Tell us the story of your username...(ancient merge)

Stompbox

With all these wonderfully imaginative usernames that exist in boards, I was just wondering, where does your username come from? Mine is from the kayaking company, Sweet. They make helmets and other accesories. What about you?

congo_90

Its the percentage of said country I won in the rarer than the nigerians, congolese lotto!

It came down to stupid kids in my class having 4 people with same first name. It took them 2 years to realise there was a country called congo. I chose not to say anything

foxyboxer

A Simpsons reference. How original.

"if the Bible has taught us anything--and it hasn't--is that girls should stick to girls sports, such as hot-oil wrestling, foxy boxing, and such and such."

hence Foxyboxer

Paddy Englishman, Paddy Irishman, and Paddy Scotsman fall down a well. The fall kills Paddy Englishman while Paddy Irishman and Paddy Scotsman die later due to injuries and starvation.

Plus I was born in 1985

extra-ordinary_

I was joining a dating site a good few years ago and wanted to portray myself as just an ordinary guy (I wish! I'm a freak! ).
I used the name extra-ordinary_guy joining sites from then on until I signed up somewhere that had a username character limit that didn't allow the 'guy'. From then I've been using both 'extra-ordinary_' and 'extra-ordinary_guy'

AnonoBoy

I'm actually a famous RTE celebrity in disguise so I thought AnonoBoy would be a nice inconspicious name.

nameproblem

I use the same username for everything I sign up for, changed it a bit when I first started using the interweb, then I changed, wanted to go back to an old name, alas it was stolen by some name imposter... so I then had a name problem, solved this easily by becoming "nameproblem" and the great username was born....

Schism

It's a song. Extremely interesting I know.

Was it a random name plucked from the air 15 years ago that's still with you ?

Did you copy someone elses from another board etc ?

Is there a meaning behind it ?

Do you use the same name elsewhere ?

Loads of related questions there

Vince McMahon is a wrestling character that was 'killed' in an explosion. I seen a Gif that i thought was funny where Kane (a wrestler) is responsible for it, thus KKV = Kane Killed Vince.

I think this is the only place on the net where i use this name though. Everywhere else im "chokeslamcena". Yahoo suggested it many years ago and i just stuck with it.

I'd like to use that name here too, but I' m not paying money to change my username. It'll have to do.

OP it is manners to state your own opinion/reasons etc. when posing a question such as this on boards.

You'd never get that from just seeing KKV - that's actually quite interesting

Ah my bad - mines an anagram

Hank_Jones

Marge: Question 1: Name one of your childs friends
Homer: Lets see uh, Barts friends, well there's the fat kid with the thing, uh, the little wiener who's always got his hands in his pockets!
Marge: They want a name, Homer, not a vague description!
Homer: Okay....Hank?
Marge: Hank? Hank who?
Homer: Hank....Jones!
Marge: Homer, you made that up

And thus the username was born.

A friend of mine was putting a bet on a pig in a pig race(for charity or something) anyway he needed a name for the pig. I first suggested that he call it Juan Claude Van Ham and that what was originally going to be my username. Alas that wouldn't fit in the username space so I went with the other suggestion which was ... Kevin Bacon.

I made my real name 1337.

Aodan83

Name in English was taken, so tried it in Irish, and that was taken too. So I just added a random number, which worked.
