Indeed, what are in your names?
From lojope to shitfuck, the possible explanations seem limitless. Razor, Stin, zakalwe, Godlovesalittlelovin, all of them, all of you....
So, I ask you: what drove you to name your uber-self as you did? And perhaps you could explain it a wee bit as well.
I'll go first....

Mine is from Mr Show with Bob and David. This guy is a Pope-fanatic and news casters ask him what question he gets asked the most and he replies with "Who let you in?"...

Oh, I suppose I should have explained it a bit better.
My middle name is "Dominick", and thus my first initials are AD. Thus, I sort of half-combined them to make Domen-AD = Domenad. Yes, I know, there's no "e" in either my middle name or my initials. THat's because when I was a little kid, I used to misspell it all the time, and I still do. Hence, I misspelled it Domenick. See, I'm so dumb I can't even spell my own fucking name.

that's good to know, because everytime i see your name i say "dome" like a hemisphere and "nad" like well, gonads. i never figured out what dome-nads were though, so thanks for ending the mystery!

Originally it was a joke with my friend Jordan. Out of nowhere he once said "wouldn't it be fucked up to have the name "Bisdorf?" So I chanegd the spelling, made an e-mail address, and just re-used it on uber because it sounds so funny.

Jeanneee is a nickname given to me by my best friend/roommate. Some guy that used to live next door to her a long time ago called everyone Jeanne and she picked up the habit. As a result, my rommate calls everyone she knows Jeanne, including her mom, dad and brothers. I added the 3 eee's on the end because that's how she says it - JEENEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
My real name is Emily.

I really fucking hate this question. It sucked the first time. The second time it was redundant. The third was silly, and this has to be the 30th. Bart, if by any chance you read this, what are the odds on me convincing you to give us a "User Profile" that's visible to everyone? Same offer as my last deal...but this time I'll see if I can't actually get the little righteously managed cosmetologist on a plane. Anyway, since you asked, John Galt is my real name. It isn't very creative, but it works.
Not a -2 for the same reason as Lady_Plural.

I took the name of a Korean cosmetics company. Excerpt from their website:
The sense of Durae is come, ascent and rising. Durae will pioneer a field of cosmetic and other product chemical.
We will think the company phillosophy is the life of company. Management policy is the first customer,
respect of credit,the best quality product.
Do one's best for the customer,country and Durae development, by the righteousness management through the technical
creation of value.
I love Asian-mangled English.
Or you could say that it's distorted Latin, but that would just be an outright lie.

I would rather use Oly here but the account is already stuck. Whatever.

Coby neglected to give you the full name - Cheradenine Zakalwe.
So few people have read Banks. It's a damn shame. Use of Weapons is by far the best.
Since mine has been given, here's the others on your list.
Stin = ChriSTINa
LOve JOy PEace = lojope
GLALL, Razor, shitfuck: I don't know. They're just cool names.

Zakalwe- a mercenary for the Culture's Special Circumstances Unit, plunges fearlessly into daredevil missions to Do Good but cannot shake the memories of his haunted past
For all people didn't really feel like readin' shit.
and Coby Llamar came from my middle name and a typo for the spanish word "to lick."
Lamar is "to lick;" llamar is "to call."

I've kinda got two names.
1) My actual username (StonedSilly)
It was after a party and I was pretty high. I hate the name now.
2) Harmlessness
A while back, I wrote a PHP script that, when uploaded to a website, would steal AIM passwords from anyone who went to the site. We garnered something like 400 screennames, about 50 of which were extremely hard to get 1 word names, 3 letter names, things like that. We had 'beer,' 'oval,' 'harmlessness,' and many many others. I chose 'beer,' but the owner stole it back, so i went with 'harmlessness.'
It just kinda stuck.

I would think my name is self-explanatory. Though I don't buy into Freudian theory in the slightest, I've always been fascinated by the Ego, Superego, and Id. The dark side. The animal instincts. The lust, the rage. And one syllable names rock!
