Your Screen Name

[SexyChele]

Nothing really creative here, just needed something when I registered for Lit and this came to mind first. Never thought I'd be around this long, or I might have put more thought into it.

But, Chele is my real nick name, and I have had people tell me that I'm sexy, so I suppose it fits. Besides, too lazy to try to think up another one.

And, no, I only use it here at Lit, but I do use variations of Chele in other places.

 

[Pechorin]

I studied Russian at University and one of the books I had to read was "A hero of our time" by Lermontov. The aforementioned hero went by the name of Pechorin. Just liked the name and the character.

 

[DéjàNu]

Robin Hobb!!!!

Mine is a charactor from a book I read recently... The liveship traders trilogy by Robin Hobb. I thought it was a fab name and loved the strength of the charactor, so knicked it! <grin>

I normally use it for most things though I sometimes pick another fav charactor from Anne MacCaffery's dragonriders of pern series.

DéjàNu is a new nickname I want it to sound a bit french but know by english so Déjà vu became Déjà nu (nu=nude). But often I use a caracter name from a book too and not so long ago I was using (not here) Althea!!!!! Funny because when I have seen your nick, Vivacia, I was wondering if you have read this wonderful books of Hobb. My favorite series is the The Farseer Trilogy.. really good fantasy books...

 

[cuz cracker]

i'm a white country boy and a smartass!

 

[lilminx]

I was called this by an ex-lover (Paganangel, as a matter of fact), and it stuck. I've been told that it's very fitting.

 

[T.H. Oughts]

Thoughs...... being a writer and an artist and a sensual female I have a lot of them

I don't use the name anywhere else but here at Lit. If I ever decided to publish under a name besides my own I think I would use this one

 

[Lili]

My original screen name (used on talkers) was my ex-husband's screen name with 'Mrs.' in front of it.

Within a few weeks that became too confusing, since most of our friends were mutual, so I chose the name Isis. There were a few reasons for this. It was short, easy for people to type, and I liked the spiritual aspect of it.

When I started visiting different talkers where my old friends didn't hang out, I wanted a name that sounded like a real name, but was equally easy to type. I'd gotten fond of the alliterative nature of Isis, so I chose Lili.

I've also gone by Molly and Peach, but I've dropped Peach because of the obnoxious come ons it attracted. Seems like everyone wanted to know if I was 'ripe and juicy'.

Lili (et al)

 

[talk2024]

Sigh

It means absolutely nothing. When I logged onto lit last year to submit a story, I realised that I needed a nom de plume and spontaneously chose a random word-number combination that I could easily remember.
Maybe I should change it.

 

[Dillinger]

There have probably been a dozen threads asking this question over the past year... would love if we could collect it all in one place - you might notice a lot of the "old timers" not responding because it gets old after awhile.

The last thread on this subject however was only 2 weeks before this one was posted. Usually its at least a couple months before the question comes up again... For anyone interested, that last thread is at http://www.literotica.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=61194&highlight=screen+name

The thread prior to the one two weeks ago was only about a month prior to that posting - its at http://www.literotica.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=56827&highlight=screen+name

Seems as time goes on the frequency of this particular topic coming up is exponential... *lol*
(If search was working properly I could link you to all the threads on the subject...)

Back when I first came here I used to post a more lengthy descriptions - here's a copy of what I posted on the thread from a month ago - I've shortened the answer over time:

My name arises from several different origins:

http://www.snopes2.com/sex/penile/dilling.htm

and...

of course - everyone knows that John Dillinger ran a secret spy organization called "Alligator Control" beneath the United Nations building.

and...

I've long been a member of the legendary "John Dillinger Died For You Society"

Maybe we can get Laurel to add a field in our profile where we can all put our description of our screen name? Then it would be readily available at anytime...

 

[Ragingbull]

We are who we want to be - nothing more, nothing less!

Thank you for your courteous reply. I know for the "old timers" (which, incidentally, I hope to be one day) it must be seriously tedious to see the same old posts come up.

I did use search to check and it din't throw anything up.

Perhaps the powers that be could put a safety check on new threads to see how closely they resemble an existing one and warn the poster if it has, say, a 75% match. I don't know how technically difficult this is to do but I had it written into my contact tracking database at work and it didn't seem too difficult to implement.

 

[WhiteRose]

WhiteRose. Hm well I wanted something different for Lit, and I adore white flowers in general, but there is something special about white roses. Sophisticated as in cultured, silky as in the tendor touch of a lover's skin, delicately scented as in candles and oils, and terribly romantic. And out of dozens of pics of white roses that I found, I chose this one because it resembles a woman's opening sex.

Lady Violet is my Wiccan name.

Bright blessings, to you Lady Violet

 

[kiwiwolf]

Kiwiwolf? That officer missed his calling, if he can sell a car that reeks so.

LMAO... Yeah I have to agree. He sure as hell was no good as an officer, so maybe he did better as a salesman.

 

[kiwiwolf]

I am loving this reason !!.....haahahahahahaha....that's great.

Why thank you ma'am. Last time I posted it, I got flamed in PMs. I was disgusting and perverted...

By the way, I have fallen madly and desperately in lust with your AV...

Thank you! I was hoping I didn't come across as too preachy... that certainly wasn't me intent. Just trying to explain why this thread my not have gotten as many responses as you expected. Its an excellent subject... which is why it keeps returning.

The problem is that the search feature here is somewhat "broken" and doesn't appear to allow searches beyond a certain date...

Your suggestion about a "safety check" is interesting - though I wouldn't expect it to be high on their list. It would be cool if before we submitted a thread we got some message along the lines of "would you like to look at similar threads on the same topic before submitting." Cool idea.

 

[cymbidia]

I, too, have posted this repeatedly, so this is a cut n' paste of a previous post

A temperate zone orchid within a family consisting almost entirely of tropicals, Cymbidium orchids not only survive but thrive in conditions that would kill or maim more delicate members of the family. Considered an especially hardy orchid, Cymbidium also produces some of the most exotically sensual flowers of the family. It's fitting, perhaps, for a masochistic submissive to wear a nick that connotes the ability to withstand and even enjoy some of life's harsher pleasures, is it not?

I took the name for those reasons and feminized ending because i'm a woman, and because i simply couldn't wear a nick that ended with the word "dum". I've used it to the exclusion of any other in a variety of online places for almost ten years.

 

[Dragonette]

I'm me, everywhere

I am Dragonette all over the net, for years!
Occasionally I can't get it, so then I am Blue Dragonette

Says me, an ancient one!
I like lavender ones also for another reason.

[Mystical]

Mine represents me. My hubby once told me before he married me that he would probably spend the rest of his life trying to learn about me and go to his grave never knowing everything.

I have had this name for 4 yrs and I use it for everything in one varaition or another.

 

[Rick DeVille]

[Halx]

Original: Halarkin

Made it up for a character in an RPG, liked it, started using it everywhere else, but peeps always want to call you somethin' short, so it evolved to Hal. Hal is not very common, but it's not unique, so I wasn't able to sign up for many web services with just 'Hal' and even in IRC, someone always had my name. So, I just added an x to the end to denote a multiple of... and everything was cool

Halx!

 

[Dragonette]

Halx

You are?
Drat

Sorry ladies... I'm now taken

 

[SpectreT]

I've answered this before, as a lot of us have, but I'll keep answering, because I like explaining the train of thought that derailed on SpectreT.

I prefer stereotypical Brit spelling of some words, and have used the handle "Spectre" many other places. I used to call myself "The Silicon Spectre" in another time and place, when computers were very rare in the home, and caught a lot of flack for the odd spelling. I went to calling myself "Wraith" on other Bulletin Boards (Back when everyone on them shared clever coding ideas and we all worshipped at the altar of the microchip).

I've always had a hang-up about being a kind of ghost; not really here, even when I'm here, and when I've made my presence felt, people become uncomfortable. I was also completely in the grip of manic-depression, and the nick fed my messianic focus on "Great Me" and "poor me" simultaneously. The "T" tacked onto the end is short for my first name, "Tom".

I also go by a couple of other nicknames, one being "Ogre". That one was what my mother used to call me because of my disposition when she interrupted me writing.

The other nickname, the one I still use to this day, is "The Beast". That one was hung on me by a friend, who drew a lot of parallels between me and Hank McCoy, The Beast in Marvel Comics' X-Men.

 

[MunchinMark]

This thread is the third in which I've said why I called myself Munchin'Mark. And I would like to say this, I don't mind a bit.

Of course threads get repeated but things change in between postings. New developements, change of opinion and of course the steady influx of new board members.

Other people might complain, but it really isn't that bad a thing.

People criticised you for using proper English spellings, SpectreT?
Arseholes.
