why your username?

[zombieSquirrel]

This question came to me after reading recent comments in the "New Member Posts" thread. Why did you pick your user name?

[Leader Bee]

I play a lot of online games and I generally tend to need to select a unique name. I thought this one sounded quite cool and is ALWAYS available.

 

Now I use this name everywhere for consistency reasons.

[Moontanman]

My name is an old nickname I got from being caught laying out in the full moon on the beach naked in the winter time by some friends. (Yes alcohol was involved) They asked me what I was doing and I answered getting a moon tan, Moontanman seemed to stick.

[Mr Skeptic]

I chose mine because I'm skeptical. I guess that also means I'm not very original.

[divagreen]

This is an old username that I used to use on another forum a couple of years ago. I think I was watching the tellie at the time, while trying to create an account for that site, when Madonna strutted across the screen and I thought, "Diva". Then...I thought about what I am most passionate about and that would be sustainable living, and well...g r e e n.

 

I use it on this site because I learned so very much with that username, and I hope that I may learn as much with it here.

incorrect syntax redundancy

[michel123456]

I hate nicknames.

Mine was chosen by mom & dad.

123456 is an unbreakable code i invented since Michel was unavailable. Some other fellow took it. It was probably me in some older perenigration.

[CaptainPanic]

Nickname?

You're suggesting you guys don't use your real names?

Damnit...

 

On a more or less serious note: I didn't so much choose my nickname... it sort of happened when I logged in the first time.

[StringJunky]

I was repeatedly referred to as a string junky because I was constantly in state of reviewing different strings for my guitar and not being able to make my mind which was best for me and I also liked the sound of new strings.

[Greippi]

My name is Katie Grape. "Greippi" means "grapefruit" in Finnish, and it amuses me that it does not, in fact, mean just "grape". The number of Finnish people I get informing me that I've got grape in Finnish wrong is insane.

[Variola]

Mine? I love microbiology! Not too original but that's it.

[jimmydasaint]

I am a film buff, of sorts, but also a fan of classic American films. 'Things to do in Denver When You're Dead' resonated with me because I had met characters like those in the film growing up in a tough part of town (psycho's and general nutcases). However, I liked the main character - Jimmy the Saint. The username box wouldn't accept the full name, hence the abbreviated version in a Bronx accent : jimmydasaint.
