Where'd your name come from???

[Thanatos340 1]

Thanatos is from Greek Mythos. The Incarnation of Death. This mythos was greatly expanded/embellished in Incarnations of Immortality series of Books by Piers Anthony.
I started using Thanatos as a Handle in mid 80`s while running Ground Zero (A Commodore based BBS).
The name became more common over the years and almost every site I went to already had a Thanatos registered so I added the "340" to it as that is the engine in my Pro-Street Car.

I made the Name "Unstable" while On student status right after attempting my first door exit - self explanitory.....

I lack imagination.... When I was first signing up for dz.com I tried about 10 different names - all taken, and since I was using a very slowwwww dialup connection this took quite a while. So out of frustration I just put in my D' license #.

My name is a reference to my given name (that would be Doug) and my 3 pet prairie dogs. The p-dogs are really cool! They were rescued at birth from a ranch where they were going to be exterminated as pests. I bottle fed them formula until they were old enough to eat solid food. They adore me but attack strangers, which would be funny except they can really bite!

I orginally found dz.com for the classifieds since I was buying my first rig. So I just used my university-assigned computer id name. it was only after i discovered the forums that i wished i had changed it... everyone thinks its short for bitch

[kelel01 1]

That's funny, I thought it was short for either "beach" or "beech". I don't know what I thought those meant, but still . . . Oh, and . . .

"craic" is the Irish word for fun and good times. It's pronounced "crack." One of my friends used to call me a "crackhead" because I was so weird and fun. Since I'm not weird and fun because I take crack (or any other drug besides booze), I changed it to "craic"head!

And no, I'm not Irish. Not anywhere near it, in fact. I'm Thai American--both of my parents are Thai, they came to the US in 1968. I was born in Kansas, raised in Tennessee, I live in Chicago, and I'm married to a Canadian! How messed up is that?

It's actually a Polish phrase that I picked up along the way, probably from one of my Polish elders. I thought it was kinda nifty, so I kept using it. It's nice, though, since whatever website I'm registering on, I'm pretty sure my name won't be taken already.

I used to be called Jaybird as a kid because I liked to climb trees. It transferred nicely into my sport as a skydiver. Chuck Blue (SkymonkeyONE) used to call me Pajarito when he was in Spanish Language School with the Army. And there you have it.

Mine is my first name, Ed and the first initial of my last name C for Clark. Pretty simple stuff.

My real name is John but Jay is my nickname (besides Jaybird). I have no idea how you get the nickname Jay from John. I was named exactly after my Granddad, though, and his nickname growing up was also Jay. Who knows.

[Dumpster 0]

I was found in a trash compactor - I was being raised by a family of sewer rats and a long-haired Afgan wolfhound before DCFS stepped in. After that I was placed in foster care where I was forced to sleep in a bathtub with a dripping faucet and a family with constant explosive diarrea. It was there I was christened "Dumpster". When people would stop by and ask "where did that ugly bastard come from" and the family told them "The Dumpster". In school I was called "The Dumpster Kid" and later it just got shortened to "Dumpster".

[Snowbird 0]

It's wishful thinking, actually. I used to chuckle at people who lived in Canada all summer, then went south - like 'Snowbirds' - in the winter. I used to like winter. Now I want to go south all winter, chase the good weather, jump all year, be a Snowbird like the people I used to laugh at.

My real nickname is just T, but there's already a Tee signed up so it would've been confusing.

I always had a thing for cards and poker, but when I first tried to sign up to somewhere on the internet a few years ago, wildcard was taken.....I happened to be reading Fahrenheit 451 at the time....so that was that..... pretty simple..

I dunno. I was just thrashing about trying to think of something. Doesn't really mean anything.
