    I was on anagramsite.com, put in my name and voila..

    Thought it was pretty cool, so because my username!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,804 ✭✭✭Setun


    I'm not sure where I originally got it from, I think jazz lingo. It was my name on Animal Crossing, then my nickname in a band im in, then voila! Boards username!

    Because I did something really stupid and my friend asked me why and i said " Just coz!" She thought it was hilarious and it was the only thing I could think of at the time I registered. It's very appropriate for my life I think. Do you ever just not feel like explaining yourself? It's a great solution!

    Mine translates as 'Gurra runs Amok', derived from the commonly referred Dub description of a gurrier on the rampage :D

    It once tried to understand quantum physics and Schroedinger's Paradox( Schroedinger's Cat), and the day I finally got my head around it is the day I joined boards. It was just stuck in my head then.

    Of course, two days later and I tell this to some guy who does quantum physics in college and he tells me that I'm talking through my ****. I was very disappointed. But then some-one observed me, and I died, thus putting me out of my misery. (It still wrecks my head, and I'm still bitter)

    Was playing a game of Civ (the original) and needed a name for my aztec save... chose sippa. which became lordsippa. Which became an integral part of my email addresses etc so i just keep it up. It's rarely already taken.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,051 ✭✭✭jimbling


    the buddies seem to think i have a gambling problem :eek:

    they started taking the piss, calling me gambling jim (my names jim by the way :D )

    this soon rolled into jimbling (they seemed to think it was hilarious), which became my poker alias... which then became my boards name.

    or so the story goes

    It's my name on MKP and that came about while I was having a fit of pique about Brian Molko. Yummy.


  • Posts: 17,735 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Used to be "Ace_Rimmer" but then it seemed that most people didn't watch Red Dwarf years ago, and thought the name meant something else. I requsted it to be changed to "Labyrinth", which I then found was taken, but upon googling "labyrinth" I discovered "Myth", and used that.

    The "Edu" part of it came from a post by a poster here called "cuckoo", and it kinda stuck. 'Tis reflective of me job!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 296 ✭✭Irish-trucker


    I want to be a trucker (my father's one ), and i'm irish !- Hey presto :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,374 ✭✭✭Gone West


    I have no idea. Randomness probably.
    Your original nick was "Kenny_007" wasn't it? If I recall correctly. Then after a short while you had it changed to Aristotle, yah?

    You were the guy that prompted the admins to stop changing non-subscribers' nicks.

    And the quality of your posts does not do justice to the great philosopher that is your namesake.

    Heh heh, LOL, really LOL.

    Mine, i have been usiong since 1997 on the forum on the adam and joe shoe website, when i was first using the internet.
    Truth be told i stole it off a friend, who was coco supernova, but he's since abandoned it.
    I've had the name so long, it's most of my email address, and it's unique, and if you ever see anyone else with it, they stole it from ME.
