dla442 · Mar 19, 2014

Dla442. Initials and used to own several 70-72 442's. Miss them dam things...lol

Decado · Mar 19, 2014

Character from a David Gemmell book... it's been an online handle of mine for a long time.

willbill92 · Mar 19, 2014

Willbill92 Is my name in two ways and my birth year. LOL I am not very creative.

smt 59 · Mar 19, 2014

My initials and year I was born, a snap decision when I joined the Nation, thought of changing it but then I would be like Prince.

Kelly@PCMofNC · Mar 20, 2014

Mine is really complicated.

My name is Kelly and I work at PCMofNC.

:wink:

trailboycer72 · Mar 26, 2014

My GMT, a twist on my last name and the year I hatched.

chatterx · Mar 27, 2014

Chatterx..... When I first started using the new fangled internet technology back in 1997 I was huge into chat rooms hence the chatter part. At the time I was in my late teens... cocky as hell.... and much more immature. I figured I could pretend to be anyone on the net so I chose the x part. It kinda just stuck with me over the years and is not hardly duped at all.

DonnyDrywall · Mar 31, 2014

My real name is Matt. Donny Drywall is the name of a fake anchor man played by one of my favorite musicians in his video. I just like how it sounds.

Wax and EOM: "Relax" - YouTube <---- Here's the music video.

Funny, I figured your name was Donny, and you worked in drywall and drywall accessories. :wink:

I know, right? I use the same name on twitter and at least 7 drywall companys follow me on there. :rotfl:

{tpc} · Mar 31, 2014

Mine has to do with an online game I was playing a the time and what I was watching on tv. I was watching the TPC golf championship on tv. The game I was playing at the time ranked anyone with a username with {} in it higher on a persons friends list than regular names which became alphabetical after that. I suck at character names or coming up with user names, thus {tpc} was born. It only made sense for my forum name for that game to be the same as my account name.

Like I said, I suck thinking up names, so I use this one in most places. Name is Tony, btw.

Welcome to the crew Tony.

Welcome to the club

Robbabob · Apr 5, 2014

My shortened name from Robert is Robb, yes, with 2 b's. When I moved to WI, the friends I made started calling me Robbb b b b b b b bb, , , it eventually morphed into Robbabob. though I don't live there any longer, I keep it close at heart.

Fen65 · Apr 5, 2014

I'm FenwickHockey65 on every other site. Most people know me as Fen.

Apparently that's one character too long for here.

billzie · Apr 14, 2014

Billzie: A nickname some in a group of friends called me "back in the day", better than some of the other things I've been called LOL. I've used this username on every hobby forum I've ever belonged to. But I always end my posts with Bill what I prefer to be called.

SaabScott · Apr 29, 2014

Mine also falls under the category of "really easy to explain" ...

I've been into Saabs since 2004 and using this user name everywhere since. This is my 7th (pure coincidence that it is also a 9-7X :biggrin:

).
I've been the President of The Saab Club of Canada since 2005, super moderator over at Saab Central.

RayGumm · Apr 29, 2014

It ISN'T my name....

Or IS it???

It is.

D3vious · May 10, 2014

Mine was issued by a group of friends after a traffic stop, 99 in a 65 zone.
When I saw a rest area very close to where the officer pulled me over, I poured a big gulp into my lap.
I said to the cop "I tried to make it!!!"
He looked down, closed his ticket book, and said "you're having a shitty enough day"

Junfan · May 17, 2014

Junfan was Bruce Lee's given name. I have studied JKD, Kali, Escrima and Muay Thai in the Inosanto program since the late 90s on and off. Anymore, I do more BJJ than anything. I started using this name in MMOs starting with Ultima Online.

Cloudy79 · Jun 12, 2014

My username came from another forum for e-cigs as well as the year I was born.

Rogue92 · Jun 12, 2014

Rogue comes from what I've been labeled in the past due to my political beliefs not jiving well with the majority of my classmates in high school and now in college. Instead of seeing it as an insult, I wear it as a badge now :wink:

The '92? Year I was born, since TV, other sites, and GMT won't let me use just plain "Rogue".

Capote · Jul 15, 2014

Nothing special, just my last name. Just used to hearing it instead of my first name, being in the Army and all

combatspace · Aug 11, 2014

It's been my username on various forums for years now. It started off as my Xbox live handle, and it just kinda stuck...8 years later.

Mounce · Aug 11, 2014

Mine is simply my last name. :yes:

Mike w · Aug 11, 2014

Its my name.

skamphax0r · Aug 13, 2014

Mine started out in a prodigy chatroom - and i just never changed it. skamp is a demon type thing in Elder scrolls oblivion. and hax0r is kiddie speak :tongue:

BC backroader · Sep 8, 2014

Mine's easy - where I am, and what I do for fun.

AManders6 · Sep 14, 2014

Simple enough: "A" first letter of my first name, "Manders" my last name, and "6" my favorite number

ahhyeah · Dec 21, 2014

A friend quoted a line from a movie once, "Ahhyeah, how do you like me now?" and so we started saying Ahhyeah all the time. I ended up adding it to my license plate and then my username for pretty much everything.

danj · Dec 22, 2014

I want to see if anyone can guess mine..... It's a tough one :rotfl:

BlazingTrails · Dec 22, 2014

I think mine is a pretty obvious play on words :yes:

monothome · Aug 17, 2015

I needed a login for an e-mail account when I was traveling for work; Nickname = Moe; so monothome

Mooseman · Aug 18, 2015

Damn, I was sure I posted in here when I first joined. Better late than never.

Back when I first started in computers in the late 90's, I joined a profession specific email discussion group (basically, a forum that worked by using emails), I became friends with an Australian. Thinking that Canadians have moose in every back yard, he started calling me Mooseman. He even drew my avatar.

I should have called him Kangarooman but he already had a nickname.

DAlastDON · Aug 18, 2015

My all time favorite song. Been using DAlastDON online since the 90's for damn near everything. Started useing it as a gamer tag for duke nukem, doom, quake, tribes, etc. Before game consoles connected to the internet and cell phones were carried around in bags.

Boricua SS · Aug 19, 2015

Ha.. I have,all of no limit cd's... great memories for sure.

Ziggy · Jan 12, 2016

I'm on several different vehicle specific, and interest specific forums, and got sick of trying to come up with a unique identifier (and trying to remember them all!) for each one. I wanted something easy to remember, and easy enough to find an avatar for. Besides, who doesn't love Ziggy?

Reprise · Jan 12, 2016

Mine comes from another forum I used to frequent before this one - I used to play bass when I was younger, then went to focus on my day job for 20 years. 3 years ago, I picked up the instrument again - thus, 'Reprise'.

Being a bass player is the reason I've owned 3 Exploders and now an Envoy - you need a big vehicle to carry those big bass cabinets in :2thumbsup:

We call the 8x10s 'refrigerators'

Our older readers may remember that Sinatra named his record company Reprise - and that was a reference from when he had his career restarted as well. Just a hobby with me, though.
