why your user name on dxp is the one you have now?

This topic was created in the Miscellaneous forum by xxixxi on Friday, January 10, 2014 and has 41 replies.
Just curious...
As for mine.. I don't know lol I don't even know how to pronounce it...xxixxi...hmmmm (???_???)
This user name of mine is something I have never used before..whilst there are a few which I have mostly stuck to when it comes to joining a new site on the Internet
I think one reason why is because I somewhat wanted to create a very separate myself or identity sense from those I have in this cyberspace..of course, one determines to hack or track down others' ids then there is always a way to do it lol...but still..a flimsy disguise
I also tried to pick a user name which would not much reflect or show what kinds of backgrounds I am from..which was not really successful though lol one really cannot escape structures they're embedded in and have sprung from I guess
and of course the pictures I uploaded on this site..gives away some hints as to what kind of a person I am...that is, if any one on this site is ever interested in to find out smile
Since it seems that I have too much free time on my hands, sometimes I look at some dxp users' names and try to read things from them...lots of times they carry and convey a good deal of information about someone
lol what am I babbling on..
anyways, any one interested in sharing why you chose or created the user name you're identified with on this site..or anywhere else? smile
mine says all you need to know
It's the name of Flannery O'Connors farm. And she raised peacocks there, hence the avatar.

I was younger, am a virgo and wanted something awkward sounding.
goki sounded a little like frogs croaking and reminded of a scenario beside a pond/lake. Poetic but disguised by the frogs.



May I ask why would you want something that sounds awkward? Is there any reason for it? smile
Goki...sounds like a Japanese word..
and of course croaking sounds of a frog, too, as you said
interesting.. smile
It's a rather short story that probably wouldn't make sense to anyone but me and a certain Pisces. I've tried.

Mine is the one I started with and I'll stick with it.
It's a late 1800s slang term for "Cowboy"
If you've never heard it used, watch the fine Sam Eliot/Katherine Ross movie "Conagher" sometime, it's a great story and an excellent movie... as anything with that pair in it usually is. There are times I can identify very well with Sam Eliot's attitude in that movie. Winking


I will try to watch the movie smile
I didn't know it was a late 1800s slang ...interesting!
Mine says it all. LOL.

May I ask who Flannery O'Connors is? She raised peacocks? May I ask why?
sorry..I'm too curious lol not so good...Sad
Of the few things I know about peacocks is..that it's the bird of Greek goddess Hera
Such a beautiful bird, but they look quite proud sometimes..

Yes, lots of times names have personal, private hi/stories..they have some values to their users...if not, then why someone would pick up them for themselves?
But then some names are..or seem totally random..and in those cases, I still try to look into something..which might be carried by them unconsciously..
maybe I'm reading into things too much lol
a rather short story that probably wouldn't make sense to anyone but me and a certain pisces...that sounds beautiful..somehow smile
Flannery O'Connor was a writer. Mostly short stories, but some longer pieces.
I'm a pretty typical capricorn, three cappy placements, so true capricorn = truecap.
Pretty simple. I'd like something with more flair, but this is the name I chose when I signed up.

I SWEAR I'M JUST MISUNDERSTOOD. Or only understood by all the right people.



Yours is cool.. smile
I think sometimes I am misunderstood, too..but then at the same time probably I am giving them a good deal of reason for them to be so lol ..and probably they're being misunderstood by me as well lol

It's the name everyone knows me by, most places I go.


May I ask then, is it your real name in rl? :o

I'm a rabbit.


Really? lol
Rabbits are cute smile
I was not feeling very creative the day I signed up & I didn't wanna use my real name so....
I was curious about things astrological, and I am a Cancer born on the cusp.
Not much more to it.

Ixion is a character from greek mythology which according to the ancient greeks was responsible for the first kin-slaying and the birthing of the race of centaurs by way of a cloud shaped like Hera...he was strapped to a flaming wheel by Zeus.
My usage of it though stems from my love of Final Fantasy and Ace Combat. Ixion120 is also my gaming identity.


It's also the name of an asteroid or star. Everytime I get my chart from astro.com and try to look up my Eros, Psyche, Juno, etc. Ixion is always listed as another choice to add.
Because I was adamant to find about a virgo at the time I thought I'd announce myself as an aqua. Should start a new username called TheFencingFish.
I was born at a time of year that has a lot of wild weather that I think is symbolic of the chaotic nature of Pisces energy.
High school nostalgia over some Anne Rice books.

Ahhhh thank you smile
I may look for short stories by the author and read some..reading short stories is one of my ways to pass time when I'm on subway or a bus

I'm not familiar with neither...the Greek mythology and the games..but still it's very nice to know where your user name comes from! it's always interesting to learn what's behind...at least for me smile
Well mine is self explanatory only because cumguzzlr69 was taken??_.I think he goes by prince pisces now Tongue

I wasn't feeling very creative the day I joined this site as well lol that is why now I have this silly user name of mine lol...as I wrote I don't even know how to pronounce it myself..but then does it really have to be pronounced at all? It's not like the real name I have & use in rl..this one will (probably) only be used on this site..thus always be written in a textual form...rather than be voiced smile
Maybe the number 76 means the year you were born?...sorry if I'm being too nosy lol you don't have to tell me everything Winking

haha it is not my government name, but it is the name people know me by in real life yes. One day I may legally change it, I'm so used to it.

so does that mean that your user name here is identified with and related to you more than your government name is?
just curious...then do you feel like there are like..two different of senses of oneself..when you have and use two different names in rl? like you tend to associate one name with certain things and the other with other things..

hehehe the first thing which brought me to this site was...astrology, too
but then I hadn't even really considered picking up names related to it...like I wrote I wanted to reveal as less of myself as possible..but it probably hadn't gone that way since if one looks at on which forums (e.g. gemini forum lol) I have been making threads then they would've had a good idea about where I come from lol...
speaking of the cusp...I'm a cusp born, too smile

HAHA such an old skewl show! Love it!
I loved Dot, and of course in a similar vein- Blinky Bill was a firm fave too...
It was either this name or Batman. I made my choice, and I stand by it.

Which one?
I could make a guess, and have a 50% chance of being right.
