The meaning of our names...

[Carlson]

Its my last name...

[steved110]

My first name is Steve, and D110 is the number of my skydiver's license from Zimbabwe where I learned to fly in free fall. A 'D' license is the most advanced one you can get, at that time you needed 200 free fall skydives and to have completed special tasks/ skill levels to be awarded the license.

It's much harder to get a D license now, but it's something I'm very proud of. I still skydive in the UK but at a much less intense level.

In the attached picture I'm bottom left, taken at Headcorn in Kent about 2 years ago.

[TenaCJed]

I really like "The Grateful Dead" and I was going through some of their songs. A friend of mine already used Cosmic Charlic (his nick was CosmicC). Another of their songs I like is "Tennessee Jed". Seeing how I was about 19 when I first started to use it I decided I had to change it a little like everyone else (always following what everyone else does). So I came up with TenaCJed for short :D

Every once in a while I will actually get someone that asks me if I like the dead before they ask me if I live in Tennessee, but not too much.

[Gr8outdrsmn]

Mine is pretty simple, but for some reason some people have a hard time figuring out the meaning. Gr8outdrsmn = Great Out Doorsman

[ruairidh]

RUAIRIDH: Scottish variant of Irish Ruaidhri, meaning "red king.":)

[AGENT 99]

United States clandestine field agent. More Jason Bourne than James Bond. Thats about all I'm allowed to say.

[Rezarf]

My real name spelt backwords.

REZARF

[pwen watkin]

Mine is a typo, it should be Owen , which is my name!

[BradT0517]

Mine is a typo, it should be Owen , which is my name!

I would be so mad.

Any how mine is my First Name Initial of last name and i was born on may 17

[sunbeast]

Combination of two names.....best friend was nicknamed Sun Bear because.....well.....he looks like a Sun Bear. I was nicknamed "Beast" because of some unfortunate antics while in college. :o We were so closely linked I was deemed Sun Beast, simplified to Sunbeast.

[nburwell]

Mine is also simple, N=Nick, my given name. Burwell=My last name.

[fi20100]

Location, location, location :) Yes, Fi20100, it's where I am :) and I've used it as an online nick for ~7 years :)

And this is my 666th post... :D

[asolie]

United States clandestine field agent. More Jason Bourne than James Bond. Thats about all I'm allowed to say.

And I was thinking it was the name of an agent of the old TV show "Get Smart"!

[Banditloon]

Bandit - because I have owned a Suzuki GSF600n Bandit for the past 8 years.

Loon - because I drive/ride my bike / car / van like a loon. Generally act like one as well, oh and not forgetting my "god", dear old Road Runner. Looney Tunes cartoons are just the best, well Tom & Jerry are good too... Don't make me choose.... :lol: :lol:

As for my company name, that's a different matter, and one that is not suitable for children :lol:

[michael_]

mine is based on my car, my number plate is CIDER which refers to the cars paintowrk which in a specific light looks like apple CIDER ;) had it since 1998

[Phil Light]

I gave mine about 3 seconds of thought. I assumed I'd have to try multiple times because every conceivable name would be taken... but then the first attempt worked. So now my question; can we change user names? Or are we stuck with them for life?

[PhotosGuy]

can we change user names? PM IanD, CyberDyneSystems, or belmondo with a good reason.

[Phil Light]

PM IanD, CyberDyneSystems, or belmondo with a good reason.

Is "Mine Sucks!" a good reason? :-D

[Seefutlung]

Is "Mine Sucks!" a good reason? :-D
LOL!!! works for me.

[philbyuk]

well mine comes from my nick at work..philby..(extended from phil..dont ask me why?)and im from the uk....so philbyuk it is

[Advocate]

Mine arose oooohhhh a good 6 or 7 years ago when I was doing my nurse training. I had joined a new Quake 3 clan (yes, I was that immature) and needed a new online name. We'd just been doing advocacy at Uni so that sprung to mind straight away and has stuck ever since.

My best mate from my Quake 3 days still calls me "Ad" instead of "AL" (my real name is Alistair)....go figure :)

[BadForGood]

...well, "Alexander" was taken, so I used the title of the song that was playing while I registered. From the Jim Steinman album of the same name...

[puddlepirate44]

I was in the US Coast Guard for awhile, and the derogatory nickname for members of the USCG is, "Puddle Pirates". The number 44 was the number on my football jersey in high school... Viola!

[Woolburr]

I was in the US Coast Guard for awhile, and the derogatory nickname for members of the USCG is, "Puddle Pirates". The number 44 was the number on my football jersey in high school... Viola!

And here we just called you the "Roast Guard". Keep those home fires burning!

[puddlepirate44]

And here we just called you the "Roast Guard". Keep those home fires burning!

Also the "Shallow Water Navy", but that seemed a bit long for a Screen Name.... :)

[Box Brownie]

Hmmm!!! well my online name comes from a double 'source'.

Firstly my initials are LHB ~ length x height x breadth is the size the volume of a box and as the first camera I ever used was a Box Brownie type i.e. not a Kodak but based on that 'form'.

All that just reminds me of my age lol! ;)

[Jon, The Elder]

There were so many "jon's" it got confusing.

Besides...it fits my current stage in life.
Sure beats "Jon, The Deceased"

[Digital_Duck]

when I first got my DIGITAL camera I decided to DUCK in by the lake and try it out ...

[joegolf68]

Joe
I golf
68 is my lifetime low score.

:)

[hard12find]

Mine is from a limerick I tell the women I like,
A good man is hard to find
A hard man is good to find
I'm a hard 1-2 find

Jim ; )

[jilliantodd]

I love (love love love) shoes. Pretty simple!

[I Simonius]

Took mine after the TV Drama "I CLAVDIVS" (I Claudius)

I relate to the way the character survived through playing the fool in a murderous climate:cool: :p :p :p :p :p :p ;)

[carseasoncity]

I used to have all of my usernames after my daughter, Mercede, but then I had two more children and felt guilty not using their names, so... a daughter, Mercede (car), a daughter, Summer (season), and a son, London (city)= carseasoncity. :)

[CousinMadness]

In my teens and early twenties I was an avid motorcyclist. Avid may be diluted terminology considering I had 17 motorcycles over a period of 10 years. My younger female Cousins who were dainty and proper blonde little things, had a rebellious fascination for my motorcycles.

One day when their Mother was not around I took them for a 100 mph spin up the Highway. (Don't worry they were wearing good clothing and a full face helmet). Around that time the name Cousin Madness evolved, and after my mountain climbing and motorcycle racing career matured... the name stuck.

I worked in Gravenhurst Canada for several seasons and took on some rather risky jobs. A fellow team mate whom I befriended proved to be equally as crazy as myself. We were affectionately known by the Townsfolk as the "Dangerous Brothers". So.. individually... my nickname both here in Canada and in my native Scotland... has always been Cousin Madness due to the somewhat dangerous things I have done in my life.

Thanks for posing the question.


Cousin. :p

[<AkulA>]

Mine comes from the Russian word for shark - it was originally used for a character in an online game I used to play... yes... that officially makes me a computer nerd, LoL.

[MegaTron]

Transformers was my favorite cartoon when I was a kid. I also own quite a few Transformer toys.

Megatron, transforms into a gun, but when he is a robot, the scope of his gun looks like a canon(Cannon).

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megatron

[blonde]

mine is actually a stupid story. i joined another forum about 5 years ago and i chose the name mr. blonde from reservoir dogs. after about 2 years, i joined another forum and i decided that i am too lazy to type mr. blonde all the time so i just made it blonde.

[jilliantodd]

That explains your forum name, but is Snir norwegian? icelandic? danish?

[blonde]

Israeli :)

[jilliantodd]

Boy was I off! I knew some guys in Iceland whose names were Snir...

[NickSimcheck]

Well, my name has a series of meanings...

Nick is for the pain we endure in life, Sim is dedacated to the computer game which a lot of people spend most their life playing it, and check is for the greed of money that powers the world.

But the weird thing is that it happens to be me name. :P

[crazyea]

crazy + first and last initial. simple really.

[infinite012]

My cousin was playing counter-strike, told me to play and told me to use a spin-off of his username/handle (1nf1n1t3, at the time). Stupid, but it stuck. 012 is kind of a Korean-English mix up, which means "forever." So, infinite forever.

BTW, 012 = young one e. young = 0 in Korean, one = 1 in English, 2 = e in Korean.

[cbr929rrerion]

My name is my motorcycle I have, well, one of them..

Its a 2001 Honda CBR929RR Erion Racing Edition...

[asolie]

My first initial and last name.

[JWright]

Now been changed to my first initial and last name...

[thomascanty]

[MinisterStanley]

Reverend Ed Stanley!!

[Ospi]

Well i needed a name to use in Perfect Dark (Nintendo 64 game) and i couldnt think of anything so i grabbed a book, looked at a random word and randomly chose 4 letters from it, shuffled them to make sense and WALA. Ospi. Never come across anyone else with it so my random name generator worked a treat.

oh and anyone who spells is Opsi will get eflamed.

[steve535]

my name and the house # when i was a kid.

[mntbikejack]

My name is Jack & I like to mountain bike...ALOT.

[drandtus]

My first initial and last name +us. The "us" is some garbage I stuck on there :) Reminds me of walrus

[Boxlock]

my very first antique shotgun was a BOXLOCK action. I just thought the name was unique sounding.

[Village_Idiot]

people that think you're dumb do not expect any more out of you...

[Phil Light]

Very wise indeed.

[iddie]

mine is a nickname i used in a game and started using in other forums so this is what i use. well my name is eddie. =D so its not too far from my name

[Phil Light]

This seems like the best place to bring this up. I recently asked the mods to change my name. Since October of last year I've been using my actual name, Jeff Solenberg. In this age of identity theft, or maybe I'm just getting paranoid, I decided I'd rather use something slightly less accurate since I seem to be the only Jeff Solenberg on the planet.

I don't know why it struck me, but I was glancing through a website and I saw the term "Fill light". I felt like I was having the same epiphany George Castanza had on Sienfeld when he decided he had discovered the perfect porn star name, Buck Naked.

I'll be happy to answer to Jeff to anyone who remembers, but for the sake of not having to explain constantly, I guess from now on I'm Phil. ;)

[tomvill]

It's just my first name and part of my last name put together.. Not origional but i've just always used it werever I post.

[Boxlock]

Becareful you don't get confused with that guy who runs all those semi-nude teen modeling sites... You know, the one that goes by the handle "Phil Flash"...

[capturedbymike]

I was using Bad Pig Photo (since I am a cop) and a friend uses it for his investment company. I really wanted something that related to my job. After much complaining from the family and friends, I looked around the net and settled on the name Captured by Mike..... the bad thing, I never made the association of Captured and how it relates to my 'full time' job until someone pointed it out to me on these forums.

Captain Obvious, I know!

[Mrselfdestruct]

Mrselfdestruct is a song from my fav band Nine Inch Nails. It's the beginning song to his Downward Spiril album and some people agree it's about self-hatred and addiction. The entire album is a story of a mans life, it includes a women he once loved, drugs he was addicted to, god and religion, and they all lead up to his suicide. Trent Reznor IMO is a musical genious. I guess I choose this nickname because somethings I can relate to in his music. But then again, I've never been addicted to such drugs like Heroin, but I've had problems with other substances, and I've deffenatly had some problems with women in my life, and believe me, if you ever heard the album Pretty Hate Machine form Nine Inch Nails, you will know Trent has had his share too.

[cosworth]

So is that Mrs. Elf Destruct?

[Mrselfdestruct]

Funny, but no. Mr. Self-Destruct would be the correct spelling

[Turntablist]

i like manipulating the records on the turntables. i especially like beat juggling.

[Lostboy77]

A long time ago when I left high school for college, I decided to attend a private college in Washington (the State) that was quite literally in the middle of nowhere and in the process going where NONE of my HS friends were going. One of my closest friends was managing an email list to keep us all in touch and had given everyone nicknames (mine was Lostboy). This was also derived from a movie that we both liked (The Lostboys) that stared Keifer Sutherland (now famious for his role as "Jack Bauer" in the TV series "24") who was a Canadian actor (not so well known at the time) that reminded him of me as all of my family is from Canada.

The 77 is easy . . . it's my birth year.

(none of my answers are ever short)

[Attic]

I used to have all my radio and computers in the attic and thus was known as Attic and have been using this on the net and before the fidonet since the 80s.

[GAELICSTORM7]

:D Interesting thread this one, here's my tale of how mine came about

Once upon a time in a land far far away I used to frequent chatrooms (mostly one called 'bored silly' on virgin.net), my name was Quietstorm, Sir Quietstorm in fact :rolleyes: . I started chatting to a 'Gaelicgirl' in the same chatroom after 4 month we met, 2 month later we were living together,2 month down the line I asked her to marry me, she said yes so as with all the momentous moments in my life I had a tattoo done to mark it (cut it, indelibly) so that tattoo read Gaelicstorm (if your really interested I'll post a photo of the tat :rolleyes: ), the joining of our names (6 happy years on were still married)

Gaelicstorm was taken on here when I joined so Gaelicstorm7 was the nearest I could get.

[AirBrontosaurus]

My friends and I were talking about how cool the Air Bud movies were (the dog that plays basketball). Then, we somehow got to talking about how much cooler it would be if a Brontosaurus was playing basketball. And thus, AirBrontosaurus was born!

[Liam:]

[tsxmike]

Mine is pretty simple, I have a TSX and my name is Mike.:rolleyes:

[Extirpate]

Mine was way back in the day when I was a "Gamer." Mostly Day of Defeat and Extirpate means: To uproot and/or destroy. I think it's a gardners term but it fit for the time being and I just stuck with it. (and no I am not a gardner)

[MJEXP]

[StewartR]

When I first starting creating usernames and suchlike it never occurred to me that there could be a creative side to it, so in most places I just use my name. Bo-o-o-ring!

However I do have an alter-ego that I use sometimes: ThePHB. He's my hero and inspiration.

[jjackflash]

Mine was taken from a minor hit by some obscure band. I wonder what ever became of those boys?

[aRJun]

My name's aRJun...RJ is my short name (mostly for use after I came to the US). It's quite a tongue twister for Americans to spell Arjun all in one go! So I just go to Starbucks and when they ask my name they go like 'RJ...nice and easy'! I smile :)

[_aravena]

Birth father's name. Just always liked it. Simple as that.

[DegasGoneDigital]

Well, Dega comes fron TallaDEGA the Nascar track. It was the first track I went to.

[rockwithme192]

[Apollo11]

I'm a huge fan of the Mercury/Gemini/Apollo missions, and Apollo11 is my tribute to the first moonlanding in 1969. For years I have used this as my handle for various forums.

Also, I love the unforgettable, iconic photographic images that these missions gave us.

[canondslruser]

Self-explanatory :) Prefer to remain anonymous on the web. Once posted......always posted. You wouldn't believe the stuff I find with a search on the web.

[Reed Goodwin]

Part of my name. I would use a SN that had more to do with what I like, but that just always changes, so I'm sticking with the name. Unoriginal, I know.
Reed

[ZeroFiveOne]

My name has something to do with my job. That's about all I can say!:D

[-spam-]

Mines just been my nickname since the second day of grade 1 :)

Everyone calls me it now, bosses at work, parents and even my enemies :confused:

[Richard_Miami]

mine is because.... errrr.. ummm.. my name is Richard and I live in Miami and I have NO imagination when it comes to internet nicknames.. LOL

[pepsi]

No, it's not my favorite drink! (Plenty of beers hold that title!)

It is the company that pays for my gear! (I'm just an hourly slave, not a photographer for Pepsi.)

[S.Horton]

I screwed it up, honestly, and I wish I could change it!

I thought it was the log-in credential, not the screen name.

So, I hate my screen name.

;) :lol: :lol:

[asysin2leads]

I am a paramedic by trade. When a person's heart stops, that's called asystole. We have to use our cardiac monitor and view the heart in 2 views (aka leads). Hence, asysin2leads = asystole in 2 leads.

Just looking around late at nite and found this thread so sorry to breath new life into it....

I have 2 Australian Shepherds, which are nicknamed "Aussies" however I only had one "pup" at the time I joined. The one that is in my avitar. Not to be confused with living downunder (at least from the US).

[Rachellebee27]

Wow! Resurrection! LOL! I love it!

[krepta]

Krepta was a character in the "My Teacher Is An Alien" series of books published by Scholastics. In particular, he was an alien who helped the human side. I read these books in elementary school and "krepta" (lower-case 'k') has been my alter ego since. Strangely enough, I often find upon signing up for anything at all on the internet, that "krepta" is already taken and I have to resort to add a number or letter. Here at POTN, however, I was fortunate not to run into another one!

[buzzyrabbit]

Buzzyrabbit - as advertised in a infamous episode of "sex in the city" !

[Nyobie]

My favorite character in the movie, The Matrix is Captain Niobe. I wasn't sure how she spelled her name so I guessed and got it wrong by spelling it Nyobie which I think is a little easier to remember how to spell.

I kept the name anyway after I found out that there was a Greek Goddess named Niobe who had 14 children. The children died tragically due to their mother's arrogance, so I had come to learn about after I chose the name. I was glad to have spelled the name incorrectly when I found out about the story.

I'm not African American despite what people might think about the character I chose. I'm half Korean and half Caucasian... You'd never guess by the name!

[Miyagi-san]

I'm half Korean and half Caucasian... You'd never guess by the name!

[arrgeebee]

I joined my first BBS during the late 80's. I had an old CRT monitor with an "RGB" logo on it in front of me while signing up and was at a complete loss when asked for nickname on the online form. I've used RGB or some form of it ever since...

[Lazagna]

I went to play laser tag with the girls one day a few years back, and couldn't think of a name so I picked my favorite food, and it has stuck as a name I use for forums such as this.

I'm on VWVortex (a Volkswagen enthusiast forum) and my original username was a bit noob sounding so...I've always loved John Candy and my favorite movie is Uncle Buck. I just chose Buck Russell. I've been using it for about 3 years on VWVortex.

[Scuff]

Scuff is a nickname at work - that's me on a bike in my avatar. It comes from me 'getting my knee down' before it became popular. The picture was in a full spread in Fast Bikes magazine when I took out the Emmett brothers for an evaluation ride.

The 'guvnors' weren't too happy about me wearing a hole in the job leathers :):cool:

[slimninj4]

Slimninj4 because I was skinny. ninjas are cool so i combined to make an awesome screen name. I used the 4 because orginally when I used it...slimninja was taken!!!

[sin4jon]

It was my very first screen name on A-O-H*LL back in 1994. I pretty much have it everywhere. Except work and that online garage sale/auction place. It's my first tattoo. "Sin" is a song from Nine Inch Nails. I always liked the song and when I saw the artwork on the vinyl single I knew it was going to be my first tattoo. It was done by Bob Garrity. He is the nephew of an old boss of mine from a bank. He did it in his parents' basement. So there is that part.

4 has two meanings. The single is also titled as Halo 4. Each album or single is Halo followed by a number. Also means for.

Jon is my name and enjoying life is my game! That sounded so much better in my head!

[vincewchan]

first name - middle initial - last name :D

[SacMac]

I have a very long surname, so it's a contraction of my initials and the last name. Boring, but true!!! Also because no-one can actually remember how to spell my last name I use this as my professional tag.

[shannyD]

my mom and dad, and family, and best friends, and husband all call me shanny. and D is the beginning of my last name. so uhh i guess thats it.

My last name is Haverdink & I'm a home improvement contractor.

[Poaceae]

When I came on this thread I didn't intend to linger. But it is really addictive to read the meaning of the names.

Poaceae is the botanic name for the grass family. I have been involved in a grass identification project for the last 2 years and since the name never gets rejected because someone else has picked it . . . . .
