What's in a name?

[Mickactual]

My name is actually Mick.
My friends used to joke that if I ever became famous, nobody would believe it was really me online.
But I am actually the real Mick.
Truly.

 

[SouthernGirl]

Well, mine is what I am. I am true southern country girl.

Well, mine is what I am. I am true southern country girl.

That reminds me of another song...

[Florida Boy]

I also find this topic very interesting. My name is self explanatory. However, it has been years since I could be referred to as a "boy." This

Ethnic background, and what I look at in the morning mirror.

Thanks to everyone who have posted so far. Any more members care to contribute?

 

[Indelicate]

Mine is rather tongue-in-cheek. Since it generally means "crude", and most of my friends here know that is not the case, it was still a fairly random choice when I set up the account. A lot of thought was not put into it, but it stuck.

 

[Mule]

I'm a total ass.

 

[Mastur]

In the dick department too, Mule...

 

[helgaleena]

My name everywhere online is Helgaleena Healingline. I started out as Healing Line but there were too many of them and I wanted to dominate Google so I named myself hlglne for short but putting different vowels back in makes things easier and also hints at my ethnicity.

Its meaning is holy magdalen.

The original Helgaleena was a plush moose who took journeys between school classrooms around the world as an exercise in international friendship among children. It began in Norway.

 

[RalDudeHangin]

I'm in Raleigh.

I'm a dude.

And I'm hanging out . . . figuratively and at times, literally.

 

[masked_marauder]

Mine is not actually a reference to this comic character (as some may think), but rather is a combination of the names of my college and high school mascots.

(Up until recently, I had a different name, of which I was starting to tire, so I asked the admin to change it to this. Cheers.)

 

[Zeuhl34]

I'm a total ass.

But a mule is only half ass (and half horse).

Anyway, my name:
Zeuhl is a rather obscure genre of music that I enjoy, and I like the number 34.

 

[Mastur]

Zeuhl is music? Please tell us more. Origin? Instruments?

 

[joyboytoy79]

I've answered this at least once before. Here was the last time (quite some time ago, i might add... damn, i'm gettin' old!)

Anyway, the story is thus:

When i was 17, and a Junior in high school I was dating a wonderful man (wonderful, in this case, is pure sarcasm). As it happened, he was 10 years my senior. OOOooops! (I never got quite around to correcting him when he assumed i was 20). One of my good friends from school, Krystal, found it quite intriguing, and started referring to me as his "boytoy." Well, "BoyToy" stuck, and my immediate circle of friends started to call me BoyToy with regularity (in fact, i'm listed in some of my HS yearbook pictures as "BoyToy").

Some years later i was in college and ran into one of my high school friends. He couldn't quite remember my old nickname and called me "JoyBoy" by mistake. I thought it was hilarious, and the next time i saw Krystal i told her about it. She, too, was smitten with giggles, and smooshed JoyBoy together with BoyToy and thus was birthed "JoyBoyToy."

The 79, contrary to what anyone else may suggest *ignore the avatar!* is simply the year I was born.

 

[gymfresh]

Fit & clean

Also, I like working out and I can be cheeky/irreverent.

 

[gymfresh]

Pieter is a Dutch male name and Joke is a Dutch female name.

Is Joke pronounced yok-e or zhok-e?

And is Pieter a completely different name than Peet?

Your username can also suggest you have a good sense of humor.

Mine is reference to a character in a book series by John Galsworthy that I like.

In Afrikaans (my mother tongue), it also means: prime (in the prime of life), hey-day, bloom, green (nature's first green is gold)
