View Full Version : where does your username come from?
I've wondered this about a few names I have seen on the forum. Where does yours come from?
Mine is a shortened version of my old username on eBay, Goldenoldie5 and that comes from my surname (My ex husands nickname at school was Oldie) - Olden.
Olden/Golden/Goldie...see?
How about you? :)
I'm not sure really, I first noticed being called Gerry when I was at school, even my parents call me it. Then, as a teenager I was called Gerry by almost everybody. By the time I was an adult I was known as Gerry to one and all.
I think it maybe something to do with my parents from when I was a baby.
Hope this helps.
Gerry x
;)
Indecently, I was known as Gatso on the Supra forum, which was the first forum I was on for a fair few years (before I saw the light and got into bikes). I chose that as I wanted something that started with G, so I could sign off with G, and something that was short and snappy.
It was also in the days when Gatso’s where fairly new and seemed almost the invention of the Devil !
When I joined a number of bike forums, Gatso was taken on one of them so I changed to a name that was free on them all. Pity really as I liked Gatso.
G :)
I’m also known as Donkeydick on some other forums but I was to modest to use it here ;D ;D ;D

mine is a bit pretty self explanatory... My name is Alexandra and being as thats usually taken I sub half the letters with numbers.
Feel free to call me Al, Alex, Lexie, Alz etc, I write my full name usually to define the fact i'm female as being into cars, bikes, football and computers its usually assumed I'm probably male! :o
Mines fairly simple really, was called Rob, through out my school years, and so it stuck, and i prefer to be called Rob, however my name is Robert, and if Rob is taken as a forum name then i go for Robf, or Robf279.
Mine comes from 1985. I was working with another geezer called neil. So everybody used to get confused about who was who. They nicknamed him Bones and Me Nelly. I think i got off lightly ;)

Nico - real name is Nicolette but i dont use it very often cause i dont like it, but i do like it being shortened to Nico
And babe cause I is a girly :)
lol @ Gerry
mine comes from my name :P and the deepest darkest recesses of my mind......plus i thought it'll be a nice simple one to rememeber.
(off topic slightly - i am known on another forum as Porky, something to do with army mentality of eating anything put in front of me.... :-[)

An ex resident at a residential home I worked at called me Beamer 'cos I apparently beam when I smile.......absolutely nothing to do with BMW's lol
So many people actually think it is my real surname too lol....I may change it officially one day ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Hazel-nut
06-09-12, 05:15 PM
I used to get called Hazel-nut at school a lot so thought I would use it as a forum name :)
Conehead
06-09-12, 08:20 PM
I usually use daddycool on forums (my daughter called me that one day) but there is already one on here so couldnt go for that as well.
I use conehead as the guys at my local decided my head looked like a cone (they were drunk at the time) and it just stuck. ;D ;D ;D

My first name is Kenneth and I have been a proud democratic socialist most of my adult life – a true Red.
After the Labour Party booted him out, Ken Livingston was elected as mayor of London on an independent ticket. Shortly after his victory he betrayed the voters, sold his soul for gold and rejoined the right-wing Labour party.
As I lost all respect for ‘Redken’ and I would never betray my principles at any price, I thought it was fitting that I adopted the number, one. Hence, Redken1
cerruti
06-09-12, 08:33 PM
Cerruti is what i named my main character in World of Warcraft. I named all my toons after fashion/designer labels.
KOPITE......
As most football fans will know it is a term used to describe Liverpool F C fans, (mainly those who stand/ sit on the Spion Kop terrace). Workmates who support other football teams used to say "ask the F£$%ing Kopite" referring to me.
So as a true Liverpool supporter Kopite it is. ;D
Mine comes from when my daughters were little... my full name is Christopher.. Everyone called me Chris.. so my daughters thought it would be fun to use the rest of my name..so they used to call me Topher.. :o :o ;D.. over the years it naturally got shortened to Toph..(pronounced TOFF!)
Now my wife.. parents and most of my friends call me Toph.. it has just stuck.... and I kinda like it!! :) :) :)

Stuntsunlimited are a company in the US, I was going to make my profession a stuntman, but I became a cameraman instead! :o
I rotate through different forum names generally picking one that is related to the forum.
So as a massive Yamaha fan and owning a Yamaha I thought Yammy would be fine :)
Demonbaker
07-09-12, 05:23 AM
To start with i am a baker. The username came about after a ride out to littlehampton with another bike forum. We were sat eating fish and chips when some one asked a question about food (can't remember the question) somebody replied you better ask Richie he's the demonbaker.

My current username (I like to change now and again) comes from two things really. The obvious one is my hair colour which started when I was 16 years old and the second from a close encounter with an Owl on my way home one night from the H&C. It was probably a Barn Owl but I took some creative license as did the pee taking on FB that night I seem to remember ;D I'm sure the bloody thing winked at me as it flew from ground level straight towards me at a closing speed somewhere in 3 figures and rose up at the last minute to miss me by inches whilst carrying something the size of a rat in its talons. :D

Chris, I wouldn't let Archie hear you call him a"thing" ;) :D ;D
Was actuallymy brothers nickname when we played darts about 20years ago. I started using it as a forum name as its short, now it applies to me anyway and my brother passed away in 1999 aged 32 so it's just something silly to add to all the other things that remind me of him everyday.

Mine has a triple origin. My name is George, shortened to Geo. The government has told me that, because I'm a biker I will be dead by the time I'm 30. And it used to be my name when I was a hyper competitive gamer, everyone in my CS:S team took a 3 into their name because we came 3rd at an iseries event which we were bloody proud of.
In places where it doesn't have a logical or ironic meaning I use the name Strangeling which is what one of my best friends calls me. I'm a strangeling and she's an oddity!
My abbreviated first name (Jon) and the initial of my surname (W).
Boring ain't I!
