[d4n13l]

My name is Daniel. I once tried to get an email account using daniel@[domain.com]. But as daniel was already taken by another user, I tried a few more variations, as you do, but they all were taken too. I then did the old hacker thing and used the alpha numeric method for words. Eg. 3 = E, 4 = A, etc. Came up with d4n13l and Roberts your fathers brother. Never had a problem since; d4n13l had never been taken by someone else when I sign up for something new.... except for slashdot.

[pacmania_2001]

Mine came from when I created a fake religion/cult that revolved around the early computer game character Pacman so therefore I called it Pac-Mania but I couldnt get an email address with that so I just chucked the year on the end of it and dropped the hyphen.

[FOTD]

mines from a greatful dead song....friend of the devil...came about one night when i was listening to it while trying to come up with a new nickname for an hour.

[resnullius]

In the french dictionnary Larousse is a section of pages which are expressions (mostly latin) a couple of years ago i was sifting through that section, god knows why (that board in class i think) and read the definition of Resnullius, I liked what it meant and it resembled my state of mind at that point in time so i started using it... in the 12+ years ive been using it i,ve only once seen someone else use it (the person was complaining that i was using it, told him how long i'd been using the nick. he shut up and changed nick.

[baker]

[d4n13l]

Dont know about you guys, but I am waiting for the reasoning behind "shiZZZon"...

[bravo]

I Chose It ???????????????

[energy80s]

Mine comes from the Internet Radio Station I run ... Energy 80s ... at www.energy80s.com

[d4n13l]

I Chose It ???????????????

Spraken ze English?

[videoguy79]

Dont know about you guys, but I am waiting for the reasoning behind "shiZZZon"...

It's probably a throwback to a fad I remember from high school (early-mid-90's). You add an "izzzz" to words that have double vowels in the center. . . so "house" becomes "hizzzzouse" and so forth (I'm not even sure I spelled that correctly ). Hence, Sean=Shizzzon. Maybe the great shiZZZon® would verify that?

[d4n13l]

Hey, thats what I thought, but I just had to ask to be sure.

[mute]

Well, my username is an abbreviation of 'Wintermute' from 'Neuromancer' by William Gibson. So it is not intended as in 'muting the sound'...

[bilbogod]

Well my name comes as a random flash of inspiration. I have others (not on this site) and who knows why this one has stuck. Its sometimes confused with Dildogod, which is kinda embarrasing when you're emailing the latest assignment to your uni lecturers

[TheSeven7hSon]

Take one, wild guess...

Seven

[Kdiddy]

LOL,

My ex roommate, before he got to know me at college, he thought I was very "Siddity". Which is not an "official" word you will find in a dictionary. For those who dont know, it is a term some use to describe people as acting arrogant & pompous. Well to keep a long story short, we got to know each & became roommates about 6 years ago. My name is Kyle, so after he recounted the story so many times of our collge days, he thought it funny to start calling me "K-diddy"....which was cool up until recently when Sean Combs decided to change his hip-hop moniker from "Puffy" to "P-diddy". So everyone assumes Im just doing a copycat thing and is usually not worth to try to explain to them otherwise.

[grouch]

Some say it's because I'm an *******.

Others think I am trying to throw them off the trail and not be bothered.

I dunno, maybe they are both right. But, the real reason is...

When i subscribed to EROL's internet service many years ago they pressured me on the spot for a screen name. I tried "dopey" and "doc" but we all know those were taken by people much smarter than I am.(yeah right) Anyway the cartoon was on for the kids and low and behold "GROUCH" was not taken. It just sort of stuck thru the years and has many many many variations that most are actually me.

Variations:
grouch
grouchy
grouchy1
grouchy-1
grouchyah (grouchy *******)
grouchytim (HI! I'm Tim) (aol instant messager name)
grouchyboy (yahoo name)
grouchyfrigginelf (yahoo name)
grouch_you_up (yahoo name)
grouchthis (yahoo name)
and probably a few i forgot but the base name stays the same.

[menace]

because I am

The MOS Classification in the Army for Field Medics is 91B (say: 91 Bravo)

[Montag63]

Fahrenheit 451. Guy Montag. One of Bradbury's best.

[bilbogod]

Well I don't know about everyone else, but I'm holding out for an explanation of the name "ZZYZZX" My theory is that its hard hitting the right keys when you've only got 1 hand free.

[Dragonsf]

My name:
my daughter's chinese zodiac sign is Dragon.So I'm Dragon's Father=Dragons-f thus dragonsf

[91BRAVO]

Bilbo

[d4n13l]

Fahrenheit 451. Guy Montag. One of Bradbury's best.

Yeah, that is a kick ass film. I saw it on TV the other day.
And I am also waiting for the infamous zzyzzx to make an appearance here. I have seen it used in other forums, I doubt it is the same person though.

[Master_Bater]

I like to choke the chicken...

[themichael]

We used to have a guy where I worked (past tense - restructed) used to pass off others work as his own. Everybody started calling him "the Janssen of Oz". It was shortened to the janssen.

When I started encoding my name on my work he lost his title. My coworker started calling me the wizard until I said "go ahead, look behind the curtain.. ain't nobody there."

They started calling me THEMICHAEL (some where even talking in caps!!)

Now, I'm just average and unemployed. No caps. If that name is taken, I just use my Ham radio callsign.


Mike

[MOVIEGEEK]

I'm a movie fanatic! :o I
think "zzyzzx" comes from the last exit on I15 in CA.(USA)on your way to Las Vegas.

[Greg12]

Someone has the name Greg

my name is Greg so i just hit random numbers


I wish i could change it to "im_greg_p1"

[fish2222]

Well, ever since i was in grade school, people have called me fish since my last name is Fisher. I just added the 2222 to the end cause it was my phone number at the time. Of course, everything you sign up for already has a user named "fish", so I had to do something I could remember....
