I'm sure this has been done befor, but I'm to lazy to did through the archives to find it.

Why do you use the nickname that you post under?
PF made a quote in another thread that reminded me of how I got mine.

Mine is a nickname that I was given by one of my distant relatives about 20 years ago. He said that I was basically like a dog in that anything I wouldn't eat I would pee on. After a while the "Bar" was added to dog 'cause that is the first part of my name (Barry). I pronounce it more like Bear-dog because of this but spell it with Bar to keep it more personal.


Next.....

Mine's easy, my brother's name was Dick. He's passed away now, but I kept the nickname because I thought so highly of him.

I picked up Lilith when I was in my first real semester of college at 32. I had to do a huge project in mythology and picked Lilith, never having heard of her. Then I found out that she is me. My first and last names are VERY similar so I have always used my middle initial..L. to separate and define. I'm currently looking into having that L. name changed to Lilith legally. I love the idea of being connected to the myths about Lilith, in Jewish mysticism.

My sister actually gave me mine, although she knows nothing of Pixies. When I would go back home (Kentucky) for holidays or just for visits, it would *kill* me to be away from the 'net. Mom didn't have access, although she had a computer, so my sister set me up a screen name under her then-AOL account...as IAKaraokeGirl, my location and something she and I love doing together.

Complete surrender should not just come at moments in which one faces overwhelming odds, but in the calm when it seems one is personally in complete control of one's life.

When I first chose this name, years ago, I thought it defined me. I majored in music as a performing flutist.... and I'm a lady.

Then "American Pie" came out and it all changed ... I almost changed my name, but my chatroom buddies talked me out of it.

Tinman was taken. So I took Scarecrow.

I've used Gilly in some form or another for about 4 years now. It started out as a name for a Role Play character: Gillian Verity (who is still around for me). Then, it trickled over to email, message boards, etc. It gets confusing now that we actually have a Gilly in the house, though. Oh well, I still use Gilly on the net, and she uses it as she toddles around. :-D

Originally, I got it from my favorite movie at the time, Practical Magic, where Nicole Kidman's name is Gillian, and she's called Gilly.

Cassiopeia was the first constellation that I could recognize in the sky! I also really liked the name and thought that the myth behind it was interesting: Long ago in ethiopia Cassiopeia has been the wife of Cepheus and the mother of Andromeda. Because she thought herself more beautiful than the daughters of Nereus, a god of the sea, she challanged the anger of the god Poseidon. To punish her, her daughter was chained to a rock of the coast as a sacrifice for a sea monster. Andromeda was saved from death by Perseus. To learn humility Cassiopeia was banned to the sky hanging half of the time head downward.

here's what it looks like if anyone is interested: http://www.ceebeeit.nl/cassiopeia/
