User:Dantman/Nickname Meanings
From Animepedia
Definitions of Various Nicknames of mine have been requested at times. This is a list of nicknames with certain meanings.
[edit] Dantman
I've used Dantman for a very long time. In fact, I use it just about everywhere. Dantman could also be written as DanTMan if you want to understand what parts are what. The name is a condensed version of the common Dan The Man nickname. Basically by changing The into T. I came up with it when quickly trying to find a nickname to register with for a game, and since then it's really stuck.
[edit] Nadir Seen Fire
This one just struck me when I was searching for a good nickname. I was looking for Anagrams of various names relating to me, (Daniel Friesen (My real Name), Daniel Darien (Daniel is My name, Darien is the name of the split-personality I had for half a week), and Darien Friesen (Would be the full name of the split-personality)). And one of the sets of Anagrams included Nadir, I looked up the definition, and liked what Nadir Seen Fire meant when you think about it.
- na·dir (neɪdər[ney-der], neɪdɪər[ney-deer])
- Astronomy: the point on the celestial sphere directly beneath a given position or observer and diametrically opposite the zenith.
- Astrology: the point of a horoscope opposite the midheaven: the cusp of the fourth house.
- the lowest point; point of greatest adversity or despair.
When you combine Nadir meaning lowest point, Seen meaning what is seen, and Fire of course flame. You basically get something meaning the Lowest Seen Point in a Fire; Or otherwise, the blue or hottest point in the fire you can see with your eyes.
As such, if you want a shortened form of Nadir Seen Fire to call me. Don't use Nadir, use BlueFlame. Because BlueFlame and Nadir Seen Fire mean the same thing. While Nadir just means Lowest Point.
