What does your username mean?

[iam4u2nv]

I have been here for a while I have to say that I have seen some very strange usernames on here. What does your handle mean and how to you come about getting it.

Mine is iam4u2nv which is I am for you to envy.
This go back to my old school days of chat rooms acting tough. I have always used it.
I first used blackcatz cuz I raised cats but too many guys hit on me. I switched to tazMANia which a million people used so I picked this.

Well tell me about yours because I have seen some on here that have me scratching my head in wonder.

Pronunciation: 'rä-j&r

My mother gave it to me.

 

[RossMAN]

High school nickname.

 

[Scarpozzi]

Mine is one that I made up in 1993 because my name had already been taken on Dalnet so I had to think of one. I just kept using it because not many names have 2 consecutive z's in them. Does anyone know what I mean when I say "dalnet"? (just checking...it's an easy one)

 

[alareau]

alareau, the first letter of my first name, combined with my last name. grr someone had just taken lareau...

 

[metallibloke]

Metallibloke - When I chose this i was a huge metallica fan, and they used to refer to stuff with 'metalli' in front of it (like, metalli-can, metalli-erm...er....., you get the idea!) and i wanted something referring to heavy metal music which i love. So i chose metalliman originally, but then i thought this didnt sound quite right, plus on some sites it had already been taken. I decided i ought to have something in there to represent my nationality (british), and as english slang for man is 'bloke', i used bloke on the end, hence Metallibloke.

 

[jjones]

In Swahili my nick means "jjones".

 

[stev0]

[Nemesis77]

77 = The years of my birth

Nemesis = Got it from "Nemesis the Warlock". What does "Nemesis" mean?

NEMESIS was the goddess of indignation and retribution for evil deeds or undeserved good fortune. She was a personification of the resentment aroused in men, -and in the gods-, by other men who commited crimes with apparent impunity, or who had inordinate good fortune. Her name means 'she who distributes or deals out'.

Nemesis directed human affairs in such a way as to maintain equilibrium. Happiness and unhappiness were measured out by her, care being taken that happiness was not too frequent or too excessive. If this happened, Nemesis could bring about losses and suffering. As one who checked extravagant favours by Tykhe (Fortune), Nemesis was regarded as an avenging or punishing divinity
