Re: The origins of your name...
Long long ago I was signing up for some website, don't even remember which now, and I couldn't think of a name to use so I just went with the name of the song I was listening to at the time, which was the Lunachicks "Binge and Purge." It seemed to get a rise out of "normal" people on other sites, so I kept using it just out of spite. Eventually I decided it made a good metaphor for my life and relationships, and it grew on me.
So now I use it just about everywhere, sometimes I have to throw underscores in if the name is already taken, like it was on VF.
Most people seem to think I'm either bulimic (obviously, which I am NOT) or think I took it from the Metallica song, which I also did not.
As far as I know there's only one other person who uses it and I only know this from googling it, there's a guy who's signed up for some bodybuilding and steroid forums with this name. So yeah, that's not me either!

Re: The origins of your name...
Actually mine came from back in the days where I used to play Guild Wars. I had a Necro I named Mistress Asphyxia (So goth). I liked the two words together and it kinda stuck. Somewhere down the line Mistress got shortened to Miss and there you have it.
I don't go by this name very often anymore. I've moved on to two more words that sound awesome together: Screaming Machines. That's my handle for pretty much everything now.

Nickname from 2 friends of mine as it's what my real name translates into (Gemma) so I get stuck with Gems or Gemstone and most things to my friends get signed Gemstone as it stuck....

Marshmallowmassacre
it's because I use wear this marshmallow perfume, that one of my friends use to love and she use to call me a marshmallow massacre because the main place that always smelt of marshmallow was my hair so I figured it would be perfect for this forum!
My business name Dolly decay dreads
it just sort of evolved my nickname was Dolly for a little while and I wanted my business name to be personal to me so I did the whole alliteration thing!

Re: The origins of your name...
My name has kind of a long story behind it-it's a shortened versions of the name I used for several years, which was sinisterminister. I got that name from a horse who ran in the Kentucky Derby like four years ago-I happened to see it in a newspaper article and thought it was cool. I had to shorten it to sinn_ister when I made an LJ account, and it stuck.
Re: The origins of your name...
Lol, I remember this thread on Rainbowlox but not on HH.
Mine is my photography name. I used to just use it for my photography but now I use it for everything since it is me (and I'm trying to keep my names tidy). Still though, it is fully MischiefStudios but I dropped the "Studios" part when it has nothing to do with photography (like on here).

Well, I used to hang around with alot of trannies and crossdressers, all of whom said I was more dragqueen than any dragqueen they'd met. The superstar bit has always been there, after doing makeovers for my tranny friends they always called me a superstar. Being awkward I changed the spelling

Re: The origins of your name...
I used to work with my ex as part of his promotions company which was called "Spitting Black" (a botch song if I'm not wrong) anyway, I just to branch out and do art work for other people too and I was originally just "Beka Designs" till my ex said that was rubbish and why didn't I call my self "Spitting Pink".
The promotion company has gone now, but I just still love that name so I kept it!

Re: The origins of your name...
Bit of a silly reason for my name - when I was first trying to set up my hotmail email account years and years ago, I kept typing in all these usernames and every time I did, it would come up with an annoying message saying 'this username has already been taken'. I was there for *ages* trying to find one that hadn't been taken, and in the end I just gave up and typed in some random nonsense word off the top of my head, just so I could get the bloody hotmail account to work - hence 'Fricklesnarp' lol

Re: The origins of your name...
Haha I love this thread. Mine's not all that exciting, I just wear a ton of eyeliner. All the time.
Another username I use is nepchoon (as in Neptune, but spelt strangely) - I was going through a bit of a geeky space-is-awesome phase and refused to add numbers to make it unique. On ebay it was already taken and so 'toastedtreefrog' eventually happened, after many attempts of random word combinations!

Re: The origins of your name...
I've had this username since FOREVER! :O Probably for about 6 years or so now...
Not sure why I really chose it to be fair. I think its because at the time my style was developing and I was going for the more futuristic style of things. So I wanted to be all cool and be futuratica and whatnot. However I thought I'd be well 1337 and be phuturatica instead.
Hahaha...now I think about it, its actually quite lame really!

Medusa, obviously for the dready hair reference, and also because I really feel drawn towards Medusa in mythology. I was medusalox on the old board, and that's the name that I used to sell under. Just plain 'medusa' was already taken by someone on the old board, so I was pretty psyched to come over here and register with the new, shortened name.
