Talking Everyone's interesting names

Even though I've only been here for a short while,(1 month)...*posh, strict voice* it has come to my attention that some people's names are funny *end voice* (in a good way of course)
For example:
1. TwistedKitsune: Sounds like Japanese foxes have turned evil, either that or the fox has been used as a piece of moldable clay.
2. Xnguela: What is Xnguela, a place, a shop, or is it edible?
3. cannibalnuns: I'll never think of the clergy in the same way again

By the way, I'm not picking on or trying to insult anyone here, just curious about everyone's name.
Why did everyone choose their particular name? Also, feel free to make a joke up about my name, love to see people's opinions

Never thought of your name as a code, interesting.....

Such sweet irony, a person who's pure and god-like on a board like this XD (just kidding, I love making fun of stereotypes)

Mine is like this.
The Godslayer part is taken from a PS2 videogame. Has anyone played Shadow Hearts Covenant? It's really a masterpiece. I just can't describe how beautiful is the story and the cinematics. And the ending; it made me cry.
Anyway, the hero of the story is known by secret societies as The Godslayer (and he literally is!)
I loved the game so much, I decided to autodenominate myself with the same nickname (I have even thought that if I had a band, that would be its name, so the lyrics would have a theological meaning too)
Anyway, I've written too much.... I hope the Jillian part is shorter.
Why would a man call himself Jillian???
I didn't know it was a girl's name. I heard the song Jillian of Within Temptation, and simply felt a rush of adrenaline when I listened to it at top volume. I fell in love with that song.

My name's easy. I like shiny things. I had to see a counsellor once and I kept fiddling with the shiny things in his office. He told me that I had "magpie-like tendencies". I thought it sounded cool. The end

I honestly don't know where my name comes from.
I just woke up one day and it was, "Icarian Decoding". I used to have the username "Seraphic", but I changed it to... The odd thing I have today.

I amused by the fact that my name was used as an example in this thread...the first one in fact. Now to explain. Kitsune not only translates to fox but plays a large role in Japanese mythology, given that I'm a Japanese major it made sense. Foxes are also rather important to me on a spiritual level. As for the Twisted part of it, there are several different reasons for this. Firstly, I've been told on several occassions that I am a "twisted individual." Secondly, I work with wire a lot, I twist creations into being. Thirdly, to twist something can be to "distort the intended meaning of" something. Both the Kitsune and the Fox have gained different meanings for me and thus, they are twisted in my mind. I could go on about the word twisted...I won't...it's a good word though!

Actually, that was only back when hackers were paranoid about the government intercepting their e-mail, code, and/or messages via intraweb besides e-mail. (And yes a few programmers actually wrote new script to include number replacements for letters). Only during this era did hackers actually throw numbers into their name or make their alias completely numbers. Also as everyone knows why l33t speak began.

Anyways, about my name, It is slightly based on the Batman character the riddler as his name is "Mr Edward Nigma." It's really the only thing I could reference it to even though it's not the real reason I got the name. I love mysteries, riddles, abstracts, anything that isn't truly defined, anything puzzling, or logically challenging. The name itself has several meanings.

Mr E Nigma.... Mr E (sounded out is mystery) E Nigma (obviously Enigma, means mystery/riddle).

Sanctus Dei, in a sense it means "Holy God". I drew inspiration from the seven sets of Baphomet and combined Sanctus (Holy) with a prayer said by priests at mass in a set of three (the month of my birthday) Agnus Dei. The prayer is, "Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccata mundi, miserere nobis" (Lamb of God, Who takest away the sins of the world, have mercy on us)"

Ofcourse I don't consider myself a lamb of god so in efforts to boost my already flurishing ego I decided to refer to myself as "Holy God". (okay that was a lie, I just thought it sounded cool... )

My maths teacher (who is a little batty, to say the least) recently walked in on our class having a paper fight (yeah, real mature), simply screamed 'DISORDER!' then walked out and fetched the principle

And I kind of like the word...

Disorder
(dis·or·der)
a derangement or abnormality of function; a morbid physical or mental state.

Disorder, how wonderful! I love chaos!!

As I told in my introduction, my name comes straight from a scifi book End of Eternity, which I never finished and I've got no idea what the book holds in it. I've just used that name all over the net so why change? it works still.

Morrigan is (the anglicized version of) the name of the Irish Celtic goddess of war and strife and violent death. She would often appear as a raven (I love mythology. Especially the crazy, chaotic goddesses that appear in all cultures - I go by the names Artemis, Eris, and Amaterasu in other contexts).

Dubh means "Black" in the Irish language.

Sobeh is from a *long* time ago, back when I was chatting up a storm at AOL Keyword: Pagan... this would have been, oh, 1993 or 1994.

Back then, I was playing with words a lot, creating languages and that sort of thing, mostly according to this kind of free association:

I'm trying to think of an AOL name, and they're all either taken or pieces of shit. Maybe I can incorporate POS into my name, that might be possible... hmm, POSsible.... well, a Sybil is a Greek Oracle (the famous one was at Delphi), so perhaps POSsyble, which is really just a crappy fortuneteller.... PoS,CF is what I end with from that little bit of thinking, which isn't enough vowels for anything, so then I might take that 'y' from Sybil and the SP letters go together, so we can have Spy and then C,F, and o remain.... Cof? SPyCof? Well, that'd be a real lame spy, who'd get caught for sure, coughing like that...

Anyway, you get the gist. Suffice it to say, Sobeh is the result of a process like that, but I'll be damned if I can recall what started it all.
