How did you come up with your nickname on here?

[farlukar]

I always like the name Seven (from Johny Seven an old Star Trek name)

I always thought that was Gary Seven...?

Gary Seven Of Nine

[dystonia_ek]

about 3 years ago or so I was watching Blade Runner and I read that there were extra scenes...one about an origami unicorn. I didn't know the meaning of the word 'origami' so I looked it up in the dictionary.

When I started to make music about a year and a half, I didn't hesitate. I remembered the word, I loved it, because of 2 reasons:

1. although I sing in English and always want to sing in English, I didn't want an English name for my project, in case I chose some day to sing in Spanish. don't know why, I didn't like the idea. so Origami was an English word but also logically a Japanese word, more exotic and strange.

2. because it implied an idea I liked a lot: many different forms but all done with the same material. like having lots of different musical influences but always with a distinctive style.

and I chose that same word as my nickname here, that's all.

Did you know that there's an international art/music/anarchy collective with the [almost] same name?

Yes You are right. I guess it was the Seven that stuck.

Mine's easy too. Its my name. Of course, you'd have to be an idiot not to realize that.

smp - my three initials. First name, middle name, last name. Boring as hell, but slightly more creative than BONES.

[Anakha]

Mine is taken from David Eddings books about Elenium. It´s about a knight whose name is Sparhawk, but his destiny is to become Anakha. The one who moves outside destiny, the one that the gods fear. More or less.

I´ve used it for about 10 years now.

[soulata]

my nick here is a name of one of my groups

soulata as soul + ata (which means dad in our language)
+ it sounds like solata (salad).

[Warmonger]

Rather dull story for mine as well. I saw it in a book, and the word stuck with me. When I got first had to choose a nickname, it just popped into my head, and here I am, 7 years later, still using the same nick.

I'm starting to feel as attached to it as I am to my real name, and I dislike saying it out loud just the same way too.

yes but it's just similar, not the same anyway. no problem, I'm just Origa-me.
