User names

[freakedout]

Hello everyone,

I just wondered what is the significance of your user names, I guess some are obvious and self-explanatory. I was feeling very freaked out when I first joined nmp. I have just been killing a bit of time, and feeling a bit freaked out again to be honest. I googled freak, and found this on Wikipedia

"In current usage, the word freak is usually used to refer to a person with something unusual about their appearance or behaviour. It can also denote a strong obsession with a particular activity, e.g., "He's such a neat-freak" or "You're a singing freak". The term "freaky" can also apply to a person who is sexually adventurous, or by itself as in "She's a freak in bed".

Hmmm, so what do ya think of that!!!

Freaky:winks:

[Jaco45er]

Mine is not because I am 45 and a massive Micheal Jackson fan ;).

Jaco short for Jacobite, 45 is for the year 1745 and the "ers" for the 45ers.

It is reference to the rebel Jacobites who, under the command of Bonnie Prince Charlie, led an uprising invading England (as for as Derby) and finally defeated in 1746 at Culloden in the last land battle on British soil.

"Such is the connection between 1745 and the rising in the Gaelic mindset, that the '45 is known as Bliadhna Theàrlaich (Charles' Year) in Scottish Gaelic"

His surname was Westersiel, which is my mums maiden name, but the germans pronounce their W's as V's...and as i am now living in germany i thought i'd use it!

[Lilith1980]

OK mine is a bit weird lol

My b/f likes things quite dark and occult - but only to read about or watch on TV. He's not a practising satanist! :roflmao:

We were looking through his copy of the satanic bible one evening (as you do) and there was a list of the names of the different devils, and Lilith is a female devil.

I thought the name was quite pretty so I slapped my year of birth on the end and voila!

I'm now off to sacrifice a virgin, see y'all later :shades:
