What Does Your Name Signify?

I decided to go for a change and post my real name in this site instead of another handle, which is what I usually go for when I join a discussion forum. On my passport it's "Judy" but since that's already taken I adopted a variation on the spelling. Not very exciting--but there you go.
 
Obs is from obscenitor my video game name lol. And all my online friends call me obs.
 
I've been so darn busy lately I'm missing all the fun threads!

I've got a 1968 Camaro that I've been working on for a few years. My Dad (Who's an old timer and actually was raised in a one room log cabin in the mountains of Idaho) decided that he was going to call my dream car a StoveBolt in reference to, you guessed it, bolts that were used for the old wood stoves :-D Personally, I look at it as the Straight 6 that GM put out when I was a wee laddy... It was tough as nails!

Hey, I actually drove her this summer! About put her in the ditch and I've never had her at WOT due to a linkage issue. Wild!!

Um... i actually stole (with permission) my name from a friend who used to make zines. We agreed we love the anonymousity jane gives you, and boston just fit!!
 
Lovely,
That's cool! I've always wondered and now, it just all makes sense. It fits you perfectly!

Mutz,
I've got a shepherd / lab mix. I clocked him at 30 mph this summer and a spurt of 35 mph according to my speedo!

Noc,
That's just a cool, well thought out name. I've seen you post it before but never commented. Neat!

Destiny,
That's a neat tidbit. Funny, I always liked the name Steve.. and most confuse my screen name stove for steve! LOL :-D

Everyone else, Thanks for sharing! (ran out of time again...)

"Wild At Heart" is a book by John Eldredge that I read that significantly changed my life. I recommend it to anyone.
 
I decided on GodsAngel I guess because one day I hope to be one of Gods Angels....That would be amazing... I use this nick in most places and it just stuck I guess.... :lilangel:
 
My first name from my mother tongue can roughly be translated into english as "infinite". TanNinety is nothing but a mathematical formula "Tan(90)" the result of which is "infinity". Hence the screen name. But I know Drew already has that figured out :wink:

Stove, when you compute the value for Tangent(90) from trigonometry, tan(90) in short, the resulting number is "infinity", like when you divide 1 with zero. 1/0 = infinity. The english translation of my first name from my mother tongue is roughly "infinity". So I made TanNinety my screen name which is a mathematical translation of the meaning of my first name. :fadein:
 
Ahimsa is a sanskrit word literally meaning non-violence.

More than this, it has come to mean, in many traditions, the highest ethical ideal of reverence for life and a refusal to take part in the self-perpetuating cycle of violence.

As the Buddha said "Hate is not defeated by hate, but by love. This is the eternal law."

My image or "avatar" (avatar actually another sanskrit word) is Hebrew, the name for God YHWH.

YHWH as one of the sacred names of God has particular mystical significance for me in my spiritual practice.

Now why didn't I know that? :-D (What makes tangent 90? More important, 90 what? I thought tangent was were two lines came together.)
 
Unred typo is whatever you want it to mean. I had several reasons for picking it and some of you have had fun spelling it ‘unread’ but I don’t mind since it means to me that you’re just admitting what I have suspected all along: you haven’t even read what I wrote. :wink:
 
Oh yeah, 90 what = 90 degrees as in the degrees of an angle. Tangent could be some of our posts on the forum Stove, when we start on topic and end up way off topic hi-jacking a thread. But I think this happens because most of the theology is so intertwined with another that you can't truly separate topics exclusively.

unred typo, that's just such an oxymoron. Reminds me of "If a tree falls in a forest with no one to hear it, then does it make a sound?". If there is a typo and no one reads it (unread), then is it still a typo? Good one unred.

:-D
 
Thanks, Tan. I enjoy irony in puns and riddles and now that I understand your name, I see the simile is much better than the ninety year old stepping out of the Electric Beach in his Speedo, and although I will severely miss the old guy, you have suddenly taken on a whole new image that I will appreciate even more. :-D 8-) :-D
 
Used to shoot a lot with revolvers. Loaded my own ammo.
Anyway, we were shooting at a pot and I was hitting it pretty good. One fellow said it's all luck. :D I said, "Yeah, pot luck" :-D
The name stuck. Been Potluck ever since.
 
Tangent :-D

Perhaps it's all just a big misunderstanding :wink:
BTW, If two lines intersect to become tangent, I didn't know it was a maxim that it was 90 degrees. What if it's winter? does the friction generate the 90 degrees? What if it's in the heat of the Arabian desert? Exactly How does that flux capacitor work anyway? ;-)

Potluck,
Please don't shoot me, honestly, I quit back in my early 20's! :lol:
