What inspired you to make your username?
Mine is prety self explanatory...i like the colour purple,and i happen to look good when i wear it :lol: So modest huh? Well thats my story.I'm sure some people have wondered why people have the username they do,so i thought a thread about usernames was due. :)

Not one of my more creative moments, but I've learned to live with it.

01-05-2005, 10:10 AM
Hmm... well, Kay Scarpetta is the main character in a series of books I read by Patricia Cornwell. She's awesome... and my nickname, coincidentally, is Kay. So hence, Kay Scarpetta.

GARFIELDKOOL
01-05-2005, 12:08 PM
When I was in middle school, people use to nickname me Garfield, because people thought I had big eyes like the big orange cat, but I attracted a lot of females with these eyes, and I sort of stuck with the name since, and Kool because The funk group Kool & the Gang is my favorite band.

*GoodMorningCalgary*
01-05-2005, 12:15 PM
Well I was thinking of a nickname but I couldn't think of anything, and I had just finished watching an episode of "Good Morning Miami" and so I thought I would just change it to Good Morning Calgary because I live in Calgary.

Penny Lane
01-05-2005, 02:32 PM
Penny Lane is the title of a great Beatles song. I wanted a name pertaining to the Beatles so I chose this because I wanted a female name. It was either Penny Lane, Lady Madonna or Eleanor Rigby. :lol: I thought Penny was a cool name.And in case you are wondering............. I chose this name way before "Almost Famous" came out in which Kate Hudson's character's name is Penny Lane. Well! Guess they stole my idea! It was mine first! ;) :lol:

It's a play on the phrase "Twist of Fate" and Kate is one of my nicknames. Fate is replaced with Kate and I added these ~* for decoration. Chad came up with this name on MSN one night.

Liza
01-05-2005, 03:46 PM
I was going through a serious Liza Minnelli phase a few years ago, which luckily, I grew out of. But I do still like the name and I use it often as my online alias. I also use it in real life, when a guy asks me my name and I don't want to tell him, I just say it's Liza. ;)

Sterling Holobyte

PZelda
01-05-2005, 04:04 PM
I've been playing the Legend of Zelda series on Nintendo since I was just a wee little thing and my fave character of all time (even tho she's been unplayable in pretty much all of the games, except for the Smash Brothers games) is Princess Zelda. It came around many years ago when I used to have ICQ. I saw that many other people had "Princess Zelda" as their usernames on ICQ, so I thought for a bit and then thought of PZelda...nobody had it, so I put it in as my name and it's stuck ever since.

-*Forever*-
01-05-2005, 08:42 PM
Oh, I've told this story so many times. But that won't stop me from telling it.

So I used to be Patricia Heaton Forever, then Delta Burke Forever, then Annie Potts Forever. Sean (Sean Snow) once suggested to me that I become _______ Forever, and just put whoever in my avatar. I got to the point where TJ said I could only change my username one more time, so I figured it should be generic and something I'd like for awhile.

So I went with Sean's idea. Only the blank was ugly, so I added -*... I used to always use ~*, but I find that so ... I don't know, adolescent looking? So I used -'s :D

There you have the story of -*Forever*-.

No, but that would be a good one, too!
I forgot, I thought of it after I chose my username, but the first person to see the iceberg which the ship the Titanic hit was an employee named Frederick Fleet. So, in a way, that's another explanation of "Fleet."

Michael [hXc]
01-05-2005, 09:11 PM

well J is my middle initial and is the first letter of Jimmy's name so I could use that in the future :lol: i considered it before i got it changed to this.

At the end of Jan. 1974, my family moved to Toledo, and two or three times agter that went we went to Cleveland we took the Ohio Turnpike to nothern Summit County, Ohio and took Ohio 8 up to C-town.
