Blackberry Cat , if one wishes to remain an individual in the midst of the teeming multitudes, one must make oneself grotesque Posted Oct 3, 2004
when I joined my name was psuedo (short for psuedonym, psuedo-intellectual or psuedopod, you takes your choice ) but that same day I was collared by Cat-Eyes and bullied into joining the Feline Mercenary Army

Tactitus:- a temporal incursion will restore the Cremin Emporiam to galactic dominance once more! Posted Oct 3, 2004
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!

clzoomer- a bit woobly Posted Jun 6, 2005
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...

Tavaron da Quirm - Arts Editor Posted Jun 6, 2005
Tavaron is elvish (Quenia, if anybody cares) and means "woodland sprite" (tavar= wood, onna=creature).

Orange A (formerly known as DunlopVolley) Posted Jun 6, 2005
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...
