So... what does your nick mean? - Empty Closets - A safe online community for gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered people coming out

goratrix · 8th Apr 2005, 01:03 PM

Ok... some of you have nicks such as Dave, Mark, Paul, etc and those are obviously your names. But then... there are some of us that have nicks that are not our names...

I was just wandering what they meant?

Mine is because of a character I really liked from the Clanbook Tremere. I could probably tell you his story, but that won't really help. It sufices to say that he was a mage, and he became a vampire. And he was one of the first vampires to use the magic of the blood. Now... of course it's fiction, it was writen by White Wolf Game Studio. And well.. they wrote Vampire: The masquerade... one of my favorites RPGs. And Goratrix plays a great part in the comming of Gehenna (end of the world) That's why I chose that name as a screen name. I usually use another name, one of my own making... but I fear if i use it here people will come across my posts on this forums if they ever google for it.(as i have done many times with their nicks and real names)

Now it's your turn!

tinkergeek -- I love to tinker and play around with radios and computers, which makes me a geek. About two to three years ago, I was trying to come up with a domain name, and those two words just sort of came together.

Lava421 · 8th Apr 2005, 03:30 PM

I had to create a second computer-identity because I'm not out. This was my attempt at thinking of a cool-sounding word.

nisomer · 8th Apr 2005, 03:38 PM

yeah, i usually go by a different name online, but i am not out so my nick is my initials and birthday

TriBi · 8th Apr 2005, 04:18 PM

TriBi is for two things...

Tri - for Triathlon (used to be into the sport in a big way - no longer have time, but still run, swim and get out on the MTB now and then)
Bi - my sexuality.

goratrix · 8th Apr 2005, 11:46 PM

Hey... I have a friend that used to say that he was trisexual... and whenever anyone asked what that mean he would answer that he was willing to try everything at least once. Although I'm almost sure he already tried gay sex... And he is not my type. Anyway... I love him very much as a friend... and i'm coming out to him in about two weeks (he is with a lot of stuff the next week, and I can't take his mind off them)

Hehe...my [straight] brother always jokes and tells people that he's a bisexual... if he wants sex he has to buy it, LOL.

My name is, of course, Matt. Nothing special there.

Quasar · 10th Apr 2005, 06:35 AM

As an older member, I made a conscious decision to use my real name (and it was still available!). Unfortunately, I may have to change it to stop you all getting confused with 'Dave' (before me in this thread) when I end my messages with the name Dave!

Miaplacidus · 6th Jul 2007, 03:12 AM

well...

Miaplacidus, from the Arabic miyah meaning waters + Latin placidus meaning placid. Therefore, placid waters.

Miaplacidus is also a second magnitude star in the southern constellation of Carina (Beta Carinae), and one of the brightest in the night sky. I actually took the name from the star.
