Why did you choose your username?

[abigirldaisies]

i think you should have that legally changed.

i love the name abigail btw. when my wife and i were having our first kid my favorite girl choices were abigail, veronica, and carmen. but since we went with my boy pick (he was a boy!), my wife gets to name the next kid, and she wasn't a fan of any of those...

Easy, just have three kids - you'll get to name the one after the next one!

Or failing that, get a pet and call it Abigail.

The number of people who, when I first meet them, announce "my gran/auntie/daughter-in-law has a cat/goat/cocker spaniel called Abigail.

Great.

 

[cheesybanana]

I don't know...

 

[Beatles4Life]

Mine is pretty obvious, although I think I used a "4" instead of "For" because it was too many characters.

 

[eric]

I don't know...

all i could hear in my head when i read that was homer simpson.


oh, and Abigail, i promise, i will never name a goat after you.

 

[iSebastianGrey]

I'm not sure why, but Raffi's 'Banana Phone' springs immediately to mind when I read 'cheesybanana'. And now, it'll be in my head for days.

That's fine, just don't let what happened in the flash cartoon happen to you.

 

[mac57]

OK, really, really dating myself here: mine is the initials of my full name plus my birthyear!

OK, lets format this up so that mathogre can understand it in his native language:

First some variables:

Initials = mac
Birthyear = 57

Now the "math" part:

userid = Initials + Birthyear

Now lets "solve" the equation by replacing the variables with their absolute values. Doing this, we see:

mac57 = mac + 57

Q.E.D. !!

OK, pretty hokey (and bad math too!), but I couldn't resist! When the inspiration strikes, ya gotta go wit it!! :dive:

Actually, when I joined a MAC forum, I was amazed that MAC57 wasn't taken already. Pleased though, since I use this as my userid in most places.

 

[iKitten]

Hey, sweet! Like this thread.

Chose this username instead of "MacKitten" because the latter sounded a little too fast-food-ish!

Yes, I'd like a McKitten sandwich to go please.

Watch out, mathogre! The animal rights folks'll be all over you ~ lol

 

[MaDDoG]

Being a Mac surname, I couldn't have iMac cause someone else took it. At work as a Policeman I used to be called Macca or The General until one night we were called to break up a fight in a strip club. I sort of did the whole thing singlehanded while the other guys made sure the girls were ok. The way I went about it was no nonsense not taking any crud tonight and as they watched one of them remarked I was like a mad dog attacking and throwing/ chasing them out of the place. So it stuck......I guess I could have made it iMaDDoG or iMad for short.

 

[Cassifire]

Cassie is short for Cassandra.

 

[GulfVetSAF]

I think mine is self-explanatory but... Gulf Veteran, and SAF are my initials.

Retired USMC

 

[skye]

meh. i like the name skye and back in my neopet days i wanted a unique number so i chose 2341 but then i forgot my password so i made a new username with the number 23412 and it just stuck

 

[cad2blender]

I was trying to export some 3D models from AutoCad to Blender, so I got in the forums, and found how to do it. The rest as they say is history...

Yea, so what if I used an old cliche... sue me.

I just like to offer my respect.

 

[MinaMACMan]

Interesting reading through the thread, its cool to know all the stories leading to username.

Well, for me my original username of choice is usually Minabud, story behind that is, uhm its corney but here goes. On the plan coming to the US for the first time ever I was drinking Budwiser and there you go corney rite lol

And the MinaMacMan, well thats simple, Mina is my first name, and I threw in the Mac in the mix since am new to the Mac world, plus MMM is actually my initials.

Cheers!

 

[OSURico112]

OSU cause I go to Ohio State, Rico is what some of my friends call me, real name is Eric, and 112 is just a number that always seems to pop up to me.

 

[giulio]

Easy... it's my real name =)
It's also my grandfather's name. Same name as Jules (French), Julius (Roman), etc. At first I thought my name was weird and rare. But then I did research and found so many important people throughout history with the same name. Kinda cool.

 

[alucard]

alucard is dracula spelled backwards.

about 13 years ago an old co worker of mine was watching an old Dracula movie where some pilots were shipping a coffin. The coffin was labled Alucard but when the pilot looked at it in a mirror he noticed it said Dracula. When he told me that i started using the name.
