Ann Ominous was taken
My real name is Unbelievably Horrid. Not those exact words mind you.
I was named after a song about a girl. I however happen to be not a girl. Kind of gender inappropriate. My father, who didn't speak French, hence the mixup, was a sergeant in the air force. In Kansas at the time, it would have cost 50 bucks to get the name changed. Since also at the time that would have been roughly a third of his monthly check, and i already had 2 older siblings, that idea was right out of there.

Ann Omally = anomaly simple simple.

Of course it could have been worse. I have a friend named Mason Dixon... Junior...

means that his grandfather had a sense of humor as well.

My son, should I ever have one, will not be a Junior. My name dies with me.

Wow, I never actually read your full name before... Anomaly... I get it now! =)
So, your real name is Ann... and you're a guy? I can only imagine the school kids...

Kind of reminds me of Johnny Cash's song A Boy Named Sue

nah real name is ....
easy enough to find, so much being public information nowadays. ann just works well with Ann Ominous and Ann Omally Ann R Kissed and others.
Cyberspace just gives you a whole lot of room to play with words.

Make bad puns...
Some of my Mexican friends call Ike... as Ay, que cochino...
(means "what a PIG" referring to my eating habits.)

so i could have a nickname like Ike A Cochino.

Where did I get my name? I'm pretty sure my mom and dad had some hand in it... hard to say, though.

Oh, wait... he wants to know about my user name... a quick google of Dngrsone and nickname would reveal several (amazingly corroborative) answers posted elsewhere.

Not much of a profile, is it?

Yes, I am named after that guy, though.

ya, well, for the first couple months i went by NaiLz... but later decided it was too close to common, and I eventually dropped it and went with my real name typed in gOoFy cApS... this lasted for about a year... but I had to add numbers to the end to get an email address... This did not please me! Finally, it hit me!

Mad Cow Disease... (uh, hit me as in the metaphorical term... didn't actually contract the virus)... Obviously the full term is too long... I debated dropping the last word and just going as MadCow, but that's way too common... Remembering the original goal of including an X or a Z in my name, i realized that two Z's together form the sound "sease" [unless you pronounce it zed, coz that just messes up everything]...

so I finally chose the term MadCowDzz...

...and the legend of MadCowDzz shall live on!


I love this post everytime I read it =)

Origin of Nick
Mine is a hash generated by Sneakemail, whose service I recommend (others may be just as good). I usually leave off the "02" they always put on the end, however (entered this forum before I settled on that practice).

My name is rather dull, and I took it because I had to make some name for Gmail and "dragonbyte" was already taken.

My previous username was commonly "cthuhlu2", which I grabbed from Steve Jackson's Illuminati game's "Servants of Cthulhu" (which pulled it from H.P.Lovecraft's Call of Cthuhlu books).

When I was making my Yahoo! account, I tried "cthuhlu" and found somebody had it, so I added a "2" on the end.

Later on I noticed that I misspelled "Cthulhu" by switching the last "h" and "l"! Funny thing is I wasn't the FIRST one! Oh well, people stared calling me 'Lu instead so that was cool.

Unfortunately my Yahoo! email box has become spam-ridden and my Yahoo! IM generates dozen of spam messages a day so I abandoned it (mostly).
