What does your user name mean?

[arubahounds]

I see a lot of mysterious user names on this forum. Any interesting stories behind them?


Mine's boring: an anagram of two car brands.

[homer15]

homer - the simpsons character everyone knows and loves
15 - the age i was when i first signed up for e-mail... i was looking for something with homer, and homer was already taken, so i figured just attach the age at the end of it and *bam* homer15 was created.

[Colonel Sanders]

Colonel Sanders - The KFC mascot. I was playing TFC one day and got tired of the default "player' so I decided to change to a "war-hero" name.

[padawan]

When I first came here, I was but a learner. Now I am the Master...the circle is complete.

Seriously, though. I picked Padawan because I joined right after Episode I came out, and I am a huge Star Wars fan.

[i3OSS]

Well, besides computers. I enjoy guitar, and Boss is a company for Guitar pedals. so i picked the name since i own some of their pedals and seem to like them because of their quality i had my name i3oss cuz i think it looks better and i dont sound conceited than with "Boss"

[fragmyster]

frag- love to kill you little punks.
myster- well thats not hard to get.

[avx]

I got tired of seeing "lilthis" or "Pimpthat"...I wanted a name that was completly unique, so one day I just sat in front of the PC for like an hour and tried all kinds of different names...Trying to think of cool names at first, then just random letters. then avx was born:D sadly...everyone is a copy cat, so my name started getting used from time to time. January 4 1987 ismy gf's borthday, and since I too am born in january, I never forget that, so I get 487:D

[RenegadeKing]

At the end of 5th grade my friend and I started a club and he called it the renegades. A few days later I made my first email account on yahoo. I chose RenegadeKing, and I've been using it on everything ever since.

[Force Flow]

The "Force Flow" part of my screen name comes from the screen name of a character in a Star Wars book, whom I feel I share some similar physical and personality traits. I just tacked on the "2002" when I signed up for an email account during Y2K.

My Computer Slayer title comes from my boss at work. (More like a friend than a boss, actually). Anyway, I'm always pushing what I can do with technology. I sometimes push over the limit and break something, but I always fix it in one way or another. ;)

[krokadil]

There is a great Russian poem called TELEFON about animals talking to each other on the telephone and asking each other for things.

KROKADIL is, of course, crocodile and the star of the second stanza. And the letters can be easily transliterated.

not important

[Clover]

Clover - my last name -

[Eaglefeather]

Eaglefeather is my true North American Aboriginal name. The story behind how I was honoured with the name is very long so I will not relate it here.

Suffice to say I was presented with an Eagle Feather by a Bald Eagle, a very rare honour. An elder gave me the name Eaglefeather shortly after that event.

[calmius]

Calmius is a river in city of Donetsk in Eastern Ukraine where I am from originally.

[calmius]

haha, "Let the force flow through you"

[qwert_666]

qwert, cause its the fastest thing in the world to type, if you cant get it then I laugh at you, ant the 666 cause qwert was taken and I wanted to be ageless so instead of the age I used 666, also occasionally for gaming I use yevrah which is my first name backwards (its a DnD thing) so there you have it

[moparacer]

I race chrysler/dodge/plymouth racecars aka "mopars".....

[Dangermouse1]

Dangermouse was a cartoon character in the UK and the 1 is because I wanted my e-mail and user name to be the same when I signed up here and someone allready had dangermouse as an e-mail address.

[TechSupport420]

I'm not very good at picking nicks or screen names mine is techsupport because that is what my occupation is and the 420 is on there because obviously techsupport was taken and if you know the real reason and meaning of 420 then more power to you and also enjoy 4/20 on sunday. Rock on

[Iman74]

Iman74 because a friend/employee of my wife calls me that and I liked it so much I use it as my handle for everything. The 74 because seems like I'm not the only Iman out there so I end using the year I was born 74.

[Blakhart]

My hart is Blak. Well, ok it's stainless, actualy.



Vsyo na bumage, droog moi. (for our esteemed Russian brethren)

420 is a common sign used by an organisation of dope smokers, by the way. Like a gang member throwin he set, yo. Cuz...

[Parangles]

From the Oxford University Dictionary of Jamaican English:
" Parangles: Complicated or involved matters, a thing with many
implications or elements, probably from a combination of paraphanalia and bangles."
Hey ! sounded like a good idea for a computer forum nickname at the time.
Cheers,
Chris.

[Hazydeth]

I first made this name for starcraft. Hazy because I was smoking at the time, deth because I can't spell.

[Wrnchhead76]

Mine is because i am an automobile repair tech, so wrnchhead and i was born in 1976.

[Panama Red]

The name has many meanings, but for me it's mostly nostalgic. I'm a Vietnam Vet and back then (68-70) there were several "brands" of pot, Acapulco Gold, Cambodian Red, Black Meshmecan, and of course, Panama Red. A musical group called The New Riders of the Purple Sage had a mediocre hit with Panama Red back about 71. (kind of a Grateful Dead type group) Then from 1974 thru 1978 I drag raced a red 1969 Z28 Camaro in NHRA stock class. Did pretty good too. Won class at the Indy Nationals in 76, pic's in several magazines, ran first Bracketnationals at Rockford, Il in 75, won the Fall bracketnationals at Central Mich dragway in 76, and twice semifinalist at US131 Popular Hot Rodding Magazine Championships. That car was lettered with 24 karat gold leaf and called "Panama Red". My partner's wife came up with the idea. In 79 I had Panama Red, too; a 1970 Nova with the Camaro driveline installed. I had owned the car since new when I got home from Nam. Won the US131 points championship that year and got more magazine pics. Parked it for a couple years cuz my first child (son) was born in 1980. Then brought it back out in 82 as a Super Street NHRA car. Ran 10.64 et at 125 mph with a 355" small block, 4 speed, 4bbl on 10.5" slicks. Got pics in the puter if you care to see. This year I'm planning a return to drag racing just for fun with our red PT Cruiser Limited Edition. Wanna guess what the magnetic lettering will say? You got it! Panama Red Rides Again!

[BUGNUT]

BUGNUT. I'm a nut about VW bugs. I bought my first one 25 years ago and still have it today! It was the first car I bought. I've also had seven others.

[tigstah]

big fan of tigger (t i double gerr err) from winnie the pooh.....just modified it a lil

[Redo40]

Came up with mine for a couple of reason's: I got hurt on the job in 94 and ended up with blood clots that kept me in and out of the hospital for the next 2 years, hence I had to start life over, find a less physical job...etc.

Second reason: The doctors occasionally change my medicine and it sometimes plays tricks on my thinking, so I had a bad week once that it seemed like I had to redo everything I did that week. The 40 stands for my age this coming birthday.

[Markoman01027]

Markoman is the nickname my gym teacher called me, and 01027 is the area code that I live in.

[scorch]

I got mine beacuse I love dragons, anything from Dungeons and Dragons style beasts to traditional oriental-style dragons, and when I got my first computer my girlfriend got me a little stuffed beanie-baby dragon that I keep on top of monitor all the time now. The name on his tag? Scorch.

I would also like to request some of those pics PanamaRed :)
