Screen names: How did you come up with yours?

[amrdh5]

The first two letters of my name (Amanda) rdh stands for Registered Dental Hygienist and the 5, I had been a dental hygienist for five years at the time.

 

[trukinlady]

I drove a semi with my husband for 12 years. I had wanted to drive a truck since I was a child, and the opportunity came when I was laid off from the factory I worked at. My husband trained me, and we eventually drove over a million miles together.
I had to quit driving because of health issues. I miss driving A LOT! The old saying goes--truckin is in your blood-to stay!
The spelling variation is the only one that wasn't taken when I first created it 10 years ago.

 

[cappuccina]

I like that, trukinlady!

Mine was my nickname in college because I worked at this little tiny cafe that sold espressos and fancy coffees decades before there were StarBucks, etc. I was ALWAYS rushing around making cappuccinos and other types of "fancy" coffees on this huge espresso machine the owner had imported from Spain (quite unusual in Wisconsin 30 years ago LOL), and hence my name, with the "a" on the end because I'm a girl....

 

[5cardstud]

I did this once on another thread. Mine came from when I was younger spending days and hour after hour playing 5card stud. It was harder on me physically than any job I ever had.

 

[trukinlady]

cappuchina;

I am a bona fide coffee drinker, but I stay away from the espresso! It gives me the jjjjjitttters! Of course it would have been helpful all those long nights I drove! I like your nic too.

 

[VaporTransmission]

Vapor Transmission: 2nd album from 90's punk synth band Orgy ( see wiki as I cant post links yet First thing "vapor" orented that came to mind when I was in a hurry to join the forum

 

[MonsterKenny]

The name i was given by many... I create monsters and gross things for horror films!

 

[Rambosmurf]

Co-workers gave it to me. Firearms/Weapons Instructor. Tipping the height scale at 5'5". Original uniforms color - Blue.
Other nickname was "Figget". Last part was for migget, first part started with F...you can figure out what it was short for.

 

[KPKicker]

My screen name is a shortened version of a Fantasy Football Team I used to have. I called them the "Kickapoo .... Kickers" due the fact that I live in the town of Kickapoo. I decided to use that as a screen name on another forum, but dropped the "....". However, this turned into "Kickapoo Kicker" which made it sound like I was walking around kicking Native Americans who are part of the Kickapoo Tribe.

So, I abbreviated Kickapoo into KP, and voila! There you have it.

 

[marty_j35]

Mine was easy to come up with, it's the same name I sell on eBay under lol.

 

[shanobi187]

mine is the same screen name I use on my playstation online handle. It's been my gaming name for a long, long time.

 

[Belhade]

Someone once asked if he could have a "piece of Candy"(my real name is Candice, no I'm not a stripper!)... so I just tweaked it to my own taste, plus the leaning tower of Pisa has to be one of the coolest things ever

Heh, my wife's name is Candice...if anyone ever calls her "Candy" they promptly get kicked in the most sensitive area she can reach!

 

[mistinthewoods]

Speaking of screen names I kind of hate mine. I was in a weird place when I joined and it seems lame now. The meaning is too obvious (I live in the woods and I vape).
See? Stupid.
Does anyone know how I can change it?

 

[msroulette]

When I got my first computer...a LONG LONG time ago...I was talking with a new ICQ friend trying to figure out a cool screen name. I worked in a casino as a dealer. He thought that was just so cool, and my name had to have something to do with it. I told him I can't name myself "BJ" (as I was a blackjack dealer). My favorite game to deal was roulette. So, I thought that would work. My friend thought adding the "ms" to the front to specify me as a female was sexy...and voila! I have used this same name for 15 years or so. Many of the friends I've met online through various forms of PM, IM and chat just shorten it and call me Rou.

 

[boomboom]

At work, I was always dropping the "F" bomb in the most inappropriate situations and my co-workers would be waiting for the "boom" in my statements. Thus, boomboom was born. I have since curtailed my use of the word in those inappropriate situations.

 

[NCC]

When I got my first computer...a LONG LONG time ago...I was talking with a new ICQ friend trying to figure out a cool screen name.

I used to use ICQ (and AIM after quitting AOHell). My ICQ #5342363 ... notice, only 7 digits. A LONG, LONG time ago.

 

[msroulette]

I had a 7 digit number..have long since stopped using ICQ though...went through the whole chatter phase, have used ICQ, mIRC (even had my own code), MSN, Yahoo, AOhelL, and a few others. I have never run into another person using my complete screen name, but have run across a couple other Rou's.

 

[Elendil]

Also my avatar is from the best film of 2009

Steel Magnolias ?

 

[Paranoyed]

My screen name is based on one of my favorite songs from one of the true gods of rock. I use this name for all of my online gaming and site handles. I intentionally misspelled it so that I wont have to worry about it being taken. Yes I named myself based on Ozzy's Paranoid. My avatar is me getting off the lift after going down the widowmaker at Snowshoe Mountain in shorts and a sleeveless shirt.

 

[stubear62]

Well, mine is very simple.
Stu (correct way of the 1st 3 letters spelling my name) as everyone would spell it stew (WRONG)...
bear as what my second wife has been calling me as when I get angry I roar like a bear. 62 is my birth yr.
Hence - stubear62..
Also my PS3 and XBOX screen names..
