Where did you get your username?

SoWatchaWant

This applies only to a certain type of username... For example, ever wondered where the words Karoma, or Frada, come from?

My google powers tell me that Frada is a cheap imitation of Prada. Am I warm, Frada? Mine's a reference to a Beastie Boys song.

Obviously applies less to usernames such as brendansmith or RugbyFanatic. We can put two and two together on that one.

Well, what's the idea behind your username?

Ah yes, I am familiar with you from the music forum:)

Well that's something new about the language to me, and I considered myself a goodish speaker.

@nuxx:

I'm familiar with Underworld, is Born Slippy Nuxx the full name of the song, or a particular remix?

Ah, but what about your new username:)

giggsy664

Well my name is Ryan, and I support Manchester united, hence the name.

Why 664? When I was registering on Lego.com (I was 8 and a few friends were on it), and giggsy was taken so it recommended giggsy664
