"That Cocheina smells awful!"

Because, after all, a rose wouldn't smell as sweet with any other name.

I was recently told by a newbie that I seem to be the leader of the forum... but he had only been on the forum for a few days. That certainly wasn't enough time to start discovering our characters properly...

So it led me to a conclusion.

In life, there is the body, and the mind.

Usually, the body works as a kind of advertisiment for the mind... which is what the person should be interested in, but I doubt many of the men here are interesting in anything less than the body... :D

But those rules, of course, don't apply here at all.

Our mind is torn straight out, and put on screen... no body to advertise for us... just raw facts of who we are...

Or is it?

The only other presense of us... is our name.

So, what IS in a name?

Does it affect peoples judgememt? Does it affect our view of them?

Obviously names like SeXi_BeIsT are going to make us weary of it's occupant mind...

Does your username make you feel more intelligent? Does it show people your real perception of yourself? WHY did you choose the name you use?

My name, I think, stands out for it's quiet absurdity, and puts the word *intelligent* straight into the naive newbies fingers, for that reason alone.

Other names, such as Meka_Dragon, and Wookiee Monster also have dominance because of their name... they are original, and long.

Also, names are a statement of ourselves as well... such as the way we dress, or our confidence of ourselves.

There is a difference between cocky, (WeLl_HuNg), and quiet confidence... mind.

a koala......we're talking to a koala.....

I can tell a lot from your spelling... :)

Seriously wrong.

Well. I guess I must be the boring one of the bunch and go for the obvious initials game.

I used to be Pablo, but as only those who know me get the reference (and those who have paid attention to my previous mails in this forum of course!) i changed it a long time ago to Pb. Well, since then Pablo has disapeared off the end of the gameaday charts and it's left for me to decide whether to stay as good ol' pb or change again. But I feel that many people now know pb and to change it would be an insult to the forum.

Or not.

I thought Coolio Santos was a football player Ant?

Ok, The Game, I'm going to try something. I'll probably completely mess this up, but hey, I'm utterly bored.

I'm going to see how much I can guess about you from just your name.

Ok.

The Game is taken from a Wrestling thing. Shows your devotion to a single subject, and your lack of imagination.
You are still in your teens, although I knew that anyway, anybody with a name connected to wrestling must, or at least should, be in their teens.
You're not the most intelligent person in class... you have "E"s on your report... you're probably better at the more physical subjects than the study type ones...
You have many friends... but some are quite fake people, and sometimes you wish you weren't around them.
You have a dog. (Betcha didn't see that coming.)
You can't draw to save your life... and your carpet in your bedroom is blue.

The characteristic of my name is very hip - hop so I am told, i think it is tacky.

I'm an Ant. Where did you think it came from???


Anyway, I usually use Coolio Santos. This came off the top off my head really. I just thought "Brazilian" and out it came.

Gonda is another I use. No idea where that came from. {:)

apoc is cool, is it after the guy from armaggeddon? I didn't think much of that film...my mate did she was gawping @ ben afleck...anyhaw I don't have a problem with apoc, it is names like Super SNES and X-Box Man that baffle me, all I ask is Why!!!???
