One more time...What's the screen name? or How do you say THAT? - Page 3

Chernabog · 03-16-2005, 01:36 PM

Chernabog.

CHUR-na-BOG. Also Cherny, Chernajoe, Cherna, Chernadog, Chernaboggled, and Cher. Do you buhhhhleve in life after love? Sometimes Churro-Bob, but only Isaac gets to call me that. Obviously from the demon in Fantasia (Night on Bald Mountain sequence). However, Chernabog is also Russian for Dark God or Black God and has lots of other connotations. I used the Disney reference, duh.

My previous nickname was hyperboy or some variation thereof but I figured I needed to drop the boy moniker once I hit 26, lol.

So I switched to Chernabog, which has been my character name on Everquest for the last 4 1/2 years. (Actually his full character name is Chernabog Astaroth.... since they look for the Star of Astoroth in Bedknobs and Broomsticks and I had to spell it different since it wouldnt let me use "Astoroth).

In Everquest I am a wizard with a little familiar named Minibog. Incidentally I drive a MINI, thus Minibog is also the name of my car. I am working on getting the MINIBOG license plate

Yes, nerdy and sick. I know, I know.

I think it's cute! I've seen some clever license plates on Minis. We'll probably buy one as our next car- they're too cute! And hubby'll let me pick the color (which of course will be Purple Haze) and we can customize it and all kinds of fun! Or we may buy a used one and get no choice.

My name? I used to sign in with scubagrrl (hubby and I scuba dive and the grrl is usage among the lesbians) but I got a little bored and it didn't seem to fit this board. So now I'm alphabassettgrrl. I am the alpha (leader) in the house, we are most definitely bassett hound people, and the grrl remains. Yes, I know, technically not correct since I'm 35 now, but hey.

"Scrooge" was a nickname given to me by a roommate years ago. In a fit worthy of Scarlett's "I'll never eat a dirty root again" speech, I was declaring that I was tired of living hand to mouth and that things were gonna change around here. It was gonna be peanut butter and crackers until I could get this mess straightened out. Although he was supportive of my new direction, he couldn't help but call me Scrooge from then on out. He still does.

It used to bother me a bit, but now that the finances are straight, I can laugh about it.

On the upside, you can always go for a swim in the money vault to cheer you up.

This was one I always wondered about. Thanks for clearing it up.

Baileykat -

Bailey is my son's name. Kat is my daughter's name...well actually her name is Kassidy...but I always wanted a daughter named Kat...but didn't want to name her Kat....nor did I want to name her Katherine or Kathy or Katy....so she's Kassidy - with a K!

And Kat is her nickname. But she's claimed as her own.

O.K., here is the geeky origin of my peculiar screen moniker.

When I purchased my first computer in 1998 it seemed only natural to buy a ton of games to go with it. One of these was Everquest. I really had no idea that the game was a MMORPG or even that such games existed, so I was suprised to find I had to go online to play it. Being totally 'new' to the internet in general this was a fairly daunting prospect. I HAD to have a cool name and it had to be obscure I decided. But what? So I racked my brains for a whole 5 minutes and decided I would paste two names of some beloved fantasy literature characters together..and viola! Dwoern(pronounced dworn) was born!(he was a wizard too btw Chernabog

)

It occurs to me that it might be interesting to see if anyone can guess them. Probably not, but I'll leave it a mystery for now if anyone cares to guess. If not, no big. I'll tell later.

Fast forward 2 years. Dwoern is a pretty prominent and powerful character in certain circles on my server(read I played way too much and had no life) and I had decided it was, indeed, a cool and obscure name. So when I found MP while researching a DLR trip that year I decided to use the name there as well. But it wasn't disney enough. So another painful 5 minutes of brain racking and I decided to paste part of a disney character name on as well. But what? Dwoernerella..no, interesting but too gender-bending. Dwoerncharming? No.. too misleading. Dwoernocchio! Now we're cooking! But not quite it. After a long list of fanta-disney names I settled on DwoernAdale. Why, besides being one of the few who like the Robin Hood movie, I don't know. I think I had some burning desire to post something at the time and just went with one. Kinda anti climactic I suppose.

So there is the overly long and boring tale of my screen name.

Heres a

for those who nodded off.
