretty easy. I love running, and I'm very good at it. People call me flash, because they say I am so fast. That came in handy when I saw this forum. Flash is what I wanted to learn, and my nickname was flash, so I came up with Mr. Flash. Also, the reason people call me flash is because of the show flash gordon. The guy who could make it to any destination in the blink of an eye. That is why in my sig area, i put "You can just call me Flash Gordon."

my initials are MAJ, and with the addition of an EYE (possibly a third), it then becomes wiseman. Too bad I am only wise in comparison to the dimwits which populate my surroundings.
I would have used my main alias, Microwave Burrito, but that would not fit in its entirety, so Majeye it became. I use the MB alias to describe myself, because i've spent my life like a microwave burrito, frozen; and my only chance to thaw comes right before getting nuked.
The fact that i can admit that i am not very wise is what makes me wise. :) Coupled with the fact that i can hold my own at Jeopardy..:trout:

senocular
January 26th, 2003, 03:22 PM
senocular: by definition - having 6 eyes.
Not many creatures have 6 eyes. Those I know of which do are certain species of spiders, though I myself am not arachnid in nature nor try to be ;) then again, I dont have 6 eyes either.
senocular was derived from 'nocular' which is the domain name I currently own. That was derived from just brainstorming on the following requirements I layed out for myself in deciding what ot register.
something unusual and 'cool'
something w/o hyphens and which can be easily to somewhat easily spelled through just hearing it
no greater than 8 characters
non-compund word (as many sites seem to be now-a-days)
of or relating to something visual, as it would be a vehicle for my own visual expression (that has yet to happen heh)
nocular is what I came up with after 'binoculars' at some point sprouted up in all my brainstorming. It was available and I took it. Then I started registering the term with the common portals/chat clients. I hit a snag with Yahoo! though. Someone had already registered it there :!: So then I had to think of something else, (even though I had already gotten the domain at this point).
From there I decided to derive something off of nocular either through some sort of a prefix or suffix. I did a search and senocular was one of the things that came up. the se prefix meant 6 which I thought related well with there being 6 sides to a cube, and after all, I went to college to learn 3d modeling (however, I couldnt get into any of the programs there until my 5th year because, well, my uni sucks - but as a consequense its how I got involved in flash etc., so I cant complain too much ;)).
Then, from se I also derived the pseudonym Santiago Esperanza, which you might have already noticed if you've emailed me before.
<-- also thres a 6 embedded in the avatar. :-\

Syntax is the the word for proper structure and spelling of code.
Sintax is ironic becasue of the definition of the word yet it is spelled wrong.
321 was added becaue the name was always taken. I've been using the name for like 5 years and I own the domain for it.

January 28th, 2003, 03:44 PM
I used to have another nick a few years ago, namely "FragLord". As you can guess, it was because i kicked everyones *** in FPS games, plus i was in a UT clan.
But then one winter, on X-Mas day, my girlfriend broke up with me inexplicably and I later found out that it was because she had a 1 night stand.
Needless to say, i was devastated beyond beleif for weeks.
My father (who is my only relative) said this to me when i was at the end of the tunnel: "Son, in moments like this, you need courage."
So FRAGLORD became =VALOR=

So he called me Jubba (because my first name, Jeff, begins w/ a "J"). So Jubba became my name. However, when I went to register for the ezboard name of Jubba, it was taken. I was one p!ssed off s.o.b. So i changed my name to IamNotJubba. Great story huh?
Since I could have whatever name, I changed my handle to Jubba. Its my favorite nickname. Others include EJ, or Gumby...

I have long hair that is shaven underneath.
once, when I had it tied back, my friend lifted up the ponytail and obviously it just came up to reveal the baldy skin underneath. she said it seemed like she was just lifting my hair right off, the way you can do with a lego man. and it just stuck.

Howdy you all! Me and bluegel think it would be a good idea to get you to explain where you got your names from. Allow me to start:
THE ORANGE ONE (aka:orange olly)
i got this name because i used to wear a lot of orange clothing from GAP (it used to be in fashion dammit! honestly!) I had bright orange truosers and matching orange body warmer (shudder, can't believe i used to wear that stuff).
Basically i used to look like a beastie boy.
I don't wear that stuff now, but the name has stuck with me. (mates think its cute). Also, because of my job i get to wear orange clothing still anyway (im a railway engineer. Railway=high-vis orange clothing. Grr.)
so what are your stories?

Well, I'm kind of new too, and I didn't read the previous thread, so here it is:
I came up with the name "Kajinku" when combining the Japanese words "Kawazu" (= frog) and "Kajika" (= singing frog). I kept the "u" from Kawazu and put an "n" to make it easier to pronounce. Why? To have an original nickname.
Anyways, my last name "Depuydt", has the exact same pronounciation of the Flemish word "de puit", which means "the frog". Basically, when saying my full name in Flemish, it means "Mathieu the frog". Voilà. :)

anorak means nerd... just so you guys know... I didn't know... cause I'm not british..
I saw someone once when I was in 7th grade with the handle lavaboy, and I decided to steal it. I even made it my email at MIT, etc... now I realize that people think it means "Lover Boy"...
I'm not sure what to make of that..

it is!
Basically it comes from the fact that those who watch trains as a hobbie, are outside all the time - and often wear anoraks. (so thats why anoraks - mean nerds)
