What does your screenname mean? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

aelithes · 01-28-2005, 05:09 PM

My screenname is rather nerdy, really. It's actually a word from my own constructed language - the nominative singular of the word for moon (pronounced EYE-thee-lace, with the th as in 'thick', not as in 'the'). I chose it simply because it's pretty (in my humble opinion!).

Neurion, is your real name Jacob (meaning 'supplanter' or 'successor')??

Close. It's James, the anglicized version of Jaime, the spanish form of Jacob.

Well, you can just ignore the title in bold ... Anyway, If you are brushed up on your ancient egyptian culture and religion you will know what "Ka" means. If you know this, you can understand why i put "THE" in bold

I was wondering if you were doing the Egyptian thing THE Ka, and I like saying your name in posts, THE Ka. Hehe, it's like The Cheat.
Ku, Ku, Ku!

My given name is Shannon. Feel special my fellow posters I don't reveal it to just any internet soul. It's the biggest River in Ireland and it means "Old One". My parents probably didn't know this, but I like it.

Ainaserkewen (Eye-Na-Serk-a-wen) from the name generator, means Maiden of the Holy Blood. I've always like the idea of being a kind of Merovingian when it came to heritage. I'm not, but I like to think I am.

Okay, doing it the search engine way, is this The Cheat???

...Who's trogdor? I keep seeing 'Trogdor' next to the fat little peep...

I don't like it.

Ka, go to www.homestarrunner.com and all your questions shall be answered, if you dig deep enough...

THE Ka · 01-28-2005, 07:24 PM

...Okay....

The Cheats...Well, I like his bust of Van Buren.

Mix me with a Marzipan and The Cheat and you'll come across a Ka.

They are... Interesting. I guess.

My user name is a name of an constellation (according to Silma) but I dunno of which constellation. :S

Encaitare · 01-29-2005, 01:28 PM

Oh, how I love an excuse to do dorky research! It means "Eagle of the West"; according to the Encyclopedia of Arda article about it, it is possibly the constellation Aquila, the Eagle. Information on that hither.

Ka I always thought that your name was from the movie " A fish called Wanda" (Monty Python), where the guy kept saying "the ka, the ka" but he couldn't say anything past that. I suppose I was mistaken.

Roughly translated it means I go around everywhere bouncing a Tennis Ball.

I can provide a more accurate translation if anyone desires.
