There's more than one Pompeii? Now I'm confused :sweat:

Well..there's this film and of course the book about the last day of pompeii. Somewhere during 79 AD mount vesuvius erupted with horrifying force destroying the Roman cities of Pompei and Hercu...(let me remember...give me moment).......herculaneum. So that's where I thought..And Vibius was longing for his Urbana...Oh well, I'm no history expert. I just read a bit but knows just 0.5% hehehehe..mind my knowledge :beaten:

mine it's my name !

Oh! oh! oh! I gotcha, you were refering to a title ... I thought you might be saying like the last pompeii, as distinguished from some other pompeii.

When I was in Pompeii, I made an ash of myself!
My brother was in Herculaneum. He got stoned!

Pompeii up the Volume!

whoa, all these wierd nickname origins. as for me, im a huge final fantays fan, i was first raijin then modified that abit to raijin_007 then to dark cloud. been that for 3 years now

My full name is sort of long, and I've been called Shani pretty much my whole life.

Groink, I think you may have turned me off Mentos. Permanently. *reaches for airsick bag*

I dunno how i got my nick, when i was in high school this guy use to call me ho chi minh... never adopted that... but then this guy at work started callin' me choy, so i decided to put a Mr. in front of it. Besides its my last name.... :hehe:

Damn! I was trying to figure out what the kanji for KouSeiya was!

One combination I came up with is "body cavity"/"Christmas Eve". Which reminds me of an amusing little personal anecdote about the holidays...

J/K x billions! :nut: :nut: :nut:

Actually, the Seiya could be "starry night" ... and maybe Kou is "light" ... so it's like "starlight"? That's a pretty name.

You were born on the Ides of March! That should be easy for people to remember. I was just saying to Caesar the other day to beware the Ides of March, because it would be bad if he forgot your birthdya.

LOL, when my birthday is coming, I tell people "Beware the Ides of March" and nobody knows what I'm talking about >__< I guess I was the only one of my friends forced to read Julius Caesar in high school :beaten: The only reason I remember that is b/c of my birthday :hehe: Most of my friends use St. Patrick's Day to remember, it's 2 days before that.

Yeah, "kou" is for light in this case. The Sailor Starlights each had the last name Kou (or was it the first names? I forget). I don't remember the kanji that was used for Seiya, if any......back when I watched Sailor Stars, I couldn't read Japanese much. It's been years since I watched it :beaten: But "starry night" would make sense. Actually, Golgo_13-ojisan said that "kouseiya" was a phrase used in Kansai-ben or something, so he first asked me if I stayed in Osaka when I was studying in Japan....oops. I forget what he said it meant...

So that's the source! I had no idea where it came from. Before helping with UTSR with you, I thought Amika was your first name, so I thought you were a female. :sweat:

if u a Gundam fans you will know it from GUNDAM SEED ;) , Freedom is used by Kira, Freedom the best Gundam in Gundam Seed

Heh, by coincidence, my office mate and I were talking about the Ides at the beginning of March... I remembered it was from a Shakespeare story, but incorrectly said it was from Macbeth.... Same author, different tragedy. :hehe:

My nickname came from the fact that whenever my gf and I argue, she would ALWAYS call me "Aho". And I would always respond by saying "Ahochaude!" And of course, my 'senpai' always calls me an "aho". :rolleyes:
