I always thought you were talking about the movie. . . .Good movie.

My Answer

 

[Mark Young]

It was the only thing I could think of at the time of joining.
Sir Eric was suppose to be "Sir Eric the good and kindly Llama". But that seemed a bit long so it got shortened.
Wanted to go with Amenhotep IV or akhenaten but they were already taken.

 

[Stapel]

My Name is Stapel. Easy huh?

Stapel is my Family name.

 

[Belle Du Jour]

Mine was easy. It is from a Luis Bunuel film. The title of the film is, in fact, "Belle de Jour" but I chose a slightly different version of this as I am only here during the day and never the evening.

 

[ferenginar]

I am a money grabbing accountant.

 

[Belle Du Jour]

I am so sorry.

 

[Padma]

I think I will take a page from Turner's book and simply point to a previous reply.

Here.

 

[Belle Du Jour]

Interesting

 

[Mojotronica]

I like for people I meet to think that I am ********, so that they underestimate me. So I thought "what is the most ******** name I can come up with...?"

But of course, it was taken already. So were my second and third choices. As well as my fourth through eleventh choices.

Then I thought up "Mojotronica" -- right on! It's just ******** enough to work!

***

Naw -- just messin' wit chu.

The name is a fusion of "mojo" = magic, divine etc... and "tronic" = electronic, technological, w/ an "A" added to the end to give it some extra bite...

Mojotronica.

I like fused, compound words... e.g. philosophomoric, polycassandranna -- especially if the meaning of the new word would be necessarily paradoxymoronic...

EDIT: added second half...

I started using it on internet 5 years ago. It's handy, because hardly anyone else uses it, and it's easy to remember all usernames and passwords if you only use one.

 

[Sh3kel]

The New Israeli Shekel, Israel's actual currecny, replaced the Israeli Shekel in 1985, the year I was born. Eerie coincidence.

 

[gerryandersson]

It is my e-mail with out the @ and spray.se

It is allso my real name, Gerry Andersson

 

[D' Artagnan]

Stapel is my Family name, Bastiaan comes from my mother's father. Don't have a middle name. My father has forgotten it in his enthousiasm..... My father and my three younger brothers all have a J. in between.

I would hate if everyone called me in forums with my last name. Calling smne by his last name is unfriendly IMO.

anyway, I chose D' Artagnan cuz it sounded cool and I loved Dumas' "the Three Musketeers".

Nickname? What do you mean?

Besides the normal meaning of a name that you go by besides your birth given name, nickname is also another word for username or forum name.

Do NOT make me hurt you I was being sarcastic, as I think you probably were

 

[Obssesed Nuker]

How I got my name? Uh DDDDDUUUUUUUUHHHHH!

 

[china444]

In May 2002, I was playing a China game in civ.

So hence the name china444.
BIG MISTAKE!
I want somethingg else and have mailed TF but I thought Id just keep it this. Ther was a 6 month absence between the time I registered and the time I started posting.

I wanted my name change to be Uncle Pennybags, my current avatar, but then I cahnged. So that would not work if I change frequenly.
