The Explain your Forum Name here...thread.

[skw]

I've done some edit:

Umm... my forum name? Because my real name is John.

Ok, be serious. The word "skurwy" is a neologism somewhat. In Polish "skurwiel" / "skurwysyn" means something like a vulgaric "creep" or just a "son of a bitch". I like that unchoosy humour (you know of what I'm talking about...) and this nick is just for fun.

[stu]

My name is Stuart.

[mlsq42]

mls are my intials.

q is from Star Trek.

42 is the answer.

The combo came from my first ever time on the net, when I set up a hotmail account. I wanted q42@, but that was taken. When that happens, Hotmail suggests alternatives, most involving your real name.

But then it mixes your real name and what you wanted. And mlsq42@ was one of the choices, and it just clicked. I've used it ever since.

[=The=Brat=]

when i was 7  i begged my brother to make me a hotmail. Eventually he did but he called me Thebrat499@hotmail.com after that the name just stuck

[Jade]

[BernieLaraemie]

It's my real name which I changed to from the crap one my parents gave me.

I picked Bernard after Bernie Taupin, Nigel after a few people (Nigel Bennett, Nigel Olsson--really, I just like the sound of Nigel) and Lara(e)mie from Laramie, Wyoming where Matthew Sheppard was killed and they set up the Laramie Project.

So, from that we get Bernard Nigel Laraemie, or Bernie Laraemie, for short.

~~Bernie

[yourhumblecartoonist]

In "Clockwork Orange" Alex refers to himself as "your humble narrator" so when I did my profile page on my first webcomic I called myself "your humble cartoonist."  Then I made it my dA name and soon it became my forum handle.

[nihilyst]

Don't really know how I came to it. Don't bother either.

[S42 Man]

Me and my friend would always ride the bus home from school.  If he got sick of me talking he would start repeating the word "Slosh," a word from a play that I directed in school.  I would counteract with "42" from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. 

Later on....

I was trying to think of a cool design name to create games.  So I took the s from slosh and added 42.  Thus S 42 studios was born.  And seeing as I am the only person in it right now, i call myself S42man.

[AlbinoPanther]

It is a personal so we don't want to share it with the whole world.



Now you will dream our forum name and you will ask yourself what that mean.But you will never know never ever bbbbbbbuuuuuuuuuuuuuaaaaaahhhhaaaaaaaaaa :

[Corey]

The Corey is the name of the leadsing of 2 bands, one called Slipknot, one called Stone sour 

[IM NOT TEH SPAM]

My brothers and I used to play the game "Worms 2," and the most powerful weapon you could possibly get was the concrete donkey, where it would make loud braying noises and utterly annihilate the worms around it and destroy the ground beneath it.  One day I called it the "Nipper Strike" for some reason (can't remember why) and used the name Donk_E_Rounda (nipper was supposed to be his pet) for alot of things account names after that.  Eventually I started to just use Lord_Nipper, which became King_Nipper after a password mishap.

[TheRealSqualman]

Because my old screeny Squalman had a password in which i cannot remember for the life of me (ill remember someday ill say) and because ive made a few others i think (which ive forgotten) at random "comebacks" i figured i would clear it up. This is TheRealSqualman. And no other. Of course this name requires previously knowing or hearing of me i guess ><.

[Tuomas]

This is easy, and you'll never guess why it is as it is... that's right, I didn't feel productive as I signed in. Thus I went off with my name... actually the second name, but as it's my calling name.. Tuomas... from Finland... Yipee. Well, there you have it!

[Akumayo]

Once upon a time there was a very stupid gameboy game called...dare I say it.... Pokemon!!!!  BUM BUM BUM!!!

I played it once...only once...and then it burned...

What this has to do with my name...you will soon learn.
You see, your character must have a name..So I went in a pattern, starting with the letter "A", I went down one, right one, and came to "K".  I continued this pattern to the bottom of the screen, and then went back up.  The name appeared:
AKUYQLE
Now for the evolution of AKUMYQLE
AKUYQLE (Pokemon)
AKUMULE (Old Runescape)
AKUMAYA (New Runescape)
AKUMAYO (AGS)

There you have it...

[voh]

Voh is short for vohaul. For those who still don't know - get educated!

[Domino]

I started out as BuffaloGamer when i first joined the forums, then i switched to Dark of Night and i kept that name for over a year, but it made me sound like i was a Goth or somebody who worshipped the night time.  That really didn't describe me at all.

So last night, i was thinking of changing my forum name, and it suddenly hit me. I love Genesis, I love Invisible Touch, and one of my favorite songs on that album is DOMINO.  So i changed it.  It is a great song, but even better live. So hopefully this will remain my forum name for the rest of my days here.

I saw Genesis live back in 1992 in Syracuse, and DOMINO was one of the best songs played. I still get goosebumps listening to it.

Take care all,

Shawn

[Nikolas]

My real name is Nikolas Sideris. Just that! No time to think of a great, clever forum name. It's all about communication...

[Mugs]

Well for me it's kind of a long story.

It all started when I was born. I was completely bald, so they gave me Magoo as a nickname (bassed on the bald character Mr.Magoo). Right now it doesn't make any sense since my forum name is Mugs, but the pieces will go together soon. When I was about 11, me, my brother, and my cousin were playing this card game called "Wizard".  The game came with score sheets which had those very small name spaces.  My cousin, writting the names down, desided to put Mugs as a short version of Magoo, and that's it.
