oh I thought N.N. only means "nomen nominandum", but now I see it also means "nomen nescio"Nomen Nescio wrote:Yep, and probably most people signing with N.N. don't really know what N.N. stands for

My nickname is a short form for my surname.
My surname is "Ognibeni", from Ognibeni to Ogni, from Ogni to Gnu.
Simply this.
I like this nickname because it's similar to the word "Gnomic".
If you have ever read Tolkien's books, you know what I'm talking about.

Ok,
my nickname comes from a nice blue monster in a tv-show for children (Sesame Street, German: Grobi, English: Grover, I don´t know other names). Since the internet and irc grows and grows I could´t manage to get this name all the time, so I decided to get another name. That was the time when club music was a big thing in Berlin (Love Parade etc.) and people get used to shortcut words that ended with an "i" in German to let them end with an "e" somehow. So I copied this for my own nickname and kept it until now.
So far so good...

Re: for Groentje
Namen (or Namur), yes. Although I understand it all. I even know the German name for Liège/Luik: Lüttich (and in the Liègeois dialect: Lîdge )presidente wrote:Machelen.... I will be in Belgium the 12 December... I am often in Belgium for work. This time I will be in Namur (may be Namen for you)

Machelen a/d Leie is part of Zulte, between Deinze and Waregem (for the Belgian soccer fans: yes, the Zulte-Waregem who just beat Club Brugge for the Championships ) There is another Machelen, just near Brussels (Brussel or Bruxelles for us )
