Tom Mann Centuria

No one else wanted to pick my username, so I had to pick it myself.

Annasopra

My friends parrot was called Joey. Joey lived for about 40 years, loved singing opera with Pavarotti and they always thought the bird was male. Turned out in the end as my friends said "ee were a Joanna all along"

ToddyDoody

Its a bit stupid, like myself.

Star Bingo

Because it seemed a better alternative to picking my nose

the beer revolu

I was pimping a blog at the time (and got taken to task for it)
The Beer Revolution was too long so I ended up with the beer revolu:o
Being a user here lasted way longer than the blog.

harry Bailey esq

I just kept it simple and used my real name.

Wibbs

From a Viz magazine character called Roger Irrelevant. From the Wiki:

Roger Irrelevant ("He's Completely Hatstand") – a young man with a very strange mental problem where he continually produces irrelevant and surreal streams of language and behaviour. In one strip, Roger throws a lamp from the roof of a house after a long, impassioned (and obviously unsuccessful) plea for the lamp not to commit suicide. On another occasion he decides to elope with an armchair, declaring it is pregnant with his children. Another time sees him disrupting the funeral of a relative by dragging the corpse out of the coffin and - employing a Brooklyn accent and emulating a character from a Mickey Spillane novel - aggressively questioning the deceased about some stolen goods. His parents seem to be very understanding and merely politely request that he stops his behaviour. These are the only times that Roger manages to show any sign of interaction with real people, although usually it is only in the form of saying things like "wibble wibble". (Dictionary.com attributes this nonsense-word to Roger; see External Links below.) "Frisnit" and "z'goft" are two of Roger's other favourite words.

*emphasis mine*

So I got Wibbs. He who wibbles. Mostly irrelevantly. Frisnit was running a close second.

RhubarbCrumble

I was going through a baking phase at the time.

storker

I had a colleague several years ago who was a Boards junkie. I created an account with the intention of, as a wind-up, only posting to disagree with everything he said. In the end I couldn't be bothered doing it, but when I actually started to use Boards years later I used the login I'd already set up. I don't use this name anywhere else.

Born in the year of the dragon and I'm a girl so stuck an a on the end. If I were a boy, I'd be dragono. Simple as that!

It was also Pearl Jam's name when they were only recording demos on Sony Walkmans.

As for my username, I randomly made it up two years ago. I'd definitely change it if I could, but I hear you can if you get a paid subscription (which is cheap for a month). Only issue is I currently have no methods of purchasing one. Bah humbug.

When I first signed up in 2014, my username was HeathenWolf which kinda reflected my personal journey at that time.

Ragnar Lothbrok

Legendary Viking - almost God-like.

Bit like myself, really :cool:

Day Lewin

My first boardsie username was a bit too identifying: so I deliberately chose a new one that would be gender-neutral and have no indicators of age, location, orientation or anything else.

It was a Monday. Name is the Irish for Monday. (I am willing to be identified as an Irish speaker.)

...........and you picked the most annoying, irritating, lame, weedy, character in the show?

Surely The Cat or Kryten would have been better, cooler usernames
