mine's pretty obvious, it comes from a lovely t-shirt I own (and not because I'm an African conservationist!)

[DeterminedJuliet]

My passport.
It's not my given name.  I've been known as Willow since about 1999.  I hated my given name, so changed it.  Willow is a tree name, and at the time I chose it was gender neutral, but has since become quite strongly feminine.  I did my deed poll legally changing my name in 2003 so that I could get married as Willow.

Even my mum calls me Willow these days.

Willow from Buffy the Vampire Slayer was awwwessomme!

[Tankcaster]

My first name is Hank. Nickname is Tank. Last name is Lancaster. Throw the nick and last names together you get Tankcaster. The first time I ever used it was for my Xbox live gamer tag. It's quite unusual so it's almost never taken.

[SuperiorEd]

I wrote the book, The Superior Educator.  The book deals with the task of mirroring Confucius and his Superior Man in the classroom.  The question asked in the book is, "What does it take to become a Superior Educator?"  My username, SuperiorEd does not imply I am superior.  It actually implies the practice of a calm and assertive approach to classroom management where the dignity of the student is preserved by the elimination of bias against others.   Too often, teachers resort to practices in the classroom with discipline that they would never consider if the parent were sitting in the back of the room.  Bias builds ground for the other person to stand against you in a debate.  Best to speak for the other person in the manner they should be speaking for themselves.  This makes an even field for discussion to preserve dignity of the individual.  POST 10

This should be an interesting topic, I hope.

So, what does your username mean?


I myself am not creative with names, the xs are to put some balance the name on either side and give it some  symmetry. I like the word  Silver more than I like the colour, metal or any qualities associated with it, so in the username it goes. Phin or Phinx, as some see it, is a secret. It can mean different things to different people. Muahaha.  <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/devil.gif" alt="" title="devil" />

Should be called the Rare Educator, then.

True.  Students can blossom like a flower when they are loved and accepted no matter their station in life or their ability to reason.  Positive can only add to positive or cancel negative.  Negative can only add more negative.  This is true for all aspects of life.

Sounds...rather Confucian right there.

I'm wary of people who speak like that. Sounds manipulative.
