Your name!

[kinvoya]

Mine is from Kinsella which is my last name and voyager because I like to travel - even if it's only in Cantr right now. I constructed it so I never need to add numbers or anything because it's always available.

[Antichrist_Online]

Antichrist Online has been my username for forums for a while. It started as a parody of AOL.

[Sunni Daez]

No particular reason why I picked the one I did.....I just did...

[SekoETC]

LOL @ page 3.
LOL @ page 1.

Yes, I tend to read topics from the end to the beginning.

I was so sure I had posted but maybe there was some other topic like this then. Anyway, Seko is the other one of my first Cantr characters created with the account. I'm so sure I have explained this somewhere, many times! Anyways, basically it means Loonie. It's slang or young language, derived from words that basically mean mixed up. ETC is et cetera, not to neglect all my other characters, and it's capitalized because otherwise there would have be a space in between and it would look silly.

Wondering why my nick ain't Maline... since I came up with her the first. But the foundation of that name is pretty silly: At first it was "maalinen" - stained in paint. At first I cut the other a because English words don't have double a's. And Malinen happened to be that surname of one of my teachers so I didn't want that either. Snip another letter, there we go! Ain't that pretty?

So now you know. Nutcase and an artist, that's the core of Me.

[Jetlag]

The short version is that I'm always one step out of synch with the rest of reality. The long version involved getting up stupidly early to go to another country for breakfast, though it isn't worht repeating beyond that.

I've been Jetlag for many years now, though there's someone else out there somewhere who also uses it, so often I resort to adding my real name and being JetlagJen.

[formerly known as hf]

back when the internet was young (well... not [i]that[/i] young - but young enough that emails such as 'you@whateveryoulike.com' were free and easily available...) my e-mail address was hallucinatingfarmer@thesheeporgyonthemoon.com

now, I no longer have that address - but kept the first part...

[Stan]

Totally made it up before I realized that Cantr really doesn't send spam and sell my name to junk email companies.

Now since I'm linked to Fritter, I could never give my real name for fear of being locked up and silently, without remorse, killed for my crowbar and iron shield.

[SekoETC]

I always connect your name to that song by Eminem. With that mixed up guy who killed himself and his pregnant wife... ok I know you're not like that for real but.. sometimes wondering how can people playing killers sleep at night.

[Stan]

Because it isn't real...it's a game.

You would be very surprised at my real life situation...nothing like Fritter...except that I do have a crowbar somewhere in my trunk.

[mikki]

Oh great... Now I don't know how I am going to sleep tonight...

[Junesun]

As for Junesun... I used this name when I first came into contact with the internet, when I was visiting an internet cafe with some friends. I had to think of a creative nickname quickly and I came up with Junesun because I was born in June. Later I found that this name is unique, I have never found it taken so I use it on almost all of the chat systems, IRC, e-mail and the like.

Some people think that it sounds Asian, probably because it's florid or because the -sun sounds just like the Japanese polite form -san at the end of a name. But it's not. I personally don't have any link to Asia and I made up this name before I started taking an interest in China and Chinese.

When I became interested in Chinese, I researched what 'Junesun' would be in Chinese, whether I could improve my name. It was disappointing: the Chinese count months, e. g. January would literally translate to "1st month". "Sun of the 6th month"(liuyue de ri in Chinese) doesn't sound as nice as "Junesun". And Japanese does the same.

I am Colonel Saunders reborn baby!

[mikki]

Mine isn't anything special.. Mikki is what I was called in High school.. (hint my middle name is Michelle)

It's just a game... I wouldn't consider it immoral to kill a character. To kill someone, is different.

[mortaine]

"Mortaine" comes from a co-ed naked role-playing game in a hot tub.

Yes, I live in *that* kind of town.

Anyway, I use it everywhere online, and almost no one else does. Chances are, if you run into a mortaine online, it's me.

I like it because if you noodle it out enough, it translates into "the little death."

If you know your Renaissance literature, you know why that's nifty.
