NAMES!I'

NAMES!

I've always been curious about names. I love their meanings, their history, everything! Now that I'm on the Chatterbox, I'm more curious than ever. Why did you pick the name you did? Is there some meaning behind it? Or is it just pretty? A mix of both, perhaps?  

Answer as little or as much as you want!

Here's the story behind mine:

My best friend and I were making a Wings of Fire fanfic together. We decided which tribe we wanted to be. She decided MudWing, and I decided NightWing. (They don't get enough credit! They really are amazing!) We came up with the names Maloo (for her; it's an imaginary white flower with magical properties that grows in the MudWing's home) and Starseeker for me. In addition to reminding me of my friends, the name Starseeker reminds me to reach for the stars and never be afraid to go for my goals.

Wow. That's deep.

Wven if yours isn't that deep, I still want to hear your name's story!

You've been really active lately! :D Especially since I haven't seen you (on CB, that is) in awhile. 

As for the names, I think I've said this somewhere before but I'll do both names I've had on here. When I first came on and I had to think of a name, I chose Amber. This was because my friend and I had thought up 'author pseudonyms' awhile back. She wanted hers to be 'Starre Willow', and since I always liked the name Amber I chose 'Amber Crow', and that's just what I used. However, around or on my birthday of last year I decided I wanted to have a more original name, so I picked another relating to my old group of friends.  

In elementary school, we had this thing where we make up a parody of the Llama Song for our group, and we all chose an animal to say at the end instead of the random things in the song. My friends picked fox, panda, unicorn, rabbit, and peacock, and I chose leopard. When I was picking a new CB name I thought back to leopard, and added 'Clouded' in front because clouded leopards and the name is really cool. Maybe it didn't work, though, because I see 'leopard' get misspelled very often. Oh well.

Ooh! I have a story for this one!

So, Ice Wolf and I were at a youth group event, and I started doodling on my plate (cause there were snacks, you see). I doodled a bunch a stuff, like cheese and dinosaurs and such, but then I started drawing a waffle with army gear, and I named him: General Waffleson. This happened to be the same event where Wolfy introduced my to the CB, so I decided to become my doodle (after the first 3 days, where I was called the Purple Taco for some reason, that is)!

Shoshannah is a variant of my real name, and I used to always use it as usernames. Not exciting, I know... I'm thinking of changing it.

I had another name on here once, but that was a while ago...

Anyway! I named myself Silverwaxwing because I love the birds cedar waxwings and I changed silver to cedar because I thought it sounded fun. 

So here I am!

At camp we sing the moon song, and camp is one of my favorite places. It's like my home away from home. Every night I would look at the Big and Little Dipper, along with the moon. Also Moonlight is really pretty. So, I decided to make my name Moonlight to connect the CB with camp.

On a side note, at camp last summer I really missed the CB. I'm just thinking back on that. XD

I already posted about Moonlight, but I'm going to do a quick history of my many CB names.

Natalie: My real name. The closest I ever got to saying my real location was USA. Back then my age was '?'

Jack-a-Nat: For a little bit before this name 'Jackie Tops' was my topping name. I was with my friend who used to be on the CB and I told him that I wanted to change my CB name to something that wasn't just my real name. So, Jackie+Natalie=Jack-a-Nat. During that time, I lied and said Jackie was my friend. Later, I admitted that she is my dog.

CNN Reporter: In social studies I watch CNN Student News/CNN 10. At the beginning of the school year, I thought that being a news reporter would awesome. I changed what my dream job is many times since then. My whole life I have never been able to decide what I want to be when I grow up. Luckily, I have 10 years until I graduate college to decide. :) XD

And now Moonlight. My post about that should show up soon.

When I first came on, I called myself Lyra Silvertounge, after Philip Pullman's character in His Dark Materials. Then Scylla told me that I couldn't be Lyra because there already was a Lyra on the CB. I tried to think of a new name, failed, and was starting my homework when the word 'cockleburr' popped into my head and I knew it was my name!

Crookshanks was the first name that came into my head when I joined, because he's Hermione's cat, but I'm thinking of changing it. I don't know what I want to change it to, though...* wanders off*

Well, for the first month or so I went under Elena P, which is my real name. But I decided that I wanted to choose my own name, not just to go under the one given to me (though I do think it fits me very well.) Everyone had these creative, new names, and I didn't want to go under a normal name anymore, so about a year ago I decided to get a new name. For a few days I went through names in my head, until I found The Riddler, and it stuck. I've always loved riddles, and I thought that they represented an important piece of my personality - how there is always so much more to a person than meets the eye. Years and years of layer upon layer are what shape you as a person, not just the first thing that people see when they look at you (or, in this case, read you.) It also sounded so much more mysterious than my real name, and I love mystery and the unknown.

Wow. That was deeper than I expected.

My brother and I were addicted to minecraft.

His account was named FrostyBeverage. And we shared it for a while, playing singleplayer.

But our minds expanded and we both wanted multiplayer, which posed a problem as we could no longer share.

I reluctantly stepped down.

Then, on my ninth birthday, everything changed.

Frosty (yes, I named an AE after him. WORTH IT.) got me my own account, and, to pay him back, I named it IcyBeverage.

Icy and Frosty.

My minecraft friends called me Icy, and the name stuck, and I keep it because it's an amazing name, and to honor a brother's gift, as well as the brother himself.

When I joined Cricket, I was in my mouse phase. :) I was about to join Coconut the Dog's Warriors RP (1st edition), and I didn't want to spend too long thinking of a name--so I chose the first thing that popped into my head!
