Where'd you get your Username from?

Niamho!

Right so if you've already had this just ignore/delete whatever....

Some of the Usernames on here are Good but i often find myself wondering about them. Where'd you get yours from??

some of them are very self explanatory....such as mine.

Anti

This thread has been done a hundred times before.

But sure, one more time wont harm much. It originally cam from when i was about 11, i was anti everything. I didnt like much, and inturn became one of them angry teenages who hated the world. I wasn't a goth or an emo though.

Then it evolved when i startied play online fps games, namely unreal tournament in late 1998 when it was out on beta. I really couldnt stand the fella that would hide up on a ledge, waiting for you just so they could get a easy kill. Thus the name transformed to anti-camper. But after a few years i realized how ghey it sounded and moved back to anti.

Niamho!

Oh right well maybe a Mod can delete this or somethin. i did a Search and nothin came up.

_blank_

Erm....it's my name.

It's a shortened of Desmond, which is the name my parents gave the day I was born. My Dad has the same name.

The 'F' is the first initial of my surname, which I also got from my Dad.

What an interesting life you lead Tar.

Duggy747

Well, Duggy is my name. I litteraly go by that rather than my real name. All started when a new guy in my year back in 2nd year started calling me it cuz he assumed it was short for my last name. It just stuck from there and it's quite funny when I meet new people cuz I can go ages without telling them my real name. One example was people in college in Galway I hung around with everyday. Half-way through the year I found out they thought my first name was Douglas (It's actually Brendan)

As for the 747 part, well, everytime I sign up to something "Duggy" is always taken and since "747" is an easy combination of numbers for me to remember I've stuck with it for years on any site I'm on.

Please we all know you're a passenger jet.

Slow Motion

School nick someone gave me ! As when we had to read out loud in class instead of rushing the words to get through it as quick as possible I would read whatever passage it was properly ! So there !

tvnutz

Believe it or not, I really like watching certain television shows :rolleyes:

watna

It's a mixture of all my names (surname, first name and middle name). I'd like to change it though. Perhaps i should suscribe!

Marathon Man

Maybe this should be my new sig!!!

MrSquishSquash

It was pissing rain & i was late for a lecture, as i walked through the hall it was in (everyone went silent - typical :rolleyes: ) all you could hear was "Squish" "Squash" from my wet Boots and i was given the name MrSquishSquash & it kinda stuck( online at least! )

lemansky

In the show 'The Shield' there is/was (depending on what season you're talking about) a character in it called called Curtis Lemansky. He was a detective on the Strike Team.

John Mason

working in bars in england, a long long time ago, i was always called irishbird. was at a wedding in england recently, and everyone was calling me irishbird which was kinda strange

Ruu_Old

A few people call me Ruu to shorten mo ainm, Ruairí.

fakearms123

Name was taken from Father Ted when Jason Byrne catches Ted with plastic hands for operating Jack in the wheelchair, it became a joke in school when a guy fell asleep and the teacher was trying to wake him up by poking his arm with a ruler but he wouldnt wake up and a friend stood up and shouted "They're fake arms!!", it was very funny, turns out though that Jason Byrne actually said "fake hands" but fake arms sounds funnier. So yep, thats where it comes from 123 is just a easy number

BKtje

It is my initials +4 letters of alphabet (ie B becomes F) while second string of letters are my qualifications.










Ok im a complete liar. The B-K is commonly thought to refer to where i used to work (which is incorrect) while the DzR belongs to an organisation i used to be associated with.
Some people here may know the true meaning (very few) but i keeps it close to my chest these days and it will take more than a thread on after hours to make me give it up! (Watch someone who knows go and ruin my fun now ).

humbert

was going to go with bert from the children's program but it was taken so the character from lolita came to mind.

Hrududu

Mine is what all the rabbits in Watership Down call cars (well any vehicle with an engine).

Watch out for the hrududu little rabbits.

6th

Mine used to be longer but I was refered to as 6th alot so I subscrided and shortened it. Because it starts with a number though I get to be close to the top of the members online list.

I've built up alot of other things built around my username here so I'm stuck with it.

eamoss

Even though I was the only Éamonn in my school for the 6 years I was there I got the nickname 'eamoss'. No one called me by my 1st name in school always by my nickname even some of the teachers called me it.

Not sure how it came about but I know who started calling me it and from there its history!

I might not be as delighted to meet you in the pub next time, until I get to know your new username first

Pyr0

Ah I can only ruin the last part B-k ! But I'll keep it to myself

Could think of a name for online gaming, so my dad did it for me

Pyro.

Starmix

I was eating a packet of Haribo Starmix when I signed up !

That simple!

Terry

From Theodoric, which was the direct source of Derek and Dietrich, but gave rise to Terry through the Norman French name Thierri (also the source of the modern French Thierry).

Or I was named after my cousin.

Pighead

Where did julep come from then? By the way, is it just Pighead or have you become much mellower and carefree since the namechange?

Crumble Froo

it's short for naroclepticinsomniac, but boards wouldnt let me use a name that long *glares at boards*.

story behind *that* name is i suffered for years with insomnia, and if i got 1-3 hrs sleep a night, i was doing well. consequently, id often nod off during class. after one particularly amusing incident involving nodding off during a lecture and a friend christened me narcoleptic insomniac, which is kinda cool cos it's often shortened to N I ie ni, which are the first two letters of my name anyway, so thats also purdy kewl.

Karl Hungus

Karl Hungus was the name that the main German nihilist, Uli Kunkle (Played by the amazing Peter Stormare) used in the porno film Maude showed The Dude in The Big Lebowski.

I'm a big fan of the film.

Zapp Brannigan

From Futurama, easy.

redfacedbear

A semi-literal translation of my name as gaeilge

AlmightyCushion

All right, it all started back in my second year of college. One of our subjects was web design and half way through the year the lecturer gave us a project to design a web site. The website could be on anything you like as long as it met certain criteria such as minimum number of pages, minimum number of photoshoped images and the like.

It wasn't long before people had their ideas. Most were based on things that interested that particular person but I was still at a loss at to what to do my website on and the time was ticking.

Then we stumbled on to the scientology website and found the personality test stored within. For a laugh a few of us decided to complete it. It returned some shíte about how we were clinically depressed and borderline psychopathic, sociopathic serial killers. We ignored the nonsense this test spouted at us and laughed heartily at it while we slaughtered a small group of orphans.

After feeding the remains to the people who looked on in despair at our depraved act, it hit me (no not my conscience). "I've got it, I've got the idea for my website" I screamed with glee as I wiped the orphans blood off my brow. "What is it?" a friend of mine asked inquisitively as he forced a shovel-load of organs and intestines down the throat of some pour innocent bystander. I told him I was going to make my own cult based loosely on scientology and make a website about that. It was a brilliant idea, I thought. Naturally being of sound mind my friend disagreed, but that didn't stifle my plan in the slightest.

I realised that this cult would need a God, but not some brilliant and all powerful creature but some thing that would never you would never associate with power. After much thought I decided that a golden almighty cushion that hailed from the planet Eularia should be the God of this cult.

Not long after that I signed up for boards and stuck for a name I went with TheAlmightyCushion but it was three characters too long so I got rid of the 'the' at the beginning at that as they say is that.

J.S. Pill

A wordplay on 19th century Liberal philosopher J.S. Mill. The 'Pill' part alludes to my penchant for mind benders - aren't I the f**king clever inter-lectual type b*stard

chopperbyrne

Chopper is my nickname.

Byrne is my surname.

Put them together and you have my username.

I noticed that too. A change truly is as good as a rest.

singlehoh

I am single and hard of hearing ( hoh in short ) so I picked my username as singlehoh

Steez

"You know my Steez"
It's from a Gangstarr tune

Terry

julep?

No idea what you're talking about.*

As for me becoming more mellow, I'm probably a bit more lenient with the ban stick, but don't ****ing push me, bitch.





*it was written on a piece of paper beside me when I signed up.
"Terry" had already been taken, but one of the nice admin folk decided to give me usage of this particular moniker as the previous owner had never posted.
In saying that, it was probably me who signed up with that name and never posted, then forgot all about it.

Steve Bantu Biko

bronte

I'm fond of the writings of Emily Bronte, hence the old username there.

Which one, the porno or The Big Lebowski???

OP, I was obviously in a totally uninspired and unimaginative mood, and I like ice cream in a cone, with a flake

Holsten

Holsten beer, there was a Holsten glass infront of me when I registered.
