what does your name mean?

[Waldszenen]

Waldszenen is German for "Forest Scenes" and is a very neglected but excellent piano work by Schumann.


I chose it because it sounds cool, because no one can spell it decently and because I can use it as a unique username without having to use numbers.

[galonia]

At my Baptism, my grandfather picked "Galonia" from a list of names the priest gave to him (my grandfather was an alcoholic, so I always wondered if that was a factor in the choice).  I never use Galonia in real life, somehow when filling in school enrolment forms, if you put another name down, after a while it becomes your real name, even legally, which is pretty cool.

But when I had to start selecting usernames on the internet, my preferred names were always in use, but no one else ever uses Galonia, so that's who I am on the internet.

So maybe my grandfather had amazing foresight...

[rafant]

Rafant = Rafael Antonio. Thanks for asking.

[etudes]

nice thread to know the reason of your name.
well. Etudes = study
i think everyone play it.

[allthumbs]

Greetings

allthumbs for my dazzling keyboard technique. (falls off piano bench)

Cheers

[Aniam]

I think Aniam means 'lament of the people' or something like that. I just found it in my concordance and liked the way it was spelled. 

[Thoni]

My real name is Muthoni which in my tribe means mother-in-law. but over the years it's been shortened to just Thoni which many people find more classy. I really thought about using my first name Bertha ,which means Bright or glorious, but I thought that too many people use that name already so here I am as glorious Thoni

[tds]

eerr...., tds=tds, very self explainatory.

tds *wonders why names have to submit to a meaning or two"

[stormx]

Just STORM.
the trailing "X" is there just because STORM was already taken (not here, but in another forum).

By the way, TEMPEST is my favourite Beethoven sonata 

[casparma]

My surname is Ma. Guess what is my nationality.

Definitely, my real name (formal name) isn't Caspar, but I dont use it, because it sounds quite similar to the name of a nauty Japanese cartoon boy, at least to you Western people, but in fact, in Chinese it has completely different meaning, and accents.

Caspar is my English name, randomly chosen from my parents. Personally, it think it sounds superb with my last name. 

[beethoartok]

beethoven + bartok.

that would be a interesting...combining two of their pieces together! haha, not.

[Waldszenen]

eerr...., tds=tds, very self explainatory.
