How'd You Choose Your ECF Member Name?

[IntelligentDesigner]

Well it seems as if there were 99958 others using the initials TJ when I chose it. Besides, tj sounds a lot better than many of the other things I've been called.

Did you try all 99,958 other ones? Are you sure "tj00004" wasn't already taken? I'd've just saved the time and covered all other bases with something like "tj8billion". Then if everybody else in the world had taken all the tj names, you'd still have some wiggle room.

[Chimney34]

Now that I've read this thread, as I cruise around the forum I see these names and have a more personal connection. In the back of my mind it's like...oh yeah, I remember his/her story on how the name came to be.

So to Chimney, thanks for starting this thread. . It really puts a human touch to what is essentially an impersonal medium.

Thanks! I agree! I didn't know if I'd get a lot of responses but we're all here for essentially for the same thing! This forum & it's members have all helped us in some way! It's nice to see another side to the people that post & respond to my posts everyday or just members in general! Plus they're a lot of great stories! Hopefully it keeps going!

take what you read there with a grain or maybe 5 grains of salt. WHile totally intended to be somewhat humorous, they have taken the oddest and strangest parts of the worlds religons, balled them into this wibbily wobbly timey wimey ball of stuff and gotten them selves reckognized as a religon by the federal government.

I'll pull the wool over my own eyes!

but yeah, its very real. and very fun at the same time.

and because you must have a frop, or frop tainer(basicly a pipe) of some king being a vaper its fits.

[LongDraw]

I first went with my actual name, jacob and some random numbers. After a few weeks and the fact I actually posted, usually lurk forums, I realized vaping I take a LongDraw, and thought it sounded good, kinda makes me feel like a cowboy haha.

 

[loisandklark]

So loisandklark is a joint handle.

My handle when I met my beloved was actually "sooperchyk" which I still use today for my solo adventures online.

I am a huge Superman fan, he is a huge Batman fan (among MANY MANY other things).

He showed me the rest of the comic book world & I didn't make him sell his Comic Books and Action Figures when we got hitched.

We have been using loisandklark as our joint handle for about 10 years now.

We're nerds.

I know.

 

[plastictree]

Mines simple. Random name I made up 8 years ago for gaming

[TakenALeft67]

Mines from a joke my friends and I came up with way back in middle school. Funny the things that stick with you.

 

[Mud Pie]

Mine is from the name of my first car that my dad gave me in 1975 (I was 14) under one condition; "You fix it, you can have it". I did. It was a 1954 Willys M38A1 Army Jeep. Yes, OD green, stars and registration numbers on the hood; the whole 9 yards. Someone in the military named that Jeep "Mud Pie" and painted it under the windshield. When I drove it around, it was always "Here comes Mud Pie !". Then during the CB craze, naturally my handle was Mud Pie. Years later in 1983 when I got an online presence (remember BBS's, then CompuServe, then Prodigy ?), Mud Pie followed. All these years later, hi, I'm Mud Pie.

 

[Datalux]

Same name I have been using for years and years since my Compuserve days in the late 80's. Needed a name when I joined the service and looked around my desk and saw a bunch of 5-1/4 disks in one of those Rolodex type disk holders with the plastic lid (if anyone remembers those). Brand name on the front said Dataloc - changed a couple letters and Tada! my screen name was born! Now several companies have named themselves Datalux after obviously having seen my screen name....<sigh> Who would have thought I would start a trend.

 

[VetSGT]

Mine comes from lack of originality. But rank upon leaving service....eventually......one day

 

[Kelly Mo2B]

I didn't put much thought into mine. My name is Kelly and I'm the mother of 2 boys. After reading things here for months, I finally joined when I was ready to start with the whole vp thing and wanted to hurry up and start posting.

 

[lynch]

Mine is another simple one, I live in Lynchburg,Va so I took lynch. The photo is from my
smoking days

 

[Jixchel]

Mine is easy enough, had a cat named Ixchel, which was named after an Aztec goddess, and the j is the first letter of my first name, So it is Jixchel, or Jixi as I am known on other sites LOL

 

[TigerLadyTX]

When I was very small, my grandpa nicknamed me "tenacious tiger" because of the fact that anything my brother's, cousins, or uncles did, I was bound and determined to do as well. I was the first female born into that side of the family in over 30 years....I was NOT going to be stuck inside the house with the women while the men were out fishing or hunting. I was going to fish and hunt right along side of them and out do them whenever possible.

Anyway, as I got older, the "tenacious" part of the nickname fell by the wayside and just about everyone in my family just called me Tiger. For whatever reason, many people on forums where I used the nickname Tiger assumed I was male... So I started using the handle TigerLady so they knew I was female. Whenever possible, I use TigerLady as my forum handle and it its unavailable, I stick TX on the end since I am Texan.
