Meaning behind your name

[zandiago]

Good day biys and girls...Just a random question...what's behind your screen name? By that I mean, why did you choose your screen name? Personally, I just put some letters together, cause i wanted to join the forum in such a rush i didn't think of a senseable screen name....would love to your story!

[twomers]

twomers is a play on my surname (or second name if that's what ye say).

>> would love to your story!
Me too.

[scru]

Nickname me brother's friends gave to me because they think I'm grumpy. It has stuck with me ever since.

[twomers]

Grumpy as in Scrooge?

[spyrilautte]

Spyrilautte is a crazy spelling I came up with a while ago that's supposed to represent the phrase "Spiral out."

I agree- it's kind of fun to hear the significance of everyone's names.

[Jx_Man]

jx_man -> composite of my first name n last name.
actually my first name is jerry and my last name Man.... (sensored). so i mix my name J_Man, but i still felt that something less in my nick name then i added x and became Jx_Man. :)

[Sturm]

Sturm is a character from my favorite series, Dragon Lance. It's ironic because I hate Sturm in the story with a passion, with Raistlin instead receiving my pick of favorite character. Though I like Raistlin better, I like the name "Sturm" more.

[cscgal]

I got my first car as a birthday gift / HS graduation gift when I turned 17 and very soon after started a B.S. in Computer Science. At my university, all majors had three letter abbreviations, so Comp Sci was abbreviated CSC. Since I was one of only three CSC girls in my freshman class, I decided to get the vanity plate CSCGAL for my new car.

About a year later I started TechTalkForums.com and went by the internet name TechTalkGal. A year after that, I rebranded TechTalkForums as DaniWeb, and TechTalkGal no longer made sense. Therefore, due to lack of creativity, I just decided to use the alias that I had previously named my car two years earlier.

I decided to get the vanity plate CSCGAL for my new car.

I would so cringe, if someone did that. It's so lame.

How did I come up with my name? Typo I guess.

[Ancient Dragon]

Ancient Dragon comes from the Dungeons & Dragons role playing game that I started playing some 10-15 years (or more) ago. I still like to play Diablo LOD computer game.

[jonifen]

jonifen is how my real name is said by people (because of their accents) where I live... in particular my fiancée :)

[jbennet]

cool, daniweb still retained the tech talk branding a little for a while though? im pretty sure that when i joined, they were being used interchangibly (back in the day of the pink colour scheme;) )

im jbennet because thats my real nme (lol, lack of imagination) but i used to be called proliant_fan as the reason i joined daniweb was to get help with a compaq proliant server , but then when that got binned, i got my name changed to jbennet

[Ancient Dragon]

>>but then when that got binned
Is binned a new slang term for drumk or intoxicated ? I know you blokes can do a lot of heavy drinking because I've seen it with my own eyes :)

[nav33n]

Since 'naveen' was already taken and nav33n wasn't, I decided to 'take' it ! Btw, Naveen is my name.

[jbennet]

>>but then when that got binned Is binned a new slang term for drumk or intoxicated ? I know you blokes can do a lot of heavy drinking because I've seen it with my own eyes :)

lol no (i was like 14 at the time ;) ) i meant that my parents made me bin it (take it to landifill site) because it was too bulky :(

lots of drinking fun soon though, im 18 in like 10 days w00t

[EnderX]

Name picked for another site; I've generally used it on most of those I sign up for. I keep it because I like the 'indirect' connotation it picked up somewhere along the way.

[bobbyraw]

Mine is a combination of the nick name for my first name then the initial for my real names. been using this for decades for every thing, everywhere

[Ezzaral]

Mine is just an RPG character screen name I've used many times over the course of several years.
And no, I'm not Jewish nor do I play one on TV. (Evidently some think it's a Jewish name)

[jbennet]

it sounds jewish

[EnderX]

Pseudo-jewish to my ears; it's a bit like the name 'Ezra', of historical importance to pre-christian judaism, and it has the same kind of multi-sound ring as some of the jewish prophets, but I don't think the name itself is actually jewish. I'm willing to be corrected on that, though.
