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

Thanks. I like my last name as well

Like a lot of immigrants, my German ancestors shortened their last name when they came to America. Not sure what the original name was, but I was led to believe it began with Krau.

..how bout 'iwannashagblondesimon'

For my own nickname, as you guys know thats where our beloved band originated.
At the first stage, i thought i wanna pick some flamboyant nick but after all i couldn't think of any.

So I'm thinking it is good to pick some simple and The Cure related nick. Then when i remember reading The Cure wikipedia, SUSSEX just pop up in my mind. Then i just love the nick!

But somehow here in my country, not many people take the name as a name of a place but in an instance they usually lead the name to such pornography thing,just because the word 'sex'. What a mind setting!

p/s : David, this is really a great threat!

Oh Sussex, I agree! :eek:

People can be so crass* sometimes (for instance, laughing everytime they hear the words "teabag", "lubricant", or answer every question with: "Your mom!")...

I dig your nickname, it's short and sweet! "Sussex", never once thought of it as being provocative. People should really learn their geography!

Is it not pronounced "Su-six?" That surely would avoid further confusion...

*Crass is also an awesome punk rock band. Just thought I'd mention.

Haha..you're right CV. People should learn more bout their Geography. Actually i love when people think pro actively about my nickname. What I know is that, it is something to do with The Cure! :!:

gioez · February 12, 2008, 11:01:18

My nick originates from a strange manner of speaking the initials of my complete name... JDS... it sounds like "JAYDS" or "JAIZ", and then "JOEZ" (in italian we write "gioez". Well, this nick was created by my school-friends, isn't my idea!

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.

You know... I love "Robiola" cheese!

Well, thank goodness. I'd hate to be known as "the woman who goes by the name of that
revolting cheese". Now I can just be "the fool who named herself after a cheese", it's much better. :roll:

I'm not a cheese person, so I never would have known you were named for a type of cheese...

I always assumed it was like "Rob" for Robert Smith and "iola" for something else...never really thought of it. I think you all have great names, unlike some names I've seen on other forums like "Pink&^%*IS(((MY###FAVORITE!!!~@$COLOR(#(#"
with all those internet lingo symbols thrown in there (I'm of this new internet generation and I still do not understand it!)

Roberta is a nice name, don't be shy!

melly · February 15, 2008, 09:51:58

melly..well, obviously it hasn't got any "Cure" connotations, but it's my real nick name, all our friends call me melly,and their kids. My partner started calling me this many years ago, from the word "melee", you know, a small fracas, a bit if a rumble happenin'.... he would tell you it comes from smelly, which isn't very nice, is it?!

haha... kind of carries on from when I was a teenager, being tall with long legs, my Dad used to call me Nol...Noise On Legs....
so, nothing exoctic or secretive, just melly...and it sounds odd when people call me by my real name, Heather!!

psichonaut · February 16, 2008, 00:40:23

my nickname came out when i submitted my membership in Heartland....i was thinking about something like "argonaut", as the ancient greek-sailors and i got lightened by one of my favourite Nephilim songs....PSYCHONAUT....i only was wrong writing it...psichonaut....and from that era my nick on every site is this

joqua · February 18, 2008, 04:25:52

Joqua is what my dad used to call me when i was younger.
