[BIO-AQUA]

I wanted to ask you a question from a long time ago, but forgot about it. WHAT DOES YOUR NAME REPRESENT/MEAN? (Meaning, in case it's not your real name/first name, why did you choose it?).

I guess I'll start. It was a really random decision when I had to register to TSR, but I really love the name. BIO (as in biology, my favorite subject; and biological, as in completely pure and innocent) and AQUA (as in water, the power of water; and a word that I really love), so it's kind of the best of both worlds . Merge both words together, and it adds up to "Biological Water; a completely pure water which everyone needs to survive..."

P.S If you google search my name, you get some company for water treatment and filtering, kind of ironic, isn't it?!

[Bandev]

Well mine is a random assortment of vowels and consanants which make a word. I don't know how to pronounce it but i say ban-DEV

[Caitlin]

Ummm, well my username is my actual name. And I was named after Dylan Thomas' wife. Yeah... that's my story.

[Aboo]

Well mine is Chairman and then my actual name (all in initials). My dad gave me that when I was 4 so I've kept it ever since.

Meh can't find it at TSR. Anyway, HMSChocolate.

I was totally obsessed with HP about a few years ago (2003-2004). I mean obsessed. It wore off after spending too much time on it for my EE.

Anyway, in the HP online fandom, there's this phenonmenon known as shipping. Ship = relationship. It basically is supporting 2 characters getting together for a relationship. In the fandom, each ship has a name (or actually, more than one). I shipped Harry/Ginny which had numerous names over the years but my favourite name for it was the Chocolate ship or - HMSChocolate. The name came from the "Chocolate-in-the-library" scene in Order of Phoenix which, before Prince came out, was one of the cutest H/G scenes you can get.

So I started using that name for HP forums, and then it stuck with me.

Nice, I was wondering what HP meant but then it struck me lol.

[Afterglow]

Oh my username was something that took me ages to decide because it's my TSR username. Everything I wanted there was taken and so I wanted a nice word and after a lot of thinking and looking around, I saw my album of Sarah McLachlan - Afterglow and woila, it was mine

[Enter Sandman]

Haha yes, Harry Potter ships...they used to be a biggie in the forums I went to as well. Some of my crazier internet friends continue to ship Lupin/Sirius, Harry/Malfoy,, James/Snape, Dobby/Gollum - you name it they have it.

Turning to something less disturbing, "Enter Sandman" is a song by Metallica, it happens to be one of my favourites. onyl started using it for forums recently - I have generally used screennames with "Jamz" or "J-Man" in the title in the past, since my name is Jay but I thought of changing the tradition for TSR so Enter Sandman came up instead...I use it for msn as well.

Hah!

Sometimes I think your ambition is to take over the world.

I feel like changing my username...

Sandman: I haven't heard of Dobby/Gollum yet!! But DeadDraco/Myrtle is a good ship. Oh and Harry/GiantSquid always crack me up. Don't ask, guys.

[Ruan Chun Xian]

Of course I knew. I was just refering to something he said to me once.

[~Lc~]

No, but I can change it for you if you want. Just PM me (or Lc, or Deus, but since I'm offering... ).

From Nahuatl (the language the Aztec spoke)

Ollin -- in movement

Tonatiuh -- Sun.
Sun in movement

But the Sun doesn't move! Well except for the constant expansion of the universe....
I like it though its very apocalyptic/cool/nice imagery!
