How or why did you choose your user name?

[Bramistuta25]

Hi Guys,

I was wondering how people got to their user-name/screen-name?

Be nice to know the thinking behind them?!

Mine is from years ago when I played football, many moons ago... My mate used to call me Bramistuta as he thought I played like Gabriel Batistuta so combined the two names.

Similarly he called himself "Roneildo" after the original and one time great Brazilian Ronaldo... Since then they have both got slow and put on weight, but can still score!!

There's mine. Answers on a post card!

Nothing exciting about mine, it was an old username from uni. Rhu for my name. 4 because I was the 4th in the system with rhu. No idea where the cc bit comes from. Possibly computing campus but unlikely.

 

[tundra9]

I live on the tundra, and 9 just because.

Don't remember where i got mine from. :?

 

[CRAZYHAZY]

Ive been called crazy hazy since i was approximately 18 yrs old.
simply because i was a complete nut job? not in the violent sense. i was just never scared of any one or anything! always up for a challange and a bit of a clown. Glad to say i've calmed down a huge amount and grown up a lot, i just collect toys now!
all my mates call me crazy to this day. by the way my surname is Hayes!

 

[sith-smith]

Surname is Smith

Sith is a star wars word and it rhymes with it

so, sith-smith


All very logical

Made mine up to annoy people and it has stuck.

 

[Dublinjeff]

My name is Jeff and i'm from Dublin.............it took ages

 

[silver grin]

Mine's from my adolescence... growing up, when I first started using the internet and forums I wanted a name that would stick and I was into the band Bush in a big way (that's the music band Weasel :lol: ). They did a great song called "mouth" and there's a line in the song that goes something like "your silver grin/ still sticking it in" No idea why that stuck so much... I'd have to go back 14 years to find out!

 

[Vin3po]

My name is Vinny so vin3po as I collect the gay gold droid :lol: simples before that my name was vinvader as it went well together.

Thanks

Vin

Just as the internet was coming out and available to all there was a highly anticipated movie call The Phantom Menace with a villian called Darth Maul. This is going to be the best thing ever.

Never changed it

 

[PGowdy]

I genuinely never put 2 and 2 together and thought that you user-name had anything to do with Darth Maul.
I guess i just didn't give enough of a ****. :lol:

 

[Bramistuta25]

Keep em coming!!

 

[Lee77]

I wish I had a story behind mine but the name Lee was already taken so the 77 is my birth year. Simples!

[Dark Sith Lord]

Mine is just random. Its the First thing that popped into my head upon when signing on and it has stuck eer since

 

[JuniorChubb]

My Dads nickname is Chubby, therefore I became Junior Chubb...

 

[weasel]

Ehh Weasel was my nickname at uni.
Still doesn't sound right to hear my first name said by anyone with an English accent.


Iain, Mick McCarthey!?

I'm so so sorry but Ipswich are beyond ****ed now! He's one of the WORST managers ever to grace a football pitch. He's up there with Bryan Robson, Gazza, Maradona and Ian Dowie.
It's ok though, the Conference is a great league.

 

[edd_jedi]

I used to DJ a lot and used the name Jedi. And my name is Edd

 

[jambobbyb]

Mine is my full name just shortened!
