Well, I really like my name. Wolfarcher. It sounds cool to me... mysterious, menacing.... yeah, even I can't read that and not chuckle, but hey, I still love the name. I came up with the name in 6th grade, 2002 for me. (I'm in 11th now, for reference.) Anyway, I started drawing a lot more, due to the release of Attack of the Clones and my recent befriending of another Star Wars obsessed student. I was looking at some of my uncle's drawings on day, and really liked this one of Batman he did. It was very dark and awesome, the Bat standing on a rooftop in the night, smoke billowing from a set of pipes behind him, cape raised against the moon to cast the Bat's shadow. It was awesome. It was signed 'Archer', and I thought that it sounded cool. I wanted to adopt my own pseudonym, but couldn't think of anything good. Then I was looking at my black lab at the time Wolf, and it just occured to me. Wolfarcher. It just sounded cool and dark, and I thought up a symbol for myself at that time too, the wolf's head sillhouetted against the moon with the sillhouette of the bow and arrow in visible against the moon behind his howling head, which I have altered a bit since then, and is the watermark used on my more recent graphic designs. Thus, my name, Wolfarcher, was born. What's your story? |

A couple of years ago, my fav movie was Independence Day, or ID4. The planned sequel was supposed to be called ID4EVER. I adapted that name for myself, and the name stuck. |

Have I answered this one before? It seems like I have. *checks the thread and doesn't see name* Maybe it was a different thread. In a nutshell, (difficult for me ) Jack the Monkey seemed to be taken already on other sites, along with Undead Monkey, so I switched it around and came up with Monkey Named Jack, or monkey_named_jack. *shrugs*I think the little guy is cute, and he's the focus of several funny lines, so that's why I wanted that name. |

Wow, this thread sure is back from the dead. Thanks for reviving, Wolfarcher!!! And that really is a cool name and history of it. Makes me want my own psuedonym for an alter ego...:P |

As some of you may know, I started out my internet life as pandasing007 - that name was created using a nickname, a favorite thing to do, and the year I was supposed to graduate college (also the number of one of my favorite spies). I changed to adamantpanda because I realised that I can be very persistent and usually I believe I'm right and it's very hard for me to concede that I'm wrong. |

Atrice has a story behind it too - like many names here it seems... I think it started when I was 15 or 16, and I was reading a lot of Anne Rice's vampire books. So I was very much into vampires, and begin to write a very long story/fanfic for those. The main character was a girl named Beatrice, and she eventually became a vampire. Then she had to change name, and removed the "be" from her name and became Atrice. I loved the name very much, and it's stayed with me ever since many of my friends also call me Atrice - especially my internet friends, whom I then met IRL, call me Atrice. I respond to it just as well as my real name, and I even have nicknames for my nickname. I've for a long time considered to actually take Atrice as my real middlename, I've just never gotten around to do it yet... |

I don't know if I've said it or not. Either way, it's in my profile. Go look it up there. |

Well here is my story: I had recently started the Aztec campaign on a game called Age of Empires and i just suddenly thought the Aztecs were totally awesome. So later i started playing a game called Runescape online and i tried to choose Montezuma, the Aztec emperor. But it wouldn't let me choose that because it was taken. Well we are in the 2000's so I tried to name myself Montezuma2000 but it only let me choose 200. But then my player died and i just made a new one and called myself Montezuma300. So there is my story!

Well I was in a RE lesson in early 2005 and I was talking about Johnny and POTC, and my friend randomly came up with Katie POTC Depp. I shortened it to katiepotcdepp. it is my username virtually everywhere, except for some places where i am xoxJDAISxox which has another story. The story for xoxJDAISxox is because Ditty (from parley) and I were up late one night and playing on the TWANG thread (this was when we were still on IMDb) and somehow (I am not telling them how we came up with it Ditty as they might find us weird) we came up with JDAIS which is short for Johnny Depp's Ass Is Sexy. On the radio once I texted in requesting a song, and I used the name Jedias (they pronounced it wrongly, but as it is a made up name, I forgave them). They never played my song
So those are my stories. |

| Barbossa's 1 Luv | Mar 27 2007, 05:41 PM Post #41 |

Hmm Well Barbossa's 1 Luv is pretty self explanatory I think... I made it only for this site, I love Barbossa obviously 'nuff said on that. The username I have on most sites is ShadyGirl619.... When the rapper Eminem 1st came out in ohhh I believe 1999, a good friend of mine as we were listening to his c.d. said to me "wow you r like the female version of that dude" which is pretty true in a lot of ways. So there came about the ShadyGirl most of my friends to this day call me as a nickname, then 619 is the signature move of my favorite wrestler Rey Mysterio, so there you go. ShadyGirl619 my most known name on the internet.... |

My username is a, oh, I think close to 7-year-old username. It is meant to be read as "Tina, Al's Girl". I created it when I got into the Quantum Leap fandom. Al Calavicci is my favorite character from the show, and his redheaded girlfriend was named Tina. Well, I'm a redhead, and as any fangirl does, I fantasized about being Al's girl... I was also wanting to do some casual RP'ing on the Yahoo chatrooms, so I created a username that would be for what character I'd be RP'ing, and thus "tina_als_girl/tinaalsgirl/tinaalsgirl5/etc." was born. I've once or twice had someone ask me if my username meant that I have ALS (I don't), and I do still often have people call me "Tina", even though I always sign all my posts... :Love To All: ~ Joy ~ |

Mine's really simple actually, the xX and the oO was random but was the trend at the time so voila... The MadameParley was because i couldn't have Parleylady...but this was on imdb so...yea... and then i came here and (i don't remember who) either Reb or Xena threw my name together and Madley was born...from then on i have had many a random nickname including : Mads Maddles MadMad Madliget...so on and so forth....blahblahblah... Et Voila! Madley Lives... Do feel free to make up more nickname and if i'm missing a nickname, do add it in your posts as it is only 8:12 here and i do not fully function until noon.... |

Mine is simply my initials and home town. I came up with it when trying to think up an email address for Yahoo back in high school (94-95). I remebered that my older brother used his first initial, his wife's first initial, and his sons first initial and the first letter of the town and country that they lived in for his, so I came up with RADCM, my initials and hometown. And since that is the email address I use when registering for things that I am not completly sure I want to hear back from, it seemed the right name to use when I created my user account on IMDB. Then after meeting all of you, when I came here to Parley I used it so that everyone would know who I was. I have since considered changing it to RPM or RPMHV for my family though but now that I am writing for the news and RAD Ramblins sounds better than RPM Ramblings or some such nonsense, and everyone here already knows me as RAD I decided to keep it. Nothing special I know. But if anyone can come up with a better name, I'm all ears. |

Mine is fairly simple. "Stormy" is just a name I like, and have always liked. I think it fits my personality rather well, and also the fact that one of my favorite things on earth is a summer thunderstorm. The "Lass" part is even more simple. On nearly every other forum or site that I'm registered to, my username is stormygirl84. For Parley I decided that "lass" was a much more piratey word for "girl," and I just dropped the 84. And so you have Stormy Lass. Me!
