moonchildhippy Group: Members Posts: 1807 Joined: Dec. 2004 Posted: Dec. 06 2006, 19:20 There's a few possible explanations how I came up with my name, the first could be astrological in that I was born in July under the sign of Cancer, The Moon is the ruler of the House of Cancer. Possible,yes, but I also like sitting and watching the Moon too . Could also be music related as In "Child of the Moon"  UK B side to the Rolling Stones' Jumpin' Jack Flash, or King Crimson's "Moonchild", from their "In The Court Of The Crimson King " album, one of my  favourite albums ever, Plus also I love Moonlight Shadow and Pink Floyd's Dark Side of The Moon album   , not forgetting Kevin Ayers and The Whole World's " Shooting At The Moon" album, some Great guitar from Mike on "Lunatics Lament", I'd like to hear him play another solo like that again . The hippy part to my name is a bit more obvious, as I'm a hippy , so hence Moonchildhippy. -------------- I'm going slightly mad, It finally happened, I'm slightly mad , just very slightly mad If you feel a little glum to Hergest Ridge you should come. I'm challenging  taboos surrounding mental health "Part time hippy" I'M SUPPORTING OUR SOLDIERS BRING OUR TROOPS HOME NOW!! Back to top

I really hope that's not the standard for Dutch humour hehehehe... I think you have spotted the difference between Dutch and British humour well there, because of course, in Britain we have to press someone's nose rather than pull their finger to make them fart. ;-) In OZ we most definitely pull fingers!!!!!!!!!!!!! -------------- I hate getting up early. I didn't even realise there were two 6 o'clocks in one day! Back to top

Harmono Group: Members Posts: 759 Joined: May 2005 Posted: Dec. 07 2006, 13:36 Mine comes from the words harmony and mono, which means a harmony created by only one note, a sort of paradox i came up with. ...this talk about humour in different cultures is funny(yes, I think humour is funny ). Finnish humour is very much about wearing wigs and fake beards and talking and singing with fake accents. It's true. But I prefer the British style, especially Eddie Izzard! no Finn could ever be that appealing to people everywhere, that kind of funnyness is(almost)universal. Back to top

Amongst many other things you have some wonderful painters, Vermeer, Rembrandt, Van Gogh, Mondrian, to name a few. Superb architecture too. You people seem to have such clear sight. And incidentally, I wear a bright orange (& I mean bright) jacket cycling to work every day and that feels very 'Dutch' !!!! -------------- ....second to the right and straight on till morning....

Sweetpea Group: Members Posts: 1476 Joined: April 2007 Posted: Aug. 04 2007, 01:03 I'd always liked the "Sweetpea Knotwise" that a Hobbit-name generator once spat out at me. I must've been distracted when setting up my account, though, since I ended up with a less than floral moniker! -------------- "I'm no physicist, but technically couldn't Mike both be with the horse and be flying through space at the same time?

Moz Group: Musicians Posts: 600 Joined: July 2005 Posted: Aug. 04 2007, 04:54 I started using the name "Moz" when I switched from Internet Explorer to Mozilla as my main web browser.  Now I use Firefox, although that "Moz" still applies as its full name is "Mozilla Firefox". -------------- Twitter: @benbarden Back to top

Velodynamic Group: Members Posts: 119 Joined: June 2006 Posted: Aug. 04 2007, 09:44 I woke up one day and was in a very dynamic mood. Bicycles has always been fascinating me and I was very "active" exercising with my road race bicycle back then. I was listening much to Kraftwerk's Tour de France album, specially the track Aéro Dynamik and the Jean Michel Jarre album AERO had just been newly released. Everything got mixed up together and became what it is...but you can also call me Velo.   -------------- "...I've never seen a connection between music and politics.

Moonwing_Shadow Group: Members Posts: 69 Joined: Jan. 2006 Posted: Aug. 04 2007, 10:10 Well, I usually use the name 'Jett Moonwing', in fact, I used to role-play as a dragon (I know, I'm weird ) and that was my dragon name. So when I join here, I used 'Moonwing' instead of 'Moonlight (Shadow)' So it's partly related to Mike but in a more personal way. -------------- I'd rather be on Dragonback Back to top

MikeAholic Group: Members Posts: 205 Joined: Sep. 2005 Posted: Aug. 05 2007, 12:22 I need my portion of Mike's Music every week - that's why I choose as name : MikeAholic. And, no, I don't want to go to the AMA meetings. I want to stay hooked forever   AMA = Anonymous Mikes-music Appreciators  . -------------- I sure hope that Mike realises what joy he brings to us !

raven4x4x Group: Members Posts: 1535 Joined: Jan. 2002 Posted: Aug. 17 2007, 07:27 Mine came from when I made my first Hotmail acount. Raven was one of the characters in the old computer game  One Must Fall 2097, but Raven was already taken as a name, so I added 4x4x onto the end of it. That must have been seven or eight years ago, but I've been using it ever since. -------------- Thank-you for helping us help you help us all. Back to top

For me, that's the interesting question regarding your name. What on earth is that "4x4x", why that and not e.g. "16"? -------------- If I were music, I would be Enigmatism. Back to top

I guess I just needed something that I no-one else would have used already... There is no special significance as far as I can remember. -------------- Thank-you for helping us help you help us all.

Ignoring the last 'x', I thought it might be referencing a wooden plank, as in 'speak softly and carry a big stick', but then I realized that would be a 2x4. -------------- "I'm no physicist, but technically couldn't Mike both be with the horse and be flying through space at the same time?
