What Does Your Username Mean?

[Bini]

Bini is basically short for "Binibini" meaning lady in Tagalog, which, is one of the many dialects of the Philippines :]

And yours?

[Celica]

Mine is my favorite car. Toyota Celica

[Guest Godless]

Mine is about breaking stigmas. Godless is not a bad word and it shouldn't have the negative connotation that it is frequently given.

[Jenamarie]

It's my name.

Mine is what I do...my calling.

I've come across a couple meanings for the name Maureen - star of the sea and sea of bitterness. :)

[not_ashamed]

Mine is because im not ashamed of the gospel. Im am also not ashamed of my life choices be they good or bad. Every choice I have made in life has brought me to be the person I am now.

[LDSVALLEY]

I am a Latter-day Saint and live in a Valley

[unixknight]

unix 'cause that was the Operating System I learned to become a programmer on, and knight because one of my ancestors was a Knight of the Order of St. James under King Alfonso of Spain.

[Threeve]

Threeve-

A combination of the numbers Three and Five.

Popularized by the ever-hilarious SNL skit Celebrity Jeopardy, Threeve was the answer given to the final Celebrity Jeopardy category, "Just write a number. Any number. Any number and you win. We'll accept any number. Any number at all. A one, or a two, or a three... or how 'bout a four? It's that simple, I know you can do this."

French Stuart, played by Jimmy Fallon responded with Threeve.

His wager? $Texas, Or as Alex Trebek (Will Ferrel) put it:

"Let's start with French Stuart, who's grinning like an idiot -- you look pretty sure of yourself -- think you've got the right answer. Well, all you had to do was write down a number, and you wrote... ThreEve. A combination of three and five. Simply stunning. And you wagered... Texas, with a dollar sign in front of it. I'm speechless. "

[Tarnished]

My name came from a poem that I wrote around the time I joined the forum. It was how I felt about myself at the time. I don't feel quite so tarnished now, but I don't want to change it as I want to remind myself of what happened in the past.

As for its literal definition:

tar·nish (tärnsh)

v. tar·nished, tar·nish·ing, tar·nish·es

v.tr.

1. To dull the luster of; discolor, especially by exposure to air or dirt.

2.

a. To detract from or spoil; taint: a tragedy that tarnished our hopes.

b. To cast aspersions on; sully: slander that tarnished the senator's image.

v.intr.

1. To lose luster; become discolored.

2. To diminish or become tainted.

n.

1. The condition of being tarnished.

2. Discoloration of a metal surface caused by corrosion or oxidation.

3. The condition of being sullied or tainted.

[Bini]

Very interesting everyone! Thanks for sharing!

[beefche]

"beef" is part of my last name and "che" (pronounced chay) is a Bulgarian diminutive (means "pertaining to or productive of a form denoting smallness, familiarity, affection, or triviality"). So, beefche means "little, darling beef"--quite descriptive, right?

[Mahone]

Hmmm. I was into prison break at the time of signing up to this forum, and Alexander Mahone is my favourite character.

[Dravin]

Tis a name I made up for a character on a MUD once upon a time, I liked it so I've stuck with it.

[Moksha]

Moksha is either the sound you make when you sneeze or else some plain of existence close to Heaven and Nirvana, where you have been freed of the endless cycle of rebirth, and are thus being able to rejoin with the cosmic unity. The Mok is pronounced like the sound in smoke and the sha is pronounced like shaw.

[talisyn]

Talisyn is a derivative of a nickname of my favorite character, Jamethiel, of the God Stalk books. I always felt a special affinity toward her, especially when she tries to do what's right but somehow ends up burning down cities. It's also the name of my character in FFXI. I picked it instead of Jamethiel because I can never remember how to spell it

[dazed-and-confused]

I have recieved many blessings, but it seems the more answers I get, the more questions I have.

For those that think that I an dazed-and-confused by this.....perhaps you aren't looking deeply enough.....or..perhaps I am simply...dazed-and-confused.
