How Did You Folks Get Your User Names? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Doodyville10019 · 10-18-2008, 01:41 AM

It's always fun to hear stories about how people choose user names. It sorta gives an insight into the personality of the person behind the name. Guess I'm first!

Me, I am a huge fan of Howdy Doody - the show was set in a town called Doodyville (hence the "Doodyville" half), and "10019" is (I believe) the ZIP code the town would have had if there were ZIP codes back then (oh god I hope I'm not wrong....LOL). Actually, it was a popular ZIP code that I recall if you wanted to get free tickets for game shows and the like back in the '60s and '70s.

I picked mine from one of my favorite Rock bands of all time, Bachman Turner Overdrive. (BTO)

TJL · 10-18-2008, 02:23 AM

^ 10019 is my zip code here in NYC.

Anyway, my username is my initials.

I'm not very good at coming up with usernames. Just about every username I have online is my initials.

i just like safety pins and thought it would be a cool name. i'm sure it was partly the result of going through a period of being pretty crazy, but i don't plan on ever changing it again.

Schmoopie · 10-18-2008, 03:06 AM

Mine is from the Seinfeld Soup Nazi episode where Jerry and his girlfriend Sheila are calling each other "Shmoopie" and driving George and Elaine crazy!

Andrea

I love your name Schmoopie.

MonarC was Mariah Carey's new music label at the time. So I used that name when I signed up.

PunkyP0WER · 10-18-2008, 10:20 AM

PunkyPower is of course from Punky Brewster as she frequently said it when triumphing over any problems she had. Punky Brewster was a fav. show of mine. I'm thinking of changing it though real soon.

OH Nuts! · 10-18-2008, 10:24 AM

Mine is sort of a play on words. I'm just crazy over the Adv. of Ozzie and Harriet. Guess you could say I'm nuts about O&H!! I only have 174 eps of the show (its a cross section of all the Seasons but 40% of all eps produced).....OH Nuts!!! (wish I had more!!!)

*Pleasant Tomorrow* · 10-18-2008, 12:38 PM

Mine's part of a weekend update signoff from SNL used by Chevy Chase in the 70's and more recently Tina Fey and Jimmy Fallon. In case you're not familiar with it, the whole phrase was "Goodnight, and have a pleasant tomorrow."

Yes, I remember that. Cool.

Around the time I signed up as a member of SitcomsOnline, I already had created some picture designs combining Angie and Florida State University, hence my FSU name:

LuLu Rogers · 10-18-2008, 01:24 PM

LuLu is a nickname given to me by a friend and Rogers because I'd like to be Mrs. Wayne Rogers

GARFIELDKOOL · 10-18-2008, 02:55 PM

When I was in grade and middle school, classmates use to call me "Garfield" because they thought I had big eyes like the orange fat cat. LOL Since then, that name stuck with me. I also like the R&B funk band, "Kool & the Gang" So I put Garfield and the Kool together when I created my username.

catlover79 · 10-18-2008, 02:58 PM

Simple - I love cats (and live with three of them) and was born in 1979.

sunshinefizzy · 10-18-2008, 03:12 PM

I got mine after a punch-like drink my aunt used to make for her kids. But, the name is funshinefizzy and not sunshine. Oh well.
