What is the meaning behind your username?

Maelstrom.

It has nothing to do with WoW, which I have never played.

Maelstrom is a marvel villain.

Which is also why I use the epitaph The Cosmic Assassin.

[Rev. Rye]

Rev.- I am a minister in the Universal Life Church. It's basically an organisation that ordains people for free regardless of actual beliefs. Just fill out a form on ulc.net, and, depending on the state, you can potentially legally marry people. Of course, for $20, you can get a doctorate, like Hunter S. Thompson did, but I never needed to.

Rye- My favourite novel is "The Catcher in the Rye."

[Minimalist]

Many years ago at Archaeologica.org while I was still scoping it out I noted a particularly nutty jesus freak. A total literal fundie right down to Adam and fucking Eve and the globe covering flood. Deciding then and there to make myself his personal tormenter I chose the name Minimalist to honor the school of thought of professors, Lemche, Davies, Whitlam and Thompson - even though I don't agree with all of their ideas - and made him my special project. Shortly thereafter I created Oy Veder as my Jewish sock puppet to double-team him.

Eventually he got banned and things were fairly boring for a while until one day I got a PM at Jesusneverexisted.com with an invitation from an old pal to join a board called Kokobridge based in South Korea because they had a fundie there who needed an ass-kicking. Sure enough. It was the same guy and he was less than happy to see me...although he greeted Oy Veder warmly enough as Oy is always unfailingly polite.

Unlike me.

Eventually he got banned from there, too.

By then, "Minimalist" had kind of grown on me so I kept it.

[Something completely different]

You should run for your life!















Actualy it is a stupid joke about what is usualy "The British are coming".

[Foxaèr]

I might as well add the name I started with on this site.

It was Mr. Infidel.

I chose that for two reasons.

First, I was famously known as the Infidel Riot on the MySpace religious forums before the site decided to forgo with the forums.

Secondly, the term Mr was a rather convoluted term in an old forum on Bolt. It denoted those were above the petty ignorance of those with lesser intelligence.

[Fruity]

Ivy

My name is Ivania. Friends and clients call me Ivy for short. Plus, I have a crush on Poison Ivy.


Former user name was jrsm_10. When I started here and was asked for a user name, I thought it was more like a login. Just a bunch of letters and a number. The ten is for Chipper Jones (player #10) from the Braves (baseball team from Atlanta).

Former user name was jrsm_10.

I recognize it.

[Walking Void]

Rather than a lengthy background it has multiple small backgrounds. As per computers, void is somewhat of an attribute. If a method is void, it is supposed to return nothing.

As per science, a void is empty space. Or presumably empty space.

Walking Void is also my triumph over my childhood. It is cold, but at least I made it out alive.

[FallentoReason]

I originally started as a Christian apologist on AF.com with the username "ReasonToFollow". By now, you've probably realised I'm not a Christian. So to represent how my world was flipped upside down, I took ReasonToFollow (RTF) and flipped it into FTR and found words to fit that acronym which described my transition.

I've always been fascinated by symbolism in ancient religions, so that was the motivating factor as to why I was so "cryptic" about my new username.

[Kayenneh]

When me and my sister were kids, we used a nickname, Kajenn, when we played video games together. (My actual name is Kajsa and hers is Jenny.) I twisted it a bit further and it became Kayenneh.
