What means your nickname? Why did choose it?

dsanchez · February 08, 2008, 06:15:32

I have been always curious about. In my case, my name is David SÃ¡nchez, and I have an email from University with dsanchez@...so that's the reason. Very creative, eh

What about yours?

Mine comes from the band: Belle And Sebastian

Their first album is called tigermilk and it's a wonderful record.

Plus, I like cats and milk, so it's the perfect name for me!

mine is from the german band lacrimosa... one of my favourites!!

scatcat · February 08, 2008, 11:31:42

mine comes from the Disney's animated movie 'The Aristocats'... one of the coolest cats was called "scatcat", who had a band of swinging jazz cats in the alley..

A motor racing buddy of mine started calling me "sues" when I started racing and I have many fond memories of my time racing....and the 777? Well, as the Pixies say, "if the devil is 6, then God is 7..." - I just like the number 7..

Well, it's just my name actually

However, on many other sites, including the heartland forum I have to register as Pista because Steve is usually taken (dead common name huh?).

Pista (pronounced Pishta)is the Hungarian equivalent of Steve.
I even on dime have to modify that to pistabacsi (pronounced pishta bachi) which effectively means uncle steve.

I don't like using my real name (Roberta), especially because I hate how people pronounced it when I lived in the States (Row-burr-dah, sounds a little like someone barfing), and I remembered that when I was a child my mom affectionally called me Robiola or Robiolina when we were joking around.
Only many years after my mom stopped calling me that did I find out that robiola is also a kind of soft cheese not unlike cream cheese.... But I was already fond of the nickname, so.... So I've named my curefans persona after a cheese apparently? Never actually thought of it that way. That's just plain embarrassing.

I was called a freak, once, for liking The Cure.

well, mine is boringly stolen from a certain song you might all know.
although at the time i picked it, i was very close to becoming 'the howling woman' at first. because i sort of thought that might describe me a lot better than some exotic babe-thing.

of course the cure folks always get my name - but a bit embarrassingly, some non-cure people seem to think it's something soft-porn related or some lolita thing or something... :roll:
uuuh maybe i should have become the howling one so there would be no damn confusion! :twisted:

sorry about the cheese thing, obviously not the coolest discovery ever - but you made me laugh

I think the meaning of my name is selfexplanitory.

Why did I choose it?? Um, it was created years ago in MSN Cure Chat. Me and some girls were just goofing off making up names. I thought of mine and one of them dared me to register it at MSN. It was accepted and I though it was a slutty name but, it did let everyone know, without doubt, who my favorite member is.
