What is the meaning of your nimckname?

[Killing jOe]

I wonder if you guys have already done this, but anyway there are a couple of new people here.
Anyways, my nick is from the band Killing Joke, british new wave.

Please, do share...

 

[1by4by9]

"One by four by nine" is mentioned in the lyrics of Starchild by Star One (based on the book/movie "2001: A Space Odyssey")

 

[J-Dubya 777]

Simply my initials. When I first joined TEoF, there were already a couple Johns, and somebody (Probably Matthew, the previous list Daddy), called me J-Dubya, J-Dub, and it stuck. I don't go by much else online, except for the Freak Kitchen & Caparison forums where I'm just plain ol' John W

J-Dubya

 

[DoomsdayZach]

until recently i worked for a site called doomsday music. and my name is zach.

 

[HackerX]

Back in early high school, quite possibly in a computer class (It was a long time ago) some whispered (at the top of their voice mind you):
"Jesus Ben you're such a f*&king hacker" in reference to something I'd done (no idea, but playing quake in class comes to mind).

Adding X was cool at the time (SymphonyX anyone?).

Needless to say, it got us all in shit at the time, and has stuck since (9+ years now)

 

[Progbass]

Hmmm, I play bass and prog is my favourite music style.

 

[progmetaldan]

ummm, my nickname used to be danthemanthemetalfan, because my name is dan and I am a metal fan... Makes sense eh, but it's pretty long, so I chose progmetalpilgrim because I love progmetal and I'm currently writing a concept album based on 'A Pilgrim's Progress' by John Bunyan... It's a classic piece of literature, it is based on the journey of life by a man named Christian, and is amazingly epic in his quest to reach the holy city of Zion... Anyways, I'm on a journey with my life, as well as with my aspirations with progmetal, so I thought the name worked...

Pretty thoughtful huh... danthemanthemetalfan was far simpler...

 

[Killing jOe]

^Right on!

 

[progmetaldan]

Thanks man, good idea for the thread, we should get some interesting responses and discussion I reckon...

 

[AutumnGust]

Well I choose mine because for some reason I love Autumn. Gust is just there to add some flair and distinction, or something.

 

[Tubbs]

My name's always been Tubbs Mcgee... well, my nickname at least.

I asked for it when I was a wee lad so I would convince myself to lose weight at 13 years old and it's stayed since.

The weight has stayed too.

 

[Beelzebub]

Beelzebub is the name of the prince of demons, and has come up in a few books I've read so I just chose it because I like it.

 

[Wander]

I don't know where my name really comes from... Cause I wander all around the forums maybe? Just something I made up when entering.

 

[SyXified]

Cool thread idea!

SyX is obviously a reference to Symphony X
-ified is a reference to scarified by Racer X, which makes the X relevant to both bands.

At the time I came up with it I was trying to find some way of overlapping Symphony X and Racer X, my two fav bands, and this is what the result was. Tho some have mistakenly understood it as Sex-ified, or even something involving crucifixion.

 

[Eternal Dragon]

Mine goes deeper than the cheese it seems like. I love dragons, and imo they are only made cheezy by cheezy ppl. Anywho, an eternal dragon is like a dragon that is immortal (as if they arent powerful enough as they are), and so in my mind i can see some sorta dragon with a blue haze around it (pic) that is completely indestructable and allmighty. And that is me .

 

[TuoDrable]

well, I'll be the first with an absolute underivable nickname? Except the fact that the honor wasn't mine to invent it.

 

[the_satanic_rabbit]

Named after a king diamond character I drew and envisioned.

 

[PoisonSeed]

mine's the title of a Lethal album...

 

[ABQShredHead]

I live in Albuquerque and I'm stuck on '80's neo-classical shred. I thought I'd identify myself to where I live, but it turns out there are only like 20 SymX fans here. Or at least that was about the turn-out at their show on the Odyssey tour... But, that was probably more on shitty promotion of the show.

 

[Horus]

Great Ptah Khnemu
Sacred Priest of the temple of Ra
and the Keeper of truth.
