well my user name is torz & thats a name my family got from my real name Victoria so..... The name Victoria is of Latin origin and the feminine form of Victor. In Roman mythology Victoria was the name of a goddess and basically means victory. After Queen Victoria of England the name started connoting royalty, formality and splendor. The variant forms of Victoria are Tory, Torie, Vicky and Vickie my mum & dad gave me this name because throughout my mums pregnancy with me she had really bad cravings for victoria plums & my dad was going to the market every day for them. when i was born i wasnt actually breathing, i came out purple & they said it was because of the plums haha! also my dad at the time (& still does) loved victoria principle, he says i'm named after the most beautiful woman in the world.
Molly is Chief Cowpie in disguise? Interesting. My Italian ways seem to suggest you might be right. Curiouser and curiouser....
My name has a looooong and confusing history. Well, i was a big Bill bailey fan, and two of his routines was about trolls and sheds, what did I choose: THETROLLTHATLIVESINYOURSHED. sadly, most things don't accept a 27 letter username, so shortend it to shedtroll. my real life name means "John" in gaelic. Witch poses the question "why didn't my parents just call me john?
Yep, something about the ironic tone and general hilarity of his posts rang a few bells and I employed some, well, French ways of my own
I was beginning to suspect the naive young hippy persona had to be an invention. What were your French ways?
Well, checking his post history gave me a few clues ... when you see some of the pictures he posted it had to be him! Not really French, more ... sort of ... Belgian...
Cerebus ... that's pretty cool. a great, literate aardvark. mudpuddle - no problem, took me all of 30 seconds to find it using Google.
My real name means The boy's and girl's name Alison is pronounced AL-ih-son. It is of English origin. Norman French diminutive form of Alice (Old German) "noble, exalted nature." May have originated as a surname, meaning "Alice's son." Common in medieval times, and revived in England in the 20th century with a strong Scottish flavor. Allie and Ally are pet forms. Actress Allison Janney. I like the idea of being noble!
I dont take anything at face value and investigate peoples claims in threads (especially by conspiracy theorists - to find the truth)just like Columbo the TV detective - I chose that name because I am involved in computer security and when I was investigating some hackers that broke into a network someone said "we're ok we've got Columbo on the case " that was about 6 mths before I joined here but I thought it was funny - and I like to investigate ideas rigorously too - to the nth degree but my real name means - "keep things real and never give away your real name on the internet"
