What's In a Name? - Page 2

'augen auf' is the title of a song I connected with on an intense level. It's about a game of hide n' seek with some creepy undertones. The chourus is:

"Augen auf! - ich komme!"
Which is the equivelent of "Ready or not, here I come!"

But a better translation would be "Watch out, I'm coming!"

Literally, however, it means "Eyes open - I'm coming!"

Ergo, augen auf = "eyes open," "watch out," or the first part of "ready or not, here I come!"

If that makes any sense x)

Well I think you get the "Most Creative Username" award so far, augenauf. Wow, very interesting.

I got my name because the late cat of my late daughter was a happy cat. The picture is of a look a like cat of him. Now I have two new 'happy cats'.

If I had multiple usernames, I'd never be able to log on to any forums. I can hardly remember my passwords.

Jazzy is my daughter's nickname.

Just use roboform. It is great and remembers for you. That way you can make up random letter/number combinations and not worry. (It is still a good idea to print out a backup copy in case of a problem so you can get into your sites if something bad happens.)

I wish I would have known about roboform before I got locked out of our bank account last week, lol.

ShakespearesBrother16 · #22 (**permalink**) 10-05-2008, 04:17 AM

Now, this may be a bit complicated

(1) Technically, my name is a pun on a brilliant song by the English Indie band of the 1980s, The Smiths. The song is called Shakespeare's Sister (you can see some of the lyrics in my signature) and has this very strange yet enchanting melody that I really love! Not to mention Morrissey's usual (brilliant) lyrics. Check it out on You Tube if you want!

(2) I changed it to Shakespeare's Brother because I'm not female

(3) Why did I pick this song when it isn't my favourite Smiths song? Well because of Shakespeare

I love Shakespeare and the reference to literature may have some connection with my future website!

(4) The 16 ..... this has evolved over a period of time from usernames I've had in the past. At first it was 1916, a historical reference to a rebellion we had in Ireland that year. But, I began to feel that this may be in bad taste so I just switched it to 16.
Since then, I have also made a list of the 16 Greatest People that I want to emulate in my own life. So this is a double reference of sorts.

Anyway, I also think that the name sounds kind of cool

Mines simply the initials to my name! I thought it sounded pretty cool ad decided to stick with it.

Originally, I choose alpha7 because it has biblical meaning. Now I use it on almost everything because anything you do on the web has to have a login. So instead of creating several different logins, I just use one. Mainly because my memory is bad. Plus it sounds really cool. Go ahead, say it. Doesn't it just shout "man power". (alpha7 grunts like Tim the tool man)

Unfortunately, lots of people use alpha7, so sometimes I have to ad an "a" or another number that has meaning.

It's my English name.

I actually thought you were a member of Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity to be honest.

See that's why this thread is so interesting. You learn a lot about people! Keep it going!

I chose mine because it's what I believe: abstinence is fabulous. The entire concept of my website is based upon this belief. Plus, it's self-explanatory, distinctive, and I like it

I am a weblover and that's why I kept this name.
