aztecan, ademas, MSPspud, emeraldize, etc. - Your screen name means....?

[allopathicholistic]

Some names are self-explanatory e.g. jeffreyj, sweetasmelia, livingpositively, etc. - Others are a bit more, um, cryptic? I was just wondering if anyone cared to explain why they chose their screen name. Thanks 

[ademas]

I chose además as my moniker at another forum years ago...I can't remember exactly why...but I keep using it.  I like the word.

It's spanish for "besides" or "in addition" or "furthermore".

[alisenjafi]

Hey allo-  aren't you going to tell?

[Quarter Horse]

I grew up riding in saddle clubs, quarter horses are the main type I have always ridden. I also ride morgans, a much larger breed.

[allopathicholistic]

first iggy this here's for you


okay holistic usually means yoga, meditation, nutrition, acupuncture, "eastern"

allopathic usually means hospitals, vaccinations, HAART, CAT scans, EKGs, sonograms, chemotherapy, "western"

i combined the two for my name because i see the merits of both. there are also grey areas. an example would be infusion therapy which is both holistic and allopathic

[Life]

I have a confession.. My birth given name is "Cows".  Given the stigma and confusion, I changed it to "Eric" in an effort to conform and not be a target of cheap ass lamo slogans.  Although I do miss being mounted from time to time...

Alex reminded me of the young boys who where constantly playing jokes on "Tipping me over" when I slept...  That was the last "STRAW!"

[swede_dish]

Swede_Dish is just a play on Swedish. Haha simple.

Lotusintheconcrete  (my former name) : I have a lotus tattoo on my back and it's a peaceful symbol. I lived in a fairly urban area at the time I came up with the handle so it just kind of fit.

[aztecan]

Mine is simple enough.

I live in Aztec, therefore I am an Aztecan, although, even though I have resided here nearly 18 years, I am not yet considered a native.

HUGS,

[southernfun]

Dont get nasty minded...Im from the south and Im fun..Im either going horse back riding,boating,fishing,hiking,camping....Camping with a friend in the south only leads to midnight skinny dipping....Theres plenty to do in the south and its better with a Southerner...lol.... ...So I southern and fun....What can I say

[MSPspud]

My first nickname ever revolved around potatohead  because of the spelling of my last name.  When I started emailing Stuart's family with funny articles and stuff like that, his sisters started calling me Jason Potato.  I thought it was kind of cute, so I guess this name is just reinforcement. 

My previous name on the old forums was UofMurbs which combined the school I was attending with the abbreviations of my undergraduate major - Urban Studies.  I figured I was getting a little old for that name 

[Moffie65]

Moffie65

Years ago, a friend of mine from  South Africa named me "Moffie", which in Afrikans means "Little Faggot".  It is usually a negative word and is used as dirisivly as "Faggot" or "Queer" is used in this country.  I don't mind, and have named some of my cars this name also.  Rinaldo never meant it as negative and used it as a "cute" term.

The "65" ...  Simple also, it is the year I graduated from High School.

In Love.

[Lou-ah-vull]

My screenname is the "preferred" way of pronouncing the town where I come from--Louisville.  Some want to say "loo-ee-ville" or worse "lou-is-ville" but locals here insist the correct way is to say "lou-ah-vull."
