I really want to know what the names of the other users here means (some are obvious, but the others are new to me) so I put up this thread. Here's mine:
Nina is the reoccuring name of the female leads of the Breath of Fire series, opposite Ryu, the reoccurring name of the male leads. Every Nina symbolizes birds (having wings), while all Ryus symbolize (and are actually) dragon in human form.
I read somewhere that Lumos means "Light" in some language, maybe Latin (?). This is in contrast to Dryuu's name, which he keeps saying means Dark Dragon.
Where did your names come from?

Well ryu does mean dragon in Japanese. As for dark dragon I'm not completely sure. But either way this should be an interesting thread, nice idea.
I don't think that I need to elaborate too much for mine. This is taken from the fallen archangel of light himself, Lucifer. I like to associate it more with the fallen angel aspect more than the actual devil, it gives it more of a conflict of good vs. evil as it embodies both in the same being. The purest of good as well as the darkest of evil. As for the Roman numerals at the end, its simply the rest of the name of an online account I got from a friend many years ago. It was that account that I got the full name LuciferIX.

Matt is correct, Ryu means nothing more than simply 'dragon' if used in that context.
Cos I had no f**king clue what to use as a username on FF.net

Well, my name is actually Dave, so that explains that part.
I did a course in Ornamental Fish Management at college, and when I made some new friends, and told them about said course, they often refered to me as "Fishman", "Fish Guy" or "Fish Dude".
So I just adopted one of those nicknames when I went online.

I chose the name cascade after the Cascade badge. And because I associate the name with things such as waterfalls, rain, the ocean, well pretty much just water in general. The 88 is at the end coz I was born in the year 1988.

^Anything just to increase post count.  Anyway, Dryuu is simply Ryu with the prefix of Dr-, plus an extra "u". The prefix easily stands for the vampiric tendencies of the character. So, it could also take to mean "dark". Dryuu is the name of the alter-ego of my "Fiction incarnation" of Ryu, the hero, and an anti-hero. In my story(the first, but discontinued story), Ryu succumbs to the darkness in his soul, turning into the demonic demi-dragon. However, he fights for good(sort of), and against the forces of Chaos, the villain(not from Final Fantasy). This is done by having Nina(childhood friend, love interest and fiance) reach out for what remains of Ryu's soul. Like mentioned, that story is now discontinued, and feeling regret for it, adapted the name for my own use. As for my current name, well, it's simply a way of redeeming myself, but still includes Ryu. However, how can I redeem myself when those who wrong me keep doing it even after I returned? |

Now, time to get started.
Jb is my first and last initials, but the b is lowercase. Storm comes from the fact that I was born during that blizzard in New York during '93 (also known infamously as the, "Storm of the Century." Yeah, I'm one big, lucky SOB since I survived then.). Burst, can come from either one of these facts:
a) I love Starburst.
b) I grew pretty big for a premie (Yes, I'm even more lucky at this point).
The ADV is considered the most recognized suffix to identify an AdvanceShippers by, plus I added it out of honor to the other AdvanceShipper.

I was sick of using Sakura1000 on a Naruto forum (that I hate and I will never go on again.) I was also tired of trying to be: Narutogirl11. So one day it hit me; Naruto Ninja44.
Reasons:
1). Naruto's my favorite show, and I love the character himself.
2). I wanted to be a ninja at the time. (Stupid 12 year old brain.xD)
3). 44 is my all time favorite number, so I had to add it in.
4). When I used it, everyone didn't refer to me as same old Sakura/Sakura1000/1000. But instead I got lots of nicknames: NN, NN44, NN4, Ninja, Ninja4, Ninja44, Naurto4, Naruto44, Naurto, Naru44, Naru-chan, NarutoNinja, and many more. It made me feel important and good knowing that people could come up with so many names.
5). Cause I am the only Naruto Ninja44 on the internet (except on youtube, I use Naruchu44, but thats another story), trust me, I've checked many times (even today).=)
