Don't Judge a Book by its Username

Don't Judge a Book by its Username

This question is similar to my previous question Avatars Are All Around. I now know why many of you chose your avatar pictures, but I've seen many Usernames that leave me clueless (which is nothing new...)

I would like to know why you chose the Username that you chose. Please post in Spanish and English so that everyone can understand. I'll start off...

My Username, HCA Student, is chosen because HCA is an abbreviation of Heritage Christian Academy.

Mi nombre de usuario, estudiante de HCA, es elegido porque HCA es una abreviatura de Heritage Christian Academy.

La historia tras el mio es media envuelta: Hay un pájaro que vive por el área del Caribe que se llama el Julián Chiví, el mismo que sale en la canción "Los Pajaritos" por Juan Luis Guerra y aparte Julián es mi verdadero nombre paterno. Lo que es más, en México muchas veces damos el apodo Chivis (sin tilde) a las chicas que se llaman Silvia. El fin.

The history behind mine is a little convoluted: There is a bird that lives around the area of the Carribean that is called the Julián Chiví, the same one that is in the song "Los Pajaritos" by Juan Luis Guerra and besides Julián is my true paternal name. What´s more, in Mexico many times we give the nickname Chivis (without tilde) to girls who are called Silvia. The End.

That explanation leaves me with more questions :-) - 0095ca4c, Jan 21, 2014
Margherite, no puedo imaginar cuáles preguntas de más, ja ja. Denny, ten en cuenta que "nombre" es el primer/segundo nombre de alguien y "apellido" denota la familia - 005faa61, Jan 22, 2014
Siempre estoy tan confundido con esto. Entonces nombre paterno no es un apellido? - dennywells, Jan 22, 2014
Borré mi comentario creyendo que probablemente estaba equivocado. ja ja - dennywells, Jan 22, 2014
Qué tonto soy yo. Ahora veo el género en tu perfil. - dennywells, Jan 22, 2014
Are you a girl as well,Juliana?Really called Silvia? - annierats, Jan 22, 2014
Ahhh sí, entiendo ahora...tu nombre verdadero es Silvia Julián, y eres una maestra de los disfraces. Intentas confundirnos :-) - 0095ca4c, Jan 22, 2014
¡Ya me cachaste, ja ja! Realmente "Chiví " no tiene nada que ver con "Chivis" salvo la semejanza de ortografía, pero sí conozco a una Silvia que le dicen "Chivis". ¿Menos confundida o más? :-) - 005faa61, Jan 23, 2014

I chose mine because Darth is a dead give away. Escogílo porque Darth era demasiado obvio.

But why heliotropeman? Is there a connection to Darth? I don't know, I'm not into science fiction. - 0095ca4c, Jan 21, 2014
This is the first one on this thread that makes sense. - annierats, Jan 22, 2014

Nothing clever or mysterious about mine. I signed up to ask one question not thinking beyond that point. My usual short sightedness. Denny is a nickname, after a singer my mother adored. Click the link for a little taste of Denny Dennis and a good laugh : )

Nada inteligente o entretenido en el mio. Me inscribí a preguntar una pregunta sin pensar más allá de ese punto. Mi visión corta habitual. Denny es un apodo por un cantante mi mama adorada. Haga clic en el enlace para una probadita de Dennis Denny y una risa buena : )

Mi historia es muy aburrido porque el nombre 'Margherite' es un derivado de mi verdadero segundo nombre. Escogí ese nombre porque otra miembro de SD estaba usando mi nombre de pila ya.

My story is very boring because the name 'Margherite' is a derivative of my real, second name. I chose that name because another member of SD was already using my first name.

Yo Neox lo escogí porque me sonaba bien jaja, no hay nada en especial en mi nombre, aunque hay un canal de TV en España que se llama Neox pero no lo cogí por eso jaja

I choose Neox because it sounds good to me jaja, There is nothing special about my name, although, there is a TV channel called "Neox" in Spain, but I didn't choose it for that reason

The first noun I learned in Spanish was helado (really!). The first adjective I learned wasn't electrico, though, but guapo. I thought it would seem a tad proud to call myself a pretty ice cream :p I assure you, there's nothing mysterious behind my name. suddenly nervous

El primer sustantivo español que aprendí fue 'helado' (realmente!). Sin embargo, el primer adjetivo que aprendí no fue 'electrico', sino 'guapo'. Creí que 'guapo_helado' pareció un poco orgulloso :p Te aseguro, no hay nada misterioso sobre mi nombre usario. nervioso

Elegí ¨Bandit¨ porque tengo el codo de golfista y es un correa que utilizo alrededor del músculo. El nombre de marca es ¨Bandit¨. Paso de los años, los miembros añaden un ¨a¨ en el extremo porque soy mujer, Bandita. Tengo que admitir que la emoción de ser considerado como un bandido o ladrón es un montón de diversión para todos!

Las correcciónes son apreciadas.

I chose ¨Bandit¨ because I have golfers elbow and it´s a strap that I use around the muscle. The brand name is ¨Bandit¨. Over the years, members added an ¨a¨ at the end because I´m a woman, Bandita. I have to admit the thrill of being thought of as a bandit or robber is a lot of fun for all!

I chose my username because I love animals, especially raptors. The Goshawk is one of my favorites, so I used that. I changed it a little, to make it Ghosthawk, just because I think that sounds cooler, and it's a littler easier to remember than Goshawk.

Yo elegí mi nombre de usuario porque me encanta los animales, sobre todo aves rapaces. El Azor es uno de mis favoritos, por lo que usé. He cambiado un poco, para que sea Ghosthawk, simplemente porque creo que suena más fresco, y es un poco más más fácil de recordar que Azor.
