Thread: gpsweetness

Unlike some other people, I never took you for a girl because you don't post like one IMO, but I still have no clue what your screen name means. Is it a secret, or have you already explained it somewhere and I missed it.... or should we all start posting our ideas about the true meaning of "gpsweetness"?

I didn't no gpsweetness was a girl either. LOL
Maybe "gp" are the initials & "sweetness", well, that's self explanatory.

According to Anas ibn Malik, when
God's Messenger said, 'Help your
brother, irrespective of whether he is the
oppressor or the oppressed,' a man said,
'O Messenger of God, I can help the
oppressed, but how can I help the
oppressor?' The Prophet replied,
'Stop him from committing an act of
oppression. That in itself is
a form of help.'

Ok ok. G is my first initial. My parents spelled my name Jamaal but in Egyptian arabic it is Gamaal like Gamaal Abdel Nasser. There is only one letter for j and g in arabic. P is for Pasha, an old egyptian nobility title. Sweetness is what my wife calls me, I dont know where she could have got that from. I am a smartass.

I was thinking GP meant "general practitioner"

You'd be "dpsweetness" in Czech then, cause that's how we transcript the sound that's usually "j" or "g" in written English (as in, Džamál Abdel Násir). But damn, I too had some more creative ideas....

Now I am curious. Can i guess that your first name is Helena? Which is a lovely name by the way.

Thanks, but it actually isn't my first name in the 3D world. I got it from this book: Amazon.com: The Name Book: Books: Pierre Le Rouzic
It "groups" names hased on their characteristics, and my name is in the group "led" by Helena. I found the characteristic pretty fitting, so ever since I read the book (about 10 years ago), I've thought of "Helena" as my middle name (I don't have a middle name really, most Czechs don't). Plus, there have been some Helenas among my ancestors. I'm usually "Helena" to creepy strangers who hit on me, and, not that this is related, it's the only nickname I've ever used on the internet too. But, when I joined my first internet forum in 2004, I didn't think I'd become a regular, or I'd have chosen something fancier.

Fancy Schmancy. I like it. Thats a neat way to pick a nickname.
