I was looking at some submissions for the GUI's when I thought to myself, "What made them think of that screen name?"From that thought and many like it, I decided to start this thread to enlighten others who might be asking themselves the same question.
So, if you could please share with the community how you chose your screen name, it would be greatly appreciated!
I'll start, My husband's name is Brian so, inevitably I am Brysgirl!(I'm sure the science behind that was mind-boggling)
Well mine is a 3 parter. Air= Air Force Was in the USAF for 8 Years
Wolf= My favorite animal cause I was stationed out West in Wyoming and was always around them and would hear them at night sometimes.
Airwolf= My favorite TV Show about the Helicopter that could do it all. and Jan Micheal Vincent was hot....lol
And also into genealogy for anyone else that wants to know....lol
Mine is just what I am, Within the 5 boroughs of New York City, The N.Y.C. Department of Sanitation has 59 District Garages,
3 in Staten Island (SI), 14 in Queens (Q), 12 in The Bronx (Bx), 12 in Manhattan (M), and 18 in Brooklyn (Bk). I am a Sanitation Worker (Garbage Man) at the Brooklyn 13 Garage. Therefore, I am a bk13garbageman!!!
I'm afraid to ask.....A Doctor of ....?
Back in the day the warehouse manager at the sporting goods store I worked at lost a shipment of Zubaz brand pants. So he's yelling "ZUBAZ!!" and I happen to walk into the warehouse and say "what's up?" or some such thing. Thus I was tagged in meatspace. Compuserve was just allowing members to switch to names from numbers so there I was. Zubaz. That was back in '91 or '92.
For a short while I was a member of a A-Wing squadron on CS and went by Lurker1. I dug that nick a lot but people would always end up calling be some variant of Zubaz.
...Once again the story is told. I am glad to see you took the name back, Fuzzy. Now you just need to photoshop some vulcan ears on that dino.
Mine is from all the years that I've worked in the automotive industry. I work for a rental car company and trade cars every few days so the neighbors little girl started calling me "that Car Guy'.
When setting up my first email account on my home oomputer a long time ago, I used a mix of my name (Karen) and my son's name (Matthew) and wound up with karmat. It doesn't hurt that it has karma in it!
Wizard was my CB handle for decades.No longer into radio,I decided to use it for my nick.The 1956 is the year I was hatched.
i pray all is well with you.
My nickname is Rusty and for some reason my father always called me Sam. Hence...rustysam
When I first started online gaming, back in the days of the original Unreal Tournament, I was so embarassingly bad I would change my gaming nick every few days just to distance myself from the immense noobosity I had been displaying. I ended up calling myself EasyTiger as a tongue-in-cheek reminder to myself to relax and enjoy the game. I stuck with the nick, it got shortened to Tiggz by my gaming friends, I started skinning...
Wow, I grew up knowing a Karen Lowe.....not from Bristol, TN. are ya? Brothers named Terry and Jaime?
I use the same nick for almost everything. I am really into my "Puter" and the name seemed to fit.
I just thought.. whats the dumbest thing i could use.
Please don't be mad....I was thinking of a car floormat.
Mines real simple...I entered the World Wide "Web" on a webtv years ago and started building a website with it using all these "Gizmos." Needed a name for the site and it seemed pretty logical. WebGizmos was born.
Hello Mr. Styler
Absolutely hilarious! Something my brother would have done!
Mine came to me because I love the Weather. When I was a teen everyone would ask me what the weather would be. I guess I was better at predicting the weather than the weatherman.
Bound came in because I am Bound to the weather. Does not matter where i am. I will always be watching and trying to predict the weather.
Eliminator: as a gamer, what I would do to the enemy.
HG: The clan tag of my gaming unit, *Honor Guard*
PhenomTT: Original nick given to me by an old Friend* seldom used any more but I still keep it active*
You could have at least lied to us and said it was something cool like Visual Styler!
i picked my name because iam a man of many different and discarded names..iam always in search of new innovative nicknames..and i happen to settle with this one..its a simple, yet unique name that suits me well. AKA is also known as lol
Bah and Humbug. Ain't nobodies business how I got my nickname. So.....raspberries to all......and good night.
He was named Old Crab because 'Grumpy Old Fart' was banned
mine is the original name that WarnerBros came up for with Kim Novak but it has a slight twist..they wanted to call her "kit marlow".....so i tweaked it to kitty malone, as im a huge novak fan..and i thought the name was pretty neat. but nowdays id rather be crazyhorse.
Mine is from way back in the bad ol' corporate days. When the company first computerized it's subsidiaries that's what I got stuck with for corp email. Had it for so many years I just decided to port it over for personal use (since it's long since been embedded in my memory) and ended up with it here.
Not very creative I guess, but at my age you shouldn't expect too much - old dogs and all that...
