What does your profile name mean?
I have noticed a lot of people have thought about their profile name carefully and cleverly (I applaud their adroitness). I would like you know what does your profile name mean? It could be a character from a film/book, a god/ess, a king/queen, fantasy etc….. I am Dhampir, which means, I was born of a mortal mother, I am half human, half vampire. Naturally inquisitive and constantly fighting the instincts of a blood-thirsty beast always lurking below the surface (not very well)
my name clearly states Empress of darkness, born half pure blood but i live with a fuckin mortal family...
wow, impressive ,dhampir. That is very creative. I like the thread; lets hope it sticks.
de·i·ty ( P ) Pronunciation Key (d-t, d-)

no, i dont have delusions of grandeur. I just like the divine nature of indivuals and things.
my name signifies that i am but a fragment of my formerself a mere apparition of the knight i used to be
Mine's a kind of liquer that I saw in a pub once and have seen in bottle stores, I thought it sounded fancy, and the actual drink itself looks really tempting. Apparently it tastes weird but I have yet to try it.
My name is pretty self-explaintory....
I was given the nick name Dami in HS and it's stuck all these years....
And a good friend of mine and I used to write together... In my Journal you will find a poem titled "Hell Child"
hence the name HellChildDami....
well...some of the definitions of jaded is to become weary or spiritless, or worn out, rendered insensitive...bored, cynically or pretentiously callous..this is how i feel..i just added an N at the end..
"Stragella" Vampyre of the Sea who prays on sailors while they are at sea ..from modern literature
Oo la la indeed.. This is making for some great reading....... Very interesting...
*brain * actually stimulated by the thought of this thread, I'll be reading..
Good choice D..
my name is very simple and plain
odd for what i am at heart
grl meaning i am a female
and 666 one of my favorite numbers
see very simple and plain
*smiles*
thank you Empress.
=)
you and i relate on this topic. lol...we're both DARK!
*giggles*
I chose My Wiccan name for my profile name. the full name is Artemisia Luniferum.
Is an explanation really even necessary for mine?
If so....
Toilet Cleaner.
However... the story behind it, back when I first started getting online, around '95 or so, I was trying to find a username for an old html-based chat room. Everything I was thinking of was already taken, and I started getting frustrated. Then a commercial for Toilet Duck toilet cleaner came on TV. The ones with the little duck in a tank or airplane. Inspiration. It's stuck ever since. Undernet cut the nick down to 9 characters before they changed it, which is why the k started getting left off. Which once again, stuck.
AnTaNia999
well Antania is my real name which means enemy of mankind, and then i put 999 which is the opposite of 666 :D nothing overally special about the number, more so my name
when i had my name as mysticohl, it was because i am mystical, and it combined that and my name. when my account was having problems, i used my name. i use mysticohl all over the net, but rarely use Jamie. the rave is my coming out....haha...
simply the shortened version of a fantasy characters family name.....
D'aermon N'ashezd'baernon
yup i'm a gamer geek
its fucked up and drunk.... i dont do drugs anymore but the name fallows me.. so i use it..
Lorandel is elven name... I tried to translate it and it means something like "born in sleepy century"... I think original sounds better. :)))
The meaning lost now, it once meant "one abandoned by the Mother and reared by hand".
It's short for Cadence...
LoL ToiletDuc (or as we call him TD) I've asked him that before... love it
And yes, have known TD since 96 myself!
Now for my name More-Ish
When you have something that is more that what you describe, you call it Moreish (or Moorish there are a few variations)
I am 189cm Tall (6'2"+) So I am more than tall
When I was younger, at a club a man called me Moreish, and my friends felt it was befitting.
Hence, I am Moreish - Or Mistress Moreish depending on how much you pay me >:)
Banshee,or you may call it Banshi or Benshee is the ne of the household spirits of certain Scottish Highland or Irish families, supposedly a female creature that is said to wail at or before the death of a family member. I just felt it fits me a long time ago.
*Dhampir tnx for reminding me,i forgot to put something about it in my pro...
Mine comes from an old Kung-fu movie I own. Its based on the Monk called Tang, of the Wu-tang(dong) style of kung fu I teach and study. ^_^ Among the may diffrent styles I know lol
Um...it's my name. How's that for fancy and mysterious?
i needed a new hotmail account, because my other one was full of spam. was feeling kinda depressed (surprise surprise), and this was the best original name i could come up with.
it kinda describes me. dark black mind. living in corners so that i don't get noticed.
Loki~ Norse god of mischief. He is also known as the boundry breaker, or the boundries themselves. He has helped Odin and the other gods create peace, after he causes mischief and mayhem.
Great idea for a thread Dhampir... the name 'Echo' is often misconstrued... people think I mean 'an' echo. I dont. Im taking from mythology, and the 'Myth Of Narcissus' Echo is a nympth from the Myth who gets the 'higher powers' to curse Narcissus... if anyone is interested in the myth the please look at the first paragraph of my profile, its all explained.
Glad that I can explain myself! x x
that pic of Khayman was MASSIVE till Dan got a hold of it. You rock. rofl
BloodOfDarkRain, too meanings. One would be, probably a little obvious, the dark color in a rain of blood. Second, a pair of V:TM character's by the names Dante and Azrael Darkraine.
The name Maharja is “representative” and is taken from a screenplay I am writing; the origin of Maharja is Idian and is where the screenplay takes place, within the screenplay Maharja is a "representative" of the damned (cursed). It shall question the origins and the myths of vampyr as we know of them today and will expand through centuries of scriptuures.
Well most excellent thread hers my 2 pence
Chaos:Well its fun when you can do it you know disobey the rules stay out late e.t.c and generally jus have fun and well cause Chaos
Bleed:Well if you don't know by now you really shouldn't be here lol
Mine name means several things.....
Phoenix- The bird of fire that dies every 500 years to be reborn; signifying change, transformation.
I am the Phoenix because I was once at the very edge of my life, with ex friends and what-not, and changed completely around.
Tempest- Storm
I took the last name of another Vampire, a leader if a clan near me. I broke off from these friends a long time ago as well, and this lets them know I am around.
The name Phoenix Tempest fits me.
Emaerald is the Celtic way of spelling of Emerald.. I wear it because I am Celtic and live in the land of Green and I like it!!
"Lilian" comes from the losely translatted "Lilitu" or from deeper "Lilith" I using it a few years ago when Elderdaniel and I met, I would've changed it by now, but it's stuck.
Well I think it's safe to say for those who know me, know the reason behind my name. I am my lover's 'pet'. Pixie is the nickname of her for me, so when I set up, it was my first thought.
~p
My name means just what it says-VampyOne. I have been a vamp in past lives, and am one now. All my friends call me vampychick or vampyone, so it kinda stuck.
Mine is my wiccan name:
Lavender to symbolise my feminine and gentle side.
Dragon to symbolise my darker and stronger side.
Yes i guess i do have a bit a of a Jeckle and Hyde thing going on!!! xx
Thank you! They feel comfortable to me, i meditated for quite a while before they came to me! X
My name is shortened from a name i've had for years.
My original name was not original at all. "madman_135" crap huh?
I fancied a change, my life had been a bit more meaning full and i needed something new and a bit more ME.
I decided that it needed "The" let's face it, anything with "The" in it's name sounds a lot more important than it really is. how could i resist?
"Gore" came from what i liked at the time. I was very much into Gorey games and violence.
"Master" was a word that came to my head quickly and nicely fitted on the end.
"The Gore Master" has been my internet alias for several years. Sadly, i wasn't allowed spaces, underscores or dashes :( so i had to go with "Gorey" on here. which is what i was known as on another forum where i was seen as more friendly than my name suggests
(and breath)
done :D
Nice Tread...
so now to my Name : UNTOT its not so creativ just the German Word for Undead... wich has 2 Meanings for me
a) not Dead - so alive
b) not realy Dead-so imortal
FangsofSteele...
well this came from many things...
my sister and I...after we dropped our baby second incisers (the two teeth after your front teeth) the teeth that grew out were literally fangs. My mother both my sister and mine pulled out.
But then my canines were still very fang like and from the two stupid gaps I was able to bite down and the two canines came forward on my lip just like vampire fangs...
I had braces and the teeth were pulled forward and now my canines are in the place of my second incisors and my pre molars (which litterally are fangs) are in the place of my canines...so I've got natural fangs :P
So I've always has the nickname 'Fangs'
of steele...
I'm a big type o fan...Peter steele...
This name can also be veiwed as Fangs of Steel...because...
so now you know about my dental history and my nickname :p
~smiles~ Okay I'll bite on this thread since I haven't posted in awhile. How I came up with my name... well Countess.. I thought of Countess after Elizabeth Bathory... Moon is part of my screenanme from AOL.. Plus I live life under the moon. Darkness is the best time for me.. The time I am more at ease and comfortable is under the moons... CountessMoon
My profile name Woock is a transfiguration of my name on english from native language of the Serbs,which is Vuk,and it means wolf...
Well LadyBlood was the nickname I chose about 6 years ago, and though I just used to think it described me as a person, some people say the way i walk and act is very queen like & Blood because I like the taste of it and the energy it leaves within my limbs. Also as time went by I came to realise that my spirit is exactly this, a queen or Lady that is of Vampiric descent, herself a vampire.
Thank you all for the wonderful replies. Extremely interesting names and some with a wry smile... keep them comming!
Tili was given to me by a friend when we were playing some rpg I couldn't think of a neato name and he gave me TILI. . .
I am a dreamer in ever way, thus comes Tilizdreamz.
Tho its origanated from Tili Vapor.
Vapor was given to me by my cousin, while we were playing an online rpg. . . my character needed a last name
so I chose my cousins characters last name... so there thats a boring story.
† >font size="4" face="Parade"> :Check my profile for my full story behind my name: † (or if you just need to have some laughter in your life)
(opps)
† :Check my profile for my full story behind my name: † (or if you just need to have some laughter in your life)
I also forgot to mention that Khayman was Akashas personal body guard and aside from her husband/king Enkil, he was the first Vampire ever Turned by her.
He is many thousands of years old.
So... when I bitch and moan about this and that chalk it up to old age.
cool topic!! very good! =)
Well, I got my name from (where else?) Blackwood Farm...in which Petronia (the hermaphrodite maker of Quinn or Tarquin) said (pointing to the bottles filled with blood) "They're all for YOU King Tarquin." and also King Tarquin is the [if I'm not mistaken] 7th (last) and most powerful King of Rome...
cool huh?
=P
Lovely story about the name there Tarquin, you did your research there ;-)
My name was given to me after a battle i was in, i was told i looked as if i had bathed in their blood and that i live puddles of my victims blood in my wake.
thank you Ech dear! oh well, I read a lot! and hey! I fell "in love" with Blackwood Farm! and hey! I know you would too! =)
*giggles* haven't spoken to you since I was a little whelp Tarquin.
well the 12 in my name stands for my 12 closes friends cause they are all thought of as angels at school or by other pple and 27 represents me because my bday is on january 27 and if i were to tell somebody i was an angel theyd know right off it was a lie hehe but yeah thats me
Those of you who have checked out my profile more then likely already know why i have my name, but to those who havent..Suicide is my cat, the one in the picture whom i love dearly, she got her name because when she was much littler she had no fear, she would jump off of anything at just about any height , so i called her suicide...an lets not leave out ive flirted with death before a few times anyway. but She is the real reason i have the name.
The beauty of this post is how people are Inspired. It's wonderful to read the most intresting replies. I just love to hear the sounds made when reading these...
I love to be responsible for many
Ooh's and Ah's .. *grins*
ahhhhhhh!!! how did sex get in the picture?? :PPPPPP
LOL echo dear!! well you're a shade now!! hehehe!!
Anymore inspiration for their names?
I choose the name amalia because it also is my artist name, I sign all my poems with amalia riddle. Riddle because life, death is all about riddles the truth never revealed. I don't have a good reason why I choose amalia, it was the first thing that popped into my head when I wrote my first poem and people called me amalia ever since.
Well let's see,some of mine is easy some is hard.
Pandora-many know of the myth and many who know more about me know how it applies to me.
It is also my chosen wiccan name which was also my mother's middle name and will be my daughter's as well.
23_2000 -this is easy...i like Jordan when he was playing
The age i was when i singed up and the year.
Oni from japan. ONI is good of misfortune, and storm. and if i wish for rain it will rain..........
24 - my number.
24.2 Matej
24.9 birthday
24. in class book
24..........
..............
... I chose madeline because that is my favorite name, I didn't really think about it to much, for those of you who don't know, my name is sadly, Alyssa, but on here I'm Madeline.
requiem (mass) noun
1) a mass (= Christian religious ceremony) at which people honour and pray for a dead person
2) a piece of music written for this ceremony
******
A requiem is one of my favourite sacred or liturgical musical forms. I find it fascinating, intoxicating, unutterably lovely that so much effort and passion has gone into creating something lovely for the dead.
It is hard for me to choose between my favourite three requiems; they are so disparate. They are by Mozart, Verdi and Brahms, respectively.
I have also been working on writing my own requiem, on and off, for the past ... what, 11 or 12 years?
Mine.... Bound By Blood.... Means as it says.... I am bound with my "sire" by blood... each of our blood mixing together... And i hope to be bound by blood with my one and only... who ever that might be . oO;
Cyprean is a shortened form of Cypreanus,our house founders name.His full name was Costantine Cypreanus.
Carpe Nocte
my name as you can tell is demonschild, i was born to a mortal mother and a demon father. i am told somedays that i live up to the title. and the 66669 are just two of my favorite numbers
my name is me delitghtfully morbid and that plain and simple other wise known as MorbidDelite aka morbid1
my name redeemer means savior of many but punisher to some unless they change their unwicked ways tee hee
My name WhiteFlameVamp.. well I can't really say why I chose this name. I wanted something unique when I first started getting online and chatting. So this is what I chose. or rather did it chose me?..
LoveBytes
well... very self explanatory. apart from this being something i love to do there is also a story to it.
i am born with a huge byte mark on the lower right side of my neck. very visible and by now i am used to those curious glances and smirks during conversations.
earlier i used to go with the name LoveBites, and one rejected-dumped-drunk night i decided to add some unemotional adjective to it and changed it to Bytes.
Love is emotional and 'byte' a very rigid technical term and i like the play inbetween them. adds some interesting element in there.
what do u think?
::looks up:: yeah you're right fazed, I don't like the drugs the drugs like me ::smiles::
this is a good topic, my name comes from my old band that left me hanging in iraq by signing a contract. thus they changed there name cause it was mine. Forrestall just sounded really awesome for us. they are now called guilty by design but who cares right. thats how i got my name.
mordes
latin = to vex, to bite, to sting
german= murder
and is death or murder in a few other languages
but that's not the reason why it is my nick....
back in my early irc days I used rage but then again so did everyone else.... so I held a contest in #avedementia to name the doofus (Ie me) and mordes was the winner. I think both I and the world at large has benifited from the change..... cause for something to be vexxing it has to have at least a little staying power.... and well a rage washes over one....
rabd/rabid = means i foam at the mouth a lot. really should get that checked out.
squid - one with tentacles. i love tentacled things, with suckers.
mine mean blackdragon its japenese h**l people i hate to say this butim actally not thirsty yet today thats wierd
Squid, I thought there was always foamy stuff dripping from your mouth (not that you were rabid), hence the Rabid prefix.
Woot woo... we get to see The Boss's semi naked bod hehehe J/K couldn't resist ... is that hair I see growing on y'r head or just shadows >;^}
Ok back to the thread, sorry Dhampir...didn't mean to side track....
Well you already know about my name so I'll shut up now...
Good thread Dhampir..well thought up... mine is basically the name I gave to a vampiric character I thought up when I was much younger which grew into my alter ego..believe it or not it's so entwined in me nowdays that peope call me with my name during the day & with this name by night...
DarkLight Represents my tendancy to turn away from the Sun, high voltage lamps, anything with excessive heat, or light, i shun..
My Mother had the same problem.. She, a Vampire, married my father, a human.. sadly, she died before she could teach me about my heritage..
To me, Darklight means that if Light was Dark, i would nae shun it.. as, i am comfortable in under a cover of Blackness, ie, black sky, dark rooms, etc.
So, thats what DarkLight means.
synthetic: means man made, meaning that i've been crafted by the cruelty of man ect
darkness: this cruelty drove me to darkness, away from those who made me
thus syntheticdarkness
hahahahha! nakey Prince! :PPP
hmmm..so that's where you derived your name from..cool! and not to mention the tat!
mine means what i used to be, i used to be a goodgirl but now i'm a bad girl.
mine came from the time of the day where i myself find the most beauty
hahahah! that's why I love this place...lots of people giggles! :PP
Cancer,
i'm trying to cut down on the foamy stuff. it was giving me an ulcer. although i do remember foamy stuff around your mouth on a few occassions. hmmm.
my profilename is just because i am a vampire and i like 6666 but the name i mostly use is vampy shadow vampy 'cause some of my friends call gave me that name, and shadow 'cause other friends gave me that name
Hmmm now let me think ....what does 'Sunshine' mean ????
*giggles*
My name is like my poetry, it doesnt make sense to "normal" people.
Osage= Beholder of the Torch
Laven= Dark and Alone
I follow my torch into darkness
Well my name is not so complicated, as we all know, we are all kin, and thus I'm the brethren of all that are here and we are all one family, we come from the same blood line, the same family, were are as ONE, and also I was given the nickname Sneakin Deacon by an old man who me and Demonschild66669 use to steal from lol, Demon's nickname was Ragin' Reverend and thus mine was sneakin deacon so it all plays a part, and also as My dear friend Stragella posted in the thread The best names on VR, She said we are all kindred to one another and as I take from my story in my journal, For what is more sweet or tasteful than the blood of your friends, your lovers, and your kin…Nothing.
DeathIsBecoming:
I don't think this needs to be explained, but everyone else explained theirs so here i go
it more or less means the seduction that death stands for, and not just death as in end of life, but tarot (think i spelt it right) death standing for change.
when i came up with it i was tired, depressed, and feeling very alone.
if anyone wants to they can call me Nora, it is my name backwards minus an "A" and it means hope and light or something kind of ironic but hey i have had it stuck for well over a year
This thread has been a very interesting read, it shows a lot of insight on the people behind the names :)
Some of you guys I already know, some I haven 't had the opportunity to talk to yet...
So, my name, NosferatuNictuku......
Nosferatu:
I have been an avid roleplayer of VtM wayback since 1995, and the clan I have been most comfortable with, are the Nosferatu. I just fell in love with their grotesqueness, and also the the way they stand out, which makes them so alien to look upon.
I revile in their philosphy that nothing is what it seems, and beauty is only skin-deep.
Nictuku:
Aaaaahhhh......the difficult part......
Well, basically, all enshrouded and their names whispered, the Nictuku are hunters within their own clan; the first childer of Nosferatu himself, sent by him to hunt all other spawn so as to reconcile with the Father of all vampires and maybe lift the curse inflicted upon his visage.....
Both of these put together, for me they possess a meaning.......
All this time I have been "hunting" and searching for the one person who will lift my "mask" and accept me for who and what I am.....monster and all.....
Well my name is nothing special I mean come on devilman?=It means when I'm gittin down in the back seat and the young lady is playing odis redy( I think I spelled that right) I got leather strip playing in my head! LMAO! I got to go!
Thanks! She already smacked me in the head for writting it to.
Kitty is my name, not short for anything, just Kitty. It's taken on so many meanings, partly due to my reflexes and senses, also because I seem like I have 9 lives. I've had a few near death experiences, but I believe I've got 4 lives left.
My friends joke with my partners to beware of my kisses, that they're full of poison. Also, one of my near death experiences was with rat poison.
13 is just my lucky number.
~Kitty
Blessed be to all of thee
Watch yourself, mammacita...
I'm about 8,000 years old here.
I get to do what I damn well pleae at this point....
:: smirk ::
my name in all its simplicity is just that simple it shows my childish demon side the xtra *"D"* however refers to my hate for everything, it *dominats*
My name is to signify my lust for vengence, and a life of Slaying any who stand in the way of what I deserve..." a normal life "
my name isnt very creative but :The word Vampyr came into English language in 1732 via an English translation of a German report of a much publicized vampire staking in Serbia.
There is no name at all just a usage, as it is older than the spoken word and strikes fear in the heart of those unaware. There is no name for what I am or what I can do.
My name is an Arabic word meaning princess. I have many friends form the Middle East and they started calling me that, It stuck so there you go... :)
My awakening helped inspire my name ... I have embraced the dark in me and my practice of conjuoring ... well it just fit ... I am happy with it ...
