Screen names

[Ferral]

Theres quite alot of us on here that have chosen to use screen names instead of actually using our real names, just wondering how everyone came to picking what they did ?

Me personally, I love the big cats. Lions, Tigers (and bears oh my !) etc hence why I picked my name as the term ferral cats pops up alot and not forgetting my love for wildlife hence why I ventured to Kenya last year persuing my lifelong dream.

Where did everyone elses screen names come from ?

[Nick F]

I picked Famished about 6 years ago because I always seemed to be hungry. Seem to be the only one on the net with the name which is good.

[Dorza]

Its my nick name. Well it was when i joined hexus. Simple as that really

[Angel_1701]

Angel was my nickname from when i was in school and it's just stuck with me and the 1701 cos i'm a big star trek fan

[Knoxville]

Was watching Jackass on mtv when I signed up, could've used my nickname I suppose but it hadn't caught on in such a big way back then.

[Daymonkey]

^^Knoxxy same for me, night monkey came on and i wanted that, but then i though no, so i thought i tell you what Daymonkey and so thats it. Ive also been called "monkey" at school since when i like 7(due to my over impressive goalkeeping skills )

[Hans Voralberg]

Anyone play Siberia will know where my screenname comes from

[unrealrocks]

UnrealRocks just comes from my addiction to UnrealTournament. Before that I used CyberneticTiger which came from some name generator.

[Swafe]

Its a long story.

[Tarffie]

surname + ie

Had the nickname for years.

[luap.h]

my name, but backwards and a .h to make it more that 4 characters that most places require

[Knoxville]

Its a long story.

The fact that we're all sat here browsing an internet forum at nearly 1am proves we've got nothing else to do but listen

[turkster]

Mine was kind of my nickname when I signed up and it does the job while still being pronouncable .

[Riley]

The name of my cat.

[Norky]

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

[Spud1]

really can;t remember how i got this name, first time i used it was playing Descent all those years ago, then into TFC, and eventually cs etc. So mine comes from games i guess, logical to use the same alias on forums etc as in games. Other that Spud1 i'm also known as Spud211 - that one just came about cos Spud1 was taken when i signed up for 'the wave' forums.

As a side note it would be interesting to see if any hexites have ever heard of 'the wave', and its following spin off forums (after the freegamez4all section was shut down) - the 'Xenoasis' and 'Center Neptune'
