It's my great great great grandfather's name. He was from Ireland, and came to the states during the potatoe fammine like so many others.

Har = 1/2 of my real first name, and is what most people have always referred to me as anyway (often with a Philadelphian accent, which makes it NOT rhyme with "car").

I live in Cleethorpes on the North-ish East coast of England. Right on the North Sea, in the summer there's a fair breeze comes inland.

In the winter, it's TOO F*CKING WINDY!!!

(Actually, I was on a train 17 years ago and passed a wall with a huge graffitti tag on it saying 2windy. I thought, I like that it'll make a good name for me (for the above reason), I'm robbing that someday... I did.)

I'm one of those boring c**ts that never bothered to get a nick, I just use my first name and the initial of my last.

I liked "furry_mollusc" but dropped it as being tad racy for a parent like myself.

long time radical amazement/study of civilization with same name though I have managed to stay away from heart-sacrifices on top of high pyramids

I put the letters, g,r,e,a,l,o,g and y into an anagram machine and the only single meaningful word that resulted was my nickname.

Or, I just liked the idea of being hideous-looking, standing on the edge of a roof and mischeviously spitting at passers-by.

Or, I had a premonition that Ian would create a VSTi of the same name.

Or, none of the above. Just a word I like.

being heavily into death thrash ska metel
I meant to register as 'bluedead'
living in a stoned haze it was months before I realized my mistake, by which time my reputation had already been ruined.

They are actually made of platinum.

I was thinking of getting them pierced, and hanging little rings of human flesh in them..

Seriously though, been training them since the age of 4, and I earn my living with them now..

it's not a nickname..

Neuromancer · Post by **Neuromancer** » Fri Jan 14, 2005 8:34 pm

Inspired by Mr. Gibson's archetypal Cyberpunk novel.

Also part of the name of my music project. I later added the "-9000" upon being informed that I was in trademark violation by the record company of another artist using "Neuromancer" by itself.

Ever see Blue Thunder? Neither have I, but a friend told me I was just like my namesake.

I like the mischievous antics of monkeys and I'm a Cancer so I put the two together plus when my son was growing up we got him these.

Loosely based on a character from a game. It was a hideous looking beast with golgen wings and a voice of silver and the most beautifully teeth, who devoured the two half-twin sisters. When the maidens refused to die their spirits became part of the beast and now represents the two extremes of the beast, the dark soul and the fairest dream.

No, really, the name has no meaning whatsoever.

How did you come up with your nickname on here?
