The Mothman 05-23-2007 07:29 AM

The meaning behind your Screen name
 
thought this would be a good idea. something fun to do. whta does oyur screen name mean?
mine's rather obvious. The Mothman Prophecies used to creep me out hardcore, plus i have always thought it was a pretty interesting myth/legend or whatever you should call it.

mordrid 05-23-2007 07:32 AM

Mine is because of my love for Arthurian legend and a major joint the night I made the screen name. I meant to use Mordred, but Mordrid was what I used instead. Have had it for 10 years or so now.

if you cant figure mine out then bless ya.........i love evil dead, simple as

Papillon Noir 05-23-2007 08:05 AM

"Papillon Noir" is french for "Black Butterfly".

I had been using "Noir" (it's dark and mysterious :p), but when I went to register here, it had already been taken (though I don't know by whom :rolleyes:). I had also had just come back from a trip to Niagara Falls and we went to the Butterfly Conservatory there. It was absolutely amazing, you walk into this greenhouse and all these exotic butterflies (some larger than your hand) just flutter around you. Anyway, on the way out they have what the word "butterfly" is in 20 different languages, so I thought it just fit. :)

jenna26 05-23-2007 08:14 AM

Jenna is a character in one of my short stories, one I wrote years ago, when I was about 15 or 16. It was the first thing that popped in my head when I was registering here. And I was 26 at the time, very original huh? :rolleyes:

toXsick 05-23-2007 08:22 AM

I'm from New Jersey. That should explain it. ;)

The funky spelling just made it more obnoxious, which I found funny at the time, and the cap "X" is because I was trying to be even more clever, if that is even possible. I guess it makes it X-tra nasty. :D

the_real_linda 05-23-2007 08:22 AM

actually it is.....well its not horror related anywhos....or is it?

"I go by many names"-xander (btvs)

i used to go by one of the characters in one of my high school scripts....since she was partly based on me anyways

Mictlantechutli 05-23-2007 08:23 AM

Mictlantechutli is the Aztec Lord of the Realm of Death whose feast day was co-opted by the Catholic Church and has become Dia de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead (All Soul's Day)

Always been fascinated with Aztec and Mayan myth, particularly the ritual human sacrifice. And what's not to love about the people who introduced chocolate and chiles to the world?

Dante'sInferno 05-23-2007 08:28 AM

From the book.

Shadow 05-23-2007 09:12 AM

*shrugs* I'm not sure but I think the name fits my personality.

Shazbut 05-23-2007 09:20 AM

Mine's rather contradictory and boring! It was a spur of the moment thing - having always used a paganistic and/or sci-fi name (hence my avatar) in newsgroups and other forums, I wanted something different.

For some reason, Robin William's (of "Mork and Mindy" fame (goodness me, *that* was so long ago!!)) catchphrase "shazbot"sprang into my head, I changed the *o* to a *u* and that was it!

Mind you, "nanoo, nanoo" was probably more his catchphrase - but I am not getting in a tither about it LOL

SHAZBUT! <-- contradictory because the name doesnt quite fit my avatar - but it fits my personality because I am zany and quite insane! :D

I LOVE the film - The Mothman Prophecies. It spooked me, especially when the ending all came together and totally unexpectedly too.

I wanted to chat to people about the Mothman myth for weeks after but no-one seemed interested because they couldnt get their heads round the possibility that *guardian's* from other realms/dimensions could attempt to forewarn us of impending disasters.

How sad to interpret something trying to help as a thing to fear..... oh, I could go on and on about it!!! :p

Wensday13 05-23-2007 09:44 AM

I really like Frankentein Drag Queens from planet 13.











And so should all of you :D

ferretchucker 05-23-2007 11:18 AM

mine's rather unfortunate. I was once looking for a pet...a ferret. I always liked them. I was holding one when it bit me. Well, my arms jolted forward and it jumped out of me. Hey presto! My friends said I threw it. When it came to it, they decided ferretchucker was better than ferretthrower. I use it for most online things and have even made a small buisness at school (I buy gum and sell it for a bit more to those people desperate for it at school) called ferretchucorp.

Dante'sInferno 05-23-2007 11:21 AM

Well I'm certainly not like a hedgehog I think we have established I'm more of a crab lol. And I cant mind the Gladiators, if Shadow was female and hot then sure I'm just like that lol.
I was thinking more like Shadow, Dark, hidden, in the background, mysterious even lol.
Ok fine after the bloody hedgehog lol.

the_real_linda 05-23-2007 12:58 PM

RedAngel77 05-23-2007 01:33 PM

Meaning of my name,

RedAngel77:

Well I obviously like the color red and blood, and horror movies in general. I guess I kind of thought it sounded like a bloody angel.. more of a demon in my mind. I thought it was really cool at the time and it kind of stuck.

deathrider 05-24-2007 03:26 AM

My name is pretty straight forward, Deathrider is a song by Anthrax. Anthrax are my favourite metal band so it kinda seemed fitting.

Disease 05-24-2007 06:20 AM

I started one of these threads about 7 or 8 months ago, and got shouted down because it had been done to much, so I pass the torch mothman.... if you want to know about mine then you can look up my thread!

hammerfan 05-24-2007 07:06 AM
