      Well, i have been around for a couple of months in the site, and i have been seeing nice nicknames and i was wandering what do they mean.So, i decided to ask you guys; what does your nickname mean?
      Mine comes from Dama dama Mesopotamica, from a persian deer lol.Don't ask me, i heard about it in an academic lecture and i was like wtf, it's like a eurovision song name!I really liked it and thought it could be a nickname, and have had a lot since i first started joining in forums.
      So, what's yours? Tell us!

        I like number 2, when I was sign up to the site, didn't think much, put number "2" but the system rejected it, at least 4 characters, so I made four "2s".

        That's my story.

          I'm into urban japanese culture and hip hop music.

          So Domosuke
          度もすけ

          [Do-Mus-Kay] or [Domo-Suki] (either one is fine), basically means "Very degreed" or "One of a kind" . As I consider myself as a gay african man that has no ties or bearings to asian culture lol, very unique and special.

          It's  one of many names I use on the web.

            Interesting thread!
            My own origin sequence comes from Irish history and folklore.
            Brian Boru was a High King of Ireland who I did some research on in college, and also became one of my first characters on Diablo 2.
            7 was my jersey number from high school soccer, and 2 is my lucky number.

            Add them all together and you have brianboru72

            Tell someone you love them today, because life is short.
            But shout it at them in German, because life is also terrifying and confusing.

              Famousbovine, eh?
              I find cows funny. The 'famous' part is my attempt at sounding glamorous (didn't work, obviously).  ;D
              If I could change my nickname, however, I would like a name from Greek mythology. Particularly those who were punished like Sisyphus, Ixion, or Arachne. I am so edgy.  :crazy:

                well gaypraha2 is self explanatory : Praha is Prague from Czech republic and 2 means Praha 2 , Vinohrady  ( like Paris, Prague has numbers ) a good place to live ( I did some years)  coz very close to gay bars / clubs 🙂  and "Gay" I used that as the site is "gay torrent".

                    poltergeist
                    last edited by

                    Eh… it's because I have a fondness of something cryptic, enigmatic and unknown, and poltergeist is one of those. Sure, people may consider it as a disturbance and undoubtedly, it is scary to see things flying off themselves.

                    Also, I refer myself as Poltergeist since... most people I know, my friends especially, think that I often suddenly come out of nowhere. They would be likely busy or focused or talked to each other and oddly enough, when I get close to them no one would seem to notice and when I finally say something or call them, they would be effectively startled. Even when they don't really do anything in particular they seem to surprised when they notice that I've been there with them for quite a while. Often surprised, even if I just recently entered the room. Do I have startling appearance or something?

                    I do enjoy it some times. Once I saw my friends walking along in the hallway at campus and then I silently snuck up and tagged along with them from behind but closely for some time and they oddly did not even notice. Or they did but they just didn't care. Either way, when they didn't notice me for some time, I asked them honestly and naively; "so where are we going?" All of them suddenly turned heads and visibly surprised because they didn't realize I was with them. One of them even asked "God! since when have you been with us?" Really, how could possibly one can be with a group of his or her friends without them noticing for quite a while?

                    Other times I would just idly lounging about inside the classroom and spotted my friend from the window walking by and then when they near the door, I would suddenly barge out of the class right before them. Often, their expression are priceless. It's evil, but... ;D

                    But really, it seems like my friends are easily spooked, even if I don't intend to shock them in any way... My two best friends however, find my tendency to suddenly appear around them is not anything new. They're already used to it ;D

                      I think Ixion would have been a really cool forum name!  😄

                        My friends and family call me Tinci sometimes, sometimes Tinca. It all comes from Tina. 01 because in my email I have tinci01 so I have it here as well. Actually everywhere I log it's the same for me. Except for facebook where it's my full name and surname. But then on facebook I made myself many registrations because you can then send yourself gifts in those games that I see now as totally silly and stupid. Not so much games as I see myself stupid for going crazy so much that I needed to made more usernames. I ony play best fiends now, thank god. Don't even have that much time anymore as uploading here takes a lot of time and finding all those videos from request posts  😄

                          I just thought the name was funny in a crass and ridiculous sort of way. It's also fair to say, though, that I am probably disproportionately aroused by male ejaculation.

                                          Mine is taken from a character in a book (His Dark Materials series a.k.a. The Golden Compass) - there were some really great names in that series, but Stanislaus Grumman was my favourite - along with Serafina Pekkala. I always keep an ear out for interesting words and names - mainly when reading.
