Mine's my dog's name and his bday.:)

Mine is my name Aline and my country Brazil :grin:

Mine is a reference to Claire, my favorite character, not my own son's name.

Oh I didn't make that connection, I did think you had a son named aaron :)

Oh I didn't make that connection, I did think you had a son named aaron :)

You're not the first to say that. Apparently I was the only one who made that connection (at least on the night I signed up). :doh: What was I thinking?

yeah I guess it's because a lot of people don't really think of Claire's baby as being named Aaron, now if you had choosen imturniphead'smom.....;)

Hmm well I was thinking of something Lost related but random, and then the image of Locke and his orange smile came into my head. So now my username on Lost boards is always orange. :orange:

Actually I'm a bit surprised noone else had taken your username before, oranges have been so prominent since S1. Lucky for you I guess!

LOL! Now why didn't I think of that? Think they'll let me change it?:drool:

I think if you ask really nicely and explain why, they just might do it :)

Mine is my user name almost EVERYWHERE.
I thought of it randomly when I was signing up for FF.net because I was obsessed with the band HIM.
Anyway, you find another forum and there's a HIMluv.... it's probably me. :biggrin:

Mine is because I liked Desmond so much when he first came on and then some numbers on it. I know, original.....

Me and my buddy were living in the bahamas, running coke for a geman/spanish crime syndicate - joe and i were cleaning up some money and drugs to load on a boat and a portugese rival gang pulled up un a small boat. Me and joe unloaded with everything we had. When the bullets stopped flying me and joe had caught 23 portugese hitmen unaware and slaughtered them all. I caught the nickname "finch" afterwards when a foring friend of mine mispronounced "flinch" As I had said right before the gunfire erupted: "DONT EVEN FLINCH MUTHAFUKA"

So "finch" has just been a nickname that has followed me for some time now...

i obviously love lost! not very creative, huh. well i gues im not a very creative person!

Well,mine,is from the GREATEST GAME OF ALL TIME...

The Legend Of Zelda:Ocarina Of Time...

If anyone has played this,should remember who was Sheik...

mine came from the book that the swan orientation was hidden behind.

It was also mentioned in Bad Twin, being a mystery novel as well.

Mine is a manipulation of my name

i just used my nickname. creative, eh? lol

Well,mine,is from the GREATEST GAME OF ALL TIME...

The Legend Of Zelda:Ocarina Of Time...

If anyone has played this,should remember who was Sheik...

Yup! I'm a Zelda fan.

Mine is a fishy (Zebrasoma flavescens): http://www.aquariacentral.com/fishinfo/marine/ytang.htm
My husband and I keep african cichlids but these salt water cuties are one of my favorites.

OOOO, I love Zelda as well!! Just wish I had more time to play :(

I used mine because I was in to Yu-Gi-Oh a couple yrs. back and I've always used it for everything since.

Mine is a mixture of the first letters of my two siamese cats names. I usually go by another name, but it seems thats a name thats used quite alot...and I couldn't really think of anything else when I joined here...lol!

mine is about 10 years old... i adopted it when i started entering swing dancing competitions and wanted a handle to use on all the national swing boards. my dance partner at the time's nickname was "daddy-o", so i chose "li'l momma". it stuck -- people actually use it in real life now. :D

The "lost" part is obvious, but I chose the name also because I always feel lost! Like my thoughts are racing a mile a minute. I'm always losing my keys, my wallet, my mind! (I'm going to the Dr soon to see if I might have ADD...runs in the family!)

btw, this is my first post, I think I will go over to the newbie board to officially introduce myself. I never wanted to post b/c I thought my username was really dumb, but everyone seems so nice, I thought what the heck (can I say h*ll here?) I also never posted 'cause it seems like there's so many rules and I'm bound to break one or four!

I use this handle for most things I sign up as now. No story, just thought it'd be cool to have a really obscure mathamatical term for a username.

Mine is the name of the Norse death goddess. I chose it because my friends always used to say that I was morbid. Morbid? Me? Never! :)

Okay, here's how I came up with mine:

Anyone know the band, After Forever? I'm not a huge fan of their's, but I like their 'Decipher' album and there's a track on there that I like called 'Ex Cathedra' - and the 1895 isn't just because I'm obsessed with the Victorians, but I'm a huge Sherlock Holmes fan and there's a nice poem, called 221b, where it ends
Here, though the world explode, these two survive,
And it is always eighteen ninety-five

which I quite like :)
and that's how I got the name.

Mine is the first line in the firt high school musical song.

Well, I go by "Penelope" at a few other forums, both Lost and non-Lost related. I think I once upon a time registered here as Penelope -- but alas, cannot remember the password or my email account that I had used LOL. My username as Penelope - of interest, was NOT because of Penelope Widmore. (Its my cat's name :D)

So, I picked PennyKnows when I reregistered here this summer since Penelope clearly knows where the Island is now :biggrin:

I got my username from a monster I created when I was about seven years old. It's first name was PaulieMonster, since my name was Paul. That sounded stupid, so I changed it to Paulozor. That sounded a bit weird also, so I then asked my Dad what was the greek word for power (since he knows latin). He said it was "Dunamos", so that's what my monster's name is now.
100%
Dunamos (DU-NA-MUS). The mascot of my site. I made him (or rather it) when
I was about six years old. He was called PaulieMonster about six
years ago, and then about three years after that, someone suggested to call him "Paulozor".
A few years after that, I decided to give him a better name, something that was not named after me.
So I asked my Dad who knew Latin if he could give me the greek word for power.
He said it was Dunamos. So I decided to call him that. He still remains a treasure to me and my imagination to this day.
He's one cool monster.
Who is Dunamos? Dunamos was a T-Rex that lived in an underground island that
was beneath an island in Costa Rica. A couple scientists, a group of
hunters, and some Costa Rica inhabitants found a tunnel beneath
a huge rock. They explored the tunnel until they reached the
underground island. They were so amazed, that they decided to
stay. A little later, they discovered all kinds of creatures. Including
dinosaurs! They were attacked countless times. However, sometimes
a huge T-Rex would come and eat the creature they were attacked by.
Soon they found out that they were saved from the same T-Rex. The two
scientists then went to study the T-Rex's behavior. The T-Rex
looked slightly deformed, however. They wondered why. Soon they found
the same T-Rex and some other creatures drinking out of a murky
river. They studied the river and found a liquid substance mixed with
the water. They wondered where it came from. Soon they found out
that stones were nearby. Inside the rocks they found the same
liquid. They thought that the rocks might have broken open somehow,
then the liquid would flow with the water. When the animals and
creatures would drink it, they would get a sample of mutation.
Another thing was that when some other animals would drink it,
some tiny pieces of their skin would fall off their bodies and flow with
the water. The liquid would make it dissolve, and their DNA would
flow with the water also. After most of the creatures
got mutated, they soon discovered the tunnel leading to the outside
world. And when the certain T-Rex drank it, it became bigger, and bigger.
Thus creating the most powerful creature ever known to mankind and the universe..
Dunamos: Lord of Monsters.
That's about it.

I wrote a fantasy novel, and Gaius is the main character. :grin:

Its my AIM name :-)

Tis from a book called "Love in the Time of Cholera" and one of the main characters is named Dr. Juvenal Urbino...It is a really neat story written by Gabriel Garcia Marquez which actually just got made into a feature starring Benjamin Bratt which is due to be released in January I beleive. :)

Mine is a childhood nickname and the age I wish I was! :)

Joanna=JoJo=Jojee

You really want to know?

There is a Simpsons episode called "Brother from the Same Planet" [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brother_from_the_Same_Planet ] where Homer adopts a little boy named Pepe who calls Homer "PapaHomer".

I started using the phrase, "Papa***" will explain all." to my college students when they would ask a pertinent question (or usually an inpertinent question).

"Thor" is a reference to an alien found in the Stargate SG-1 universe [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thor_%28Stargate%29#Thor ]. The little guy seems to know everything. (Except shame. His race never wears clothes. At CasaThor we refer to his race as "The Nekkid Race" or "The Naked Greys")

Papa + Thor = PapaThor
MamaThor is the wifey.
TeenyThor is our teenage daughter.
There are other Thor Kids also.

"KittyThor" is our cat, Mulder. He can "meow" in 14 languages.
Yes, there is a Scully but she keeps to herself mostly.

Mulder is also known as:
Mulder The Cat
m! the cat
The Kitty Formerly Known As Mulder
Muldersan
AstroKat
mr. m!
the kat formerly known as m!
The Pope Of Kitty Town
Este Gato! (That Cat! in Spanish)
Special Agent M!
... and some other names I can't remember.

Mostly he answers when you say the word, "TUNA."

Last year Mulder was accepted to Nasa's astronaut program but turned them down when he found out that part of the training involved a probe up his tookus.

This past year he started a new religion called, "The Church Of M!" It is not going too well because it's hard to find scarificial mice. Service attendance is quite small because of that.

He has also written The White House repeatedly which prompted the FBI to start a file on him. It's six pages long. (By the way, they will come to your house and they do not have a sense of humor. By a long shot.)

His alter personality and antics come from the mind of TeenyThor as do the sigs on my postings.

Many of my postings come from ideas suggested by TeenyThor.

DrU... and here I thought you were really a Dr. ... :rotflmao:

Mine's waaay too obvious... it's my name and a bunch of rrrr's after. I've been using it for quite some time now. It never occured to me to come up with something more clever, but now I wish I had. Oh well.

I believe I answered this already; but the opportunity for a Locke fan to come on and say: "I used to be known as deusexmachine" is too much to resist.

(DeuSexMachine is somebody else entirely :angel:)

I picked that so I could pop into flagging RPs and kick them in the pants. But I never saved anybody - I was a god of opportunity not salvation. What the players made of my interventions was up to them.

Challenging maybe ...but never boring. :bigrinan:

My husband plays pool and is quite good!. When I bring in snacks, his buddies tease him and say that's "dirty pool", like I'm his secret weapon lol!

Someone made me a profile on another site called 'CharleyIsAwesome', Charley cause my name is Charlotte lol. It's just sort of stuck :)

I love Dr. Jack Sheppard, hence my screen-name!

Well, I like Jack, and I like Sawyer, and the duality they represent, and the rest is history.

My username is actually my surname... I know - my imagination is unbeatable.

When I was born, my dad said 'Let's name her Jasmin'. ;)

ok well I Joined as I<3Sawyer as.. I do Indeed :heart: him :biggrin:

When I joined dimples i was to pick a nickname and I chose from a list, but i found out later that he one i chose was taken. So i decided to think up my own and i was hard!!

but randomly Mojito popped into my head/

so i got Yahoo and AIM and my IDs were Sawyers Mojito and on the boards everytime some one wanted to refer to me theyd call me 'Sawyer' as i was I<3Sawyer... and I hated that so i found the name changing thread and BOOM instat Mojitoness

XD

Now i have a million names

Moji, Mojo, Mo, Mojito, SM, ect ect :)

(the person who had chosen my original Dimples name turned out to be one of my best friends!! Go figure LOL)

My birth certificate.

It's the title of a Pink Floyd album.

I think mine's fairly self explanatory...Sawyer's one of my favorite characters; what can I say. :)

Jack is my favorite character on the show, I myself have the same viewpoint as him. That leading towards being a "Man of Science", rather than a "Man of Faith". The 6 is from the spoilers that I won't go into because this isn't a spoiler thread, but you know what I mean.

No-one ever gave me a nickname and it felt odd to give myself one so I just ended up using my name

:rolleyes:

I think your name rocks :biggrin:

It's been my user name on every forum I've ever been on for the past 8 years.
I really used to be into BMW's... so you know how in hip-hop tracks and such they call them "bimmers" well I thought it was spelled "beema" and it sorta just stuck with me...
lame right?

I just used my own name (I'm so not creative on the spot!) and "731" is the title of an X-Files episode cause just "Kate" was taken. (Should have used 815- dang! -again, didn't think of it on the spot)

It's my online identity pretty much everywhere I post on the web. My husband's is similar and when I started posting on forums and needed an username I came up with this one to compliment his.

My first name is .. yeah you guessed it, April.
I couldn't think of anything awesome like some of the wonderful people here. So, I added Lost to my name.
Hence, LostApril.
Lame lame lame...hahaha!! It's ok though.
I used for myspace after that. It must be mildly original.

For those of you who have creative talents when it comes to creating screennames, :bowdown: I worship at your feet!!

Gosh, I should put my explanation up here... I'm a... working mom.:rolleyes: (Well, every mom is a working mom.) My Indian name is On-The-Fuse-While-I-Should-Be-Working-Mom. :biggrin:

first 2 initials last name, 2047, is the year in which the world will end:rolleyes: nah I thought it looked cool. Thinking about it I could have heard the year in a movie or tv show or maybe even in a book.

My username used to be a MySpace name, and I decided to use it on here, too. (I think I should have gone with CoreyMikaVerLeth; I use it more.)

My favorite literary character is Molly Bloom, so the Molly came from that and I was born in 1977

mine is a quote :p

from season one. Claire is writing in her diary and Charlie says "Dear diary, still on the bloody island, today I Swallowed A Bug" :D

Wow, I had no idea yours was a reference to Lost. Good to know!:cool:

Desmond calls everyone "me brother". It drives me insane. So this is my little protest against it. It is what I would say to Des if I were on the Island- I am NOT me brother. Although now that I look at it people may read it as not me, brother instead of not, me brother.

I recently told some friends Ben is my favorite character. They all freaked out asking how I could like the bad guy best! I just responded with Locke is acting crazy, Jack pulled the trigger, Kate is playing with Sawyer and Jack, and every other character always does something that makes me :( at some point.

However I expect Ben to be evil and manipulative (and he never disappoints)! Almost every epi Ben has been in I have gone "GAHH BEN!!" because he is just such a great character. He adds so much to the show, and even if you hate him you have to admit Ben is one of the best TV villains.
I also think the actor that plays him does a wonderful job.

I'm from Dublin, and I'm something of a dilettante.

Ever see the anime Cyber City OEDO 808?

Stole mine from the character Gogul, but because I wanted something more unique I added 2k to the end ... so viola! gogul2k

Mine isn't LOST related. :(

I'm just a huge Spurs fan! 4-time NBA Champions! :biggrin:

MY Username is my name because I am lazy and I just add a 14 for no real reason, I just felt like it.

Its my standard username for all chat rooms. Has my last name in it and where i work.

Nickname from like, grade 3, its stuck

mine is a quote :p

from season one. Claire is writing in her diary and Charlie says "Dear diary, still on the bloody island, today I Swallowed A Bug" :D

Love it!!
Great quote, great choice.

"Today I swallowed a bug" has been the "welcome note" on my cell phone for 3 years now.

As for mine ... when I first stumbled into the 'lage, I had never even been to a fan site before, and had never been a member of any of these newfangled forum thingies.
But here I found an astonishingly vibrant community of thinkers who share my fascination and curiosity with respect to LOST and many other things. Had to sign up.
I was paranoid at the time (don't remember why) about using the same ID that I use just about everywhere else on the web (wobbith). So I acronymed a phrase about meself that had some semblance of namieness:

Young At Heart Old Fart

Yep. That's me.

Driven by paranoia, I also chose a password based on some inane formula involving the titles of the first 6 LOST episodes.
Can't ever remember it.
I probably ought to <sorry... prollyotta(?)> fix that.
LOL.

At one time I was heavily into video capturing for a VHS-to-DVD project I was doing at home, about 3,000 movies at the time. I got pretty good at it, so when I joined my second video forum in 2004, I picked the name "Capmaster" , short for "Capturing master"

I kept it, and I use it at the forum I've been running since early 2005 :cool:

Hostile 17 is the band I'm in (metal, wurd \m/). However the band is called Hostile 17 as a Buffy the Vampire Slayer reference. For those who don't know, there's a character who gets locked into this military demon research facility and is given the name Hostile 17. Yeah, look out for my next musical project "Rabbit With an 8 On it's Side".

I just put these random eight numbers together. Turns out that it might be a big part of the show.

miles_ahead = I'm a BIG Miles fan (he IS the new Sawyer) + I really like jazz...Especially Miles Davis (and his album Miles Ahead)...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miles_Ahead

hahahahahahaha

its been so long I almost has forgetten why im Dogmeat



:)

Nice!!!! :cool:

Mine is the title of a book. I'm a big Halo fan, Fall of Reach is the prequal to the first Halo video game. that's it really.

The Unsung Hero. 108. Up to your imagination to figure out who I made my name after. ;)

Well, a few years ago, I had this silly obsession with zombies. So I came up with the name Yummybrains, but sometimes i shorten it to Y_B because it looks flash:p .

Mine is a Grateful Dead song, check out the lyrics below, seemed kind of relevant. Desmond is a Lost Sailor & my favorite character. I Photoshoped Desmond's boat to say Lost Sailor for my avatar. I love the Dead & I love Lost!

I saw your name in the last post, Lost Sailor, and popped into this thread to see if I was right about how you came up with your name.

I was. :biggrin:

I put the quote above my avi during the writer's strike, lol. I need to put a new one up there.

:jerry:

Mine is because of season one, where Jack and Kate find 'adam and eve'.. so I just thought that I would be eve :)

Adorable quote goddessblue. How about your name? Is it really Stella but your a goddess? :)

Nope, lol. I've used goddessblue in forums for about 8 years. When I signed up for the 'lage, I used it here, too.

Of course, I AM a goddess, though! ;)

Of course! ;)

“We never stop investigating. We are never satisfied that we know enough to get by. Every question we answer leads on to another question. This has become the greatest survival trick of our species.” Desmond Morris

Change the last sentence of the quote to This has become the greatest challenge for Lost fans

I really dont like my name anymore, meh.

I signed up on this message board one night when my friend was over and we were watching Lost. I was trying to think of something "clever". We were both "in love" with Boone, and she said "Look at his eyes!" - hence came Boone's blue eyes. My typical wonderwoman was already taken.....

I guess because I do wander around.
