Nicknames

[Aardie]

Heh - mine is an interesting story.

Originally, my online name was Laelyan because, hey, I liked the spelling. However, no one knew how to spell it or pronounce it. It was actually quite embarrassing!

While all of these trials and tribulations were going on, I was sitting up with a friend one night and we were trying to come up with stupid catch phrases. Like "If the world is your oyster, I think I'll be sick!" and "Give a gift: Kiss an Asgard!". This was where the idea of "Get In Touch With Your Inner Aardvark" came up, and I jumped on the bandwagon.

I had joined AussieSJ over on Yahoo!Groups and once again people were going "Laylan" or "Laeyan" or something along those lines. I decided to use the opportunity to re-christen myself. That's where the Ceremonial Bowl of Blue Jello was first used. I decided to call myself Aardvark because it was wacky and wierd and that was pretty much who I was by that point.

People then decided that Aardvark was too long a name, and shortened it to Aardie. So I have been Aardie ever since. Then in another group they call me Aard or AardBob. Alli once called me Aa. Pretty soon, my name is going to be just a mental projection without sound. Seriously - Aa? Lazy!!!

But even in real life, a lot of people call me Aardie now. It's who I am - Aardie the Bizarre Flute Chick. I talk to people's moms on the phone and they ask "Is that you, Aardie?" It's cute! lol!

But remember people - It's Aardie. With TWO A's. I know an Ardie with one A and she has no sense of humour whatsoever....

I've been waiting for you to say something like that ever since I saw that this thread had been revived

Well I just use my own name on here (shows my imagination) but at Uni my nickname is Beano. I got it because a few people think that I look like Mr Bean and its stuck. It's also the nicest nickname I've ever had.

Wow - look at all these fantastic stories about name inspiration...pretty soon the celebrities (who are also scifi lovers) will be tributing our nicknames I am sure. Look out for it, we have Apple today, and tomorrow it could be Aardie (2 A's , Nekhen, Jackers....

I shall probably raise my eyebrows if I ever meet a Martouf, or a Raptor or a Gatecon....(but then I will also have very fond memories...)

Greetings from an old friend! Do any of you guys remember me?

Well, my screen name, Squire, is the last name of one of my fave guitarists, John Squire, from the Stone Roses and The Seahorses.
So yeah, thats my un-interesting story.

I have loads of real life nicknames, such as Sixx (coz my idol is Nikki Sixx from Motley Crue, and apparently I look like him, woohoo!) , or Jes (seeing as my name is, erm, Jesekah lol) or Kwah (a friend at work thought this one up, dont ask me how or why!) LOL

So yeah.

Cheers all!
