I know we have had a thread about why we all chose our member name, but does anyone beside sad old me sit there and ponder why people decided on their handle, and wonder if your guess was even close?

Random examples that I have seen recently [and I do not mean to cause offense, just have a high level of curiosity]:

GingerV - Is her name Ginger Victorsomething, or does she have red hair?

chittylove - a passion for Herbie, love bugs or old movies?

Black snake - no need to wonder :D

p_p_man - golden showers?

Gusty wind?
Delicious Blonde?

GingerV.. don't know why ginger-vitus comes to mind ( I know, wrong spelling LOL)

Lord DragonsWing.... why only the one wing?

Svenskaflicka... this one intrigues me. I understand the Svenska bit... why the flicka?

Good thread wishful :)
 
actually, i get asked this question alot. vella isnt a descriptive nick.

so here goes:
about ten years ago i started reading a scifi series by john norman.. aka.. 'snorin norman' .. i dont know what possessed me to read the enitre series when i fell into a deep coma at about book number 3, but i perservered.

the main female in the first few books was a slave girl named vella. what a total bitch. i fell in love with her right away and online, i claimed her nick..

so, for the past ten-ish years, vella has been my nick name and people in r/l have called me this as well.. its stuck, go figuah!

Anyone that knows me, knows me as melanie,, well Melanie before I took my sub role.

I've been melanie from day one.

Melanie was a name I used in Bali. I went there every year for years.... shit.. about 8 years straight.

I loved the way they said it. Say melanie in an asian accent.... it cracked me up!!! I've kept it. It's still my chat name.

I chose doormouse because melanie got hounded by too many lizards. With this one, they're not sure if I'm a girl or a guy :D

I'm still melanie on every other site.

Delicious Blonde said:
...nutritious AND delicious! Good and good for ya. Actually, the blonde is real and there was a local band with the name once upon a time. I just thought it was neat.

I wonder what else wishful is thinking...[/url]

Busted! :D Hi DB!

Vella and Lime - but have you ever looked at another name and got a picture in your head? Eg. thors hammer - big penis?

Door - what's gingervitus? My mind was in the gutter, and I was thinking ginger triangle :eek:
 
LOL

It's a gum disease...

mind out of the gutter!! You're cramping me LOL

:p
 
I'm Marsipanne because my birth month is March, the patron of which is Mars, god of war. The ipan came quite naturally after Mars, and I feminised. I wanted to balance the masculinity of Mars with something feminine so I added 'ne' at the end. But, Marsipanne is actually just marzipan in French too.
 
rgraham is close to my real name. I prefer to be myself even in cyberspace.

The 666 is partly because I'm a born heretic. And partly in the hope of having some paranoid fundamentalist's head explode.
 
Wicked-N-Erotic came a few years ago when the hubby and I were posting pics on a free pic site. He was "Wicked" and I was "Erotic" and as to have only one sign in name that we could share easily we got, Wicked-N-Erotic


Although since we stopped posting pics and he no longer uses the handle for anything, I use the "wicked" part for myself.



Wicked:kiss:
 
My Mistress named me one afternoon when my nose was between her sweet cheeks. It was as if I had never known my true name before.

The names that crack me up are the ones that seem to be mis-spelled. Was the correct spelling already taken? Or do people get drunk and join?

:rose:
 
Mine comes from the name of my publishing and game company ... which name in turn comes from a character in my first book.

Matriarch.
Self-explanatory.

The following is taken from the writings of Evelena Rose. 'Reclaiming the Matriarch'
Love Journey-the healing path of Tantra for Women


The matriarch is the woman who has raised her children and completed her obligations as an active parent, or, she may be one who has devoted her 30s and 40s to establishing her career and now reaches mid-life ready to step into her power. One therapist calls this the "Dangerous Woman" because she is likely to set aside all that stands in the way of her post-menopausal zest for life, and put herself first. She may leave off caretaking others as she carves out a place to create what she wants.

Women in their 50s and 60s who assert their right to be important, who want their needs to matter and their work to be meaningful may leave the nest they've built with such devotion, or shift from that successful, yet stifling, career, to find themselves. Many take off on travels they always wanted to undertake, others begin entrepreneurial adventures that express their inner nature, still others finally validate their right to become that artist they always wanted to be. Women may change their appearance, shuck societal constraints, and step boldly forward to work on causes they feel compelled to embrace.

I believe the matriarchs of this world are a force to be reckoned with, a power to be unharnessed and respected. They show us what a sovereign self can achieve when one is operating from internal guidance and the beat of one's own drummer. When a woman validates her right to gain her sovereignty, she unleashes amazing potential to create what has never existed before -- her unique gift and expression, gleaned from all her life experience to date.

In ancient Egypt, during the matrilineal period when people lived more in concert with natural rhythms, this period was considered the height of one's life. Childhood and adolescence was seen to extend to age 28 during which time one focused on being a student. Young adulthood ran to age 56 and was a time for apprenticing and interning with masters. Only during the 3rd 28 year cycle, from 56 to 84, did one establish oneself in one's true life expression and work. The 28 years from 84 to 112 and beyond were the Crone time, time to be an elder and give back, teaching the young.

We instead try to make young people determine their life's work while still in the hormonal changes of becoming an adult, and manifest their whole career or family by mid-life. Our society then acts as if all that life experience is useless simply because the person is "aging" just as they are entering what could be their most productive and effective years. Go figure.

So we need to add a rite of passage for this shift during the hormonal changes of "middlescence" that menopause represents. The hot flashes are often now fondly called power surges as we recognize they are nature's way of bringing our creative energy up into the higher chakras and the brain. I believe this is Goddessàs design to prepare women for this creative surge of bursting forth as an individual with a world to change, each in our own small, or large, way. We deserve to be recognized for the power we've worked so hard to build. Once this active phase of our life is complete, we'll be satisfied and gratified to enter the true crone years, the late 80s, 90s and beyond. Hopefully our communities will develop meaningful rites of passage for this transition as well.

I would love to see Matriarch added to the pantheon of possibilities for women. When I began hot flashes, my apprentices at the time called me a "Baby Crone" and wanted to honor my passage into cronehood. But I felt too young, too unformed as a proper wisewoman, and it felt too soon. Since meeting Louise Hay in her 60s and witnessing Elizabeth Kubler Ross actively teaching into her 80s, I have long felt that I, too, wil reach my peak and produce my best work during those years. Looks like that's where I'm headed -- and I want to feel that that peaking is valid and accepted as normal. Then I will enjoy the couple of decades that follow, as the Crone who truly has much to give back to the generations to come. Blessed Be.

In my opinion, I believe I have more than earned the right to use the word as my title.

Mat :heart:
 
I've always used Sarah on every site I've joined.

The first stories I submitted here were in the BDSM category, so adding a subbie aspect to the name seemed to be appropriate.

Sarah was already taken on Lit, and so was sarahh and sweetsarah and sweetsarahh (and for some reason I wasn't interested in being sarahhh - LOL).

So it became sweetsubsarahh.

WHICH has confused a few people, as they mistakenly assume I'm a sweet, compliant, wilting little flower.



Fools.

:D

Good thread wishful :)

I believe Svenska flicka means Swedish girl.

I'm part Swede and have a T-shirt with that on it, anyway! :)
 
Mine is easy enough. I'm a pagan and a switch. For those who don't know, a switch in BDSM circles is a person who can be either a submissive or dominant at diferent times.
 
I have been Boota since fifth grade. Back then it was Buddha, because I was about as round as I was tall. The name stuck and now most people know me as Boota. Some of my closest friends don't know my real name. When my novel first came out a friend of mine checked it out and said, "You're real name is Scott!?!"

Apparently, I don't look like a Scott. :)
 
I consider myself the Keeper of Dreams. Morpheus was the greek god of dreams. He could manipulate everything in someones dreams, he was also the Keeper of Nightmares, and in ancient times he tortured an evil king with nightmares until the man was to afraid to fall sleep. That is what I wish to do someday! :D My name is brought on by my insightfulness and kindness, along with knoledge of the dream world. Much like Morpheus. Well, that's why I chose my name. http://graphics.gaiaonline.com/forum/images/smiles/icon_3nodding.gif

Abstruse: it is cryptic and enigmatic. I knew it was a word few people knew, thus it would reveal little about my identity.

I like being a puzzle, a mystery and having a my Abstruse facade. It suits me.

If I were to do it all over I would be BettySue Fitzenhiemersling.
 
Mine I'd change if starting over. I chose it thinking the blatant hubris would draw readers. Instead it draws trolls.
