Since most of us on the boards use nicknames..i think it would be interesting (at least for me!!) to know their origin.
So here goes mine.. Dorian comes from Dorian Grey (yeah, the one by Oscar Wilde)
Friends use to call me by that name, since it seems that while i'm getting older i look younger (hmmm :wonder: )
Jane comes from Calamity Jane.School mates used to call me by that name cause back then i was pretty much a calamity..
So, after some time it just felt right to put these two together.
So here i am.
Yours trully,

I'm the Angel Of Music, Israfael (who I believe is common to the Islamic faith).
I also took my name from The Phantom of the Opera. I became obsessed with it (musical, book, movies, etc...) in Junior High. Gaston Leroux's novel is one of my favorite books. I've read it 4 or 5 times now. :)

Cecilia
Ever heard the song Cecilia by Simon and Garfunkel? Well, my Mom used to sing it to me. It's my earliest childhood memory. My real name is Stephanie, but Cecilia stuck with me through the years. I even chose Cecilia to be my confirmation name when I was in 8th grade. :wink:
St. Cecilia, Patron Saint of Music.

Okay. Last time I told you guys about swamps and gasfires. I'm too tired for that now ;) I'll just give you the dictionary explanations..
Finnish to english:
virvatuli: (conception) will-o'-the-wisp
ignis
english - english dictionary (to non-native ;) )
will-o'-the-wisp: phosporescent light seen over marshy ground
(fig) something unreliable; elusive person or thing
Hmh, I don't like dictionaries :D
Truely I picked this nickname because I'm so hot inside ;)
No. Not. Truely truely? In finnish it has this wonderful mysterious, magical sound about it. And it sounds really beautiful. And isn't related to people in anyway. :roll: :wink:

I am a recovering alcohalic and drug attick of almost 11 years now.. and my Favorite band is Dream theater... on their album 6 degrees of inner turbulance they have a song which the lyrics written by Mike Portnoy called This Glass Prison, that talks about the first steps of A.A and in the begining stages of recovery... well I wanted to change my nick to that but a friend already was using it in the official dream theater chat room..
when Dream Theater came out with their latest release "Train of Thought", they also wrote and song about it again. this, being the prelude to "The Glass Prison" called This Dying Soul.. so that is why I have this nick... not to mention it is a kick ass song

Argh... this makes me nuts. I was pretty sure we had that topic already.
No offense, Jane, I couldn't find it myself ;)
Well, the story behind my "nickname" is short and simple: It's short for "Ambassador of Pain" which is a great song from KATAKLYSM:

Though i'm new here and haven't browsed through every topic yet, i haven't stumbled on anything relevant so far. No offense taken AoP , though i wonder why you thought i might be offended.
P.S.: Great lyrics!! They made me search on the web for the music as well, and here i am now , ready to jump into their site.
See ya !!
-
@AoP: I've downloaded "Courage through hope" (Victims of this fallen world album- i know you already knew that !! ).Great music.I expected to hear a voice more matching though..but then i guess that's only my opinion (and we all know what opinions are like.. :wink: )
(Damn! Is this out of subject or what... :wall: )

Personally, I think that the albums released via Hypnotic Records are all... well, they're not worth being checked out, except for really die hard fans who want to know everything from the band. I definitely recommend the albums released via Nuclear Blast. The best albums (by far!) are "Prophecy (Stigmata of the Immaculate)", "Epic (The Poetry of War)", "Shadows and Dust" and "Serenity in Fire", yeah, all the new stuff. The band definitely matured in the years of their existence which showed well in the progress they made with every album.

MIne is not too exciting but I work as a Registered Nurse here in the US, and we are called RN for short in the medical field. I listen to Heavy Metal and it ws a nick name given to me by my fellow workers, and I started signing my e mails that way, and then used it when Bleeding redid their boards over. Thus The Metal RN.

@Everyone: Oh you funny , inventive, inspired, sensitive , never giving up souls..

Haha, I felt the same way, AoP, and I think I found the threat. :)

Yap, you got me there and though i've browsed this topic, didn't remember it. Maybe cause the title wasn't relevant to the nickname thing. But seems that many people that have been here much longer than i am, have forgotten about it too. Plus, there have been some new members since then (and more nicknames given out in this new old topic).
Anyway, since you are "root and master of it all" , you can do whatever you like with this one. :whatever:
Cheers!!
-
No no, this was not meant to shut down this new topic, Dorian_Jane! :)
You are right, there is new information in this threat, so just keep going. I just tried to prove AoP's and my feelings right with the link to the old post. 8)

Thank you Odin :D

I live for metal and where I am from, there is not a big metal scene. I see it as a mission for myself, to spread the majestic sound of metal to my friends, acquaintances, family, etc. in the hopes that they will come to listen, appreciate, and live for metal like I do.

That should definitely make HIS day !!!
Beam me up Spokie!!

What does yr name mean in indian?

I think "prabha" is the sanskrit word for "light".

That's very intersting!! We have a firstname in Greece that has the same meaning. It's "Fotis" (Fos = light in greek, though to pronounce it correctly one should write ph instead of f ). -and it happens to be my husband's name , as well -
My real name is Theodora, which means gift from God, (Theos = God), Dora from doron = gift, present. Where "d" replaces our letter "delta", pronounced as "the" article.
Ooops!! carried away... :oops:
-
Interesting details you're explaining! :)

I'm glad you find them interesting ! Many people feel bored or indifferent with such details.
But i'm a glossology junkie.

Oooh, I should ask my Buddhism teacher. He knows Sanskrit. I've been having fun learning the Pali and Sanskrit worlds used in Buddhism. :)
-
Very interesting, in fact.
@Dorian Jane? My real name is Natanael - do you know what it means? :)
-

Well i might disappoint you with that,cause my knowledge is mainly of words coming from Greek and Latin.
The only thing i know (and i guess you know it too) is that yr name derives from Nathanael (th pronounced as 'theory") who was one of Jesus' disciples and that is a Hebrew name.But since i have no knowledge whatsoever on Hebrew (exept from the word Hebrew itself), i cannot offer more help with the meaning (but maybe our friend from IsraHELL can - and i would be more than happy if she did ,always eager to learn more-).
I can help you though with names such as Phillip, Peter, Dimitris ,Diana, Mars, Cronus, Gaia, ,Irene, Tilemachos, Palestines, etc, etc..
-
Hahaha, thanks so far. In fact I do know the meaning myself:
Nat(h)an means gift and El is God - this makes both our names mean the same - Gift from God. :)
-
!!!! That's great info!! Unbelievable coincidence in fact. :o :D
Is there a story behind it? Why did yr parents give you that name? ( there's a story behind mine and that 's the reason for asking)
-

Well, they wanted something special, a name not common at all, and they were probably thankful for the gift they were given, because it took quite long... :)
-
Oh, thank you God ;)
:oops: :D

Same here .. (are you an only child?) .My parents too waited for a long time (about six yeas, and with some unpleasant misfortunes) . My mother is very religious , so she made a vow to God to give her a child.And the miracle happened. I was born on the exact day of St Theodoron name day. And thus i got my name.
So you may as well consider me being the product of a miracle. :)
-
Nice. Yes, I am an only child.
-
Nice. Yes, I am an only child.
And so am i.. I guess the gifts from god never come in pairs... Otherwise they wouldn't be unique :wink:
-
Well spoken! :)

Mas is from my original name Mascha, but everyone says Mas to me

Hi Mas! Yr name sounds a bit Russian, is it really?

Hey Dorian Jane, yeah its a russian name :wink:

I was going to reply to this a while ago, when people were mentioning real names. My real name is Christopher, which I beleive is a greek name, meaning "bearer of Christ"
-
Yeah it is, and a nice name too. But do you know what Christ means? Greek name also, meaning good, virtuous, moral. Good for you Christopher !
-

Then the other nickname that I use, given to me by my wife, Galahad really does fit!! :wink:

OK, now this is off-topic. But this got my attention as it seems to me, that I haven't noticed this until right now. I've been on this boards for quite a while but somehow I never happened to notice this.
Okay, maybe some of you will burst out in laughter about my ignorance but.....
Metalmaiden and The Metal RN are a married couple? :?:
Hey, don't get me wrong, I don't want to be over curious or something.
But looking at the last messages I just wondered :)

I moved this discussion to http://boards.bleeding4metal.de/viewtopic.php?t=657
You can send me the link, too, but I'm not sure if it'll be helpful.
Btw, you could just reply to the mail that notified you about the new posting in this topic. I receive that one, too.

OK

I am a bit of a fantasyfreak. *s* I love elfs and their langugages. I made up the name when I started learning Quenya.
Well, not the real Quenya but the simplified one that is mostly used in Sweden in live action rolplaying games. :)
Elentie means star path. :)
-
Well, in that case, welcome aboard "star path" :)

Welcome aboard! Sounds interesting, a language probably spoken very rarely... :)
