Where did you get your name from

nanook

Simple question, where did you get your name from ?

I have seen some unusual names on here, eiretimacha (sorry about the spelling), takola etc and i thought where did you get the idea from.

I have to set a rule here, sorry about this, and here it is


No rudeness in the explination of your name, this is a family forum

muffler i am dying to see you get around this one.


I will start the ball rolling, Nanook is the name of my pooch. People think it comes from a book "Nanook of the North" but it came from a film and i just loved the name.

eiretamicha

I have been very slowly creating a language for many years now. It's a work in progress, and it will probably never be finished. I'm a writer, when I have the time and motivation, and this language is to be the tongue of the people of Selcia, a race of people who live in the otherworld.

Eire means Earth. Micha means kiss. Ta implies ownership, but not in the same sense as the english language. Eiretamicha means Earth's Kiss.

thats impressive stuff!

Now that IS impressive! :eek:

My brother gave me the nickname when i was younger. Have no idea why and never had a chance to ask him why. I've since found out its the name of a place. Maybe he was implying i should go live there and stop annoying him! Subtle as ever! :rolleyes:

I was going to make that my user name but it was already taken as were a lot of variations of it. It seems it was a popular name for Leitrim members

Seriously though I will tell how the name muffler came about but there's not much to tell. I was doing the crossword just before I registered and after trying a couple of common user names that were already taken I seen muffler wrote as a clue in the crossword and I just went for it.

I know that will come as a bit of a disappointment to my army of female fans but there you have it

Middle name?????????? What are its other names. Cant wait to find

her whole name (it's an AKC thing, you register your dog with the oddest name possible, as there's probably a million dogs called Fluffy, Rocky, etc) is made up of some very silly stuff. Her whole name is Peetle Littlepaws O' Poohheart, as she was so small when we got her we called her "Beetle puppy, beetle puppy" then slipped verbally into 'Peetle puppy, Peetle puppy" and it stuck, as she did seem pretty Peetlish. teh middle name ought to be obvious, she was only about 2 pounds and a couple ounces when I got her, and the last name is from my ex's native language, Urdu, he said one day while looking at her in total adoration," Oh she is the pooh of my heart!" (This is the same guy who wanted a wolf-hybrid for a dog, or a rottweiler.) In His language, pooh is 'kiss'. The O part is because I love Ireland. So the name stuck, no other dog could have that combination of names and she got registered. Oh yeah, she's a small little five pound , seven year old Maltese that will kick you ass if you make fun of her name. Don't think she won't, the last person that did got a sockful of padlocks upside the ankle.

smallpaws

Oh google is fcuking funny; I ran Peetle through it and there is a drink named for her, evidently.

Who knew, lol,my baby dog likes to drink..a "Lady Peetle".



Jesus, I have way too much time on my hands today...her photo also comes up as well as atiny image of a painting I did of her. Sh*t, my website with her on it is nowhere on the first page...dang.

Fitzo

Quite simple and boring, as it is my nickname, but on other sites i have diff names.

stepbar

a mix of my name and my brothers, once upon a time we shared an email address (back in the day ) and I kept the name.

deman

I've been using Deman for some years now but it all started when I first started playing online games such as Fall of Nations, Imperium Rising and Torn City. Originally I was using d_mac to indicate my first initial and as I'm a Mc, I used mac. It evolved through time to become deman with the stress on the second syllable, sounding like "the man". And as I was always a Ric Flair (wrestler) fan, he always was "the man" and "to be deman, you gotta beat deman" which was my motto in the online games.

Hope I didn't bore you

Culchie
