The Origami Forum

my nickname means the paper wasp (google it)
i chose it because i fold paper and support the wasps (football team)

My nickname's about... 8 characters long...

Also, I made it up when I was younger. I had an idea to draw a combination of Death (the grim reaper) and a seraph (six-winged angel), and I wanted to give him a name. Since he was an angel, and also carried a scythe, I used "Lucifer" as a basis, because "Lucifer" means "light bearing" (among others), from the Latin. The Latin for light is "lux".
Instead of bearing light, though, my character bore a scythe, so I looked up the Latin for "scythe", which is "Falx". And because they both end in "x", I decided that the two words could be used in the same way, i.e. I could exchange "Luc" for "Falc" to create "Falcifer" to mean "scythe-bearing".

I didn't pay much concern to whether it was actually correct, but I used it a lot for different sites, and usually it's not taken.
According to Google Translate, though, "falcifer" does translate as "scythe-bearing".

its true!


funny how i had to look up how to take a screen shot XD

Third tab over- "how to take a screenshot". XD

Edit: It's pointed out below, nevermind...

Not sure if it was dumb, but it was funny to see, lol.

wow

well my name came from origami and trouble came from my mom (its not talking about me)

My nickname, Akairyuu is Japanese for Red Dragon; "Aka" meaning red, "ryuu" meaning Dragon and the extra "i" is some sort of Grammer thing that someone said I had to put in from a forum I visited ages ago.

The main reasons why I Called myself Akairyuu is because I'm very into the Japanese culture and language and I, as you may have guessed, am very drawn to Dragons
At first I was going to call myself the Japanese name for Blue Dragon , Aoiryuu since blue's my favourite colour but Akairyuu rolled off the tongue better so I just stuck with it.

Nickname: Not going to even elaborate...
Name: pointed it out like 3 or 4 times, but its tom.

My one came just after I had been reading a modern learning article on albert einstein (encouraging schools to convert to visualised learning, as it enables a person to be much more intelligent, than if they were schooled with the current learning system), and then decided to join the forum, so it's completely random inspiration. I then decided, as this name represents me, I may as well label myself as "the modern einstein", even if it may be false advertising as some people think. I do not claim this nickname has any particular relation to my personality or intelligence.

I wanted my nickname to be short, easy to remember and I wanted it to relate to origami. That's how Fold came about.
