my nick is boring "drowning man" one of my fav. cure songs off all time.

Let's see...my name is Jeff.  J id the first letter of my name.  Actually, J was my nickname that my high school hockey team gave me, and it stuck through college.  I got lucky in that respect.  Hockey players have this rather stupid way of nicknaming everyone, usually by adding y to the end.  Keith Jones= Jonesy.  SO I guess J is better than Jeffy.

Dime wouldn't let me use J as my username, so I used natas43.  Satan spelled backwards (and also a skateboarder from back in the day- Natas Kaupas- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natas_Kaupas ).  And 43 was my hockey number my entire career.

Tof

Janko

Fatter than Bob, balder than Porl, as sober as Simon, as amusing as Jason

Hero

Hero is a character from Shakespeare's 'Much Ado About Nothing' which i'm studying at school and i was doing homework when i registered :?
I usually go for Lufus which has seemed to have replaced my real name but i felt like a change.

robiola

Ha ha, JB!  :-D
From now on I shall call you the howling woman, I love it. Or maybe howler, for short

silversand

I think japanesebaby is a nice nickname :)

Okay, it's obvious where i got my nickname from :)
It's from the song Before Three, because i love the line: ... "But winter moon
and silver sand, this perfect night in another land ...".
The only difference is that it's written in one word.

Hey drowning - I don't think your nickname is boring at all and your reasons behind it certainly aren't boring!!  I actually considered "something-beginning-with-s" but feared it was a little long....

No offense Pita, but my grandfather used to call me that when I was younger.  When I was about 12, I finally asked him why.  He explained what pita stands for: Pain In The Ass.

Thanks for bringing back fond memories of a great man in my youth!! :smth023

crowbi_wan

Several years ago on Compuserve, AOL, and a few other networks I used to sign off with goofy names that incorporated my last name.  A few favorites...The Pilsbury Crowboy, Shaquielle Cro'Neil, The Marlborcrow Man, Crowhammed Ali, and Crowbi-wan Kenobi.  Crowbi-wan just stuck when I opened an e-mail account on Yahoo some time ago.  People have been calling me Crowbi for years now.  And actually, it sort of makes sense.  Take my last name, Crow, and add the first letter of my first name, B, and there you go  ;)     

Carnage Visor

i am called Carnage Visor because:

1. I love the word CARNAGE...makes me think of corpses and destruction.
2. I love the 30 minute song by The Cure with the same name. It really moves me, and I think it's mysterious and lull enough to kind of numb the mind and make you daydream. Put it on in the room, it's just kind of there, you know? It's the theme song to my depression, my thoughts, my dreams. And it has no words, but still speaks to me.

I decided it sounded like a catchy name, one people could remember, contains no symbols or numbers, and displays well on a forum.

I love your last name, crowbi-wan. Crow is an awesome last name! :smth020
