What does your AT handle mean?

[libertine]

<< I might as well post in here though someone better post after me...I have a habit of killing threads...

First three letters of "sully" come from my real first name which I haven't used in ages. Then in high school one of the girls I knew started calling me "sully wully" and it caught on from there. When I came here it was taken (argh!) so I put a freakin 0 in front and that was that. >>



You forgot to tell them your entire and proper name: sullywullysnookerdoodle.

 

[mpitts]

Mine came from the fact that my first name starts with an "m" and my last name is "Pitts"..

[Carrot44]

My IRC Handle: Carrot^ Another person was a bunny and me and him used to go pouncing off together and raiding the @Ops Garden!
So when that got old we fought together and I picked Carrot and he was Kiernan the Bunny Nuffff Said

Any way way back when I started Anandtech forums I needed a handle so picked Carrot and my age at the time So Carrot39 was born. But that was many many many years ago I would now be Carrot4......... oh my! :Q

 

[Egrimm]

Egrimm is, for those of you who don't know it, the name of an evil sorcerer in Warhammer. When I needed a name for a rpg character a long time ago is choose to call myself that because I couldn't think of a cool name, I "stole" the name since it's begin with the same letter as my real name (Erik). Since then I just used that name whenever I needed another name.

 

[Nefrodite]

i really don't know

 

[Skyclad1uhm1]

Skyclad -> Name of a band, literally meaning naked (clothed by the sky).
1uhm1 -> When a few people from a Dutch forum got bored and decided to invade this place, they agreed on putting that behind their name to distinguish themselves. Never bothered changing my nick after that.

 

[optimistic]

I wanted to be funny, and have a name that contradicts my character.
Works in many levels.

 

[WillyF1uhm1]

Willy: short for my first name
F : first letter of my third name (not family name)
1uhm1: look at explanation of Skyclad1uhm1 above

[r0tt3n1]

Started using the moniker r0tt3n1 WAY back playing Quake1.... Actually, I was using the nickname Sh1THeaD, which obviously is kinda lame, then joined in a clan, [n0d] , and needed a `killer` name, so r0tt3n1 sprung up in my little bwain and voila............

 

[JetsFanatic]

I am a New York Jets Fan

 

[AncientPC]

I think most people should be able to tell . . .

 

[Tetsuo316]

tetsuo is a character from the anime and manga AKIRA. he basically goes ape sh!t and kills a lot of people while growing more and more insane and unstable. although i could say that i'm just a witty guy and decided to pair up tetsuo with all of the john 3:16 (or as the wrastlers would know austin316) business, i'd be lying. my birthday is march 16th. i used to always go by tetsuo as a login but then a lot of places started requiring alpha-numeric crap so...

 

[busmaster11]

My ATT@home guy thought it was BUSTMASTER... how gay...

 

[flyfish]

flyfish intr.v. To angle using artificial flies for bait.

 

[Renob]

Just spell Renob backwards, I got it from an old girlfriend.

 

[VTBigBear]

lol Renob,


I used to use BigBear all over the place.. my license plates had BIGBEAR too.. my friends used to say that i was like a bear hopefully meaning that i was cuddly and cute.. but probably meant that i was slow and stupid(which doesnt really apply to bears.. but my friends are Korean so, and in Korea they say that you are like a bear if you do stupid things.. or something like that)

anyways I used to use that alot.. then i went out of the states for about 3 years and came back.. found out someone else was using bigbear on their license plate.. so i couldnt use it anymore..
and most of the places online already had BigBear used...

so VTBigBear = Virginia Tech. + BigBear

works for me...
and the reason i choose a cow as my author icon... is... if you ever come to VT you'll know... all them cows.. cow tipping.. dang... somedays when the wind blows the wrong way you can smell their @#$%..... ewwwwwwwwwwww

 

[PrinceofWands]

The Prince of Wands is a tarot card. When I was 16 I had a reading and the card figured prominently in the reading. I actually went by the pseudonym Phoenix in after that (Phoenix Lancelot Majere to be exact), from a particular aspect of the card which accurately described my personality and beliefs. However, phoenix has become one of the most overused names on the internet, so I changed back to the card name itself since that doesn't ever get used.
