Screen Names...

[Biltmore Bob]

I was just wondering how some of y'all came up with your screen name.

Me, my name is Bob and most of my fedoras are Biltmores...thus, Biltmore Bob. Not very creative I know...how 'bout y'all?

 

[Johnnysan]

Mine started on eBay...after trying every combination I could think of only to find that they had already been taken, something prompted me to type: "Johnnysan." (I think that I was watching a Jackie Chan movie at the time.) It went through and viola, there you have it - an overweight bald white guy in the Midwest with a markedly Asian-sounding screen name!

BTW - Biltmore makes a terrific hat! I have two of them and couldn't be happier with the quality. Hopefully, their comeback will be successful!

 

[jake431]

jake431 - well, my name is Jake (Jacob, if you want to get technical), and my Grandfather was a co-pilot/pilot in the 431st BS, 11th BG, 7th AF. All those numbers were too long, so I just used 431. And there you have it.

-Jake

Type in your name. Have a laugh.

If you have the right proportions of vowels to consonants, limiting results to two or three words (advanced) can come up with some really catchy (although meaningless) phrases.

 

[Brad Bowers]

Well, my middle name is Bradford, though people call me Brad, and my surname is Bowers, so it only seemed natural. I've never been partial to anonymity on the Internet, I guess.

Brad

 

[Zach R.]

Yeah, me too.

 

[BD Jones]

Mine comes from my Club Obi Wan name, Band Director Jones, as I am a middle school and high school band director. When I registered here (back when it was on the EZboard network) it would not let me put in "Band Director Jones"; it said the name was too long. So, I just abbreviated it to BD Jones.

 

[android]

My name is Andrew and I've worked in the computer industry for about 20 years, hence android. A coworker gave me the nickname right after Aliens came out. He'd call me android and I'd say don't call me that, I prefer the term artificial human.

 

[K.D. Lightner]

My name is Karol Diane Lightner, I never use the middle name, so legally sign as Karol D. Lightner, but like to shorten it to K.D. Lightner or sometimes kdlightner. No-brainer.

I get a kick out of some of the names folks use on the site, some of the guys names I like are Ghos7a55assin and Duce Apocalypse, and some of the gal's names, i.e., jitterbugdoll.

I hope Holly tells us what ITG means. I've been wondering....

[Zach R.]

Indiana Texas Girl.

 

[Nathan Flowers]

Zohar is a name in the Bible that I found humorous sounding. He was one of the long list of "begats" in Genesis. I've been using it for stuff since I was a kid.

For most things now I use Conan D. Librarian, but I'm afraid to change it because so many people know me as Zohar on here now.

 

[shamus]

If you read Raymond Chandler than you know what a shamus is.

 

[flat-top]

I used to have a 50's style flat-top haircut, and it's also a variation of my Ebay name!
flat-top

 

[elsewhere]

Mine must seem rather obvious.
It comes from my vintage business name.

THAT, however, came from a casual conversation before opening my 2nd antique store. Someone asked me what the new store was going to be like and I said something like "ohh... it'll be like the old one, just elsewhere"

 

[Biltmore Bob]

Shamus...

Come to think of it I should have called myself "Doghouse Reily".

 

[Julius Xavier]

Screen Names

Um... I'm an Indiana Jones fan... so I guess Doc would be short for Doctor... Indy is short for Indiana... and Jones well is just Jones. LOL



-Doc

 

[ITG]

I hope Holly tells us what ITG means. I've been wondering....

karol

Like BD Jones, I couldn't type Indiana Texas-girl (my Club Obi Wan name), so I opted for ITG, since that's what they call me anyway over there with my full online name being too long to type out.

 

[scotrace]

Just stuck

We used to have a company focused on finding sponsorship for NASCAR race teams. Fun+tax.
So when I began needing screen names (1992), I just tacked "Race" onto Scott.
Has absolutely no meaning or significance now, but I've used it too much to replace it.

 

[MudInYerEye]

My screen name corresponds with my Grandfather Bob's favorite toast.

 

[Mr. Sable]

Mine is a convoluted tale of requiring an alias dating before I ever heard of the old 'intertron'. Mr. Black was too obvious and too like "Reservoir Dogs". Sable means black and has a few arcane connotations, according to the "Encyclopedia of Forbidden Knowledge". I made up the first name, Warren, and many folks, to this day figure I'm two different people.

Holy mackerel! Even the short version is convoluted!
