What is your name?

[Contra Fates]

This thread is so everyone on RSF can refer to everyone by their preferred name. Only post once, and let us know your first name, or the nickname you wish to go by. =)

My name is Kendra.

[A Bit Obtuse]

I go by Courtney.

I wish I had a cool nickname, but alas I don't xD

[Cavallone]

Ryan.

You can all start bowing, now.

No, seriously.

Well, maybe everyone except Val. And Kendra would kill me if I told her to bow before me. .

I dunno if Courtney up there would emasculate me for saying the same or not. Oh well. Hi.

[Sephiroth]

Well I'm Dave =D

or David if you prefer

[Casanova]

John. Just... John.

Not Jonathan, and definitely not spelled Jon or Jonh.

[Hannibal Lecter]

Amelia.

My mom named me that for a number of reasons. The princess Amelia, Amelia Earhart, my great-grandmother [I think? Because I remember my mom told me she's a Jew named Victoria]. But I think it was mainly the princess part. > . >

My middle name is Nyla...I don't know the origin of that, but few of my mom's friends call her that.

I wouldn't be suprised if I woke up one day and my name was Forrest Gump. <3

[VxM Edgeworth]

My name is Marcus, but I also have two last names and two middle names. One middle name is Reiven. I prefer it be that.

Those are both sexy names.

Oh, and I think we ought to put the meanings of our name, eh? Just search on a name-origin site on Google and search in your name. Then you copy and paste the meanings here. I'll do that on my name...but please don't laugh. > . >

Usage: English, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, German, Ancient Germanic Pronounced: ə-MEE-lee-ə (English), ə-MEEL-yə (English), ah-ME-lee-ah (German) [key]

Variant of AMALIA, though it is sometimes confused with EMILIA, which has a different origin. The name became popular in England after the German House of Hanover came to the British throne in the 18th century - it was borne by daughters of George II and George III. Another famous bearer was Amelia Earhart (1897-1937), the first woman to make a solo flight over the Atlantic Ocean.

Now for my middle name...

Nope. They don't have it...unless my mommy referred to that vampire lady from Hellboy II [Nuala]. > . >

[Hydracula]

Well... my FULL name is: Hayden Liu Weng.

Short, eh? Well, yeah... no need for that many names and such.

Why I came to be known as such? After Joseph Haydn. A last name made a first name,:O

However, this is the true etimological meaning, from Behind the Name:

HAYDEN
Gender: Masculine & Feminine
Usage: English
Pronounced: HAY-dən [key]
From an English surname meaning "hay valley", derived from Old English heg "hay" and denu "valley".

Well, that's all.

Oh, you may call me anyway you wish... so long its possible for me to know you're referring to me, xD

[Toxic Variations]

My name is Val. Howdy! You can call me Val. I'll come back and edit my post with the whole name meaning thing later on. xD Anyway, that be me.

[Aleister Black]

Good evening, my name is Michel. Pleased to make your acquaintance.


Michel is derived from Michael, which is of course the angel Michael. Michael was the warrior angel if I remember correctly. The one with the sword and probably nice white wings, white horse and shining armour. That's me in a nutshell


You can call me by any amount of names. Kendra likes to call me Aleister because... well, just because. I go by Von_Lipwig as well, or just Von. Past usernames included Dougall_McAngus and Tulcea_Dnistrovsky, but those are pretty much dead and buried except for my photobucket account.

I have no nicknames in real life, although my mom likes to call me mimi. Something my friends have unfortunately heard and taken over.

[Sephiroth]

I share your pain Michel xD my friend found out a nick name my mom always call's me by now they won't let me live it down....

[Fuyumine]

I am Chris #1.

You can call me Chris, or you can call me #1. Because I am #1.

;]

No, but seriously, my name's Chris. o_o

[dthc]

My name is Tera Lynn. It rhymes with paraffin. If it didn't, it'd be my mother's name.

The girl's name Tera \t(e)-ra\ is a variant of Terra (Latin) and Theresa (Greek), and the meaning of Tera is "Earth; late summer".

more accurately though,

tera (symbol: T) is a prefix in the International System of Units (SI) denoting 1012, or 1,000,000,000,000 (1 trillion in short scale).

Confirmed in 1960, it comes from the Greek τέρας, meaning monster.

Yah. In a nutshell...

However online and when cosplaying I go by Moira. It has many different meanings depending on different countries. For English and Scottish it means "Bitter". For Irish it means "Great". When I originally was looking up names that have "angel" or "angelic" as a meaning, Moira came up for Irish names and I took it up.
