What is the etymology of your moniker?

Eew. That is sort of creepy how much of me is out there in the aether. It gets worse when you use my actual name...Need to start limiting my web presence I think...

Here's an interesting way to play with this thread, do a google search for your name/nick/handle and see if anything interesting shows up.

[Timstone]

Well, a friend of mine called me that before she went to Australia. The name stuck.
My Last GF hated the name and that made it more fun to use it... hehe...
She said it sounded a little bit too dead, like tombstone. A bit strange I guess, because she herself was a fanatic gothic girl. Doesn't make any sense, does it?

[tesco samoa]

tesco samoa


hmmm...

well tesco was my nickname back in the 80's

and well in university (late 80's and early 90's )I lived in a house where we put on concerts and called the place samoa. Each band that played had to play one Angry samoans cover song. As it was the only band that every one in the house had listed in their top 10 bands...

So everyone there called me tesco samoa

And in bbs days i used tesco... so back in the early 90's i updated it to tesco samoa.

Now I use it everywhere.

Also back around 93 to 96 I used to get all the email from that company called Tesco ( not the transport company in North America that we all know over here ) but the box chain in U.K. ( I believe ) I used to answer them and sign them tescosamoa. I soon discovered English people have no sence of humour

[Ragnarok]

My nickname came from FF VIII. It was the first FF game I completed from the start and the name of the ship they use towards the end of the game was called the Ragnarok.

Ragnarok also has something to do with the war of the gods at the end of the world or something like that. It is a bunch of mumbo jumbo that is just fake stories and non-related to the source of my nick.

Actually it does... You haven't lived until you call someone "Blaneyschnuckums" though

Rags: Click Here to read more about Ragnarok, Sorry, But i'm a huge fan of ancient mythology

Hahaha... great story (the part of answering letters)! LOL!!!!
English people do have humor though. Just look at John Cleese (Monthy Python, Fawlty Tower), Tommy Cooper and the English parliament.

No thanks, Biblical Mythology is rather uninteresting compared to Norse, Greek and Egyptian.

And don't think it's all Fun and Flowers. If you want I can start telling you stuff like the more censored account of Horus Vrs Sutekh, What an Ankh actually represents, The Certain accounts of debauchery the Ancient Greeks took part in and festivels that showed us that the Vikings REALLY KNEW How to have a good time.

Interesting thing is is that it is not myth... But all of that is for discussions not to take place on these forums.
