    I was a DJ in the 90ies and needed a DJ name. I was looking for one and when I was on my way to Berlin for the Love Parade by train - already half drunk. And the we stopped in the city Jena, in the part Paradies, so the sign Spain “Jena Paradies” and I thought it was the perfect name for me as a DJ.

    Then I added another e and dropped the “last name” part and here we are with “Jeena”

    I was a bookish child and my mother used to take me to the local library weekly. On the way to the children’s section I had to pass the large print shelf. There was always this one hardback book there, The Spitting Image. It had a bizarre looking gargoyle on the cover and I used to look away so I wouldn’t have nightmares about it, but peek at it between my fingers. Every week for years the spitting image would watch me run past it to the Tintin books. Eventually I lost my fear and I could look it straight in the face. It was a goofy thing, nothing like as sinister as I first thought.

    Once upon a time the world was a magical place and I used to invent my own rituals as protection.

  • My original reddit name. It is on my 2 Guinness World Records for “Largest Online Secret Santa”.

    It means = Paramedic, guy(pig), and I did “save” two babies as a Paramedic.

    I don’t remember where my name came from but maybe it’s a variation off the NES game The Astyanax

    It’s just a name I put into a BBS when I signed up 35ish years ago and I’ve used everywhere since.

    Mine is an old Black Crusade character name. The original Xariphon was a scholar-warrior.

    It got rejected when I suggested it as a name for a Corvette class light frigate, despite it sounding awesome

    Resol = bunch of jumbled letters that are completely meaningless, but can be interpreted as either the first 5 letters of “resolution”, or the backwards spelling of “loser”

    van = Dutch word meaning “of” or “from”

    Lemmy = this is insanely obvious

    Just made that shit up. I was trying to think of something stupid that wouldn’t identify me in any personal way, and this one made me chuckle

        Well well, look who has a particularly talented nephew. If they can do such a great job, then why’d you even ask a fartographer in the first place??? Quit trying to low-ball the professionals out of the business!

    It came from a one-off inside joke with some online friends (I don’t remember the context) as PopeJoeI (Pope Joe the First). I eventually embraced it fully and changed all my online handles. At some point, Discord added crowns to server owners where it wasn’t immediately obvious who owned it and it evolved into “Pope-King Joe”.
