Hi, I’m Matthew. I have created many alias for myself. Too many to actually think I would keep them all, but most of all, I think it’s because I cannot stick with one. So, I think I’m done with them all, because once I start working, my real name’s going to be the most important one.
Original Name: Matthew (I’ve been called other variations such as Matt, Mattchu, Mafew, Madu, etc.)
My original name’s a given name by birth and it’s on my birth certificate. Not just an English name, it was my birth name. It’ll be my name until I die, and even until after my death. I was named after the first book of the New Testament of the Bible.
First Alias: Tiger7wwjd
This was just something I came up with by adding several things that I thoroughly enjoy and felt part of my life. At this current moment, there isn’t much tiger7wwjd stuff out there, probably because I’ve stopped using it in a very long time. Flickr is one of them, and I still use that as my base of old things that doesn’t change often, for example, ICQ (chat program – and I have not used that in a very long times). This name was from 3 separate things. A number (7) because it was a universal number (wasn’t because it was my top favorites). WWJD – What would Jesus do. I heard a song sang by the Big Tent Revival (I believe it was a band), titled What Would Jesus Do, and I just liked it. Also, it was a way for me to remind myself of it. As far as Tiger goes, it was from Monster Rancher. If any of you watched the original Monster Rancher cartoon, there’s a character by the name of Tiger. Well, he was the coolest of all monsters, so I decided to take him. My other choice was Wolf, but I thought the name was short of a syllabus.
Second Alias: Matsuke
Long after, Matsuke was used. Why? Don’t really know. I just had ‘Mat’ from my name obviously and ’suke’ from… honestly, I have no idea. I just chose it. It became something I have kept up with for almost a year now and probably will use it as my next regular online Alias. Thus this blog is matsuke.wordpress.com. My personal website (I’m planning on making a new layout) is matsukex.com (the x was just an extra).
Third Alias: Axsynth
This name was made up by a friend named Kevin. I wanted something with the “Ax” sound in it and he just based it on the word Absinthe (I think that’s the one). Anyway, there is no correlation between me and the word that it’s based on. It was just cool sounding and Kevin just so happen to pick something that I like. So, Axsynth was used, and it is at current moment, my player profile. I think I’ll keep it that way to differentiate everything.
So, there you have it, a run down on the most used name for me. Even with so many names, in the end I am still only Matthew.
