Usernames...what made you pick yours?

[PaulB]

Bendover....Rock'n'Roll band from Finland as well as British actor I'm using this username almost in every forum.

So the first name is "Ben" or "Bend?" (Can anybody remember which Chevy Chase movie used that as a punchline when his character was put in prison?)

 

[mistinthewoods]

I live in the woods and emit mist.

 

[mj79]

I consider myself a juggalo (a "fan" of Insane Clown Posse and Psychopathic Records)

And I use Linux because it's fun, almost fully customizable, and it's free. I still dual boot my laptop with Linux Mint AND Windows XP, just because I can't find a youtube downloader or a youtube to mp3 converter.

So it is - JuggaLinux

IMO , ICP went downhill... straight downhill after the Great Milenko CD.. Everything else was just meh... THe new stuff..?? Wow.. complete garbage

 

[dirtracer]

Its what I do for entertainment.

 

[snxmstr]

Snxmstr is actually "snacksmaster", a nickname I got as a middle school librarian. I was always offering snacks to get the kids to come to my programs

 

[glowgirl]

My first name is Gabrielle and my last name starts with L and I was raised in Oakland so my nickname as a kid was G-Lo. Like J-Lo.....because I have a big rump. G-Lo evolved into just plain Glow and that became Glowgirl. It's all because of my backside.

[irwink]

Just curious as to why everyone chose their username? Is it just random or a good story behind it! Please share!
I chose my name because it kinda rhymes and has to do with vaping to a degree. Not very exciting, but it is what it is! lOL!

Easy. My username is my name, sorta. It's from an old database user name - last name, first initial. It has a certain ring. I was always tempted to use something with a graphical symbol appended by, "The User Formerly Known as xxx" but most forums won't accept that much text for a username. That plus I never could settle on a graphical representation of myself that I could assign to the keyboard.

 

[madcow]

I chose madcow because "May_Violently_Toss_ Cookies_Without_Being_Provoked" was too long. Ask my kids about that one. lol I actually have a license plate frame that says that.

P.S. I'm not angry, just a little testy.

I'm a snake.

 

[Fullback32]

Fullback32 is honor of my favorite football player of all time - Walt Garrison, Fullback, #32, Dallas Cowboys. When I was a kid, I wanted to be just like him. Ironically, I ended up playing guard and wore #76.

 

[NewLou]

NewLou is first part of my last name, and my first name. Plus, I like to think I'm gonna be a new Lou once I quit smoking!

 

[msroulette]

When I first began my internet journey in the mid-90's, a friend and I were trying to decide what name fit me. I needed something unique. He thought my job was extremely cool, and I should incorporate it in my name some way.

I was a casino dealer. Mostly I dealt BlackJack, and I made a comment that I couldn't use any variation of the letters B&J. My favorite game to deal was roulette. He thought adding the "ms" to the front of roulette made it sound sexy...and here I am, all these years later, using the same name.

Over the years, people have shortened it to msr, or just plain Rou. I even answer to "rou" in real life. Many places I would need to register, rou is too short a name, so it remains msroulette

 

[Elendil]

Obviously a big Tolkien Fan.

I also use this on the Poker circuit too..........

 

[Poeia]

About 10 years ago, when I first needed an internet name, I asked my Mitred Conure if I could use hers. She didn't object so I'm still using it.

 

[J-ShaZzle]

Same username I have on other forums. Also a nickname I have that everyone calls me. J-Shazzle, J-Shazz, Shazzle, Shazz...It's funny b/c now my friends call my dad, poppa shazz. It's a play on my real name.

[DonDaBoomVape]

See also this thread I started back in October.

As for my screen name: My first name is Don; I am the oldest of the Baby Boomers; and I love to vape. So: Don, the boomer who vapes ... shortened to Don the Boom vape ... then 'the' changed to 'da' to have it all roll trippingly off the tongue. And, in my signature, I add: "...bum, bum!" to fulfill the beat of: shave and a haircut...two bits.

My avatar is a stock photo I found in a search of such images for the words: 'debonair' and 'cigarette.' I'm not really debonair (other than in fantasy), but I like the style of those who are (think David Niven). That long cigarette holder conveys my primary PV: a penstyle. Come to think of it, one of the things I like about the penstyle is that it is...debonair. My wife and I refer that that e-cig as "Ellie" (for elegant).*

* That's what I wrote back in October. Since then, CigEasy as come out with an eGO-like battery for the Kr8 and 901, called the Elegant. [I use it (with adapters as needed) with all my atomizers.]
