Sorry if this was already done, but how'd you come up w/ your screen name?

I've noticed many are obvious, but a lot are more obscure. Maybe if you've got one of the obvious ones, you can say why the inspiration meant enough to you to warrant a screen name.

:)

Before my name I used to be BJL (My full initials) but I wanted to have a name that defined me. I chose Brian because that is my name and that is enough to define who I am.

I picked my name because my nickname is Princess, and 2003 is because I graduated in 2003.

Miss Karly... Karly is my name. Well okay.... then Cheryl calls me "Miss Karly". Cheryl's like... my best grownup friend. So.. I find the name cute. So therefore, that's how it came to be :)

I couldn't think of one when I first decided to register, but then I went with this because I'm petite, and I have insomnia.

I remember your previous name, Bonnie Rox. People kept confusing you for Laura Dickerson/BonnieLilCutiePie (For those who don't know who I'm talking about, it's a long story and I am too lazy to explain).

My screen name, if you don't know, is after the character Diane Chambers from Cheers. I would have made a Sam and Diane one but there was already a Sam and Diane forever...so I wanted to be more original...haha even though at the time there were five other Dianes around. Diane Chambers is one of the most insane characters ever created for tv. She walked the thin line of being in an insane asylum or in a prestigious french restaurant Dining with the best of the best, ofcourse. If you don't believe me watch an episode of Cheers from the first five seasons, and if you do believe me....watch an episode anyway...it's good for the mind + soul.

Well, my name is Madelyn and Mads is my nickname that my friends here at SO gave me. :D

Yep that's correct. I'm just glad that it's over with.

Nickname.

I think my screen name is one of the more obvious sn's if you happen to be a fan of Bewitched and/or Elizabeth Montgomery. Pandora Spocks is the name Liz came up with to be used on the end credits of Bewitched every time Serena would appear in an episode. Leading many fans to believe that Serena was played by another actress. She thought Pandora Spocks was a bit more subtle, and a lot funnier. :D

Titania is the name of the queen in Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream

when I registered here I had just finished a production of AMND as Titania, it's also my favorite of his plays.

Years ago, on other message boards, I used to be known as "AKA Driver," which is the title of one of my favorite They Might Be Giants songs. Three or four years ago, I shortened it to AKA because it just sounds more mysterous.

Rickenbacker, do you play?:)

I took the first 2 letters of 3 of my siblings

DAnny

Pashmina: From the sweetie, pink-scarf-clad hamster on Hamtaro

Dietrich: From the smart, sly-witted detective on Barney Miller {and currently in my avatar ;) }

I'd like to think I have some of the better qualities of both characters... :D

I like Trading Spaces and I like mooses. Put em together.

Okay...my username means spoiled in Spanish. And one day I was talkin to my Spanish teacher and she called me Consentida and I was like oook. I decided I liked the way the word sounded so thats my username. so yeah...okay I'm done

Well My name is Adam. I love TV, and didn't want to name myself after a TV show or character. So I just went with "TV Adam".

Miss Fran Fine - super NANNY :)

My username is my initials, pure and simple.

I wasn't very creative when I first joined Sitcoms Online.

;)

My user name comes from my best friend, my dog. His name is Bandit, in Italian it's pronounced "Bandito"

Well, mine's pretty obvious, especially if you've seen my first two avatars. I just changed it again today, though! :D Sorry.

I started watching Moonlighting about two years ago, and it's been my show ever since. About a year ago, when I found out the reruns were getting knocked off Bravo, it actually sent me into tears! :crying: Now, I'm just hoping and praying that the DVDs come out soon, but until then, I have my username to remind me of the wonder that is Moonlighting.

:crazy:

:lol:

~Lauren

:sheep

Mine is pretty self explanatory LOL.. im a celine dion fan people , nice to meetcha!!!. I used to be *ShortCake* though and that was from Happy Days, I still love the show though, I never have time to watch it anymore.

The True Origin of King31...I've never told the truth about this before (The Online Racing League story is only half-true):

One afternoon, I was playing a few games of poker (no-stakes, admittedly). Well, suffice it to say, due to really crappy dealing I suppose, I, somehow managed to get a pair of Kings in *31* straight hands.

The next race in the aforementioned racing league, I switched my ScreenName, just for the heck of it, to King31. I got my best finish ever, to date, that night. It's stuck ever since.

Dawson= Richard, aka host of Family Feud, Newkirk on Hogan's Heroes, blah blah blah.

girl= you figure that one out.

Hannah is my first name....Lee is my middle name...and i thought the ~* *~ looked cool.

My older username was jeannieindallas, which comes from a ridiculous story where me and my best friend combined Dallas and I Dream of Jeannie.

And my other name, billdailyfanforever, was because I was a pretty big Bill Daily fan at the time. Still love him, just not crazy about him like I used to be.

Wow!~ I take a nap & it's jumped to 3 pages! Damn- & I wanted to reply by the 2nd page. :)

Anyway mine is inspired by the guitar brand of basses.
http://www.rudysmusic.com/images/rick_bass.jpg

They've got that amazing, bright, unmistakable sound & lots of my favorite players have put em to great use...

Chris Squire of Yes (http://homepages.which.net/~simon.arnold1/Fragile%20Images/SquireLive.jpg)

Paul McCartney (http://www.photos.mccartney.net/76F15.jpg)

Mike Rutherford of Genesis (w/ bass/12-string double-neck) (http://www.dprp.vuurwerk.nl/proghistory/images/1972_3/mike1.jpg)

Lemmy from Motorhead (w/ cool modified Rick) (http://www.swedenrock.com/images/lemmy1.jpg)

Geddy Lee from Rush - of *course*! (http://www.rikwalton.com/music/rock/rush/rush07.html)

George Harrison w/ his 12-string Rick (http://beatlemethisbeatlemethat.com/images/george/early/vnvb.jpg)


I'd like to own a Rick bass someday as well as a 12-string.:)

Istillgotit - Quote my fav Happy Days character Ralph Malph is known for


richpotsralphfonz = The 4 main characters of HD - Richie, Potsie, Ralph, and Fonzie

*A TV People*= a people of the tv :) It should be person, but I like people better. :)

Yeah, I know, my name doesn't really make sense. I was gonna make it *Loves TV*, but it was already tooken. :p

Sean = my name. *nods*

Snow = the last name from Chrissy on Three's Company.

I've also had two other names (my name was originally Sean Snow and then I changed it twice before going back. Like anyone wanted to know that. *le sigh*) ... Sean Feeney Snow and Burke Snow Winters (what was I on when I made that name?!)

Okay, my name has two different meanings.

PZelda...OK, bear with me here. I have been a HUGE fan of the Zelda series for Nintendo since 1987. My ABSOLUTE fave character in the Zelda series isn't a playable character the majority of the time -- that would be Princess Zelda. OK, anyway, one day in the fall of 1998, I was thinking of a new screenname for on ICQ and I did a search on "Princess Zelda" there and saw a LOT of people had that as their name...I wanted to be original, so that's how PZelda was born. I've been using that as my screen name in one way or the other for the last 5 years. :D

Now, the VICKI!! part of my name is pretty self-explanatory...But for those of you who don't know about it, I shall explain. I'm a Vicki Lawrence fan...Okaaaaaaay. HUGE. Better? Anyway, I'm a HUGE Vicki fan, and had the chance to meet her in person back in May (of this year...But I won't bore you with my story AGAIN. :p). Right around the time I met her, I decided to change my name to that....PZelda: VICKI!! just because I thought it sounded cool that way.

Vicki Lawrence rocks! :rock: Be sure to watch "Mama's Family", she played the lead character on there, Mama. :banana:

After going through numerous "forever" names (Annie Potts Forever, Delta Burke Forever, Patricia Heaton Forever, etc.) Sean once had suggested to me ______ Forever. Well, the blank was ugly. And TJ told me I could only change it one more time (I had changed it 10 times previously), so I thought back to that. And -* looks preety. So there you go.

My name before that (~*Roxie Rickman*~) is simple enough. I went by the name Roxie back then. I was in love with Alan Rickman. Simple! Oh, little known fact - when TJ told me I could only change my name one more time, I almost changed it to -*Roxy Irons*-. Only Mel knows that story... she talked me out of it. HAHAHA.

i think its obvious..........

My username comes from my interest in comic book drawing as well as in Lisa Whelchel/Blair Warner. I'm thinking of maybe changing it to something even more original...

My user name is kinda obvious!
DLQS stands for Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver
and fan means I'm their fan!

DL&QS rule!

Fleet-

Short for Cadillac Fleetwood.

It's my screen name ..

YoO itS: meaning, i am .. lol
lEE: My nickname, since my name is Lisa

Georgia's on my mind...it's a song...and also the theme song for Designing Women, which I was obsessed with when i registered here...also, I love Georgia, and it's on my mind...soo there you go.

um... i was obsessed with 'the division' and i liked saying i owned stuff, and i like the number 69! k????

mine comes from my frist name and the fact that im a huge saturday night live fan so a friend of mine said that should m be my screen name

This goes back a while. Okay, Tremors is my all time, 100% favorite movie. Then, at the beginning of this year, SciFi channel made a Series about the movies. In the series, Burt Gummer has an M82A1. I also used this Screen-name at the Tremors board, and it carried over to S.O.

I needed a name fast so I looked around and saw the name Microprose (the computer game company), thought it sounded cool, and added an "a" to it because I'm female.

wrong post

well my name's kerri...and most ppl call me kerri berri..and my bday is june 1987....

Mine comes from the tv show King of The Hill, Rusty Shackleford is Dale Gribble's fake name, he has used it many times on the show.

My first name was Foxyhonky1975..a nick name and the year I was born..my new username is named after detective Harris of Barney Miller; the arrogant, well-dressed black Sgt. who I adore and the only reason why I even bother watching Barney Miller...R. N. (Ronald Nathan) was Sgt. Harris full name...

I use mine through my son actually. I call him lilface and he was born on the 23rd. :D Everything I do revolves around him. :lol:

Mine came from the movie Joe Dirt. It is the alias of Clem the janitor (played By Christopher Walken) after he gets found out by the FBI and moves back to Silvertown

Hey Gert, I think your name is actually an actor who played Goldfinger in James Bond. Joe Dirt may have taken it from there.

For me of course, my name is from the television series Cheers and Frasier, Frasier W. Crane being the character on the shows.

Why did I choose mine? Ummmmmmmmmmm I kind of like The Beatles.:D

Wow interesting, I had often wondered how some of you had come up with your screennames :)

My screenname comes from the show Boy Meets World(one of my all time fav. shows) and on there is a character named Topanga Lawrence. My real name is Angela :)

Pretty simple :)

Threes Company was one of my favorite shows and MR. Roper was one of my favorite characters. His was the first name that came into my head when I was registering.

I changed it to Miss Vicki at around the beginning of January. I don't know why; I just like the sound of it. Yes, it STILL has to do with Vicki Lawrence. I love this lady. :rock:

It's Chachi's nickname for Joanie on Happy Days. Plus I've got blue eyes :p

i'm not a creative person. When i first joined, I liked Jo from FOL... so there for I just randomnly typed in Jo until I felt the need to stop. Now I don't watch FOL anymore, but I just don't feel the need to change. :)

My username "Small Wonderian" comes from the fact that I love the show Small Wonder. So, the name means one who has anything to do with Small Wonder.

My previous username was "amp2k3". It was a combination of:

amp = one of my various nicknames and 2k3 = the computer term (language) for the year 2003 - when I registered to SO
