How did you choose...

[Ext1jdh]

...your name?

Example, I'm Ext1jdh. I got that from an old job, it was my login. Ext for EXTernal, JDH for my initials, and 1 cause there was only one EXT#JDH combination.

yeah, boring. But its unique enough that I can use it durn near anywhere without having to use something like Joe383275759839385.

[D_Klein]

Klein. Dennis Klein.

[Rockhead]

Well I smoke allot of crack and lick it too.

[Macn900ss]

Last name is MacMillan. In the Air Force everyone called me Mac.

macn900ss= Mac and 900ss

same for Macnrx8 and Macnmx6 (my two cars)

Never had a problem with using any of these names.

...or I guess you could say that the vehicles are "Mackin"...

[HAMMERPETE]

HAMMERPETE....Ride a Hammer and First name is Pete....man that was tough.

[stp1971]

Re-post. But I will answer it. My daddy was like Ricky Bobby from Talladega nights and he used to be a bad boy in high school. He used to drag race and gamble and all.

Then one day he was watching the Stock Car races and he saw good ol Richard Petty racing and the gleam from his car screaming by made him look away because it was so bright. When he turned away he saw this angel of a woman standing there and he just knew he had to have that woman for his wife.

So a few years later he married my mom and when I was born they named me after Richard Petty and in the best year ever he was racing.... 1971~!!!!!!!











Actually my mom liked Sean Connery. My mom named me after him, the middle name sounded good to them,, and the P is the first initial of my last name. Hence my initials are STP. I was born in 1971.







GO RICHARD anyways!!!!!

[Kaikias]

Kaikias: =

The personification of the North-East Wind.

There are two types of winds:

The divinely created winds, i.e. Boreas (North Wind), Notos (South Wind), Zephyros (West Wind) and the Etesian winds, and
The ill-favored winds that were created by the monster, Typhoeus, when Zeus imprisoned him under the earth.
The divinely created winds nourish and bless the earth but the winds of Typhoeus are wild and destructive; Kaikias is one of the winds of Typhoeus.

[4W4K3]

4W4K3 = AWAKE

When I'm posting on forums, I'm obviously awake...and therefore that will always be my status. I like the sound of the word as well, so it stuck with me.

[TechJD]

easy I'm a electronics tech hence Tech and initials JD

[vhmike73]

vhmike73=

Van Halen Mike (73 was my football number). A long time a go, I was riding shotgun with a good friend of mine and this guy he was pals with. Joe had set the station to some crap that this guy Dave in the back seat was liking, however I couldn't stand it (this was mid-nineties "pop", so you can understand my pain! ), so I punched the next preset and Van Halen's "Dance The Night Away" was playing- wherein I turned it up loud. After the song, Dave pipes up from the backseat, rather derisively, "Look, it's Van Halen Mike. Who put him in charge of the radio?"...I answered "I put me in charge, and I happen to LIKE Van Halen, so deal with it!".

When the time came to be "creative" and think up an "internet name", that struck me, and I've been using it for ages now.

Scintillating tale, no?

[Photic]

Dictionary.

It's also a slight play on words, my first name means enlightened in some cultures and Photic is of/or pertaining to light.

[maddog20/20]

Maddog was my nickname in the Air Force (Last name is maddock) 20/20 was my fathers call sign when he was a FB-111 navagator while he served in the Air Force. So I figured I would combine the two and found that most people wonder if I drink alot. Oh well, I know what it means.

[droopy170]

Droopy= Air Force call sign, 170 emt number.

Droopy

[Scribbles]

I have been Scribbles for years. I used to own an ISP, and a web hosting company. I also did a little design consulting on the side. I own the domain netscribbles.com, and have been using it for many years.

[JES883]

My initials plus the displacement of my first bike. And I'm registered other places with the same name. Makes my life easier.

[geoffsimpson]

Geoff...it's my first name...and wait for it...Simpson....i know, i know...it's my last name.

I'm just not creative...good thing I'm pretty

[Trapper]

I always like this thread.

I manage a Texas style restaurant in which all the employees a required to pick a Texas call name and go by that name at all times at work. My call name is Trapper.

[Lancer]

The name "Lancer" has special meaning to me.

I've spent much of my adult life--nearly 15 years--researching and studying the men and exploits of the 6th Pennsylvania Cavalry of the Civil War. In 1861, this regiment was armed with lances--nine-foot-long wooden poles with a very sharp tip on one end and a counterweight on the other. The regiment was commanded by a man named Col. Richard Rush, and the unit became known as Rush's Lancers. I am the historian of this unit, and have just finished writing a history of the regiment that will be published this fall.

The name I use comes from the name of this superb regiment of Civil War cavalry and is a tribute to the men who followed its guidon into battle.
