Why did you choose your username?

[Barbarossa]

Following on from the avatar threads, it might be interesting to find out why people chose their usernames.

Mine came from the "Prelude to Dune" novels, by Brian Herbert/Kevin J. Anderson.


We know Chewie chose his because he is excessively hairy :earl:

I'm pretty sure MagicNakor got his from Raymond E. Feist's "Riftwar" saga.


Does a person's username affect your perception of them?

[Mr. Mulder]

Because I am in actual fact the real David Duchovny :dabs:

[JPaul]

It's short for Jean Paul.

Long story short - A mate of mine worked in a bank. A client came in to re-arrange his loan payments from £1 a week to 50p. At the same time he gave the bank official notification that he was changing his name from something like Bob Smith to Jean Paul Lafayette. I loved the juxtaposition.

I just shortened it to JPaul coz I thought it looked cooler.

[Cheese]

Withcheese/Cheese: My nickname in real life is Cheese. I added the 'With' bit because of a joke with my earl friends about an old coat that I had that made me look like Withnail. I changed it back to Cheese because it's quicker to type.

Mike Nelson: I like MST3k

Jordan (aka Katie Price): I recall a load of people took on the usernames of "celebrities" and pretended to be them ages ago.

Fake Shemp: Evil Dead reference.

MCHeshpants420: Sealab 2021 reference.

googlebot: I pretended to be a Google bot for a while, not sure what that was all about.

The King of Nigeria: I pretended to be the King of Nigeria for a while, not sure what that was all about.

Neocheese: It's what my name would be if I didn't think that the Matrix sucked.

[Tempestv]

I already said it in the aviator thread, but the Tempest V is one of my favorite aircraft. I chose it when I was trying to create a yahoo address and think of something different that was not already taken. I ended up with Tempest_v2005 (my HS graduation year). For a lanparty gaming name I shortened it to TempestV, then I started using it for all my user names.

[Barbarossa]

googlebot: I pretended to be a Google bot for a while, not sure what that was all about.

:glag: after all this time, I never knew that was you.

[Cheese]

Here's an actual email googlebot received from, funnily enough, neotheone:


hey now goggle tell me honestly without that gay 3rd person talk who r u cause i knoe the ceo of google and what ur doin id copywrigt infrigmnt ur stealin googles name for ur own purpose

so if u tell me who u really r ill cut u sum slack

Did you tell him.

[Guillaume]

I chose mine cause it's my forename.


Or just to further the whole "pretending to be french" thing, who knows?

[JPaul]

I should probably tell you the others as well - as per cheese.

Mr JP Fugley - Pretty obvious really, both Fugley and I used the account. There's another person with access to it. So strictly speaking he / she was on moderation but still posting using another account. Obviously I cant name names for fear of consequences. I made the avatar myself to represent both sides of the human psyche.

Agrajag - A reference to Douglas Adams. Arthur Dent kills another being in each of his re-incarnations. His final incarnation is Agrajag. The avatar is Hal from Malcolm In The Middle.

[DorisInsinuate]

There was a guy at school we used to call Cheese all the time, because he had hair aids (sometimes called gingerism).

It eventually got to the stage where noone remembered what his real name was, and the teachers started calling him Cheese too :ermm:

I refered to him as Cheese to both his mum and his landlady, and neither really batted an eyelid. I did get a sense of bewilderment from the landlady's daughter when I asked to speak to Cheese on the telephone.

Agreed, fantastic movie.

[manker]

I have a sparkling repertoire of put-downs and cutting remarks at my disposal, this prompted me to formulate a username that the cerebrally disadvantaged could change to an insult with the minimum of cranial exertion.

After they've finished crying because of whatever I've said, they can post something like 'fuck u wanker lol'. You see, I've allowed them a little simplistic sunshine in their gordian existence.

Yeah, I'm that nice.



Don't worry if you think this revalation will lessen the pleasure they get from my benevolence - I've purposely peppered this post with plush prose, they'll get confused and give up before the end of the first sentence :)

I thought it was an anagram of his name : Ken Ram.

[MagicNakor]

...I'm pretty sure MagicNakor got his from Raymond E. Feist's "Riftwar" saga....

Kind of. It actually arose from a conversation with my friend on Nakor's stance that there is no magic, only tricks, and what type of shop he would run.

Sadly, it was a three hour conversation.


:shuriken:

PS- When the :shuriken: guy was added, there was a bit of silliness with that set of smilies. I asked if I could be him, and no one objected. ;)
