    Lyra- first name of one of the main characters in His Dark Materials.
    Fangs- because of my love of vampires.
    I made the name when I was about 14 and i've never thought of anything better since. (not very creative) :p


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,884 ✭✭✭Eve_Dublin


    I kind of regret the lack of imagination used thinking up my nickname but even now I can't think of anything cool or clever. Eve is the shortened version of my first name and Dublin is where I'm from. Yawn. Zzzzzz. I guess I like it's directness and lack of pretentiousness though. Says something about me I guess.

    I figured mine would be rather self explanatory. I love them both, especially riding them!!!;) I raise Morgan Horses, here's a pic of my lovely Celtic Lady (I'm new here so I hope I can get these pics to post right):

    And this is me and my daughter on my current bike. I'm hoping to get my Heritage Softail by this time next year, but I'll have to sell a few more horses first, LOL:

    The icywind part comes from someone telling me I was cold like an icy wind way back in the day, on aol. Chat people come up with the funniest things when trying to impress each other. And 1980 is my birth year.

    It's fairly obvious when I think about it.

    It was an interchangeable family reference, originally between three brothers, sadly now two - may you live in peace for ever, Donal.
    It needs to be pronounced in Donal's best, put-on, flat, North Midlands accent to get the sense of it...... He'ld want you to practice it a lot.

    Nice!! Live at Donington 92 is one of my all time classic tunes!


    My ex used to call me TC (i think because it sounds like my name). I loved Topcat as a kid and as his buddies used to call him TC i liked it as a nickname and hung on to it as my username.
