Peoples' Names: Why do you use it?

by **Evil Semp** on Tue Oct 19, 2010 8:36 pm

When I played Risk on MSN I was Semper__Fi and someone called me evil. When trying to join other sites with that name it was usually taken so I tried Evil Semp and have not had any problems with that user name being taken.

I tried Black Knight first, but that was taken. My school colors at the time were Blue and Gold, and Blue Knight was already taken too...

My name stems from a different site, but I signed up for that site during the 2006 World Cup. I was watching Angola play someone and the announcer was really excited and yelling about Angola.

I thought it'd be a good username.

Mine is somewhat innapropriate...but I'll post it anyway. Back in the day I was a huge pothead, so I chose this name. It's toker4life without the vowels. t(o)k(e)r4l(i)f(e)...tkr4lf. Kinda lame, I know. I don't even smoke anymore either. I wish we could change our names.

For me it started in University and jpcloet was attached to all kinds of mail systems, programming lab, etc. and I just continued to use it. I still use my Unix jumble password from 1995 in some of my high security access points. I've typed those 2 things so many times, I'll never be able to forget them.

masterpice? that is prob the most boring book ever. For those who haven't read it...imagine 600 pages to read when it could easily be taken down to 200 without doing anything to change the plot.

Seriously, yo. And that Tolstoy guy…what a boring read. Not to mention Sun Tzu.

Fans of Russian Literature unite!
Pechorin is the main character from Mikhail Lermontov's novel 'A Hero of Our Time'
I added an 'r' in the middle just because.

That's a shame, I was hoping it was named after the infamous Lousisiana state penitentiary.

You're such a spoil-sport. He asked why you use it, not to shroud yourself in even more mystery! :lol:

Bogans are not well represented on line. So I thought I would do my bit to raise the profile of the white, mullet wearing underclass of australia and new zealand. Seemed like a good idea at the time. Also elements of wishful thinking on my part. I can't really be a bogan in real life(don't have attractive female cousins), but tis fun to pretend with the online persona.

by **rdsrds2120** on Fri Oct 22, 2010 8:50 pm

My name is my initials. Repeated. Haha! I don't know where the 2120 comes from. However, I believe mpjh declares it was the year I was born :lol:

by **grifftron** on Fri Oct 22, 2010 9:31 pm

site wouldn't let me put my name as jakewilliams for some reason.

Yeah, most people think that is where it comes from.

But my love of the beautiful game shines through - by the way, did you know Altidore actually sucks and Bob Bradley should be fired?

Well, my name it's a kind of arrogance. Its made from the combination between my real name and Charlemagne (in my mother tongue, spanish it's Carlomagno), the emperor of the holy roman empire. That name was very suitable when i used to play Age of Empires 2, and since I kind of made " a name" with that nickname in the gamming zone, I always use it for games related purposes
