"Libertine" was chosen because of my ultra-liberal nature and wild persona. It truly is an exaggerated extension of my personality. Although, the other names I considered were : SKY DADDY MR. HEAD SIMOTHY LEARY (like a simulated Tim Leary) JOHN BOY ASSKICKER & FONZIE Somehow I think the one I chose was the best.
Libertine: I think yer screen name is very f-in cool. I dig the anarchy symbol under yer username as well. RIght on. The take off on Leary's name would have been cool too.
Simothy Leary, yeah...ha ha...that one was good. Actually "Sky Daddy" is my real nickname. I got it because I was high (well, actually BAKED) one night and was on some philosophical discourse about religion and stated that I didn't know if there was a god, but I knew there wasn't a "sky daddy" version. It stuck. So, now all my friends call be "Sky Daddy" or "Skyzer" and then "Skyzix" (one friend calls me "Skeezix"... The evolution of or de-evolution of a nickname, eh? But, all my friends here just call me "Lib".
i did not chose libertine as a name because . . uh well, i hadnt thought of it. hmph. now i do still regret it. maybe a support group would be of some help, maybe even a 12-step program . . .
