All I really know is that its an OLD german name. My great great grandparents came over from Germany, and somehow decided Nebraska was the best place in the nation. go figure.

I'm so sorry to disappoint all of you, but mine is pretty boring. I was born about seven weeks early and it was considered somewhat of a miracle that I survived. When I was eventually brought home from the hospital all the people in the small North Dakota town I lived in called me Little Brucie. When I was seven years old my family moved from that town. For many years we would return to that town annually to visit grandparents. Each year the residents would see how much I had grown since I was no longer little. But, the name became almost legendary in a very small way. So, when I was picking a username it just popped into my head.

Man, did I ever kill that thread. Talk about your schreeching halt. I better change my username in a hurry. I guess I'll have to pick some macho, tough guy sounding name with some sexual innuendo tossed in.

my username is the same name that I DJ and produce music under. it originated from the greek mythological creature called Khronos (Chronus in latin) the god of time, who was supposedly the first being in existance.

"KRHONOS was the PROTOGONOS of time who emerged self-formed at the very beginning of time. He was an incorporeal being, serpentine in form with three heads - that of a man, a bull, and a lion. He and his mate, the serpentine Ananke (Inevitability), entwined the world-egg in their coils and split it apart, forming the ordered universe of earth, sea and sky."

the mythological figure "Kronos" is very similar, the god of time as it affects the course of human life. He was the father of zeus and haides, and was later expelled to rule the Elysian fields.

I found this fairly interesing, and it sounded good to me, so I picked it up as my DJ name.

Norvin! You made that up, right. That's not a name that I've ever heard of.
