Whats behind your boards username?

rogue-entity

I noticed that many boardsies have funny, clever or just plain unusual usernames. I am just curious to know how you all came up with them.

I'll go first: Rogue, Operating outside normal or desirable controls (from dictionary.com), I am so because I deliberately choose to do my own thing and be different from everyone else, but not so different that I can't get on with anyone else, just enough to make me more unique. An entity can be anything, but I am referring to myself, hence RogueEntity.

So, whats behind your username?

*note to mods: If there is already a thread like this, then I apologise, but the board-tracker search thing just doesnt work for me.*

Hmm_Messiah

Some of this is the truth, I don't quite remember which bits.

I "chat" online exactly as in person, some friends would laugh (lol

when they saw logs of IRC chats because they could "hear" ever erm....hmm etc.
Messiah is because for those few "fortunate" enough to see my...man bits... they would fallon their knees and whisper "jesus!"
Because I'm an empathic magick healer, and have (on rare occasions) saved online folks (waaay too long a story )
Erm I'm well a carpenter bloke, with a beard (and celibate hehe)
I'm a stigmatist.
I am in fact ....wait for it........... The Resurrection and the Life.
Or some far more serious explanation, which oewuld make sense in a Magick/Religion/Philosophy thread but perhaps not here.
Because MmmbopMessiah was "already in use".

Mrs_Doyle

No real mystery behind my choice of user name - I absolutely love Father Ted!

Unearthly

Just a random word that I thought of 2 years ago.

Sounds a bit gothic which is gay

Close.

Language are related.

The Maori myths actually tell of a place called Hawaiki.

frobisher

Frobisher is a brilliant character from one of my favourite books ever called Cloud Atlas, by David Mitchell.
Go read it!

sock puppet

I thought of mine out of nowhere really. I only found out what a sock puppet means on internet forums after i joined.

johnny_ultimate

Trying to come up with ultimate superhero in school, name came a bit obviously. Add Johnny in front of anything and you get a good name (see : Nmenoic etc...). After making a short film documenting Dr Jonathan Ultimate's rise to power, decided to use it as my email. Bizarrely, no one had used the name before so now i frequent many message boards / email adresses using the name johnny_ultimate.

pikku

mine's a nickname that i had a long long time ago...It somehow 'fitted' *just right* and has been my web pseudonym ever since.

it means 'little one' in finnish....

The Sweeper

It's irony, because I'm teetotal.

LB6

Mine came from a hobby.

Female riding a Bandit 600 = LB6

testicle

What's behind my boards username? An ass-crack usually...

Fanny Cradock

Well, as I began my forum experience on forums populated by some very ignorant Americans (not saying the majority are) - the different meanings between the term "fanny" was my little jibe at them . Possibly, as I'm male, adopting a female name has caused confusion (I've been chatted up more than once), but it's too late now, I guess.

Peter Collins

My username is a brilliant 1950s F1 driver tragically killed at the Nurburgring and a dreadful 1990s F1 commentator magically employed at RTE

Do tell...

Mine came from a freak accident some years ago involving a copy of Pitch Black on DVD

dr.bollocko

Is this the kind of freak accident that involved lube and EMTs laughing hilariously at really inappropriate times?
Feel your pain,
