I started out on HL as P.aint F.arm G.raffix (back in my n00b days, ha!)

One day I was in class (Grade 8, I believe.. time flies!) purposefully mispelling the names of animals and making graffiti art out of it. Eluhfunt seemed so cute and unique to me and it was stuck in my head for a few days and I just HAD to change my name to it. I've tried to change my name a few times since then but I always come by to Eluhfunt. I love it too much to give it up!

Murdock: My bestie, Robb. has the surname Murdock. Plus, it's the surname of the crazy character in The A-Team.

Kuwait: I have no idea why I chose this name. I just like the sound of it, I guess. A couple of years ago, I was talking to a neighbour of mine and she told me she used to live in Kuwait. X]

Infidel: Because I am one. :>

Doxerex: The word "xeroxed" jumbled up.

Kuruk: Pawnee word for "bear"

Rustenburg Royal Bafokeng: After the sports staduim in Rustenburg, South Africa. It was featured in the World Cup back in 2010, 2 years after I was in S.A. to work. I fell in love with the country. X]

Aslan: I live in East Belfast, not too far from where C.S. Lewis was born and raised. Naturally I have had a love of "The Chronicles of Narnia" books since I was a kid, and Aslan was my favourite in the books. And became even more so after Liam Neeson provided his voice in the movies. :9

I can't remember the other names I've used in the game. More than a few. Hahaha!

Was looking for a new name cause back on HL I was called Fullmetal Youkai and I needed a new name so I held a contest and I forgot who came up with the name H.exxus but It means Victoria in Elvish and I loved it :3

The name Memoire came from my boyfriend xD he speaks french and when he said memoire it just stuck with me so I had to use it (:

During my HL days I was quite obsessed with Naruto and so I changed my to Kyuubi (I was going by a different name prior to the change) to go with my favorite character in the manga/anime. Even though I don't follow Naruto anymore, since I still love Kyuubi and this was my HL name when it changed to much, I thought it was only fitting I take this name up once again.

I guess I need to do a new one. I went by Silver or Silverstone on HL for years. When I got here I took up the name Shadow Knight after a role play I had. Then I shortened it to Shadow. Sherlock as my last name was after the books not the show as many think as I've never seen the show. But I am a HUGE Sherlock fan and reader. Well I wanted something unusual and unique that sounded Elegant that no one had. I didn't want to go with Elegant or Elegance and when I thought of Eloquence I looked it up and it was a real word and no one on here has it so wala. Also it fits my changing over to Friesians Since thier a very Elegant breed. 

Wasurenagusa is the Japanese term for the Forget-me-not flower. I chose it because it's part of the name of my favorite Japanese drama CD series. The stories are quite tragic and heartbreaking. Wouldn't reccommend it to kids though, since the series is intended for listeners age 18 and up.

I used to be something else in HL days (probably something really cheesy.) Once I got into graphics, I changed my name to Eternal Designs. That name was transferred over to HP and onto my new DA. 

A few years ago, I decided Eternal Designs didn't suit me, so I held a naming contest on HP. One of the names suggested was Atramentum (which is a black liquidy substance-- think of an octopus.) When deciding names, I wanted to make sure that there would be a good nickname that would be easy for people to identify with and such (which happened to be Atra.) It was kind of hard to rebuild a "brand" on HP because I was not necessarily on everyday, but it worked out!

My DA still goes by Eternal Designs *sigh*

I used to be Memorabilia on Horseland, which was after a Nine Inch Nails song and a nod ot my love of photography.
And I wanted to change it and I kept looking at the songs and bands and everything musical I loved and couldn't decide on just one so i went with Overture, which is just the piece of music at the start of an opera or musical that sets the stage for the music for the rest of the show. I thought it was fitting. :p

I used to be Pinkish on HL. I played by that for years, but when I returned to HL after many a year hiatus, my real life nickname was "Shlee", so I decided to change it. Shlee is derived from my name, Ashley. When I was in high school, my friends cut off the 'A' on Ashley (because there were a million and one Ashleys) and got sh-ley, which was changed to 'shlee' because it obviously looked less weird than 'shley'. I got called shleebee the most, and I actually have shleebee with a bee tattooed on my ankle! :)

My names Tulsa.. Everytime I say that all I ever get from people is "like Oklahoma?" XD

Which one!

My real name is Daneka.  
When said quickly is like Dan-ka.  Friends started called my Dunka, then Dunk.

Again, my real name is Daneka.

Nek.

NEKE!

haha.

"My" first horse was named Shamus. He wasn't technically mine, but he was that first "special horse." I was probably about 11 years old, so I made my e-mail FamousShamus109....and Famous Shamus has just stuck with me! It's my email, my DA, my HP, my LLC, and my non-profit!

AkadeannaH actually stands for Akadeanna Hawk; she's a character I use in my roleplays. she was the VERY FIRST Queen Of Egypt at the very beginning of time. I like using her name :p it does NOT however mean Also Known As Deanna; Akadeanna is a madeup (by me) Egyptian name that means Beautiful Flower.

I started out as SwtCwgrl5685 then §//33†©0//g|r| [don't you love those noob days?]

Then someone told me I was not very sweet and in fact I was quite stubborn. So I went on a google hunt for something meaning hard-headed stubborn, etc.

I guess Arduous Cowgirl sounded good to me at the time, I was 15 so.... there you have it.

Anyway, over the years it was shortened to Arduous and nicknamed Ardy for short.

Started off as golden heart acres, then black heart acres (it's always stuck as my barn names) this was in the 2000s

i also went by ange due to my aim screenname being angecrzy 

i was o.men forma period as well

maharet came about in about 2004-05  From the Anne rice chronicals, there was actually quit a few players who switched names to "the vampire whatever" and stuck with them. 

and Maharet has stuck since 

A long time ago in the days of HL before my name was Jinjo, I partnered with someone whose name was Jinjo Appaloosas. We played together for a while and then went our separate ways. I kept the name Jinjo Appaloosas which I eventually shortened to just Jinjo. If you're wondering where the name Jinjo actually comes from, it's a character in the Banjo-Kazooie video games which I have never played. So the name has stuck for many years and everywhere I go, I'm Jinjo!

Audacious - brave/bold. Just loved the name and it's stuck with me all these years lol.

Paints since 6-8-14

I've had the screen name Eventide for a while now, I played with it on HL years and years ago. I chose it because I am in love with the 'eventide' time of day, just when the day is ending and night is beginning. 

I also like it because it can be 'even tide' which reminds me of my hometown on the river, where my family has lived for 6 generations. Growing up my family would talk a lot about the tides as most of them were fishermen.
