Tangle 10-03-2011 10:53 PM

well-
 
I originally chose 'tanglelips' for two reasons. 1: b/c I, in 1999, listened often to the Dave Matthews Band, and they had a line in a song which i thought was very sexy: "tangled tongues and lips." 2: Additionally, a wonderful fairytale book I read as a little girl called -The Golden Key- had a protagonist named Tangle, whose long hair wasn't brushed regularly enough. Well I have very long golden hair just like she, and it can get plenty tangled when I don't brush it very regularly. I always identified with her name.

I am well aware that my name makes me sound a little slutty and juvenile, and I considered making a new name when I registered here, but I felt a little weird, as though I would be ditching one identity/past for another, and I didn't want to feel like i'd be perceived as sneaky. I wish I'd ditched the 'lips' now though, and just gone with Tangle. *laugh*

Alas.

PumaJ 10-03-2011 11:44 PM

An ex of mine who was Two-Spirit, once told me I was as fierce as a Cougar protecting her young. Henceforth, she nicknamed me Pumawoman & sometimes called me PumaJ. A few years later when I finally got online, I decided to use those nicknames as screen names.

Bard 10-04-2011 04:18 AM

I really got into the show but I truly watched it just to see her. Short, blond hair and butch to boot, mmmmmm. :awww:

My other screen name on a couple of online games is Kara Thrace, which is the character Starbuck's given name. Starbuck was the name of the airplane she flew so all the crew called her Starbuck. BFP Starbuck and I share the love for that TV series as well as for Katee Sackoff!

Since I can't drop Georgia from my name, ( I asked) maybe I will change it to Kara Thrace...but I feel like an Anya.

Venus007 10-04-2011 06:04 AM

I read a novel by Anais Nin called "Spy in the House of Love" and thus my screen name was born 007 for spy and Venus for love.

I believed that I never had trouble accepting myself as a woman. I always felt my sensibilities lay with women. However, there was a sort of disconnect when it came to identifying with society’s definition, as well as a sense of invisibility because I could never see myself reflected in other women. Then I found butch and that felt right. The masculine male thing was a bit of a struggle, because despite a real gender incongruence in my presentation in the eyes of others, I had never really felt like I was male. I looked it. At least there was always a good deal of gender confusion from the world in general regarding if I was male or female. But I never was confused. But I do find comfort in my masculinity, it fits like my old black t-shirt. But I am never comfortable with it. I hold it suspect and watch it like it was a cranky old dog prone to biting. In the spirit of this very tiresome way I have of looking at my masculinity I thought it would be great fun to give myself a feminine name this time around. Miss Tick is a very minor character in a couple of Terry Pratchett novels. I liked that it was a kind of oronym. So I decided to try it out.

I’m having such a hard time with it. When I see it beside my words I cringe. It’s beyond being uncomfortable with it. I pretty much hate it. But I’m going to keep it. At least until the fear and loathing of a too feminine name passes or it just gets too much to look at. I am pretty surprised at myself. I didn’t think it would be this hard. But it is. It's so hard that I sometimes feel detached from my own words once they are out there authored by this Miss Tick person. I wonder what that says about me. I think it needs a touch of masculine to make it more palatable. I keep telling myself that tick is kind of male. But really what the hell does that even mean? How can a word be male? I think I'm losing it. Maybe I should just give in and change it.

My name is Gin, but the group I kind of hang out with here has 3 "Jen"s and it got really confusing so I shortened mine to just G.....and when I introduce myself I always say, "Hi, I'm G." Then they look at me and tilt their head like a puppy and I reply: "Just G". They nod and we are good to go!

Not so fancy shmancy!! :sunglass:

justkim 10-04-2011 07:35 AM

To me it seems simple... I have been asked more than a few times if my real name is Kimberly and I reply with NO it is JUST Kim... and like G I get the head tilt and reply with "really, it is just kim... not kimberly not kimmie, just kim...

My real name is Jo...and everyone always seems to want to add something to it...calling me Joan, Joanne, etc.

Most of the time I end up introducing myself as Jo...Just Jo. :rrose:

Maybe you should take typo as a second language. I have and things are much easier. I can even understand my own posts now. Haha

*Anya* 10-04-2011 08:13 AM

Let it be known, that henceforth, Anya/Georgia will now be known by the double-asterisk name:

*Anya*

Thanks to PrincessBelle for thinking out of the box (that I was unable to do) and thanks to tech guru Linus for the change!

Let's not forget Dapper, who started the whole thing!

PS: just call me,

I love the Inspector Alleyn Mysteries - UK TV was showing them in the early 90s when I was here studying. I have them on DVD, lol!

Random 10-04-2011 09:47 AM

Random is short for Randomnumbers

randomnumbers is a young cat in a book... He was named so because of the extremely changeable behavior that adolesent cats can have.

Random was my nickname in my twenties, because of my lighting train of though changes.... Lol.. Circular logic, linar logic... nope... Mine was A, B 7, %, Z... The result were the same as other people, just my process to get there was different....

I left the nickname behind and went back to my birth name when I left Atlanta... but used randomnumbers as my email.

I thought I left it behind... lol... I met and fell in love with a woman who hated my birthname... She called me Random....

Fast forward eight years later... we break up, I try to go back to my given name... (Hence the short lived Ms Cyn) but the problem is.. when I self talk, I name myself Random.. People call my Cyn or Cynthia, but I'm still Random..

Intrigued by screen names

I thought it would be fun to have a place to explain why you picked the one(s) you did and if it is meaningful to you in someway.

I'll go first....

I was SouthernBelle for many years because, well i am southern. I used this name for around 10 years on yahoo and in yahoo chat rooms. When i found the dash site, a few years ago, that name was already taken. I was at a loss. My dad always called me his princess so i just picked that and combined it with belle because most people called me belle anyway and still do.

Ok....now your turn....

:)

My S/N ~~~ Is simple.~~ I have been Intrigued by another and also Intriguing to someone.
