What's in a name?

A fictitious name, especially a pen name.

Usually I use another username, but this just camed into my mind when decided to register. Actually it's related to the problem I was here in the first place ... refering to a friend to which I care very much.

Nice topic, btw.

everyone else has such well-thought out psuedonyms!
mine is pretty simple... I'm drama_queen because I love everything about theatre: watching it, performing in it... I also tend to overdramatize things in my mind, especially my bad qualities, which has unfortunately led to my eating disorder and extremely low self-esteem.

One day, a few months ago, I was so confused and I felt that I was not me anymore, I felt a different person.

So ItsNotMe

and i'm still not me.

mine is a little wierd. A few years ago I dislocated my subtalar joint. I thought the word subtalus was kind of cool so I use it as a pseudonym.

my name is actually the name of an Iron Maiden song that I like a lot...I somehow can relate to some of the lyrics...

And if you try to save your soul
I will torment you - you shall not grow old
With every second and passing breath
You'll be so alone your soul will bleed to death

I don't know...it's about struggle, demons, uncertainty, fear...that's just so...me...

Mines the main guy from "Tales Of The Abyss", it's an RPG only released in Japan, but it's getting an American release soon. I like his character, from what i gather he's got an alter ego named Asch, and he seems like a clumsy dude. But his heart is in the right place.

Plus, I use another name regularly on other forums, and i'm afraid that my friends (who arent especially my friends anyway) will find out I've got mental issues and poke fun, which I can't seem to take. So it is, really, just a name.

Well, I'm manicmonday elsewhere, and with them both being psych forums I didn't want to get confused. I know, makes no sense now and I have to be careful not to post here as manic and there as saffron. Yes, I'm blond.

Anyhoo, I try to come up with ones that are pretty easy for people to type. I was putting some saffron in rice a while back, liked it - the name and the rice - so jotted it on my list. I know! I'm a bit anal! Yes, I have a list of possible nicknames .... but they're not alphabetized!!

Suuure - go ahead and laugh <sniff sniff>

Cassiel is the angel of tears, solitude, and Saturday.

As far as pseudonyms go, probably not my most inspired attempt, but whatever.

My pups name(who I had to have put down 'bout a year ago ) plus 77(I like 7 and it's multiples.) I have her portrait tattooed on my chest.
