How did you get your forum name?

[Brandane]

A nickname, given to me by an ex naval person. One of those "chalky white" or "Nobby styles" type of nick names. You can probably guess my surname.

McSharkface?

 

[mistyoptic]

You’ll never work mine out…

Are you a canoeist from Barnstable?

 

[mistyoptic]

I always look on the bright side. Optimistic…

Was in the specs business.

 

[Drago]

Was in the specs business.

Oh, speed camera salesman, eh?

 

[13 rider]

The bike in my avatar is from a company called 13 and I ride it 😁
@Supersuperleeds is because he supports Hull City 😂 really but didn't like to admit it

Damn you!

 

[MontyVeda]

we've done this before... mine is a double spoonerisation of my actual name, so Veda comes from Dave

 

[presta]

I usually use something connected to the subject of the forum. Presta on here, Jack Pott on the MSE forum, Humphrey Head on the Ramblers forum, Ectopic1 on the AF forum.

I think if I re-join the MSE forum I might go for Titus R Soles.

 

[mickle]

It's one of the names my mother gave me.

 

[mustang1]

A long time ago I went on an American road trip in a car of the same name.

 

[Chris S]

Last part of first name last part of surname,

Which coincidentally spells an Indian name.

 

[geocycle]

Part aspiration to ride my bike everywhere, part reference to my profession as a scientist. It’s been with me a long time on various forums (including C+) so the first part now sounds overly ambitious.

i always thought your brother was called darth

 

[Aescott]

Username is just first and middle initials, plus surname. Avatar is my hockey shirt and squad number.

 

[Time Waster]

I took my name from what posting on forums was about at work. Since then I have left that job and now have to do real work so I am on here ass often as before!! So I waste time on here rather than doing what I should be doing at work. I then rush my work just before the deadline when the stress and worry of making deadline means I can actually start on the project without procrastination. So until I get close to deadlines I am Time Waster.

I have other screen names reelated to other forums such as one I joined after an accident so I chose an accident related screen name. Others related to what someone described me as after I showed them my party trick. That name was pipe cleaner. Needless to say I have not felt like I could use that name any more so that screen name did change some time ago on that forum. There are some forums that allow you to change your name whenever you wanted to.
