Well, many-a year ago, I stumbled up on the nickname "estitabarnak". But that seemed to offend both French, Canadians, and the occasional passerby, which is all good and well, except I got tired of mails asking me things like "dO u no wut ur name meens!". So, for half of the time it's used, it's just Estm which is fine by me because it fits in to high score lists on arcade games

Not to mention, Est just neet-o. Side-note: when shortened, the first letter is capitalized, when in entirety, the first letter is always lowercased.

Whats your name mean? PM me if its inappropriate for English translation. I'm curious now. I know nothing of French or Canadian (?same?)

Well, it's less offensive for the French, because it's more Canadian slang, but more for people who speak French as the general criteria.  So, just to answer the question for you, and anyone else aching to find out:  I wont tell.


Just kidding!

 Well, the first part doesn't bode so well with people. I've also heard it used as a specific word...  But, what people often forget is the second part!  Well, it all culminates into one big dirty name, I guess.  But the intent wasn't really to be offensive, just FYI.

I know we did this a while ago...But ok I'm game.

Slizarus was my invention in 2001.. I was thinking of a name for a Log in to Sega net..and they had their avatars..the only one that interested me was one that looked like a punk.. and since my name from 1998 was rejected (Andalite) I had to think of something that sounded cool, had an S and a Z...something similar to a snake/Lizard/Slizer
(you know, those lego things) and after some thinking at about 3 am or so. I came up with it. and Slizarus has been my name ever since.. funny thing is that I never used Sega Net..I don't even remember completing the registration for it.

needed a hotmail account name, and so here is how it came about...
I worked at a motorcycle race shop in san diego ca, and so I always wanted to be the racer...the shop I worked at was called white tip racing. I picked out my amateur racing number as 644. Motorcyle racer white tip 644

so, mcrwt644 is how that came to be.

Well, superimposed is overly imposing, and hope is ..... well you know what hope is.
I have always been a person to reject things for the simple purpose of them being pushed upon me. It has kinda lead to these names involved with forced of emotions and such.

I think the creative names are the best cause they tell you something about the person if you can read between the lines
