artisamor
Art Is Amor is my site name not just my screen name. Since I was a little girl, I have been the biggest art geek I know. I loved it all. Painting sculpting dance, song, poetry, printing, graphics - EVERYTHING.


I always had a motto "Art Is Love" but it sounded too boring to be a site name. So I thought, okay, Im Latina, why the hell not put "Amor"? BAMMM! Art Is Amor was "born" in March 2003. I started off doing "dollz" at my old site. (http://artisamor.awardspace.com) Then i was on MySpace seeing all these sites n thought I could SOOOOOO do that so I decide to do graphics for people to actually use...



How did you sites get your start?
SharperMyspace
I had worked on a bunch of Neopets sites in the past, and I had a couple of smaller sites. I decided to open a myspace layout site, since I liked making layouts and I already had a few saved that I had made myself.

I asked my mom what I should name my site and we thought and then I came up with Sharper Myspace. I got the idea from the store Sharper Image. I thought it sounded cool.

Now I kinda wish I had named it Sharper Designs, since I am wanting to stray away from Myspace and focus more on resources. Maybe I will change in the future, but right now I don't think it is a big issue.

^That's kinda cool, actually. xD

virtualcaffeine is kind of my handle as far as site names go, but I haven't done anything with it yet because I am a failure. sad.gif I came up with the name when I was drinking a particularly good cup of coffee and it just kind of stuck. :)
highwayto4355
i've had so many site names in the past. i kept changing, switching- making up my mind then thinking about it and decide to change it.

currently, i'm using 'cuddly-teddies'

childish, cute, meh.

my partner, junie, wanted it to be cuddly-teddies because, well ; i couldn't decide so i told her to decide for us. T.T boring history. ;___;

Amaranthine

Looked up a band, their CD's, their songs, went on Wikipedia for more information then onto dictionary.com

Voila, there's my site name...I'm not very creative with names at all as you can tell.

Mine is TeeCup Designs. ( my old sn for cb was supimateecup ).

& I got the idea because when I was little I did ballet and my mom loved that i was a ballerina in training. And uh one of my first performances was to, "I'm A Little Tea Cup" so it came from there. I didn't want it to be Tea Cup, cuz for some reason I like to mispell my words or add letters like "thiis" so i changed it to Tee. & I figured I'd stick with the original "_______ Designs" kinda thing.

My current sn is Shortcake and I was gunna change my name to Shortcake but I saw a lot of other sites with that name and none with TeeCup, so I'll keep TeeCup.

When I had mine, I got it from a song I was listening to. I was just sitting as my computer listening to music and decided to use it. I don't take name for anything from my screen name pinch.gif My screen name is embaressingly 2001, but I can't come up with anything new.
CelestialAbyss
At first, my site name was Eternal Illusions... but I didn't really liek it because 1) It was just really arbitrary... I had no inspiration what so ever. and 2)In the site URL it looked like EternalIllusions when looks like I have a 4 "l" thing going on.

The I started making designs and I really like using the outer glow effect. It especially looks pretty when you use it on the star brushes in the photoshop default brushes. I wanted a name that sounded ethereal but also a bit grungy, since I love using textures too. soo... Celestial Abyss was born... and I haven't looked back. It's currently my website/CB/DeviantART/AIM/MSN screenname.

Honestly? I was just obsessed with the concept of "dreams," so Dreamscape it was. I realized later (much later) that the definition of "dreamscape" fit the style of graphic I liked to make, which was an unexpected plus.
itzjanice
oh thats cool,
my site name is teacupshortcakes LOL
goth-nina
Oblivion is my site name.
Obviously, i got it from a song by 30 Seconds to Mars shifty.gif
I started to see it, not just a song, the word actually meant something
to me. Oblivion is such a explosive name. Means the end of everything. I like it. biggrin.gif I totally love Oblivion.

I've had quite a few sites, all of which failed.
I had Norway, ColdToTheTouch, and some french one.

I usually name some of the past sites I had after my favorite band song or a name that has a good meaning.
Blaqheartedstar
would of gone with Blaqheartedstar.com but sadly people searching for it made the .com taken by those retarded advertisement companies.

Silentatmosphere was a totally random choice... no actual meaning to it. sounded nice, went with it.
amplifyy
Commerical.

That's pretty neat, your mom helping you and all.

Avierspeil.net

I wanted something foriegn. So I picked an object I'm fond of a piano, I ran a search for Piano in German, I got Klavierspiel, which means piano playing. I couldn't register that, because it was already taken, so I knocked off the first couple of letters and got avierspiel :)
