what's in your name?

I just wonder what's behind the user name of each one of us....

I got my user name from the movie Transformers, it's Widwicky's ebay's username and it got nothing to do with me in person. Pretty annoying for others I think... sorry but i can no longer change it.

Which reminds me. Anyone have some old cards they want to give away or want a few bucks for?

royal

I've used the royal name since I was on AOL 3.0 with my 2400 baud. I've used it since. No specific reason other than my favorite color back then being Royal Blue.

That's the name I use when royal is taken. No meaning. Was trying to think of a name to use and just used that for I see royal for short.

eMeS

My full name was too long to appear properly on school rolls, and was typically truncated to first initial, middle initial, and last name.

Because of this, I was sometimes known as "MS".

Because "MS" is often to short for a userid in many places, I adopted "eMeS". The "e" is simply the vowel sound produced when pronouncing "M" and "S".

MS

CabbageThe1

Playing Games with my friends one day and pulled off a LUCKY shoot. From down the hall I herd "DANM IT CABBAGE" and the name stuck, I hated it at first but it grew on me.

Come to think of it most the people that know me don't even know my real name, everyone just calls me Cabbage.

The1 is because I'm the only Cabbage!! :P

hugolucky

i dont know, just thought it would be a good name for a serial killer

dynamik

Same as royal, it's from an old aol account. I was probably mid-teens at the time and thought that "a dynamic one" seemed really cool, so I setup adynamik1. Later on, I realized that I'm kind of a computer nerd and really not dynamic at all, so I dropped the prefix and suffix to minimize the damages. The misspelling is intentional. I think it's more aesthetically pleasing and is more balanced overall. However, Mark disagrees and refuses to acknowledge it.

It just kind of stuck. I use it for everything. Here, paypal, online banking, wait... nevermind. I still use adynamik1 when dynamik is taken. Occasionally I've had to use adynamik2, and that's just irritating

ULWiz

My screen Name was also a old AOL Screen name i have used for years. Back in those days there were groups Like UPS Shizza,Mystic etc. Of course I am not part of these groups anymore cause i have learned right from wrong.

So my UL stood for UnderLordz Wizard. Go figure huh. Just kind of stuck since then

undomiel

Well I started off online life with a theme based quake clan. The name from back then was gerbilcannon which was assigned to me before I knew the reference. By the time I knew what it meant too many people knew me by that. Plus I was still somewhat attached to the image of a gerbil carrying a cannon. After I quit the gaming scene I decided I needed a name change. So picked a favourite and slightly obscure name from the Lord of the Rings. This was before being popularized by movie. I've thought of changing it again but I've decided to stick with it for now.

welll, mine came from when I started work for the credit union. I would fix issuses and bam! I was trying to prove myself and my boss would say go and fix this (hoping I would flop!) and BAM! came back victoriously! I would say to my cooworkers "whose your daddy!" jokingly and one emplyee laughed and said "whose your IT Daddy!" and we all laughed our Arsses off and it has stuck ever since. I a month later come to work with a new Wisconsin License plate with (ITDADDY) on it and we laugh every time someone says to me in a gas station "Are you it-daddy?" I say yes it is IT Daddy for Information Technology geek! haaaaah I feel like a super hero because I have decals on my Red chevy Blazer with IT Daddy LLC it is for my on-side IT business and people still walk up to me when they see my truck and ask "Are you IT Daddy?" I say no I am his butler EYEgor! ahahahahahah But yeah this is my story! I only like it when HOT chicks ask me if I am IT Daddy and then I say yes!! got a home computer to fix!!!??? hahahh

Wow, I'm feeling old (and that is so wrong)...

I have absolutely no idea what the hell you guys are talking about.

dynamik

Just exploiting early versions of the AIM chat client.

The realization that AOL is now considered "old school" makes me feel old as well

I also have been using MIRC since it's existence. On Windows 9x, if you were to type /con/con anywhere, you'd automatically blue screen. Was hilarious to see people ask for help and people would tell them to type /con/con and you'd see about 20% of the room get disconnected.

The one I remember is that people would usually respond with use alt-f4. Lots of disappearances then plus a couple of guys who didn't get that it was a shortcut and would come in yelling about being hax0red.

I was into MIDI equipment in the mid-90s when I was a teenager. I saw a keyboard made by a company called MIDIMAN and, while earning money to buy that, I needed an IRC nickname. I never bought the damn keyboard, but the nickname got stuck.

coffeeking

I am a coffee freak, can drink it before I go to bed and do drink it several times during the day, am in love with the whole coffee culture, my wallpaper is a coffee mug, and that is what my username is based on. Proud to be a coffee drinker.

Tyrant1919

The earliest version of AOL I remember using was AOL 4.0. But I too picked my name to use as a screenname. I actually got TyranT from Star Wars. TyranT was my favorite Star Destroyer from SWCCG. Which used to be the #2 CCG behind Magic of course. Of course it was taken, so AOL recommended a 1919 at the end and, viola, Tyrant1919. Try googling people's usernames, you'd be surprised sometimes.

All I ever did with those AOL floppies I used to get was use them as freebies.
