User name allusions

[Old Hippy]

mines just to remind me that if I try really, really hard, my posts could actually reach that level of quality and lasting significance

 

[JollyRoger]

V's dead baby, V's dead.

Drone?

Sorry, not even remotely close. And uh, let's have that be the last one. I don't want this to be a 'let's guess his name' thread.

Vernon Ray Willie Carter?

 

[Zack]

It is my first initial, middle initial, first three letters of last name. So I've been using a variation of it for over 46 years.

Barack Hussein Supama?

 

[gay_Aleks]

Breaking news: Obama is from Kansas! Objectively worse than coming from Kenya.

 

[Zack]

Breaking news: Obama is from Kansas! Objectively worse than coming from Kenya.

He's not in Kansas anymore...

 

[JollyRoger]

Somewhere over the rainbow.

 

[bhsup]

El Mac, I'm honest to God truly sorry

 

[Valka D'Ur]

Perhaps no one will believe this claim...but I guessed that.

Bhsup is being entirely truthful.

 

[Timsup2nothin]

Bhsup is being entirely truthful.

I actually meant my claim to having guessed it.

 

[El_Machinae]

El Mac, I'm honest to God truly sorry

No worries. There'd only be a handful of such usernames anyway

 

[SamSniped]

I found this name amusing at one point. I actually do have a different username to change to, just too lazy to do it at the moment

 

[madviking]

this is just some crap i came up with when i was 12 years old

 

[Daw]

Mine is for Jackdaw, not for Digital Audio Workstation.

My dictionary, as usually, feeds me with tons of decoy stuff, like Directorate of Atomic Warfare, Desperate Attention W*ore, Damned Average Wrecker, Dumb Ass Whites (whatever that means), Division for the Advancement of Women, deaerated water, Dedicated All-Weather aircraft, Dubai Air Wing, Dispense As Written...

But what I meant was Jackdaw, really. ▼

This one is also good: ▼

[LamaGT]

Lama means "blade" in Italian, at the time I invented it I was playing Assassin's Creed
It also means "llama", and I thought it was kinda funny. Eventually though I just stuck with the name, even if the joke is lost in English. The GT is because plain Lama was somehow already taken, but I usually add 43 instead of GT now.

 

[Yeekim]

Jeekim is a word of uncertain etymology, meaning an impish creature.

"J" is pronounced as "Y" in Estonian, hence the substitution. Didn't occur to me until later that the result feels very Korean.

 

[Goodfella]

It's the movie Goodfellas which was probably obvious.

 

[Josu]

Mine is my real name. Not very clever, even less once you know the history of the name.
In the beginning of the XX the basque nationalist leader, Sabino Arana, realized that most of names in Basque country were Spanish or at least with latin roots (Priest in basque country were only christening under these naming conventions), he decided to write a basque naming convention based on bible characters. He unilaterally decided that Jesus would be Josu onwards.
I always have wondered why he didn't change his name to Sabin, which sounds clearly less Spaniard than Sabino.

 

[Ailedhoo]

My user name, Aile Dhoo, is Manx for "black fire"

 

[amadeus]

Mine: Falco, not Mozart.

Sadly, no. With a name like yours, at best one of them will survive!
