Can you explain your Username?.. **Official**

[BSEagle1]

BS is the abreviation for my gaming clan, the Black Sheep, formally referred to as the Black Sheep Squadron. The clan is named after the world war 2 fighter squadron formed by Major "Pappy" Boyington of the United States Army Air Force.
Eagle1 was the call sign of (I think) the president in Independence Day, which was released around the time I started gaming. I liked the sound of "Eagle one, fox two!" so I stole the name, hehe.

Wow, that's almost like my story:

Back in 5th grade, my Dad put a bunch of parental restrictions on my screen name so I thought that I would be sly and create a new screen name: NewScreenName so he would think that it would be an option for a new screen name and not a real screen name so he wouldn't put parental restrictions on it.

Well.. AOL had the limiting characters to 9 characters, so instead of NewScreenName it turned into NewSc and some odd random number like 2985 (NewSc2985). Didn't look right, so I deleted the last numbers and got NewSc2.

 

[Mookow]

Why would your Dad put any restrictions on your username? I thought he'd disallow access to certain sites instead

[Maleficus]

Maleficus - Muh Lef Ick Us

Wicked in latin

I was just looking for something original and not too crazy. I really like this name.

 

[Smolek]

last name

 

[TheCorm]

College nickname....surname is Cormack and everyone called me Corm or The Corm....

 

[JoPh]

joseph - se = joph

 

[DocBartend]

I bartended for many years and i could make any drink. Even when i had no idea what was in it, which usually meant a sweet, girly drink i'd just pour the color. They called me the doctor, hence...

 

[Psycho18]

perhaps I shouldnt explain my nickname.

 

[crisp82]

crisp82.....a combo of my first name, intial of my surname and the year I was born

 

[HarryAngel]

Someone already figured out my username in another thread

My friends call me Harry and since im a Mickey Rourke fan they gave me the nickname Harry Angel, it's from the movie Angel Heart (Mickey Rourke, Robert de Niro, Lisa Bonet)

 

[nativesunshine]

Nativesunshine: my friend and I were talking one day and he started calling me "native girl"(no clue what that means)....and everytime he imed me...he'd write "morning sunshine". We then made up nativesunshine...and for him I made up bluemoonlight. Yeah...corny, but it works.


Juleebabee (my old name): I came up with it while registering for a game site (uproar i think?), last year. Thought that it'd already be taken...b/c it's so catchy..but no one had it...so it kinda just stuck as my official "nick". My bf morphed it into "babeepie" sometime last year...and that's stuck ever since too.

 

[Looney]

Moralpanic... learned the term Moral Panic from the sociology class Collective Behavior. I found it so fascinating that such a term was coined, and so appropriate, that i started to recognize it everywhere... especially from the message boards that i was frequenting. So i started to use it as my handle. Unfortunately, some other bastard out there is using it as well now.

 

[snooker]

I like to go snook fishing alot, thus snooker

 

[dullard]

I usually won't reply to a 100+ post thread since I feel no one reads them anymore. But I always like to explain my name.

Years ago, I came up with the name. It is in direct response to so many egotistical people online that have nothing to base their ego on. For example, someone would call himself "The Hulk" so something similar when he was really the most cowardly person I ever met. My brother fell into that category, naming himself ?The Great One?. Someone would call himself "Einstein" yet ended up being one of the dumbest people I've ever chatted with. People named "Beautiful Girl" were usually 500 pound balding men. I could go on, but I think you see my point. People tried to use grandiose nicknames to cover up their lackluster life/personality.

So my name is an attempt to be the exact opposite of what I so commonly saw online. I use a humbling alias and let my posts speak for themselves.

Occasionally people point out the irony in my name, and that is always a good compliment. I?d sure hate to be called ?Einstein? and have people point out the irony in that?

 

[SaltBoy]

My name is short for Razor Saltboy, which is the actual, real name for the Public Relations Director for the Navajo Indian Nation. I met him about 6 years ago while he was doing some voice-over work for an educational software package I was helping to produce.

I liked the name so much, I took it for my username. When I got to ATOT, I shortened it to SaltBoy.

 

[PunDogg]

Pun---. as in PUNeet which is my name, and Dogg, my friends called me that Highschool don't know y, but they just did, i think cuz i drooled alot hehe just kidding, but it stuck and PunDogg was born


Dogg

 

[conjur]

A name I thought up when I went in business for myself. I hate really long domain names and doing various word plays on my first/last name + consulting and came up with conjure. But, conjure.com was already taken by some Wicca website. Besides, conjur looks cooler.

Unfortuantely I doubt most folks read it that way. That assumes I'm most folks. Male Ficus is how I see it. Ficus trees/shrubs are a be-yotch to maintain.


My nick is just first letter of my last name followed by man. That was my nick in middleschool on. (The whole last name+man). I like to have some anominity when I post so it's been shortened.

Sometimes I use 6666 afterwards, just cuz it's easy to remember and nonone ever uses it. Other numbers like 111, 007, etc are too popular. Could use my birthday but too indentifying. So, I go with the not-quite-so-evil-but-people-think-it-is-anyway 4 sixes.

 

[MoobyTheGoldenCalf]

I luv Kevin Smith movies....
