What do your usernames mean?

Sarika

New member
I got my user name Sarika when i first started joining forums.
I simply combined my two given names Sally Erika together and got Sarika.
Although Sarika is actually a Arabic or even Hebrew name as well.

My full name is Sally Erika Höllwarth

Höllwarth is a Austrian name and the two dots above the 'o' is called an umlaut which basically means :
Linguistics noun a mark ( ¨ ) used over a vowel, as in German or Hungarian, to indicate a different vowel quality, usually fronting or rounding. • (esp. in Germanic languages) the process by which a back vowel becomes front in the context of another front vowel, resulting, e.g., in the differences between modern German Mann and Männer or (after loss of the inflection) English man and men.

Or sometimes it may be spelt Hoellwarth for the long version, and it will be the same pronounciation.:)

Goodeknight

New member
Well, goodeknight is a homonym. You can take it as either Goode (old English spelling) Knight, or "good night."

It was used in a few Schultz cartoons featuring Snoopy as a knight, and I liked it as soon as I saw it.

Moedred

In Excalibur (1981) and the Prince Valiant sunday comic, Mordred was the creepy kid with the gold mask. In Arthurian legend, Mordred and Arthur's knights met on the Field of Camlann to negotiate, which was going well until a snake bit someone, who drew his sword, as did everyone, and everyone died.

The final chapters of Tom Clancy's Sum of All Fears are Field of Calman, Asp and Sword, and Revenge of Moedred. When the crisis is over, the President settles for nuking the next likely suspect, Iran, but the chain of command is dead on down to Jack Ryan, who refuses to read his launch codes. So in a clever twist, the US president and not the Soviet president is Mordred.

When I joined the Raven I did not know the forthcoming movie would omit this element, or that the Indy 4 would provide a fitting icon, or that so many mods would bear the names of villains and I would be among them.

The Drifter

New member
- I wrote a tune called "Lonesome Drifter".

- One of my favorite songs feature the following lines, Now this drifter's world goes 'round and 'round
And I doubt that it's ever gonna stop


- I had a typo when I first registered here (yes, I am aware of the mispelling of my username), but I've grown so used to it that I never bothered to get it changed.
 

InexorableTash

Active member
For a while in the early '90s I ran a TinyMUSH (text-based online virtual world with user generated content, focused on social interaction rather than combat) based on Narnia (no, I'm not religious... I was totally oblivious to overtones when I read the stories as a child).

The administrative accounts were based on the powerful supernatural entities from the books, either as shared accounts (for special role-play events) or for general admin work (and out-of-character chatting). I used Tash, god of the Calormene, who was often referred to in phrases like "Tash, the irrefutable", "Tash, the inexorable", etc.

About a decade later, when I needed a unique account name for some Internet service, "tash" was taken so I went for a variant. Apart from a few memories of good times 20 years ago, the name doesn't have deep significance to my life. However, it's unique on the Internet (unlike my real name, which is also shared by a famous performer!) so I tend to use it pretty much everywhere.
 

michael

Well-known member
Obviously it's my name.

But there is a slight reason for the lowercase 'm'

Back when I was signing up, I couldn't for the life of my come up with a decent username (atleast anything that I was happy with), and at the time I joined, there was a frequent poster named Michael24. I decided to go all lowercases to sorta, stand out.

I do like when people respond to me in a thread write 'michael.' By all means, you can capitalize that M if you'd like.

The more you knooow.
 

Dig Site 1138

New member
The name of the ice cream stand outside the Indiana Jones Stunt Spectacular at Disney MGM Studios in Orlando, FL. Technically, it's "Dip Site 1138" since there is a "p" is painted over top of the "G". (y)

(This is not a picture of anyone I know)

My wife and I went to Walt Disney World for our honeymoon (and several times since).

Of course, (do I even have to explain?):confused: the 1138 part of Dig (Dip) Site 1138 comes from Lucas' student film THX1138.

And since I have now entered the world of amateur archaeology a reference to an Indy-related dig seemed cool.
