FReeper names explained

My curiousity | Now | Yours truly

[Come get it]

Some FReepers have nicks that are obvious in their origin, others don't. I've seen several that probably have interesting stories behind them.

I thought it would be cool to see where FReepers get their handles from. If you don't like this topic, DON'T POST HERE! No one forces you to read this. I'm sure other people may be interested. If I'm the only one, let me know so I can crawl away in shame.

[MARTIAL MONK]

I did a quick google and Sonseeahray was an Apache princess in the 1950's movie
Broken Arrow. The name is real but was apparently lifted from an eastern tribe for the movie. If I remember correctly star in Apache is something like T'so or T'cho. I lived Apache for a short time but fortunately they spoke better English than I spoke A'pash-ee.

[maxwell]

Gadzooks, dude. This thread is ancient.

My name is for the express purpose of folks shortening it to "maxie" which makes me sound cute, huggable and innocuous.

And now that I actually look at it, it kinda looks gay.

Okay Bob, quit calling me "maxie" or I'll have to seriously whup yer a$$.

[xsmommy]

oh it is NOT gay, maxie! you lil love bug! ; )

[maxwell]

AAAAUUUUUUGGGGGGGHHHHHH!

Kentuckian by birth, Wildcat (and conservative) by the grace of G-D. Currently a member of the greatest fighting force in the history of the world.

That's how I picked my moniker, (also a big fan of the Duke)

I like the fact that we are the only country on Earth (asides from maybe Hong Kong) that is proud of the fairest and most free economic system on the planet, CAPITALISM. ;)

Separate cold showers for the both of you. Now!
