Names on SpanishDict :D

Question

There are quite a few people with interesting screen names on this site. I know some people have a reason behind most of their names, or if it really is their given name...I would like for anyone who sees this question to put down what their screen name means or where they came up with it (If you don't think yours is interesting enough, that is fine...)

Mine, which is sarahjs, is merely composed of my first name (Sarah) my middle initial (Which stands for Jean) and my last name's initial (And I'm serious about my last name, which is Schleicher, pronounced Shlyker...)

And for those who might ask, because someone always does, yes Schleicher is German. :D

• Nice question! :-) - chaparrito Jan 7, 2010

Answer 1

Aloshek is a combination of two Greek words. "Alos" comes from the word "allos" meaning different and "ek" means origin. Therefore, the whole name means different origin or, in other words, new beginning.

I added the "h" because I prefer the soft "sh" sound to the hard "s" sound.

This name, for me, has many personal meanings and is a constant reminder that there is always an opportunity to start over, to let go of mistakes. I guess, in a way, it is a message of hope that I feel I have a responsibility to carry into the world.

• Yours was definetly one of the ones that I really wanted to know about. That's cool :D - sarahjs Jan 7, 2010

Answer 6

Well my name is anne - but the number 4? Well there's a story there...

I have this strange affinity with the number four, especially when it is written in the old-fashioned way...so hence my name for spanishdict "4annie" or maybe it's 'for annie'. As well my favourite (other) planet is Jupiter and I recently found out that the symbol for Jupiter is like a fancy "4". And so as well as the number "4" I like to keep my eye on Jupiter.....

• Ahhh...cool, I have a strange affinity for the number 8 - mathematically the symbol for infinity. - aloshek Jan 6, 2010
• Personally for me the number 0, there are soooo many uses for it, like the top and bottom of the number 8 - nate12332 Jan 7, 2010
