[Luminous]

I have seen the light... and i have walked out of the darkness... and the light has made me Luminous. Plus: Buddhism is the Luminous religion.

 

[AlsoAnima]

AlsoAnima is my way of saying "By the way, I'm human too." which people often forget when debating or discussing serious topics with one another.

 

[Clover]

Clover is my name, cause I love the 3-leaf Clover, and I am glad ot be part-irish, and I plan on getting a tattoo of a clover on my face, but I might not be able to considering I want to work at a university, and I am pretty sure they would be iffy on allowing someone with one, even though I think that is rather dumb to assume someone is "wrong" for a university job, because of their choice of tattoo.

 

[Amandus]

My username is not a reference to the Catholic saint St. Amandus. It is a masculine variant of my name, Amanda. I use variants of my name as usernames, for example, אמנדה (Hebrew), Аманда (Russian) and Amandus (masculine).

 

[rageoftyrael]

that may be the masculine version of amanda, but i pity the boy who is given that name, lol.

 

[Venatoris]

Venatoris means "Hunter" in latin. Started using it in high school for Fps games and it stuck with me.
My younger sister uses "Venatrix" which is "huntress".

 

[yginny900]

My username is yginny.
The reason is like this:y stands for my surname and ginny is my given name.
I am a new member and so i say hi to all of u here.

 

[Dezzie]

My user name is Dezzie because that is what everyone calls me at work. My last name is too difficult for some people to say so they either call me Dezzie, Dee, or Dez.

[Anti-thesisofreason]

My name was given to me by a Christian friend who found my persoanl views to be antithetical to his reasoning thus he called me the antithesis of reason.

 

[Engyo]

Engyo is my Buddhist name. En means round, or complete; and gyo means practice. I take this as a goal to strive towards, rather than a recognition of something I have already achieved.

 

[Demonic Kitten]

My name comes from a few different places and I just decided to stick them all together. I used Demonic because I have been called a demon on a few occasions..as well as evil, spawn of satan, and devil incarnate. Kitten is because while I am a human most people say that I have a cat like personality. I don't know where they get that idea from.. *stops sharpening claws* ^_^

 

[Dirty Penguin]

Yeah so I'm SURE this thread has been done before but I was just curious. I always wonder why people have the user name they do.

Mine is CDRaider because my name is Christina D and my schools mascot are the Raiders (we used to have this ugly red headed viking as our mascot but now we are wolves.. sucky mascot huh)

So what about yours?

Dirty Penguin just sounded cool....

I'm a computer guy so the "Penguin" comes from that. In the computer operating system world there is argument as to which is better (Micro$oft or Linux). The chief mascot for Linux is the penguin...which I'm a big fan of (Linux). It's a free operating system that incorporates a free MS Office style program that is, you guessed it, FREE....

So for me Dirty Penguin represents me....

I know...stupid huh?....Nerdy..huh...?...

I found Ubuntu a couple years ago. I haven't looked back I love free and I really like the Ubuntu operating system.

I found Ubuntu a couple years ago. I haven't looked back I love free and I really like the Ubuntu operating system.

Unfortunately I'm forced to use Micro$oft products at work...but after these holidays are over I think I'm going to upgrade my work laptop to the OS...

Oh... Go check this out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remastersys

I've used it and it is bad action. I used it to move my Ubuntu from one laptop to a new one.

 

[Arkholt]

Mine's just a name I came up with out of my head, when I needed a new name for a MUD (online text-based RPG) I was playing. Then I started using it everywhere.

Pretty boring, I know.

 

[LovebirdsFlying]

I used to be known as Cruztacean, a play on the fact that my maiden name was Cruz, and that I was born in late June (cancer, the crab.) Then I met and married my soulmate, and felt the need for a new identity. I went from being something soft and vulnerable with a hard outer shell, to something free that flies.

 

[Dena]

Mine is pretty simple. It's my name.

 

[Line Noise]

It interrupts my thoughts frequently.

To avoid the association from names I've used elsewhere.
