Oddly, unlike a great many users on LJ who are hide their identity for some reason, I used my real name. Or significant parts thereof. www.livejournal.com/users/cathyn/

Cathyn = my first name
Cardinal = my title in no less than three churches (ULC, SubG, Church Militant of the Outlands)
Kildare = the County in Ireland my family's from

So, the name is roughly Cathyn, Cardinal of County Kildare. In the ancient Catholic church this would mean that Kildare was mine, though in modern usage, it's (first name) (title) (surname)

cernnunos6669 is a name I had early on in my explorations of the internet and which I still use.

cernnunos being an anglitization of Kernnunos, the celtic horned god and lord of the hunt.

6669 being the oral copulation of the beast.
It is sort an homage to my pagan and satanic influences.

Long ago, in the days of Usenet (but after the "Great Renaming") I had the login "drseuss". I still do on my primary unix/mail account.

However, as I started signing up for various and sundry services, like yahoo or LJ, a name like "drseuss" is quickly taken. So I took the initials of the good Dr's real name, and have "tsgeisel".

I'm a crabby hermit, thus the name hermit_crab.

It fits.

With a real name like Wolfgang, I've never really searched for an online "persona". Unfortunately, when we went to go hunt for wolfgang as a username for LJ it was taken so the creative people that set it up for me came up with w0lfg4ng.

Works for me.

I stuck "meme" to the back of my first name when I registered, as there was already a jody on LiveJournal. It was a hasty decision, I didn't care for it at first, but the kids seem to like it,so, what the hell.

Well, darren was taken. As was torin. Wolfieboy was actually my third choice.

I'm lj-user="karina"

That is my first name, which means precious in Italian :)

karina.livejournal.com

You'll need to add me as a friend to read my journal :)

I chose stilldocked because I was listening to a Moz tune when I needed to create an account at LambdaMoo...

scary...

My name, jason_bond_69, is a bit of a fluke because, for some reason, it would not let me select my traditional name, jasonbondshow. So out of frustration, I chose jason_bond_69 out of frustration.

Jason Bond is not my real name, but my community college radio DJ name. I will (hopefully) resume my radio career when I transfer to Appalachian State next fall to pursue my teaching degree.

As for the 69: yes, it does refer to the sexual position, and not the year I was born (which was 1971. I put it there out of frustration with the failure to get my usual ID.

Actually, the name "blackdhalia", was among some that I had thought up and wasn't in use. I asked my boyfriend at the time how to pell Dahlia and he told me the wrong way, hence the spelling error. After I had the name, I found out about the Black Dahlia murder 'cause people kept asking me if that is why I chose that name. I had never actually heard about her or anything relating to her at the time that I chose the name, so it was a kind of a fluke that she was burried 20 minutes from where I live and I became oddly fascinated by her story.
If I had my choice, I would have "nekogeisha" (cat artisan) since I use that for a lot of things anyhow. But it was allready taken by someone who abandoned their lj it seems.
BAH!

bohemefem . . . i use it for just about every username that I have . . . way back in the day when I was on aol....I was trying to find a name that would reflect my bohemian attitude...and bohemefem was the closest I could come because all the other names I thought of were taken.....so I've continued to use that name bohemefem for everything....because I am a bohemian female! and I don't mean I'm from Bohemia . . . although that would be cool if I was ...

My LJ name : Likeadrug is from a Garbage song Temptation waits. "You come on like a drug I keep coming back for more."

'drokk' has been my username since the time I was going to
sign up for this computer club membership and 'mathias' was already taken. It must have been over 10 years by now?

"drokk" is substitute for swear words in a british comic
called Judge Dredd.

my LJ username used to be whispering_winds, that's the name i signed up with long long ago. i chose it as it just seemed... fitting some how.

i had to change it, however, to escape a bad roommate reading my lj situation and so

viola

Her_whispers

and that's exactly what it is. a journal full of my whispers.

M.

My LJ name: redragon... lets see, dragons are my favorites fantastic creatures and red is of course the color I like the most... as simple as that *smiles *

Addy

Mine is my real name, heh. :)

Fuso13

I saw it written on a truck and said "That's for me". How's that for lame?

Habit!

My name is Cheryl Ayn. My lj name is cherylayn. :)

Actually it was a weird psychological thing with me. My old name was rageaholic. And at the time I had 'rage' in any of my internet names for message boards or chats and the like. I had done that because I was able to get away with being extra bitchy more often than not. Then I decided I wanted just to be more of myself online. Hmmmm . . .yes I *AM* and internet junkie. But yeah, that's my history.

I chose 'one_auto_one', initially, because it represented everything I meant to express in my outlet for my automatic writing (although it's morphed into something much more like a regular journals these days) - that I was a machine, and my writings were not my own (many of them were generated by software I had written, but, I'm not so interested in that now. I still don't consider automatic writing to be the property of the author, but that's a whole 'nother discussion). It also reflectts the repetitive/reflective nature of us borderline-OCD types, and the text that tends to be included its self.

My old journal was 'dolljunkie', which was lifted from the Richard Calder trilogy 'Dead Girls, Dead Boys, Dead Things' - which, if you've read it, is pretty self-explanatory as to why a person would've taken on such a handle.

!c

my user name nick919

nick is my first name
919 is the first three of my aneversery

I go by "delusionallife" on there, mainly because half of the time my real life dosen't feel so stable.

I don't remember anymore why I have this handle. Someone said it suited me, and I added the "y"'s to make it unique, and I've been using it since I was 15 at least. Now it's stuck to me like some sort of parasitic arm.

A friend of mine that I used to work with wrote super monkey on one of my notebooks (the guy is really into monkeys). He was a really good friend (haven't seen him in a long time, have no idea where he went), so I made a name after him.

My name is Gilana, and I'm a woman, but I couldn't use MsG because, well, that looks stupid and is the name of an ucky chemical or something, hence:

mizg (that's me, though I often consider changing it to just Gilana)

Budgie's a nickname I picked up at college in 1982. Despite only half a dozen people close to me using it a decade later, when I got online I started using it again, since this was supposed to be fun...

My live journal name (sariane) is just a combination of my first and middle names.

My main LJ is ioevri1 and it is my trademark name, meaning 'I owe everyone' from teh license plate of my first car!

Anyone that knows me knows they can search that name and find me.

:)

My Lj for me, that I use for private thoughts
is called my-secrets

djdigit (djdigit.livejournal.com) was the obvious concatenation of my "dj name." Digit is short for Digital since I adore all things digital and the intersection of computers and music fascinates me. It turns out there have been somewhat popular DJ Digits in the past, so I'm looking for a more unique name (DJ Spazmo is the current top pick).

coolmari25 is my sn with pretty much everything. It all started with my first e-mail adress at hotmail. My sister heleped me to set it up. I cannot remember if it was my first choice or not, but I don't think it was. Her name was (insert sister's first name in blank spot) _____rocks@hotmail.com so I sort of copied her with the coolmari idea. 25 is my favorite number. I did not pick age because it changes every year, so that would be silly. the 20's have always been my favorite numbers. So many good things in my life revolve around numbers that are twenty somthing. Funny, growing up, people would not let me say all the twenties, they wanted me to pick a specific twenty. I picked 25 as my favorite number because it is a square number, multiple of five, good age to be, easily goes into 100, equivilent to a quarter, and has several other relations to fun numerical values.

I know, I'm a dork. But I just love number tricks and easy numbers to work with. Funny to think that although I love numbers, I'm not fond of math. Well, at least not after a certain level. I guess it's because I was sort of screwed over in that aspect of learning due to my school's error in my placement.

little_rakaia. I chose that because plain ol' Rakaia was already taken.
Why Rakaia? Memories of one of the best years of my life I guess. Beautiful river. Nice island. And it sounds cooler than "Jen"

I chose BlackRose900 for many reasons. Rose is the name my parents first gave me before they changed it to Ashley. Black is one of my favorite colors. I've always had 900 on every screen name i've ever had.
