Your TS name and why you chose it

What does your nickname mean?

I got to thinking today and was wondering what some of our members names meant. I know some of them might be personal, but I'm just curious. I got my name because I have freckles all over just my back (didn't listen to mom when I went to the beach when I was younger) and one of my friends said I looked like a Cheetah!!! I threw the Super in their because it just sounds cooler like that. I've also used GoCheetah and FlyingCheetah before.

Some members here have very unique names such as Lokem, Mictlantecuhtli, duku, didou, Phantasm66, Arris, etc. etc. (Sorry for anyone I'm not naming). Call me curious, but I would like to know what they mean.

Ahh... You meant nickname

Lok is actually my surname/family name. When I tried to register for some site a while ago a lot of my previous nicks were taken. I tried to use Lokee... But ah well, it was taken as well

Hey, you didn't mention me.

The father I never met gave me a second name: Erwin
And, as everyone would guess, 1978 is the year I went fishing.

From the About 3DS page:

My screen name is derived from my most favorite car yet that I have owned, a 1997 Ford Mustang Cobra. I sold it in the spring of 2000 for a BMW. Nothing can replace a Mustang Cobra.

What's in a name?

Goofy, well, uh, I got that from the Disney character that I most identify with....guess who?

Newfie is a slang word for a Newfoundlander, which I am proud to say I am.

Thus...Goofy Newfie.

Well if you read my profile it isn't hard to figure me out. I work on aircraft for a living as an Aviation Maintenance Tech. My favorite aircraft are Boeing (specifically the 777) so Boeingfixer.

Well.

You didn't mention me either...:stickout:

Hey Po, what's the Poertner? Your name?

If anyone has played Final Fantasy VII, the theme song, A One Winged Angel, has the line "estuans interius ira vehementi" in it, translated to "burning inside with violent anger" from Latin...
It is kind of lame, I know, but it's the only thing I could think of.

Wow SNGX, I really had no idea...cool!!

My name means, "A stack of hay or other material for the purpose of coverage from the weather"..

Hence the term, "Rickety" I suppose...

I have to say though, Rick is actually my name, so the actual definition has little bearing on my name.

My name is derived from a little amount of thinking but i found it humurous so it stuck...

Pretty Hot And Tempting MAN and with aol i once had 2020, because 2000 was taken, i had 3001 since 3000 was taken, and then i decided on 5050 like half and half. The name is now PHATMAN5050, NOT to be confused with PHATman. lol to all of those that remember that LITTLE fiasco.

Two reasons: It's my favourite character from my favourite Sci-Fi show

That, and the fact that I have too much in common with the character made it the "ideal" choice for me...

Toby > Tobes > Bobes

Toby is a German name, not sure what it means (if anything).

Hmmm...very interesting Mictlantecuhti. I thought I had heard a name similar to that one before. Now I know where it comes from.

Oh yeah, and sorry about forgetting you Vehementi, but thanks for posting because you do have a very unique name also.

I have always been Phantasm.

Tshirt, this brilliant name I came up with when I won a tshirt online (another site) and they wanted a "nick" to post.
But I kind of like it, as it represent my casual/ irreverent additude on message boards.
This is my downtime:wave:
