I know you are referring to me because I have the coolest name here.

But in all honesty I cannot claim credit for it. It's a family name that goes back generations. We used to known as the O'9s in Ireland, but when they came to the States, my ancestors faced all sorts of barriers and discrimmination.

So they dropped the "O" and it's been smooth sailing ever since! (Although no one in family has yet been able to find a job confused )

The "2" just comes from the fact that I am the second child and my parents were a bunch of lazy Irish people.

GoldiesParade

avatar

Someone once said there are two types of handles on this site, one is the Prince song to show how cool they are, the other one is made of non-Prince related gobbledegook.

Mine is named after the song Goldies Parade (so Im in the kewl crowd), its from the Gold Nigga album which I bought for £50, so I thought lets take advantage of it and use a track from it to name my website (Oil Can did not sound a good for a website), so here it is. Because of the name Goldie everyone thinks Im a girl, but with that shocking monster between my legs, a girl I am not.

rainbowray

The only org or chat name i ever had..on the only chat room I've ever gone to!
This guy at work keeps telling me to change it because he is a redneck homophobe and thinks people that have a "rainbow" moniker are gay (even though he knows I'm not)!
It sounds succinct, I was immersed in "TRC" TO THE BONE at the time,and to me a rainbow stands for all people,cultures,ages,races, and nature together as one 'till the end of it...whatever "it" is..

p.s welcome aboard,fam maw. Grab the rainbow! smile

Nothinbutjoy

avatar

My .org name comes from a phrase I say when I'm down. When I'm down and tell myself "nothing but joy." It reminds me to focus on the joys in my life not the troubles.

Since I've been at the .org, many references have been made to my name coming from the song JIR. Since my hubby of 13 yrs and I still rock the casbah like we did in the begining, that works for me also.

smile
I'm firmly planted in denial

EYESEEINSIDEU

avatar

I wrote a poem entitled "Eye See Inside U", and I figured it sounded cool.

Eye See Inside U...
Eye see the amber ashes in your eyes...
Left from the spark of luv inside u...
It can't keep hidden...
And won't be contained...
This is the kind of spark
that will 4ever remain...


Not finished with it...but give me time. smile

Plus its a name that sticks out...people notice it and wanna check it out. I put in in Uppercase letters for the reason.

Also...I dont like to judge a book by its cover...I like to get to know the person inside...thats where the real u exists! wink
Eye See InsideU...
Eye see the amber ashes in your eyes...
Left from the spark of luv inside u...
It can't keep hidden...
And won't be contained...
This is the kind of spark that will 4ever remain... heart
