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.

[Dani]

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.

[jonc]

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.

[Ezzaral]

Usually the characters are necromancers or warlocks, so kind of an "archaic evil" kind of thing.

[vegaseat]

vegas-eat:
I go to Las Vegas a lot to eat, drink and gamble. Gambling costs money, drinks and food are mostly free!

[Impi]

Impi:Meaning...
Basically I wanted a name that wasnt used much and I wanted it to be african, I heard my friend talking about "impies" and asked he what are they and he told me.

[uniquestar]

Uniquestar,
I use this name all over the place now, If you see uniquestar on a forum, then its generally me.

I first used the name when joining DaniWeb, and I was looking for some help with my VB coursework. I thought about vbguy, or helpvb or something along those lines, but then decided I wanted something that I could use all over the place.

At the time I was working on an RM thin client with the USB slots on the side of the monitor. When choosing my name I looked up and saw my 512MB USB Stick in the side of the screen which had the name "Uniquestar" on it. I liked it and it stuck.

[Nick Evan]

My first name actually is Niek, but I'm in a band with another Niek, so my name changed to Niek_E to avoid confusion and thats's how I've been called eversince :P

[scudzilla]

scud... I stole this from my brother a long time ago :P

Whenever I play Counterstrike, I use scud... then in one of the maps in CS (forgot the name), there was an easter egg space with many names written on it. One caught my attention: 'mikezilla' and I just transformed my name into what it is now. ;)

[Lardmeister]

I am "meistering" (master) my lard, which means I keep my weight down. The most important thing to do after New year.

[maravich12]

It's a name of a baasketball player.I put 12 after his name.

[GrimJack]

I named myself after my favorite [s]Comic book[/s] <<okay, darn it - how do I do that strikethrough thingy??>> graphic novel from the 80s. GrimJack was one of the coldest/coolest characters ever!! I think there were about 90 comics in the series - which was just re-released and 6 new comics issued after almost 20 years of copywrite battles. I use it whereever I can so if you see a GrimJack or (as a last resort) GrmJck, it is probably me.

I can't remember where I got the Avatar but I love it (every once in a while one of the eyes will gleam).

[Dave Sinkula]

Mine is just some letters that rolled out of a random string generator.
