One of my first screennames was BUG....
It was nicked from a car licence plate in Ibiza and it kinda stuck, when I play Arcade games and other games it comes up.... Carnevil acade game that was in an arcade in King's Cross years ago, the top 10 high scores was all BUG so if you were in King's Cross and saw that name..... Yep that was MEO!!!!!!!
As to this name???? KADRAN was a fictional character which I created.... that went around fighting crime and vampires and the rest....
Sadly i wrote a book and the contents were stored on a pc and I lost the lot
But hey it happens!!!!!! Maybe some day he will come back

KADRAN00157

I live in st. louis mo so a bigfan of the st.louis Cardinals baseball team and 13 is my lucky number

My name here "Mister E." came from when I worked at a kindergarten and the children had a rough time with my first name and as my last name starts with E, I became "Mister E." (and no it is not ED..... darn talking horse).

I took Raven because it sounds like one of the X-Men, although the special power escapes me.

I've noticed that there is a stillraven, but I think that has to do with the TV series.

And here I thought it was because you were a mystery.

Don't you mean the Teen Titans?

I don't remember why I chose Redemption....

"What's going to happen to chesspieceface?
There go I, but for my face.
All I know could be replaced by the facts of the life of chess...piece...face"

Anyboy recognize that?

Sorry, never heard of them.

Now if you'd said Power Rangers, Ninja Turtles, or even Tella Tubbies I could relate.

"Starchild" represents 2 things for me...

1. My love for V, in which the character of Elizabeth is known as the Star Child.

2. Another love of mine is KISS, in which Paul Stanley is also known as the Star Child.

Mmmm...

Redemption, I am still a mystery "Mister E". Just wanted to know if anyone was reading about me. Are you redemption because you want to be redeemed??? How much would I get to Redeem you, and where would I redeem you ???

lol... Actually, I may have chosen it as it sounded very western and I was collecting the Wild Wild West season 1 set. I think my first avatar on this site was the poker game one.

You got it, MikeFitz.
Nice to know there's at least one other card collector who knows of TMBG. About 10 years back, when we started selling on Ebay, we wanted to reference another of their songs with the name "Mr. Me", but somebody already had that one, so we used our second choice, "Chesspieceface".

Every so often, somebody would catch it and let us know. Good times.

Anyway, this is a great thread that I hope lots more people chime in on. I've always wondered about the reasons behind many of the fourm names.

this is such a fun thread! i have often wondered what everyone's names meant.

so, my name is actually anjee. how boring is that?

Actually, I think it's a really cute way to spell it.

aww shucks redemption. you's makin' me blush.

seriously though, there is a reason for it. i had 7 angelas in my grade growing up. so when i was a freshman in high school i sat down and wrote down a bunch of ways to spell angie and that's the one i liked. so ever since i have spelled it that way.

lol... good for you for expressing your own individuality.

And at least you didn't have a teacher in grade school that kept failing you because she insisted that you were spelling your own name wrong liek I did. My older sister had to go with my legal papers to prove her wrong, but I still remember the other kids laughing at me for getting my name wrong.

Oh dear, that sounds like the stuff of repressed childhood trauma.

Not to mention a pretty lousy teacher.
