My nickname is ''Rambo''. I guess I don't need to explain it...
I'm not a macho kind of guy, but our names are similar, hence the nickname. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

If you want to pronounce it the way a German would, it's actually "ma TEE as", with the middle syllable rhyming with bee, see, lee, etc. "ma TAI as" is the American pronunciation. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

My name is Iversen, and for some reason people often change this into Iverson, which would have been my name if I had been named according to Swedish name practice
Literally it means 'son of Iver'. Iver is a very old name in Danish, where it mostly was written as "Ivar", which may go even further back to a reconstructed Proto-Nordic form "InhuharjaR". At some point in our history we stopped naming ourself after our own fathers (as the Icelanders still do), and somebody whose father was named Iver thus inadvertently passed on the name "Iversen" to a whole host of descendants, including me. In Irish it would be O'Iver In Scottish Gaelic it would be MacIver In Russian something like Ivervitch (Ивервич) In Swedish it would be Iverson (but more likely Ivars(s)on) In English it is apparently also Iverson In Iceland it would be Johansónur, because my own father was called Johan In some languages a patronym based on the genitive of a name is used instead of 'son of': In some parts of Friesland it would be Ivers In Latin Iveri In Greek maybe something like like Ιβερούς (actually I ask myself this moment what the genitive of a word like καλοριφέρ 'radiator' might be) In Spanish my nick would be Iversen y Ebbesen, because my mother's maiden name was Ebbesen (also a name with its roots firmly planted into Old Nordic soil) Edited by Iversen on 11 February 2012 at 8:52am 2 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

My nickname Brun Ugle is Norwegian and means Brown Owl. 茶色の梟 in Japanese.
I like to use this name in various languages as my user name on different sites. The name stems from a dream I had many years ago in which I was a small brown owl (I don't know what species). In the dream, I was purely owl. I had no sense or memory of any human identity. I lived in kind of cupola or small belfry on top of an abandoned wooden schoolhouse or church. There was no bell, but there was a pole going across where one might once have hung. I roosted there. The only other things I remember from the dream where flying in twilight, and a fight I had with three crows who came to attack me. (I don't remember who won, but since it was 3 against 1, I suspect it might not have been me.) So now I know what it is to be an owl, and I keep that as part of my identity. 2 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||
