What's in the name?

Mine is a spinoff of the name Lazarus. He was that guy that was raised from the dead, and given another chance at life. I used to be quite a different person. I've done a complete 180, and feel like my past is dead, and my future is alive.

Probably not what anyone expected.

Ahhhh.....chose IanD cause it's my name
Wanted Belmondo but some guy out in the desert beat me to it.

Real Name Scott Miller. My best friend in 4th grade started calling me Mills. At one point in college, it got to the point that I did even "hear" Scott. Now as I age, Scott is making a comeback, except with my closest friends.

Ok mine is a little complicated so bear with me. When I was born I was named Jeff. I grew up in Indianapolis, a town which is known as Indy. I have a some friends who go by IndyGlenn and IndyLP so, IndyJeff was a natural selection. You still reading this? Geez, it wasn't that complicated afterall.

I do believe I have gone into this before...
This one "Canuck" is a kind weird joke. I had been searching for the famous Err 99 problem and stumbled on this forum. Next come up with a name that is kinda like me but not entirely. I am from near Canada, but not Canadian. That said, whilst living in the NE US, I was always up on Canadian news and stuff. There was a show that was great to watch, Royal Canadian Air Farce. You had to be up on what is going on to get the punchline. That and the fact I have an amateur radio licence and was always talking to Canadians on 2 metres. What is even more amusing is that a lot of the British think I am Canadian, so that is another piece that made me choose Canuck. So, for those of you that don't know Canuck is slang for a Canadian. So now we jump ahead a long time and nearly 900 posts and over a year later.

I got into computers and local BBS systems about 20 years ago, long before I heard of the Internet. I always used the name "Tom Sawyer" online because I'm a big Mark Twain fan. When I finally did find my way to the Internet, I kept finding that name already taken everywhere I went, so I decided on a more obscure Mark Twain character, Tom Canty, the poor kid in "The Prince and the Pauper". So far I haven't seen the "Name already in use" error when registering on a new web site anywhere while using this one...

Real Name Robert

Nick Name is "Skip" but that was taken but Skipper thats another thing.

My mother had a girlfriend that was married to a Skipper of a Ship, and she was there the day I was born.

You got it, she picked me up and said " Your the cutest little Skipper I have ever seen". Darn did that ever take.

It was Robert for a few years in school (home was always Skipper) till a teacher found out I had a nick name from that point on it was Skipper.

Three of my 4 daughters race(d) karts. And as I have no life other than my children, that's me.

Sketcher

While at sea on a rope yarn sunday afternoon (USS Missouri BB-63) I complimented a friend on a charcoal sketch he was drawing of the sun setting upon the waves. I told him that I wished that I could sketch like him. He told me that he wished he could write like me and that we're both sketcher's, just using different tools.

So that's me. Sketcher

I thought long and hard. Something easy to remember. Something that involves little typing. Something that will brand myself as a member of this community, sharing in the community mind. Something no other loser/poser would ever try to copy.

Then it hit me.

Hence this glorious result.

cmM = Cristian M. Muntean (Chris M.)<---- which is my real name

Why is the last "M" capitalized ?
-Because it looks cool

timmyquest is like johnnyquest, which was a show i never watched but it was original and no one has used it before m, and my name is tim.

My real name is Oliver Clotheshoph, and I needed something more suitable.

just my name.

...

hey tom, "belmondo" is apparently a french actor --- Jean Paul Belmondo.

The "trademarks" for Belmondo are as follows -

Has an inimitable smile.
Always performs all the stunts himself.
Usually combines action with comic episodes
Chosen by Empire magazine as one of the 100 Sexiest Stars in film history (#52).
Divorced in 1965, he later had long relationships with actresses Ursula Andress and Laura Antonelli.

The similarities are uncanny
