I just wanted a user name I could remember when I logged on the forum. Obvious of course! But I also used it as a mantra. Evidently it worked! My avatar is the 2nd one I've had.It is in honor of my 18 year old cat who was born IN a tree to a feral cat. I trapped the mother and kittens . A friend with a farm adopted them.I kept one that looked liked Sylvester, but she was a he and became Sylvia..She was a bit uppity when she grew up.A few months ago she up and disappeared one day. My first avatar was a picture of my dog. I might switch them around again soon. I hate to get stuck in a rut!

I'm a big guy and my first name is Dennis. It's my nickname. People who have never heard me called Big D always start calling me that eventually. The 432 just always gets added whenever BigD is taken. Years ago a friend of mine tried creating an account with WebTv (wow how old am I) and his username was taken and one of the suggestions had 432 at the end of that. So now there are several of us who add 432 and the end of our usernames when the original one is taken.

My late wife and I owned a timber wolf as pet. Her name was Liza because the black coloring around her eyes looked like Liza Minnelli.

Well wolves are pack animals with a definite hierarchy within the pack. My late wife was the pack leader. Liza and I had to battle for second place. There were times when I felt like wolf meat. Hence the name.

We never hurt each other put she would certainly put on a loud and raucous show.

mine is merely an alias I dveloped back in my first year of online gaming (around 2008-ish)

my inital name was Luc McCloud, an anthromorphic fox of sorts. Luc was my french name in class, and mccloud kinda just stuck on as a running joke. but when I needed a more... appealing? name, I chose Miles Cadre.

Ironically, if you break down the meaning of Miles Cadre, Miles can either be latin (Mill-Ehz) for Soldier, or Old German (My-Elz) meaning Merciful. and Cadre I believe would be the center of an revolutionary or elitist group. So, Miles Cadre could be either the Leader of, or the Elite, Merciful Soldier ^^ if that makes any sense =P Another coincedence, as I wanted a name with Miles in it, was playing Metroid prime 2 and was like Miles Cadre, and it always stuck afterwards

Mine is fairly uninteresting. Years and years ago I was a member of a no longer existent forum and my member name was jball which was a variation on a son's username. Then when I went to sign up someplace else 5 years ago I was 49 and someone had jball as their username so I went with jball49. Fairly simple and as I said, uninteresting.
