How did you choose your user name?

I'm just bored and wondered how you guys chose your user names and is there any meaning of it? I'll start. dodo is my nickname. 90024 is the zip code where I currently live. Simple. __________________ grainger hall is the dorm I live in and I'm a guy...also simple. __________________ Kain is a character from Final Fantasy II and 9i6 is a variation of 916 which is the area code I live in.. __________________ five years ago we were doodling, and she doodled a pic of me snowboarding, and wrote freestyleee under it (i don't know why.) i thought it sounded cool without the free, and i've been styleee ever since! __________________ http://www.gotapex.com/forums/showth...?threadid=6980 (So... What is your UserName all about?) http://www.gotapex.com/forums/showth...threadid=10347 (How did you guy's get your name?) __________________ Well, since I am the ayatollah of rock and rollah, and so is my role model Chris Jericho, I decided to portray myself as his name. I have no 'y' or 'j' in my name at all, muahahahaha __________________ Nickname is T but because I do so many silly stupid things my friends also call me Dizzy. simple. __________________ Quote: Originally posted by StonedWheat http://www.gotapex.com/forums/showth...?threadid=6980 (So...

They were Icons of little IC's with micro legs and little green LED eyes. I added the 9 on the end just in case somebody else already had Nanotech reserved for a username... hehe... found the icon file: [Edited by Nanotech9 on 11-17-2000 at 10:06 AM] __________________ *Oblongmelon*: With Age..everything sags.

Since Tricky has been long taken, I compound the two and come up with my own. Tada! __________________ 808 is Bob in old pager talk language (according to some of my younger friends). So basically, you're tricky bob. Cool. Apex is a name I collected back in my racing days. Ah, those were the days. Back when I was younger (yep, a young whipper snapper like many of you), there was this place in Palos Verdes nicknamed "deadman's curve". I used to go driving a lot on my old Eclipse GSX. It's a 15mph right hand hairpin that has a cliff on the outside. I used to punch it in 2nd gear early enough for the turbo to reach 18psi right at the apex of the curve, causing all 4 wheels to spin like mad (and causing the Pirelli P700-Z's to actually fold over on their sidewalls) and I'd drift from the inside to the outside corner far enough for the wheels on the drivers side of the car to touch the white concrete gutter part of the road, and I could look over the cliff. Yep, 4 tires lasted me all of 6k miles. *sigh* Ah the good old days. Unfortunately, I grew up and lost my sense of immortality. Now I sit in front of the computer all day and find deals for you guys. __________________ Quote: Originally posted by Apex 808 is Bob in old pager talk language (according to some of my younger friends).

Damn Apex!!! Just reading that nearly gave me a heart attack. For some reason I never really had that sense of "immortality". __________________ Quote: Originally posted by Apex Now I sit in front of the computer all day and find deals for you guys. that's what I like to hear!! __________________ I'm sure you all can guess how I got my name. __________________ I don't have a funny story to go along with mine... G = nickname from Greg Wilks = nickname for my last name 98 = year I graduated from HS It's also my AOL SN and my username for a bunch of email accounts I also go by another name, nonboner, but that's a different story altogether. __________________ I just looked in the Mirror and there it was ;0) __________________ I have a longtime friend who is very critical. Well,when we are together, nothing is sacred. We cut up everything and everyone. Sometimes it's serious and other times it's just done in jest. I call him a mocker and he calls me the same. I went into a singles chatroom using johnnymock and it really didn't look like the kind of name to attract anyone. So I changed it to johnnymk. __________________ Quote: Originally posted by johnnymk ...So I changed it to johnnymk. and here i thought U were refering to Mk-Ultra :0) __________________ I love the Beatles. 'nuff said. __________________ Pretty simple - Kurt Vonnegut, Cat's Cradle. Hilarious book about the end of the world. The good story is about my handle just about everywhere else, asp00. First time I played Final Fantasy on NES, I was 10 yrs old and had two pet snakes. Named my first character Asp because it was the first snake I could come up with. (2nd was Boa, of course) Then I used it in every other RPG I ever played, and still do. The first ISP I signed up with, some local thing, asked me for my user name. Tried to get asp, it was already taken. Got asp00, been using it ever since. If you see asp00 anywhere else, it's probably me. (I'm on a LOT of sites, mailing lists, BBSs, etc.) __________________ Hmm it's my last name...the 1 is just there no real reason to it... Mavi forum
