Shea - Thanks for the lovely write-up. I take it that although I got your personality right-ish, I failed miserably on your name? Oh, well, at least I tried. Thanks for the chocolate though!
If anyone wanted to try on my name, I posted my details a few days ago, and Shimoda did a pretty good attempt on the first paragraph. But I reproduce the second and third nyms here, since no one has yet picked up on them! Happy analysing!

I also go by the nym Jaguarette, elsewhere, and my email username is Jaguar/jaguar (where possible) or variations upon that theme (I've used [email protected] in preference to a number-suffix).
Only one username, Elitan, has been inspired by a role-playing game, but my subconscious keeps nominating other El- names... what does this mean?

What can you get from my name?
Frankie Roberto Posted Jun 5, 2001
My internet name has universally been "Frankie Roberto" for a long time. Is there any possible analysis you can give it?
I did post an explanation of how I chose the name to H2G2 once, but you'd be hard pressed to find it...

Because you have been persistent I will do this but don't blame me if I am wildly wrong or uncomfortably acurate.
The giveaways here are the VB Martin and Code Master.
Clearly Male (MO) probably around 19. Difficult subject but probably cross lateral perhaps even dyslexic and as such didn't get the opportunities that others did but benefited from a free PC. Interested in Computer Studies but didn't bother to go to University. Program for a small local firm producing fun things in VB? Lacks the conviction to finish jobs. Martin is a pleasant name so perhaps mother is caring or Nurse and father also a medic (Doctor Martin Owens)?. MadMartin sounds like Animal from the Muppets so I guess you could be a drummer for a local band. Lived near Liverpool most your life if I am not mistaken (Widnes Sorry I checked.)
Clearly have read SciFi and has the entire collection of DS9 at home on VHS. Saving up for a DVD but already owns a Fiat something or other.

Ommigosh
Loggy
Simpsy Goloff
Axe
Wossname
and if I had a company it would be called Fifth Horizon.
OK I am gonna stop now...
Proper Ganda (Keeper of torn maps) Posted Jun 6, 2001
I am a bit concerned about the re-percussions of this Digital Palm Reading. You see I just make it up. If you guess the Age and Sex the rest is just statistics.

What??

I'd say that intuition and guessing is a large part of all this, Ganda. Plus you actually based most of your stuff on the usernames, as far as I could tell. In any case, the usernames must have influenced you in some way, and when you thought you were making things up, you were actually performing some amazing subconscious analysis. Kinda like when you catch a ball.

Martin Harper Posted Jun 6, 2001
You know your pseudo-science has gone mainstream when someone tries to debunk it...
Don't listen to iaoth - I have special powers which let me cross the oceans and deduce people's personalities from afar. Only instead of using this talent to get repeatedly laid, I analyse usernames on h2g2...
OK I am gonna stop now...
Blatherskite the Mugwump - Bandwidth Bandit Posted Jun 6, 2001
There's a whole lot more to it than that, Ganda. If you took it a bit more seriously, you'd probably come up with more meaningful and accurate analyses.
It is all intuitive... you just read a name, and let your mind come up with associations. The more associations, the more detail you can guess. And it's so much easier with multiple names, because that will obviously increase the number of impressions.
And that's why there are a few still around that haven't be done that I hadn't taken a shot at... trgz just doesn't set anything off in my mind. And as for Solnushka, I'm afraid I've already had too many conversations on H2G2 with you and learned too much about you to do a fair reading.
OK I am gonna stop now...
Sol Posted Jun 7, 2001
That's ok. Though now I'm worried about what my postings say about me...
OK I am gonna stop now...
Proper Ganda (Keeper of torn maps) Posted Jun 7, 2001
Back in post 128 of this thread I tried to be more subtle but I guess that doesn't work here in h2g2. I think it would not be an analysis of names but a judgement of your comments. But for comedy value.
Solnushka:
Solnushka=Sun Beams or something like this I think.

iaoth Posted Jun 7, 2001
Hm, I must've missed post 128. No, wait, I remember reading it, but I couldn't figure out who "he" was in reference to. I thought ~you~ had guessed something and that I'd missed one of your earlier posts.
