Where did your user name come from??

[Madison Paige]

Hi Ladies and Gents,

After looking around the lounge and the powder room, I've been getting very curious where all these user names came from (handles, names, whatever you want to call them). So fill me in! What inspired you to come up with your user name??

I'll get this started, mines very simple, Madison Paige is my first and middle name.

Sorry if there is already a thread like this, but I couldn't find anything...

 

[Johnny Turner]

Mine is pretty simple also. My family calls me Johnny.

 

[Atticus Finch]

Hi Folks,

Just like the Harper Lee character who was the inspiration for my user name, I, too, am a lawyer in a sleepy Southern town.

Atticus

 

[Tommy Fedora]

Ingenious in its simplicity.....

My name is Tom and I like fedoras.

 

[carebear]

At the School of Infantry in California I was apparently never able to muster up a decently scary "war face".

One of the training NCO's riffed off my last name and came up with "carebear".

Stands out on the radio among all the "death dealers" and "grim reapers", tends to tick off the zeros as well. So I grew to like it.

 

[Viola]

Wanted a vintage-sounding girl's name, which my real name is not, and violas are pretty flowers (violets and pansies and johnny-jump-ups).

 

["Doc" Devereux]

My name is David Devereux, but most of my friends call me Doc.

Oddly enough, I have a similar thing going on with my callsign: Wabbit. Apparently the second choice was Sweetums, after the big monster onthe Muppet Show! lol

 

[Maj.Nick Danger]

Danger's the name,...

... and danger is my game. :fedora:
(My latest avatar says it all)

 

[Maj.Nick Danger]

Ehhh,.....stick with wabbit, Doc. [/FONT]

 

[pigeon toe]

I got my username from the term "pigeon toed", since that was what I was when I was a kid. Plus, I just love pigeons.

 

[Barbigirl]

=8-o

My name really is Barbi. You know the character Rollergirl in Boogie Nights? An old friend put a twist on it and adapted a term of affection/inside joke to Barbigirl after watching that movie. I use it for all my web screen names if at all possible.

 

[happyfilmluvguy]

This name just came into my mind when I was thinking of a new username. That was 3 years ago. It's used everywhere. Look it up and see for yourself!

happy =
film = film maker
luv (love) = love for film
guy = I don't know what this means

 

[reetpleat]

Well, mine is pretty self evident. It was my first choice for an e-mail address with Yahoo many years ago. That was before I knew how to use it and it is long gone to someone else.

But I now use reetpleatsf, as I used to live in San Francisco. I am just thrilled it was available.

If you don't know, reet pleat is a slang term from thirties hipster jazz usage. Reet is good as in all right, all reet, all root. Reet! and pleat as in a sharp crease in your slacks.

As in, The cat picked up a righteous vine at the shy's for a nickle. It had a reet pleat and a stuffed cuff. He was outa sight. I liked to near flip my lid when I first laid my peepers on it.

 

[Miss_Bella_Hell]

Mine is just a slightly more naughty version of my stage name, which is Miss Bella Inferno. I wanted to change it to Bella Hell but the other girls wouldn't let me! Oh, well.

 

["Doc" Devereux]

Ehhh,.....stick with wabbit, Doc.

I wasn't given any choice in the matter. Callsigns are inflicted, ahem, chosen by one's colleagues! lol

 

[Fatdutchman]

I use the same name on every message board. The 18th century ones, and the "early to mid 20th century" ones. I am of German descent, and perhaps a bit overweight (though that is quickly changing), and I took my name from the OLD Pennsylvania German polka band "Six Fat Dutchmen" (why on earth Deutschers are called "German" and Hollanders were ever called "Dutch", I don't know... ). I could have called myself the "Slightly overweight German" but that doesn't have the same ring to it...

Actually, on one board I am "der Fett' Deutscher".

WOO HOO HOO!:eusa_booh :drum: :whistling

 

[PeeWee]

I have no idea why I came up with PeeWee for this forum. Nobody has ever called me PeeWee Most folks just call me Al

 

[PrettySquareGal]

I'm pretty square (as in mostly; not calling myself pretty).

 

[scotrace]

.

My name is Scott, and I used to be involved with NASCAR racing.

 

[Lincsong]

Linc as in Lincoln Motor Division
Song because I ran across a new employee of a client named Birdsong. So I thought that was a funny last name.lol
Yeah, I know I have a wicked sense of humor.
