User Names!!!

so long as its not an oscar with long fins people pay big money for those kinda lips but ja all of the above

 

Vis, well in English it translate into The great wise one
I am not so great or wise but I am one, so I choose this name.

Old nickname, just by chance it also falls into the aquarium realm.

Well .... (do I have to elaborate)... my second choice would've been Griekwa... (& my very last... Bloubul!)

 

shame its not your fault not everybody can be from durban.

 

Okay, here's one for the books.
Santa Clause gave me my name!
My Dad's surname was McArony, pronounced something like Mac-Aron-Knee but usually mispronounced as Macaroni.
One year at his works Christmas party, Santa was there dishing out presents for us kids, When he called my name he, as usual, mispronounced it. When I came to get my gift, he looked at me and said, "You're too small to be a Macaroni, you're just a little Noodle!" ... and the name stuck! (Although I'm not so little anymore)

 

Awesome tattoo! I have a gecko on my shoulder

This is the coolest story ever!

Mine's a long story but I'll spare you the details.

I used to be called linkin (combo of name and step fathers surname) then it became Links, and then Linxie. Now my friends call my Linx or Linxie

 

Thanks Linxie... This was something I always wanted but said if I was going to do it it had to be something special... how ever Just a warning to any who might like to get one... it HURT!!!!


Being almost directly on the bone, very little skin there, even the Tattoo artist said she would not have it done to her, and also being on the hand I have done 5 touchups and it is still not perfect...

 

Relborg - my surname backwards ...

 

Firefly because I just like them glow-in-the-dark bugs.

 

Fishwhisperer - When i started up again with fish last year my friend fed his bolivian butterfly ram by hand other whise he wouldnt get food he was to shy to fight for it I started trying to feed my cichlids the same way and the one female was very eager to eat from my hand and before long I had the whole tank eating out my hand from swords, neons, silvertips, cory's, black widows ect

Thus the nick

 

Cool thread...
Azurekoi is an amalgamation of a coupla things....in the mid 90's i had this little 2 man pond building company - me and a Malawian guy called Funeral(kid you not...his dad was a gravedigger,hence the name....weird)...We built ponds around the Noordhoek area and did this all from my 1962 Vespa sprint,my only"company vehicle" - called ourselves Azure Aquatics(like the colour and the aliteration...) - hence the first part of the nick...
Koi,cos it's my profession(and passion,like all fish)
- azure + koi = azurekoi.....QED

Well yea now fine..... After yesterdays' game...... You see a Cheetah is an animal, & I love animals...... That is why I chose to be "Cheetah"..... Oops!! that still does not explain the flag in my avatar.......

 

What's in a NAME?

Just for fun, I thought to ask this.

Some of us have pretty straight-forward user names... for eg, mine! (probably shows lack of imagination :wacko but in case it needs some explanation, Tracy is my first name, and my surname begins with P.

But some of you have really wacky user names! Anyone care to share how you came up with yours, or explain?

 

Well, I SA Molly Breeder do not live up to my name anymore now! LOL

I would change it... if I could but it would cause confusion as to who I am. Hehe.

Good thread tracyp. Can't wait for the other answers.
