Hmmm my username... let me try to remember....

I picked 'Lightshade' nearly 10 years ago for another board and a chatroom I'm still very active in.

But don't ask me how I had the idea... I played with a few words and somehow ended up with 'Lightshadow'. I liked it because it's an oxymoron, which did fit great for me I decided, because my personalty is a contradiction too. At least that's what everybody tells me all the time :biggrin:

After hanging out a few days with this nickname in the chatroom I desided that the flow of the name wasn't very good, so I played again with some words and ended up with 'Lightshade' :redface:

After I googled the name a couple of times the last years and nearly everywhere I register able to use him I'm even a bit proud of it. Either noone likes the name or they don't get the idea to use it :biggrin:

If you were a BELLADONNA, you could have been DEADLY NightShade

Yeah, it's not a common name here either. Apparently it is in the Southern US, but I've only met one other Cooper and he was named after me (long story)

Haha, his mom read my name in a newspaper article about activism and stuff that I did in our state for Anti-Tobacco Legislation and she apparently thought it sounded like a cool name and that I seemed like a good kid xD (I know this from a secondhand source, my friend's mom is friend's with his mom)

[albabonzai]
