How did you choose your username?

[Turner]

Nah...I'm land-locked. No way an armada can get near me! Unless they try to come up the Mighty Mo....

 

[classical_hero]

And lo, the day was dark.
He who is Thunderfall came unto me, and sayeth:
"Thou shalt register, and thy name shall be Turner."
And it was done.

But the original would have been, "Thous shalt register, and thy name shalt be Turner_727." When you changed your name to get rid of the numbers, for awhile I thought there was a new member.

I am correcting it so that it is in proper Old English.

 

[greenpeace]

Because I'm an environmentalist and I like Greenpeace. Honestly I rarily use the internet for much else, except for studying which, of course, requires no username.

 

[Eran of Arcadia]

greenpeace, you are now part of UPIF? So am I and about 10 other people in the entire CFC. Not many have heard of it, it appears. In my case it pretty much consists of a line in my sig and no more.

 

[greenpeace]

yeah, I heard about it when I read Lockesdonkey's signature. We don't do much do we.
edit: should we start a thread or something
edit: what we should really do is not spam, but oh well.

 

[Mirc]

My username is formed from the first letters from my first name. IT'S NOT FROM THE CHAT PROGRAM mIRC!!!

And yes, I use it everywhere, except where it is already taken by someone with the same name as me who had the same idea. I am pretty sure I have it on any English forum, but not in all those which are in Romanian.

 

[ZiP!]

When I was 17 years old, in a 1 week span, I managed to "miraculously recover" (Scandisk power ) critical project files from damaged floppy disks, for 2 of my friends. In return, I was named "Floppy".
Less than a year later, I turned 18 (majority where I live...) so my friends "upgraded" me to a Zip drive

 

[raen]

My first and only username, got it at univ, where I had to have one.
So its build out of my name:

r (related to my first name)
a (related to my second or last name)
en (related to my third name)

No, just admit that you wanted an anagram of my name!

Of course, you have been here longer . . .

[Stolen Rutters]

Rutters are the small books where sailors write down navigational information. During the Age of Exploration, rutters were valuable tools to find that new colony or outpost that you planted. If the enemy got hold of them, they would be able to find your new outposts by just following a plotted course derived from the Stolen Rutters.

I got it from the game Europa Universalis II (one of those old gems of a game). My username on the Paradox forum is the same.

 

[col]

It's what everyone calls me.

 

[PrinceOfLeigh]

My name relates to the place I first lived. I wasn't technically born there but I spent the formative years in Leigh.

Most Princes are named after exotic places "Persia", "Monaco", "Not Wales". I thought I'd go for a little Irony and be Prince of what is effectively a rotting ex-mining town.

It's what everyone calls me.

What? "Col" or "old fart"?

 

[col]

Sadly both, these days.

 

[civ2]

Well - my nick names the best game I've ever played.
(Just joking - or NOT? )

 

[Rossiya]

It's my name.

 

[ChrTh]

*ChrTh* is the sound a blogger makes when his throat is cut open.

 

[Red Door]

It's my first name shortened, my last name, and then the day of my birthday.

 

[PrinceOfLeigh]

Forgot to mention before, this is the only username I use. It's all over the place.

Thats one of the thigns about Bath, we have nicknames for each otehr and often don't knwo each othes real names

Same in Wigan, I'd played rugby with people for years and I didn't know their first name. Some people we just knew as Dicko or Walshy. Obviously there was Gargoyle as well but I knew his real name.
