What the Heck Does Your Name Mean?

=)

i thought it was clever, but i didn’t know you looked like him.

christopher lloyd did an awesome job in that role.

growing up with uncle finster says more tho………..

I was born and pretty much raised on the east coast of south florida. i grew up with the beach to my right (facing north). So. FLA is all gridded out, with everything going north-south or east-west so it is pretty easy to stay oriented. But when I moved out here to cali, NOTHING has ANY orientation. Streets go in any old direction, and the coast where Iive runs kinda ESE-WNW…. took me a long time to get myself re-oriented and i had to keep reminding myself “the coast is on the left”.

I’m a big fan of the web comic Red vs. Blue (as you can probably guess from my sig), which for those who don’t know, is a series based off of the game Halo. It’s filmed by people playing multiplayer on the game, and filming the screen to emulate the “actors” and they make up their own script. It’s freaking hilarious and you should check it out if you’re a fan of the games.

Anyways, in this one scene in the 1st season, the red team gets themselves a vehicle, and the red team leader, Sarge, says that it’s called the Warthog. One of the other red soldiers, Grif, asks why its called the Warthog when it doesn’t really look like a pig. He says it looks kinda like a puma. Sarge told Grif to stop making up animals, he’s a redneck and kinda dumb, then he starts making fun of him.

Sarge: “How ‘bout it Grif? Any more mythical creatures? Leprauchan? Sasquatch? Hey Simmons! (one of the other soldiers) What’s the name of that Mexican lizard? Eats all the goats?”

Simmons: “Uuuhhh, the chupacabra sir!”

Sarge (to Grif): “Yeah, Chupathingy. It’s kinda catchy.”

I just thought that scene was hilarious, so I used it as my screen name. That’s all, I’m not hispanic or anything, just got it from a cartoon.

Like I have said previously, I’m American not actually Austalian. This has confused some of you but I don’t care. (you really think some guy in the outback is going to be watching Dolphin’s games?! Stop it! LOL!)

I started researching Australia a few years ago. Everything the the Governmental system to the history of the land. Mostly the culture from top to bottom. I met many Australians also. There was a nice chick named Gemma that I was trying for but I had to let that go. Anyway, I fell in love with the country and all I could have easily gone but I didn’t yet for personal reasons. I’m going to go this year, so I’m not worried about it. Just so you know I read their newspaper quite often, I follow the Liberal Party of Australia, and I like Vegemite.

Right now, I’m in the process of getting my citizenship there and I’m going to work there at least 4-5 months out of the year. Its going to be cool.

Back to the screen name. Usually I’ll pick Future-AussieKen and the name" AussieKen" is always taken, it was availiable here so I took it. I know I’ll be around here a long time, long after I get down there and make some posts from down under. Then, even though I started out just American, I’ll have the dual ctizenship thing going. It I think its pretty cool.

2 years ago when Ginn was drafted he was injured (lisfranc injury)
Yatil was the last 1st round speedster we took, and he also couldnt stay on the field. Because he played for the U I had to get his jerz right away… and so 3 knee surgeries later….he gone.
This time, I waited to buy the Ginn jerz, maybe if he stays healthy and explodes this year I’ll pick it up

During my 8th grade year we were having a fun P.E. class playing basketball and I stole the ball and started running down the court and was going into a layup and one of my friends tried to take the charge and i ran into him at the freethrow line and knocked him all the way to the wall. ( you have to understand i am a junior now and i am 6’3’’ ish 248 pounds, and back then i was about 6’1’’ 220 so i was the 2nd tallest and most muscular in the class.)
    So then they called me baby Shaq, and then during a basketball game, the point guard stole the ball and went in for a layup, but i am very fast once i get going and blocked the shot. now i am the C on the team and I decided to take the ball coast to coast and that same PG went down and tried to take the charge and i plowed over him and made the layup, but no foul, then he took it out and i took the charge when he ran into me and the ref called the offensive foul on him and our bench went nuts.
         So since then everyone has called me The Diesel. Even now whenever i make a shot the student section yells Diesel so its pretty fun. My basketball coach does too. Even now during the Summer Conditioning and Lifting Football Camp all the coaches call me Diesel, espacilly my offensive line coach. The 23 is because Ronnie Brown is my favorite player and at my school in Iowa everyone loves Minnesota and i hate Minnesota so we always go back and forth about who is better Ronnie Brown or Adrain Peterson.

and wanted to be able to see my name all the time :)

I have a decided lack of originality.

that the I was a 1, or an l. lol

snorky is of course from “The Simpsons”, one of the Treehouse of Horror episodes, “the Night of the Dolphin”
.

I am thinking about changing my nick just to have a cool story to tell… I feel sad for myself given the interesting stories told here!!!

BTW, I live in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

My first name is Richard which shortens down to Dick over here in the UK and my surname shortens down to Devil so my friends being as they are brought the two nicknames together for to the Singular Dick Devil and I thought it sounded cool and might even give me some type of reputation as a renowned swordsman (didn’t work though).
So thats my story.

E Dove stands for Emmett Dove. I’ve had this nickname for ever. I have a few, it’s usually E, but you cant use 1 letter to join. Everyone either calls me E, BIG E, E Dove, etc.. Its because Emmett is a fairly un-common name & when people say it, then everyone would know who they were talking about, so, it got shortened. Also, from the tat’s on my face, you get the E or E Death.. I put a few pic’s up for the people that don’t remember me. I’ve been here since dec. 06.. lol I got one of these pic’s off wikicommons.. Yes, you can search me on google if you really want to know about your loyal dolphin fan & phinsider friend.

a collage from shows

the pic is dumb, but its the best view of the “E”

the “Death Jaw” side.. lol

the back view

lol the one I found on wikipedia commons, lol, I found pic’s of me that I didnt have on there..
but, yea.. this is me.. like my apperance or not, im a friend & fan & always here to defend from other teams bloggers come live game day threads..

great post finster! I read on my blackberry storm every day but can’t comment, so I went to my friends house & logged in just for this one..

Nickname. It’s Colombian, a fish that’s cheap and common and so anyone who is also cheap and common is so called. From my days teaching in Colombia but I’m more Irish in background. But I bleed aqua and orange.

Soy Corroncho…so Pogue Mahon dudes

As a freshman in college there was an OL teammate that had the nickname “Tank”. Short, squat, strong guy who was just a road grader as an O-Lineman. My sophomore year “Tank” became a coach because he used all of his college eligibility and still needed credits to complete his degree. So “Tank” became “Coach Tank” which became “CT”. From there on out, anyone who had used all of there eligibility but didn’t graduate on time (needed a 5th year) became “Coach Tank” or “CT”. I was on the 5 year plan.

But I took it a step further. I considered going into coaching so I hung around a couple of extra years volunteering as a coach (after I graduated) for the team and eventually everyone from the incoming freshman all the way through the senior class knew me as “CT”. So it stuck.

The rest is a little less interesting. When I was a sophomore in college, my dad gave me my first ATM card (they had just become popular). So I needed a pin number for my card. “13” for my favorite player, Dan Marino. “61” for my college football number.

Hence “ct1361”.

………….
Alpha6 is the call sign for a Navy Seal I knew. I thought it was cool, original, and helps me not to forget him and all the other members of the armed forces who do a somewhat unnoticed job.

This is where I wish my life brought me some sort of nickname worth telling a grandiose story about.

Dave.Phuller..

Well..My last name is Fuller.

Yeah. haha

alph, u gona like this mor then mos. born “58” grew up all over the us, i was in a very bad car acc. in 1976 in illionis. my sen year year of high school. had a scoolership in football to play at wisconsin. all gone. accident left me in coma 14 day’s in hospital 8 month’s. i was very deprest, my ankle could no longer take extream cold of winter in the illionis had to move south went to key west in 1979. partied like it was 1999 got married in 2004 my wife’s parent’s are from la paz, bolivia. my parent’s are from swisserland, germany,northern italy. hence (wild) born in chicago. razd in zion, illionis. when i was yungg i looked like jerry mathers (leave it to beaver).

for those that dont, its from the Dolphins fight song…Miami has the Dolphins the greatest football team we take the ball from goal to goal like no1 has ever seen, we in the air we on the ground we always in control and when u say Miami u talking Super Bowl…

For me.. we’ll NJDolphan is obvious…but 68 is a special number for me. My big bro was an O-Lineman and was recruited heavily in HS along with his teammate who later became a well-recognized pro/suberbowl winner, and celebrity. My brother blew out both his knees and could never play again. He wore 68 and so I abosrbed myself vowing to make the rather obscure #68 a number to always be remembered. Being 8 yrs younger than my big bro, I had plenty of time to plant the seed. Unlike my brother, 6’2 260, I was smaller, faster and more athletic so I’d have to make my mark outside the interior line. Throughout popwarner and HS I wore #68 at every position except QB, WR, and CB. For 9 years I wore 68 primarily at LB where I made my brother proud with AllState honors and then went on to play college ball.

So that’s #68 and all it’s glory…

Dolphin fan 34
^Team ^me ^Ricky Williams my favorite player

some interesting nicknames out there. Mine is pretty simple. My football coach in HS had a depth chart to show where everyone was at in the beg of summer. And come august it would change depending on the obivious…..if u worked out all summer at school or just outplayed the person at ur position. So for ie.
OLB
1.F.armand
2.D.Rey

i never got to the top until senior year. My good friend armand was a beast….. D stands for danny and Rey stands for reynoso. 52 was taken so i used my throwback basketball number 34.

Ohioian by birth, and lived here most of my life. Hardcore Fin fan since way back. Now for the last 2 football seasons, the Wife & I, have been lucky enough to be working in Florida. So, having been to a game or two since 1985 and now going to most home games the last couple of years………..I feel like a Dolphin “lifer”!!! AND I LOVE IT………..

I was a Shula fan and followed him over to the Dolphins when he came in 1970 and have been here ever since.

it just takes longer and doesn’t last as long

Armando Salguero.

:)

hahaha

another unorigional name here. if u couldnt guess….i am a medic. lol. i dont know why i put the mr in front of it. im not such a formal guy. matty, i am also italian, my grandparents are from palermo in sicily! its always good to know fellow gumba’s!

when you grow up with the name Vinnie Vizza and have the plethora of nices and nephews I do you become uncavinnie…then uncle vinnie but when I tried to use that as my screen name for email and etc (and this is back in like ’92) it was taken…so I used some fancy spellin and turned it into unkl (uncle) Vinnie which one of my nephews had turned into a shirt…its stuck eversince….comming here well vinnie became PHInnie as homage to the phins and the rest is history!~

RJ are my initials, 2549 are the last 4 digits of my cell

I did some public access telelvision
The first show I did was called SRTV where I played a character called The Stoned Ranger
The second was Michael Jae Project where I did a variation of my middle initial
So I came up with rangerjae to have a little bit of both

no idea why my name is in spanish bc i have no family from spain/mexico/etc.
i guess i just wanted to feel cool about myself so i became a president.. or “el presidente” for that matter. the 00 is just bc someone already took jkust el presidente… so i added some spice to it.

Mine’s from tha fact that when I found this site, I was smack in the middle of a fun-filled 15 month vacation to the glorious city of Mosul, Iraq. The DolFan part…well, you probably can figure that one out.

Now that I am back in the Good ol’ US of A, I am still using the name. It briefly changed on here, but came back by popular demand. I’ve actually started using it on other sites as well (like twitter…).
