View Full Version : Getting to know you........... (how'd you come up with that username?)
savageamusement 09-07-2005, 05:28 PM As a new moderator here, I have been diving into boards trying to get to know more people- as well as introducing myself around.
One of the things I Have noticed is the collection of such unique names-
And I was curious of anyone wanted to share with me, why they chose what they did as a sign on name :)
Mine, for example- has to do with a band called Scorpions- a titled album, due to specific lyrics on the album.
Anyone else care to share:) Don't be shy..

flipper 09-16-2005, 04:13 PM I just signed up (as in JUST) and used the name flipper because my name is Phil, and Flipper is, well, Flipper! I just thought it fit. Anyway, I've recently moved to LA to pursue a sitcom-writing dream and found this board in my search for sitcom resources. I'm originally from Chicago, where I directed some community theater and taught writing classes in an adult education program. I'm really looking forward to hanging out on this site and using it as a sounding board for some of my unpolished scripts, etc.
I looked around for some sort of "introduction thread" where I could introduce myself, but there doesn't seem to be one! If I missed it, could some kind soul give me a pointer? Thanks!
Living In a '70's Dream 09-22-2005, 12:31 AM I totally made up my username. I wanted something unique and a tad different from the rest. But the real motivation behind the name is the fact that I have a fascination with both women's clothing and television shows of the 1970s. :)
Joeylova87 09-26-2005, 10:16 AM A friend and I created this username. I love Joey (Friends), and my friend was born in 1987.

swedeace 10-11-2005, 09:18 PM "Swede" because I love Sweden/Swedish and "Ace" from my favorite group, Ace of Base. :D When you put them together and say it as one word, it sorta sounds like "swedish" with an "ay" sound from "ace." I dunno.... I just thought of this username on a whim back in 2000.
savageamusement 10-11-2005, 11:46 PM That is a neat way to put a user name together, Nice picture too!!

And also thank you for the compliment on my avatar! A good friend of mine took this photo, actually, and submitted it at an amateur photography website. I am quite fond of it myself, as well! I asked him if it'd be all right to use it as my avatar, and he said "yes." ;) I agree, he did a GREAT job on snapping the photo with his digital camera. It's a nice picture! I LOVE it so much!! It is such a beautiful rose!! He gets all the credit for the photo, so I will pass on your compliments to him.

Stormtracker TF 01-23-2006, 05:31 AM I'm pretty sure my friend Chad suggested I use this name. I've had it for quite a while, so I'll probably be changing it soon.
Brad Russ 01-23-2006, 05:50 AM There's no story behind my current username. I was just looking for a change, and thought up a name that I thought described me pretty well. Even though there are alot of views I have that are Liberal, for the most part, Iv'e discovered that I'm pretty Conservative.
MsOrange 01-23-2006, 07:38 AM MsOrange (nickname) + 78 (boyfriends football number from high school)

username is "vegan_matt, my name is Matthew Vincent (only my mother uses my full name, like if she hears me curse or something) and I am a Vegan. Veganism is very important to me, so that is why I have added it to my username.
Kristen 09-01-2006, 03:16 AM My usersname is my real name. ;)
Same. (Yeah, big surprise, hehe!). When I joined SO, it was to ask a question on the Mary Tyler Moore board, so I used my real name for lack of something better. And I don't think I'd ever change it, b/c I'm so used to it now.
JoJoBear 09-05-2006, 07:03 PM Hello :wave: I just joined today because I love classic sitcoms and I thought it would be fun to discuss them with other people. My username is one of my cat's nicknames. Her name is JoJo but I call her JoJoBear because she is so lovable. She is the most lovable cat I've ever had. I have two other cats named Oreo and Chloe.
Ireneparalegal 09-05-2006, 07:08 PM I will post what I responded with on a similar thread regarding usernames:
Paralegal is my real name, Irene is just a formality.
Yooch 09-05-2006, 07:15 PM Yooch is just a variation of the first syllable of the name Eugene, which is my given name. My mom would call me Yooch occasionally when I was a lttle kid. She'd use it only when she was calling me, like for dinner or something, but never addressed me as Yooch on a daily basis. Most people nowadays call me Gene, or Gino.
Brad Russ 09-05-2006, 07:21 PM It was a nickname given to me by a good friend who knew I was a big Mel Gibson fan. He's big Mel, I'm little Mel.

I saw a man on a flaming pie, and he said, 'You are AKA with an A.' And I are.
-*Forever*- 09-05-2006, 08:03 PM I had three previous "forever" names... Patricia Heaton Forever, Delta Burke Forever, and Annie Potts Forever. TJ got sick of changing my name. Sean Snow had once suggested to me, "Change your name to __________ Forever and put whoever the person is in your avatar." I didn't use the _______ but the -* because they looked pretty :D
Ohio8 09-05-2006, 08:04 PM For the first 13&1/2 yaers of my life, my family lived in Mayfield heights, Ohio, which is one of Cleveland's eastern suburbs. In the aerly 1970s, me, my brother, and our dad sometimes drove down to Akron to watch pro wrestling in the Akron Armory.
To get there, we drove Interstate 271 south to Ohio S.R. 8, which goes to downtown Akron. My family moved to Toledo at the end of January 1974, and
two of the first times we visited Cleveland we took the Ohio Turnpike and then various roads, including Ohio 8, north to Cleveland.
Karen* 09-05-2006, 09:29 PM I got my current username from one of my favorite songs at the moment, "Girl Next Door" by Saving Jane. :D
LuLu Rogers 09-05-2006, 11:28 PM My username comes from my favorite movie "Chance Of A Lifetime" starring John Ritter and Katey Sagal. John's character's name is Tom Maguire and they call him Maguire and Katey's charcter's name is Irene Dunbar and they call her Spike, anyway, she ends up being John's character's one true love, and I'm much like that character, so it became Maguire's Lady. Long story, LOL! :p
Mrs. Periwinkle 09-06-2006, 12:49 AM OK, Match Game has been my favorite television show since I was a child and many times the host, Gene Rayburn, would do impersonations of 100+ year old Mr. and/or Mrs. Periwinkle for questions about them. (i.e. "100-year-old Mrs. Periwinkle said, 'My car and my husband have something in common. They both need a new BLANK.'")
So, I wanted a name and I thought that would would be a good choice.
EmoJoe 09-06-2006, 01:12 AM well i wanted a more permanent username and i didnt like "EmoJoe" anymore, since people were thinking i really WAS emo (really was just a nickname i was given by friends here, im not REALLY emo) and "Joe" was already taken so i just added the trademark symbol to it. it means this is MY USERNAME, and it's me, not anyone else! :snob:

Sharop 09-09-2006, 07:20 PM I originally thought of the name Sharop for a character in a story I was writing. Nothing ever came of the story, but I used Sharop for my username. It's quite a weird name, but I like it.

Adamantium 01-07-2008, 12:07 AM Originally I had the name "TVAdam." That's because I love TV and my name is Adam. After many years of having that username, I changed it to "Adamantium." Even though that's the name of the metal inside Wolverine, I use it more as like it's the longer version of my name - Adamantium.

Nighthawk76 01-07-2008, 12:12 AM Simple...I love cats (and have three) and was born in '79, so I just put them together!!! :D
It seems like 75% of the 70's babies here were born in 1979, doesn't it? I don't think anyone else here was born in 1976.
catlover79 01-07-2008, 12:15 AM It seems like 75% of the 70's babies here were born in 1979, doesn't it? I don't think anyone else here was born in 1976.
Cathy, John and I were all born in 1979, but I don't know who else here is.
Nighthawk76 01-07-2008, 12:16 AM Cathy, John and I were all born in 1979, but I don't know who else here is.
That still makes two more than who were born in 1976.
Mr. Television 01-07-2008, 12:19 AM I'm trying to come up with a new name. I've had this one for well over a year. :lol:

Adamantium 01-07-2008, 12:30 AM CATLOVER, YOU SHOULD BE NAMED "DICK YORK & ELIZABETH MONTGOMERY LOVER," BECAUSE YOU'RE IN LOVE WITH THEM! IT'S SO OBVIOUS! OR MAYBE "TABITHA" SINCE THAT'S THE NAME OF THE CHILD THAT DICK YORK (AS DARRIN) AND ELIZABETH MONTGOMERY (AS SAMANTHA) HAD!
Yes, I'm trying to be obnoxious, lol.
catlover79 01-07-2008, 12:30 AM The only name I've had longer than this one was mr. roper. :lol:
