Screen Name Meanings

[starcrossed]

I found this thread...and decided to bring it up. Does anyone remember this?

[starcrossed]

My screen name is starcrossed.

It is from Romeo and Juliet..."starcrossed lovers". I know that it sounds so tragic. Their is beauty in the words... two people that are so brilliant in life separated, but together are a disaster. That is the reality of life sometimes. I guess it is the poet in me that loves the idea...

Anyway, I love the stars in the sky.

Ok, I'm Ceeje. It's a combination of my first initial and middle initial (C+J=Ceeje). There are too many Christi's on the net (and in the world in general). I hated going to school and having tons of other girls with the same name as mine, so I use Ceeje everywhere on the net.

Except on MySpace. Some dude already had Ceeje, so I had to choose Ceeje_lh.

On Yahoo, I'm cjb_legacy. cjb = the initials of my pen name ; legacy = a reference to the book I'm writing. :~)

HEY,

The word Legacy plays a part in the title of my play too!

[Cheza]

Okay, well I think the quote in my sig sums it up, but for those who do not know the character Cheza I'll offer as brief an explanation as possible.

This is not my first screen name. I should admit to that. Back in the mid to late '90s I was known as Southern Grace at TVChat's Sci-Fi room. In recent years I've become a huge anime fan...as my name reflects.

At Xanga, I'm known as R_Dorothy_attempts_to_be_Cheza. R. Dorothy Waynewright is an android in the anime series "Big O" - it (O) is a giant robot - a megadeus to be exact...get your minds out of the gutter . The main character, Roger Smith, is assisted by Dorothy throughout the series...think of her as Robin to his Batman. R. Dorothy was already taken, so I added another favorite character, Cheza from Wolf's Rain. I thought the username worked very well because R. Dorothy always seems to be deep in thought and pining for her lost memories...as they were...she is based on her creator's daughter. Dorothy is also musical, she plays the piano, which I play a bit, but I played the flute for eight years, and I would like to pick it up again. There's also an odd subtext between Roger and Dorothy of an almost romantic degree...she seems to want to be loved.

Cheza, a maiden made of lunar flowers, is fiercely protective of those she loves, especially Kiba...one of the main wolves in the series. Wolf's Rain is harder to explain because of its' nature. At the core though is the relationship between Kiba and Cheza, and the other wolves they travel with - Toboe, Tsume, and Hige, and Blue, who is half dog, half wolf. The hardest thing to explain is that you see the wolves in wolf form and in human form throughout the series. A few humans also play a part in their story. Cheza was created by Darcia's clan. Darcia is the villain of the series. She is the key to opening Rakuen, in other words Paradise. The lines in my sig are from the final episode...which makes me bawl my eyes out every time I watch it.

At yahoo, hotmail, and ebay, my old username still holds, but in various forms: sgrace_otsr, sg_otsr, and sg(otsr) - for Southern Grace of the Silver Rose...but that's another story for another day.

Well mine is not nearly as exciting as Cheza's

CF stands for Canadian Fan and the BJ are the initails of my first and last name.

Don't have a clue why I added 01

[Cheza]

Because you are the first CFBJ here? Just a thought

Sounds good to me!

I like this thread...

[dawn]

Wow! Thanks for bumping this thread Star - I thought I'd read most of the board, but not found this one!

I wish there was a more interesting story to mine, but my name's Dawn, so I thought I'd use that as a username as I've not forgotten it yet! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

[clean4me]

I have several people ask if this screen name means that I am looking for someone to clean for me (always yes) but this screen name came about 9 years ago. I discovered that I was allergic to alcohol and drugs ( I broke out in handcuffs and other states) not really but kinda true. I stopped using and when i started using the web I have used the screen name on every account it reminds me that I got clean 4 me and not anyone else. Plus my real name is Dawn and there are many of us out in cyber land so this is my little stamp.
Nice thread cuz most people wonder about screen names but never ask.
peace and love

[dawn]

cool clean4me! That's inspirational. Also nice to meet another Dawn.

[bostongirl]

Well mine is a bit obvious, but I will explain anyway. I was born and raised in Boston and Boston suburb. I have lived and traveled around the world and now living in Florida. But Boston is in my heart and will always be my home. Whenever anyone asks me where I am from, Boston is always my answer without even thinking.
Star - thanks for bumping this thread, I did not see it before either and am enjoying reading through it.

[starcrossed]

Hello Bostongirl,

No problem. I just was looking around and I found the thread. Fly created a winner, I thought I might just bring it up, for all of us that missed it.

[jillywilly65]

Jillbert

It was hard to pick one.

If anyone is curious about the Silver Rose story...it can be found here:

Minimize the pop-up side-bar ads...then the text should fall in line...

[Cheza]

Please note true Sterling Silver Roses are purple in hue...not truly silver as the ones on that page suggest...those seemed appropo though - they are from my CD of "Der Rosenkavalier"...

[jet]

My screen name comes from...well...I began to write short stories a year or so back and was looking for a cool name to match Marty...Marty & Jet...Jet & Marty (OMG I am so tragic)...anyway, Jet kept popping into my head and she became my wicked alter ego.

So that's what I chose when I first joined LH.com and the org....LOLOLOL.

[starcrossed]

I like your screen name Jet...I have another name for writing. I just don't use it as much as I did at one time. I just use my real name..so boring.

;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D Well, I suppose we all have to have a 'wicked alter ego'...somewhere...I can't help but think of Jet Black on Cowboy Bebop whenever I see your name initially though...He was the favorite character of one of my friends a while back. If I were ever to have a dog, I think it would have to be one like Ein in that series...a Welsh Corgi...either that or a Yorkie...but I'm a cat person.

Anyone else care to share their screen name's origin?
