[Etoile]

Personally, I don't have a problem with this thread being here. I know I don't go onto the GB hardly at all, and I consider the people here more my community than I do the larger Lit (GB) community.

Copied from a page called Becoming Etoile on my site:

I first started my time online with the decidedly unglamorous handle of BFXT07B. This was from the original Prodigy service (launched by Sears and IBM in 1987), which didn't allow users to pick their own names. Around 1990 or so, Prodigy made the stupid move of charging per e-mail, and sometime before 1991, my mother switched us from Prodigy to GEnie, which was another online provider - this time owned by General Electric (the capitalization in the name is intentional). At GEnie, you could choose your own name, and my mother helped me pick STAR. (An interesting side note: I remember celebrating my tenth birthday online with my GEnie friends - double digits!) Eventually my mother switched to an actual ISP, and I didn't have my own account for a few years. In late 1995, I discovered MOO Français decided to sign up for a character. Remembering the name I'd most recently used online, I translated it to Etoile - the MOO software didn't support accents at the time (though it now does). Ever since then that's the name I've used for online forums, chats, and so forth. Occasionally I'll use my real name (Meredith) if most people seem to be using their real name in that community, or I'll use woofiegrrl (an early nickname my girlfriend gave me) if I find Etoile is already taken - it doesn't happen often, and sometimes it's because I've already signed up at that site! I don't even try for Star anymore, I assume it's always taken by the time I find the forum. One final name I might use online is bunz, because my girlfriend sometimes calls me bunzimus cutimus and very often calls me Bunz - it's her pet name for me. The vast majority of the time, though, I am Etoile.

Deezire 1-900-

I could just see myself sitting at home eating chips talking sexy all day to hot girls....mmmmmmmm.

 

[killallhippies]

killallhippies is the name of a stupid song. i chose it because i felt like being silly. also, making fun of hippies used to be a favorite pass time even though i have several hippie tendencies. it's just the punk in me trying to get out.


word.

 

[Pookie]

"Pookie" is a nickname my dad gave me when I was a baby. It's generally a term of endearment that means "darling" and "sweetheart."

Other meanings of "pookie" that I've been told or discovered ...

- A girl from the UK with brains, but no sense.
- A wee sized toot (fartette)
- Garfield's teddy bear
- A common name for someone in the hood
- Filipino word for vagina

 

[Cigan]

Cigan. Hmmm. It's actually a reference to a creature created by an art friend of mine to personify my personality traits. It was a mixture of a reptile and a panther. Sort of a sphinx like creature in that it had the panther legs, but it had a reptilian body, and a somewhat unique bone structure. For some reason even though I was always described with black panther fur she never drew Cigana that way. Always with yellow lion fur. I sorta thought that was odd. But still it's close to all the other descriptions we came up with.

[Zergplex]

Zergplex Says

God it's been a long time since I had to think about the origin of my name. It started a long time ago on a webserver far far away.... when I first bought my computer (after 4 years of freakin' saving. If I only had that drive nowadays ^_^) we set ourselves up with AOL. I tried using all my normal names, but everything was taken from Sailor Comet to Time Lord. Finally I gave up and just chose something nearby (the Starcraft computer game) and took the word Zerg and then hit four random letters on the keyboard and ended up with my current title Zergplex. Been using it for over 6 years now, the names become as much apart of my identity as my real name (I am known by it both online and in real life with my computer friends).

Which means if you ever see another Zergplex online it's either me or someone I shall hunt down for stealing my name. Let the hunt begin!

^_^

So cool.

 

[alli_cat]

Hmm, I used to get picked on in school, called the (highly intelligent) nicknames of 'Alley Cat' or 'Fat Albert'. Such a delightful period of one's life Anyway, I've lost a lot of weight since then, so I could only justifiably reclaim the first name *grin*. And now quite a few of my friends are calling me that in RL, I think it's kinda cute.

 

[Lady Christabel]

Lady Christabel is the title character in Samuel Taylor Coleridge's poem "Christabel". I tried a few other names, but they were taken. At the time I registered, I was editing my daughter's freshman thesis on Coleridge. I tried Lady Christabel and it was accepted.

Me too, actually - c'mon, Q!

 

[MzChrista]

I guess when I was born I reminded my parents of baby Jesus

 

[sigh]

I was born on my cousin's 21st birthday (mine is a large family, all spread out in ages) and he was very close to my mother, being near to her in age and having lived close to her as they were growing up. I arrived in a hospital in Ottawa, Illinois and at the time my cousin was attending college at SIU in Carbondale, roughly a six hour drive south. When word of my imminent arrival came to Rico, he left his own birthday celebration and hopped into his old car and came north, arriving about half an hour before I did. Aside from my mom and dad he was the first first family member to see me, and the tale goes that as he held me in his arms he asked me what my name was.

I responded with a sigh, and the rest, as they say, is history.

 

[Queersetti]

It is a play on my actual surname, which ends in -setti.

 

[girls on top]

ooooh i've wondered that a few times myself

 

[College_geek]

Mine's self-explanatory, so I'll just comment on everyone's cool Lit names. I always liked the names Queersetti and Etoile. They sound so regal...I don't know why. And Pookie...that's just cute. Everyone else has cool original names except for me. I'm so unoriginal.

 

[Luna_Wolf72]

apet4you....

well at the time, I was involved with a Dominant Person...(Obviously everybody..I am the lil switch that could...)

Since they were also on-line, they gave me this particular handle for this site. Most of my handles have the words pet or wolf/wulf so it did not bother me either way...

(case in point...some old aol SN's:

wickedwolfgirl, lilwulf, ApetWolf..i am sure ya'll see the point).

Only problem i have now is that my name no longer fits me...as I don't feel very *pettish* these days.

later
pet

Lady Christabel is the title character in Samuel Taylor Coleridge's poem "Christabel". I tried a few other names, but they were taken. At the time I registered, I was editing my daughter's freshman thesis on Coleridge. I tried Lady Christabel and it was accepted.

Beneath the lamp the lady bowed,
And slowly rolled her eyes around ;
Then drawing in her breath aloud,
Like one that shuddered, she unbound
The cincture from beneath her breast :
Her silken robe, and inner vest,
Dropt to her feet, and full in view,
Behold ! her bosom, and half her side-- --
A sight to dream of, not to tell !
O shield her ! shield sweet Christabel !

Yet Geraldine nor speaks nor stirs ;
Ah ! what a stricken look was hers !
Deep from within she seems half-way
To lift some weight with sick assay,
And eyes the maid and seeks delay ;
Then suddenly as one defied
Collects herself in scorn and pride,
And lay down by the Maiden's side !--
And in her arms the maid she took,


It's a lovely poem. There's an eroticism that's always wrapped just beneath the surface of Coleridge's words. To read him is to be mesmerized.
