My username is pretty much random. I thought it sounded cool and just changed the first letter for a striking effect and done.

My real name means something along the lines of "God's messenger". Which is quite ironic since I'm not religious at all.

Víctor means winner and Ventura means luck or happiness. So it means "Lucky winner" or "Happy winner". Not wrong at all.

My username is just a mishmash between both words :P

>mfw everyone has cool name meanings and mine is just ordinary in comparison

Anyway, real name, "Vikalp", means 'alternative/option'. It is the hindi word for alternative, to be more specific. Even in India, the name is pretty rare so maybe that's a plus? Even though it isn't extraordinary, it still is unique. And I've come to love it over the years /brick'd

derozio is, well, the name of a philosopher I came across once in my history textbook. Was a foreigner who actually identified himself as an Indian and was one of the philosophers who lived during the "British rule over India" period. I picked it as the username because I personally thought it looked and sounded really cool. And I've stuck to it over the years. In fact, almost all of my usernames on every damn website are the same as this one.

people do call me dero tho and i like that. nothing to do with the topic really but i just thought i'd say that

Real name:
From the Hebrew name מִיכָאֵל (Mikha'el) meaning "who is like God?". This is a rhetorical question, implying no person is like God. Michael is one of the seven archangels in Hebrew tradition and the only one identified as an archangel in the Bible.
My username is completely unrelated; it was given to me by a user here, who I was good friends with. 'Limey' is a nickname given to Brits/people from England, and 'chan' is some form of endearment or something. I'm really not too sure, but I liked the name, and it was infinitely better than 'Cooltrainer_Mike', so I kept it.

Nicholas - From the Greek name Νικολαος (Nikolaos) which meant "victory of the people" from Greek νικη (nike) "victory" and λαος (laos) "people".
I've always been fond of my name and Greek names in general, they always seem to mean cool things, haha. My name (Nickolas) is spelled with a K though, not an H.

In elementary school, I remember our class going to the library to look up the meaning of our names in a name dictionary. The librarian said that my name meant dedicated. I asked what does the word dedicated mean. She said it means sticking to things until they get done. And that phrase has carried me forwarded in life ever since.
Not sure what my name actually means. I've always assumed Chase would mean something like "someone who is always on the run". Probably very inaccurate but I don't really care the meaning behind it.

On another note, I used Urban Dictionary to define me and got a good laugh from it.

You have the original spelling, so kudos; the ch is a Germanic alteration iirc

imo Nickolas > Nicholi > Nicholas tbh

According to urbandictionary, my name means "A laid back, very flirtatious guy who is strong and well endowed. He's everyone's friend and is sweet, but he can can beat your ass if you push him over the edge."

I have no idea what it really means, or if it has a meaning at all.

My username is a spin on the word "euphoria".

Just out of curiosity, I had to try this. And this is what showed up:

"The ***** Effect
When a person has the effortless ability to get/pull/attract/reel in girls. It can be used to many peoples advantage. A male who has the ***** Effect can just stand still and girls will flock to him. He is also often compared to look like a certain celebrity, adding to the effect."

This actually may hold true in some cases. Hardly a day goes by without a woman complementing my eyes. And I'm also likened to some guy on Grey's Anatomy. No clue.

My name (real name) has family significance and means "beautiful," though going by the etymology, it could also mean "the light and sound of god." Pretty cool.

My username on here is just Shiva + the initials of my last names. I have food allergies, so I always thought it was funny how Shiva seems to be allergic to milk or something. But now that I know Shiva cheats on his "wife..." with his brother... I kinda wish I had chosen Kali to put there instead.

My username is just a thing I came up with one day looking at the hot choclety milk meme. Hot choclety milk + my favorite starter = awesome.

As for my real name, it means "graceful wolf". Gracie is a derivitive of Grace, which obvs means graceful, and Gish means wolf in some other language that I can't remember. :/
