Where did your user name come from??

[drjones]

avatars and Nom d'plumes....

My name DRJONES is from two sources....I have ALWAYS (since the age of ten) loved archaeology and Indiana Jones was what sparked the interest. The other source is because of my interest in archaeology, My friends teasingly called me DRJONES. The name to this day continues to be used by my friends.

[Spitfire]

...out of the clear blue sky.

Or out of a bottle.

 

[Gingerella72]

Our dog's name is Ginger, and Gingerella was one of her many nicknames.

It conveniently fits, though, as I love Ginger Rogers as well.

 

[Green Falcon]

I run a publishing company which produces (among other things) a pulp-genre fiction quarterly, as well as a pulp role-playing game.

The Green Falcon is one of the signature characters of that line.

 

[Diamondback]

My namesake...

Granted, this fella's from Cochise County, AZ, and I was named after his bigger relatives from South/West Texas, but... looks like he's been fed recently too, so that's probably about as happy as a rattler can get.lol

COOL website! I registered.

Have you seen the Steampunk thread here?

 

[henderson field]

Henderson who?

Mine comes from the ( former) name of the airfield on Gaudalcanal in the Solomons Islands.

I wanted a name that sounded like it might come from the 1940's ( perhaps a character in a Bogart film); something that would trip off the tongue. Due to my interest in the war in the Pacific "Henderson Field" seemed like an ideal choice.

Incidentally, the airfield was named after Lofton R. Henderson, a US Marine Corps flyer who died during the battle of Midway, June the 4th 1942.

 

[Miss 1929]

I might be able to one-up you on not being very creative; despite months of an assortment of exercises, I am unable to roll my wrists outward enough to correctly hold an electric bass.

Sounds like you should play acoustic bass, it's a lot easier on the wrists!

[Pink Dahlia]

Holy crap, I can't believe I've never posted in here!

I'm not quite as dark as Elizabeth Short. In fact I'm pretty pink. Plus, it's my favorite color. Thus I became Pink Dahlia.

*My username on here gave me my very first nickname: Pink! Yay!

 

[JohnnyGringo]

My user name, Johnny Gringo, is really a combination of my name, John Green, and my love for things Old West.

 

[Cascadian]

This part of North America -- the northwestern US and western Canada -- is often called "the Cascadian region" or just Cascadia, and when I started imagining an independent nation, just as a thought experiment, I called it the Kingdom of Cascadia. After that, this or the variant "asr-cascadian" (with my initials in front) became my default screen name for almost everything I did online.

 

[Custom79]

what's in a name?

My name comes from an old Honda motorcycle I restored and rode for a while. It sits safely in my garage until the winter snows are gone.

My internet service was changing it's whole setup and I needed to come up with a new email address at a moments notice and it was all I could think of.

The bike is formally known as a Honda CX500 Custom.

Sometime when I give it a little more thought, I'll try for something more creative.

Regards.

[kodou]

kodo is the name of a japanese taiko drum group I was into some years back.

 

[Twilight]

Twilight was the name of the book I was reading at the time.
I usually use greeneyes_1990 on message boards, but I thought I'd use something different on here. =]

 

[Mack]

What's in a Name?

I just picked what I thought was a common name. I like the sound of it and was surprised noone else had taken it.

 

[CeceliaRose]

It was my great-grandma's first and middle names, and Cecelia is my middle name. Just a way to carry on her memory.

*My username on here gave me my very first nickname: Pink! Yay!

I noticed that! People here for some reason automatically just started calling you 'Pink'. It fits.

[Mixmaster]

Mixmaster

...'cuz I collect vintage Sunbeam Mixmasters. 15 out of my 19 vintage mixers are Mixmasters....and I'm always looking for more!

 

[Vardeman Sneed]

'Vardeman' is the first name of one of my ancestors. There is actually a town named after him. If you find the town, you'll understand the 'Sneed' part. (I could have added another ancestor's name who had a town named after him, but it didn't sound right.)

My old username was '60CycleHum', which is the sound you hear/feel near a electric utility substation.
