Screen names

[Swafe]

kez = kezzer

There we go, just because I cant type dont take it out of me

[JK Ferret]

i don't wana take the micky, but nutland for a surname is hilarious

the number of times people have said that...
still, not as bad as living in alldicks road. (no, honestly!)
and i heard of some guy called sam nutter...

[Stigggeh]

Mine originally came from BBC1 - top gear, the Stig

just eventually ended up as Stigggeh, don’t ask why, it just somehow did

[subucni]

I'm sure i've answered this in another thread before, mine just comes from years ago when i original needed to think up an email address and didnt want to actually use my real name, Incubus were my favourite band at the time and my poster on my wall was right in my field of view so i just used Subucni, Incubus in reverse.
But usually i'll sign on any posts with Bres. On the grounds that it's just my surname shortened and i've been called it since primary school.

[myth]

Well, I simply like the name myth... Its short and simple, and I'm a bit mysterious in nature... Also I dont just use that name here on hexus and other forums... I use it as an alis... What can I say, I like to be mythy!

myth and mysterious have two completely different meanings though

[Tumble]

I think he's trying to say that myths have mysterious connotations.....


anyhoo.. I got my name cos it was snowing, and I couldn't be arsed riding my scoot down to Castletown with a box of toner, so i borrowed a collegues company car, and tried mating it with a hedge, rolling it down the the road instead... (about 20 days after I passed my test too)

Then a bloke at work who thought he was funny made a poem about it and stuck it on the notice board in the kitchen.... and Timothy Tumble exploded into existence

[roacheford]

I wish I new where mine came from, or what drug was responsible

nick name

[Lee H]

Mine is a long story. Basically I was called monkey due to my monobrow and simian characteristics at school and college due to my extreme treeclimbing ability to get footballs down etc when somebody always puts it in the tree.

One night we all went to the pub, got drunk and ended up in a cheap flavoured vodka bar / club. Suffice to say, I got drunk and was dancing like a looney and they said I looked like a monkey gone wild. It took the power of 6 drunken minds 40 mins after that to come up with wildmonkey and I've simply added my country code to the end as a signal to where I am from.

You could have been a REAL wiseass and put 44 instead of UK

Now I could have, but I would then have sounded like a car smart would bring out

cue advert style voice-over...

Its the Smart "wildmonkey" 44

Hmmm rolls of the tongue easier than you roll cars me laddy

[Honoop]

Honoop because Im a Honey Nut Loop ........apparently!

Nickname given to me by a friend, who obviously knows me far too well!

[Dooms]

Right... start at the beginning...

about 8 years ago i got my 1st pc!! woo!! and it had internet! so i proceeded to get an e-mail account and it asked me for a username... now i didnt have a clue but Doombuggy's were on the TV so i became Doombuggy (give me a break i was 11) i then proceeded to sign up EVERYTHING i possible could as you do... Then when i eventualy wanted to sign up to something i had already signed up to it about a year before and of course couldnt remember my passwords so changed to Doombuggie.

Couple of years later it just changed into Doomie while playing CS and then couple years later it changed again into Dooms - and now here i am

[bsodmike]

Lot of people (in real life) like to pronounce my screename as 'B Sod Mike' which isn't the case (stop it that's annoying )...

It's actually bsod (blue screen of death) mike, as windows computers seemed to crash as I approached them. Named my personal blog/site with the same nick and that's it.

[JK Ferret]

made out of letters from my full name: KyLE DAvid NUtland

Klarrix's idea

Seeing as how i changed my name...
Not too hard to figure out...
unless you're mentally retarded

[ajbrun]

I'm sure we've done this thread before...

I'm Mr Boring. It was my old school username. I used to use "firstname.lastname", so I suppose things have improved since then. I only changed because the one I wanted was always used. This is how it went:

1st letter of 1st name - Adrian
1st letter of 2nd name - Joseph (i know - i don't like it either )
1st 4 letters of last name - Brunton
Equals ajbrun - that's me .
