What's in a name?
So, basically, why's you're screen name your screen name?
Like....
The story behind GreenRain22
Green: Been my fav color for at least 10 years, and it symbolizes saving the eviroment (I'm a tree hugger, won't lie.)
Rain: Rain has been my nickname for about 2 years, and I'm always happier on a rainy day... I'm found playing in the puddles and mud-biking.
22: Lucky number. Don't ask why, it just is.

Kaylee: Wash, tell me I'm pretty.
Wash: If I were unwed, I would take you up in a manly fashion.
Kaylee: 'Cause I'm pretty?
Wash: 'Cause your pretty.

It's a broken hearts parade
And I'm putting my heart out on display
There's no masquerade
Just a funeral march for love today
The band strikes up and they're playing a song
Dressed in black, and we're singing along to the
Broken hearts parade
I've never been better then I am today

I love you. You're awesome.
On Topic: Zankou is the name of a demon from Charmed. I liked it, and it became my handle. Everywhere.

OO;;;; Uh.. yey? ^^;;;;;
THATS where Zankou was familiar! I've watched Charmed on and off whenever it pops up on TV.

Re: What's in a name?
Rowan happens to be my last name. It wasn't always, but when my ex and I were getting married, neither of us had any attachment to our last names. Collectively, we chose another name, Rowan.
I wanted a pirate name for the forums, and Rowan Redbeard sounded rather fetching. I changed it to Rev. Rowan Redbeard after becoming an ordained minister.
Oh. And while my hair may look black, it is actually a very dark auburn with a tinge or red in the sun. The beard has a bit more red, but still appears to be black/dark brown in most lighting.

Re: What's in a name?
Well, you see, I was once Cap'n Turtlehead. I chose that because I couldn't think of anything much better, and because turtles are cool. Then the Capellini Wars began, so I changed my name to this. PG (then PirateGuy, now PantyGnawer) began to change his name too. At first, his was PracticalGuy. We had fun changing our names, so I kept this one.
I was also inventing (and solving) a bunch of mysteries, like "The Portsmouth Slasher," (now available on VHS and DVD) "The Mystery of the Dinghy of Fools," (now available on blu-ray) and "The Mystery of the Missing Doomsday Laser". (Now available at all major bookshops)
Then the boards changed, so I'm stuck with it. I still like it, though.
And my pirate name's "Shoutin' Bill Smythe"

Re: What's in a name?
Black Bart or Bartholomew Roberts or Le Joli Rouge (that's where Jolly Roger came from), was a Welsh born pirate whom I have always admired. I share the surname but not the swarthy skin and I don't always wear red.
The smoke wafted gently in the breeze across the poop deck and all seemed right in the world.

Re: What's in a name?
Moral Minority...
Why?
I am a minority. Several, in fact. Also, I consider myself to be a moral person (nonviolent, treehugging, healthy (physically), respecting, respectable).
Inb4 I was AZN Pride which had something to do with my ethnicity and my being proud of it. I changed it because I can't stand the caps in AZN and because I learned that ethnicity is not something you should be proud of.

Is a rubber tree the best tree to hug? The others seem a tad hard to me.
