What does your screenname mean? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Assasin · 01-27-2005, 03:39 PM

mine means someone who kills people for a price basically. I tried to use lots of other names, but they were all taken, so I just decided, why not? All my friends say that my name sounds like a boy, but I'm not, I'm a girl. I've mostly only seen girls here, though.

*looks around* Nope, still plenty of XY's here. Being female, I actually tend to assume that other members are female unless their names or manner of talking blatantly tells me otherwise. So maybe I see where you're coming from!

(From where you are coming? Bah. Must not end sentences in prepositions. Bad Enca.)

'Fraid mine's not terribly Rings related, except in my own little mind.
Garen Le Lorian was a sixteenth century French knight, famous for saying "Had I one foot in paradise, I would withdraw it to fight a rightous battle" I liked that. Once I got here, the similarity to Lothlorien entered my mind, so now he's a whole character used for RPG such as this one

Sophia the Thunder Mistress was a random name given to me by a friend in a fit of silliness. I approved of it and it stuck. Now I seem to be Sophia everywhere (or Sophe, Sophs, Sophedreams...). Not that I mind. I fancy her as a helper of Manwe's (I considered "Maia of Manwe" for a pt), even though her name's not in the right language.

My real life name is Sara, a name that far too many of us share. It means princess and could probably be best translated "Arwen"

I've also seen it translated "Aredhel", which is slightly better, though I'm not an elf.

Sophia

Or aranel, if you want to go old school and make it Quenya.

<-- I just find that face amusing.

Cool.

My screen-name is the Sindarin equivelant of my Christian name. Now see if you can figure out what it is.

My screenname is rather nerdy, really. It's actually a word from my own constructed language - the nominative singular of the word for moon (pronounced EYE-thee-lace, with the th as in 'thick', not as in 'the'). I chose it simply because it's pretty (in my humble opinion!).

aelithes · 01-28-2005, 05:17 PM

Neurion, is your real name Jacob (meaning 'supplanter' or 'successor')??

Well, you can just ignore the title in bold ... Anyway, If you are brushed up on your ancient egyptian culture and religion you will know what "Ka" means. If you know this, you can understand why i put "THE" in bold

I was wondering if you were doing the Egyptian thing THE Ka, and I like saying your name in posts, THE Ka. Hehe, it's like The Cheat.
Ku, Ku, Ku!

My given name is Shannon. Feel special my fellow posters I don't reveal it to just any internet soul. It's the biggest River in Ireland and it means "Old One". My parents probably didn't know this, but I like it.

Ainaserkewen (Eye-Na-Serk-a-wen) from the name generator, means Maiden of the Holy Blood. I've always like the idea of being a kind of Merovingian when it came to heritage. I'm not, but I like to think I am.
