User names

[nikipate]

I've always been curious on how people come up with their usernames.... does anyone care to share if there is a story behind theirs? If anyone doesn't want to answer because you are afraid it might give away too much personal info or anything then I won't be offended or anything. I realize some, like me, are just straighforward like your name but I was curious about other folks....

Just thought this might be a fun topic......

[Lady Hobbs]

I've wondered about user names myself. Some I can't remember at all. My name come from nothing glamous. I signed in at the rheumatoid arthritis forum as Hobbles and the members there just ended up shortening it to Hobbs.

[minabird]

Mine is a nickname that I got from my high school chem/physics teacher. He actually nicknamed my mynah bird, like the bird in Hawaii since that's where I ws born before moving to Michigan. My friends changed it to minabird since mina is my last name.

Greetings. It is fun to learn the stories of what is behind user names. The attached image is of my 21 yr old Son Michael and me. We have been dirt biking ever since he was 12 and I started racing motocross when I was 15. We ride Colorado every year. My daughter, son and I work part time at a local motocross race track during the summer months. My son works the start gate, my daughter works the rider check-in, I am the emergency medical first responder and track official. We ride whenever we get the chance. Hence the name, 'ChainDriven'.

[Severus]

Before i originally recieved my 55gal a year ago i was told it was a 100gal. So i made my username 100 Gallons of Water. Hence 100gw. I later found out it was only 55gallons! lol

[jweintraub]

First initial of my first name... Jon, last name Weintraub... too easy!

[cocoa_pleco]

HYDRA... add that and a pond to my list

[nikipate]

Thanks everyone for sharing... lol. I find this absolutely fascinating... especially as someone who justs uses my name... no imagination there.

Crackatinny, I love hearing about slang phrases from other countries.

Hobbs, I was surprised cause I was just assuming yours was your last name...lol

Abbeys_mom… that is so kind and wonderful. It’s wonderful to know exactly who you want to be. I’m still trying to figure that out myself.

Jeff … I like finding out new stuff about hobby lingo. Learn somethin’ new every day…

Chaindriven… I don’t get into motorcycles but I sure do want to be riding my horse through the countryside that is behind you in that picture…..

ROFLMAO at Sasquatch… that was short and sweet and to the point… I loved it.

I've really enjoying hearing everyone's stories....thanks for indulging me.

[f1oored]

My name is f1oored because my mother dropped me on the floor several times as a child. In some other forum (a long time ago) I wanted to be floored (with an L) but it was taken so now I use a "1" instead. A little 1337 5p34k 4 u.

[Lady Hobbs]

well im a big vw fanatic....i own a 1986 cabriolet that i show alot and vdub is the name used by most instead of volkswagen so thats why i use the name vdub:thumb:

I have never heard a vw called a vdub. Years ago we called them bugs. LOL

[Lady Hobbs]

Before i originally recieved my 55gal a year ago i was told it was a 100gal. So i made my username 100 Gallons of Water. Hence 100gw. I later found out it was only 55gallons! lol

LOLOL Who would have thunk it!

Now your name confused me from the beginning because I always referred to you as floored until one day I notice the L was a 1.

I always wondered what 86vwgli8v meant but he isn't here to explain it. Hard user name to remember, tho.

[jeffs99dime]

people still call them bugs. jettas and the such don't resemble a bug at all though. they say vdub around here too

[Abbeys_Mom]

That explains the uncanny ability to get the High Scores in the Arcade. She probably damaged the "distraction" part of your brain. lol :wink2:

[Rue]

I enjoy reading about username choices too...

...no particular reason for 'Rue'...just a name I've always liked, and it's rarely used...

[Severus]

I always wondered what 86vwgli8v meant but he isn't here to explain it. Hard user name to remember, tho.

I can explain part of that for you.
86= The year of 1986
vw= Volkswagen
gli= Model of car (if its an 86 it is a Jetta GLI)
8v = im gonna guess 8 valve?

[cocoa_pleco]

8v should be 8 valve, ... or 8 volt? no, valve

[Drumachine09]

I always thought that 100gw was 100 giga watts

[cocoa_pleco]

I always thought that 100gw was 100 giga watts


same:4: :4:

[vdub]

you nailed it with a 1986 volkswagen jetta gli with a 1.8liter 8 valve....:thumb:

[cocoa_pleco]

PWN3D lol:1:

[Severus]

PWN3D lol:1:

Me? lol.

I dont think so

[cocoa_pleco]

no, I just PWNED the answer.

It makes me feel special when I PWN my brain. LOL

[Severus]

haha. Defintely. i think that is the only word i know of whatever that language is. lol

[Lindsay_D]

um...guys...i'm not going to be as active anymore because of school and other things. the best way to keep in touch with me would be by email...sorry guys. i'll try to keep in touch whenever i can okay.

ohfortheloveofpete901@yahoo.com or ohfortheloveofpete901@gmail.com i check both.... sorry guys

Love Always

Lindsay Diane!

[Lauren B.]

If there's anyone here who can't figure out why I chose this user name, then you got dropped on your head harder than f1oored! :hmm3grin2orange:

I would have come up with something a little more exciting but I registered quickly so I could get a-readin' on the e book.

[Lady Hobbs]

Lauren, I happen to like your user name. Some of these I have to look up all the time. I go with the easy ones.

[Severus]

After being on here so much i am familiar with everyones user name, that is active. Except for the exception of a few. Lauren B - i also like the simplicity of your username!

[Lauren B.]

Lauren, I happen to like your user name. Some of these I have to look up all the time. I go with the easy ones.


Oh come on Hobbs, you and 100gw have to admit it....you two don't like my user name so much as you like my avatar! You guys like thinking of the prospect that little fishies are procreating in your H2O supply! :hmm3grin2orange:

[*Sarah*]

Well, I"m a Mom and my name is Sarah..enough said? lol

[Severus]

damn... you got me

[Nautilus29]

well nautilus is the name of the sub in 20000 leagues under the sea, 29 is for my b-day april 29th. I kept the 29 that way people would somewhat know it was me since my last sn was gcnadam29.

[Severus]

What was the gcn in your last username?

[Lauren B.]

What was the gcn in your last username?

I think that Nautilus's "gcn" in his previous user name stands for "Gotta Clean Now". I say this because with his big tank (and with that huge 180-gallon you have you eye on), you'll be spending all your time cleaning! :hmm3grin2orange:

Hey, we can make a little game out of this. All of us can post a guess as to what "gcn" stands for! thumbs2:
Um...unless Nautilus minds. :41:


Also, about the username Severus...did you choose that from the Harry Potter series?

[Severus]

No.. i chose it because of my two new severums i just got.

I think gcn stands for "game controller now!" when he yells at his girlfriend because he wants to play

[Nautilus29]

What was the gcn in your last username?


It stands for game cube nintendo. I was once a video game addict. I still play but im not as bad. I have some pains in my hands from when I used to play reg nes. I was pretty young then and I still have the pains lol.

I would sit there all day and play video games and even though my hands would hurt I would still play. somehow im still really skinny.

[Severus]

Wow, i was surprisingly close with my guess

[Nautilus29]

ya It surprised me when you said that lol.

[crackatinny]

I thought with so many new users I would drag this out of the archives, maybe a mod could clean it up to serve its main purpose and sticky it?

[Gelo_USA]

yea crackatinny....good idea
I would never knw this thread existed.....
My username is Gelo cause thts how they called me when I lived in brazil it means ICE but they used to call me tht because my name is angelo and USA cause I moved to USA lol

[cocoa_pleco]

Sweet. I figured it was because your name was angelo.

[Chrona]

My name was actually supposed to be Corona, as in the beer. Unfortunately, I had too much of it the night I registered, hence Chrona

























jk, I actually don't even remember when I first started using Chrona, but I believe it was back in middle school for some online game, lol.

[hungryhound]

My handle comes from a Cleveland Browns message board that I frequent. It came about because of two reasons.

1. The dawg (yes I spelled that correct) is the unofficial mascot of the Cleveland Browns.

2. My old Defensive Coach in HS used to say that he wanted the defense flying around like a bunch of Hungryhounds going in for the kill.

Which basically means that my name makes perfect sense on dawgtalkers and looks like a little funny here. So if it helps, think of me like this.

[Only Registered Users Can See Links.]

I know I could have changed it, but I am lazy and I don't want to have to remember a bunch of user names and passwords for every message board I go to. Hence you are stuck with a dawg in the aquatic community.


P.S. If I seem a little schizophrenic that is because my wife thinks it is fun to post under my user name from time to time.
