Blackberry Cat , if one wishes to remain an individual in the midst of the teeming multitudes, one must make oneself grotesque

when I joined my name was psuedo (short for psuedonym, psuedo-intellectual or psuedopod, you takes your choice smiley - winkeye) but that same day I was collared by Cat-Eyes and bullied into joining the Feline Mercenary Army smiley - winkeye
I felt I should change my name to something feline and after a brief sojourn as psuedo-cat chose Blackberry Cat because they are supposed to be unlucky (for others) and evil, and since then I've grown to like it smiley - biggrin

Tactitus:- a temporal incursion will restore the Cremin Emporiam to galactic dominance once more!

I named after a Roman commentator, I'm trying to read his Annals of Imperial Rome. It's quite gossipy and gives you a real feel, if thats at all piossible, for ancient Rome, my favourite time in history. Any road up I think his name sound wonderful on the lips!

Watermusic

It was my original CB (pre-licensing) handle.

'What's your handle?'
'Watermusic' (as opposed to 'The Messiah' or 'The Royal Fireworks' by Handel)

and it shortens to WM - which are my first name initials.

RFJS__ - trying to write an unreadable book, finding proofreading tricky

Back when video games let one enter a name only a few characters long, I tended to enter my initials; hence I got used to having computer screens refer to me as 'RFJS'.

Some people are so desperate to make my name vaguely interesting that they alter the number of underscores; consequently the name comes in three known flavours (RFJS, RFJS_, RFJS__), not countng misspellings and changing taglines.

clzoomer- a bit woobly

Footbacon, I was certain that with a name like that you were male instead of the rather obviously cute-abulous female you appear to be in your photo. Don't ask me why except that foot shaped bacon or a bacon shaped foot seemed less...comely...smiley - rofl

Tavaron is elvish (Quenia, if anybody cares) and means "woodland sprite" (tavar= wood, onna=creature). I took this name because a) I'm a Tolkien fan, b) it's not as stupid and obvious as calling yourself something like Arwen or Galadriel or something and c) when I came here I felt like some odd creature which visits a big city for the first timesmiley - bigeyes

Orange A (formerly known as DunlopVolley)

My name is DunlopVolley because I looked around the room, and chanced to see one of my pairs of Dunlop Volley shoes, when searching for a name. That's it , no meaning, nothing interesting. Oh well...
