Where'd you get your Username from?

Niamho! · 22-08-2007 4:15pm #1

Right so if you've already had this just ignore/delete whatever....

Some of the Usernames on here are Good but i often find myself wondering about them. Where'd you get yours from??

some of them are very self explanatory....such as mine.

Anti · 22-08-2007 4:23pm

This thread has been done a hundred times before.

But sure, one more time wont harm much. It originally cam from when i was about 11, i was anti everything. I didnt like much, and inturn became one of them angry teenages who hated the world. I wasn't a goth or an emo though.

Then it evolved when i startied play online fps games, namely unreal tournament in late 1998 when it was out on beta. I really couldnt stand the fella that would hide up on a ledge, waiting for you just so they could get a easy kill. Thus the name transformed to anti-camper. But after a few years i realized how ghey it sounded and moved back to anti.

_blank_ · 22-08-2007 4:25pm

Erm....it's my name.

It's a shortened of Desmond, which is the name my parents gave the day I was born. My Dad has the same name.

The 'F' is the first initial of my surname, which I also got from my Dad.

What an interesting life you lead Tar.

Duggy747 · 22-08-2007 4:32pm

Well, Duggy is my name. I litteraly go by that rather than my real name. All started when a new guy in my year back in 2nd year started calling me it cuz he assumed it was short for my last name. It just stuck from there and it's quite funny when I meet new people cuz I can go ages without telling them my real name. One example was people in college in Galway I hung around with everyday. Half-way through the year I found out they thought my first name was Douglas (It's actually Brendan)

As for the 747 part, well, everytime I sign up to something "Duggy" is always taken and since "747" is an easy combination of numbers for me to remember I've stuck with it for years on any site I'm on.

School nick someone gave me ! As when we had to read out loud in class instead of rushing the words to get through it as quick as possible I would read whatever passage it was properly ! So there !

tvnutz · 22-08-2007 4:35pm

Believe it or not, I really like watching certain television shows :rolleyes:

watna · 22-08-2007 4:36pm

It's a mixture of all my names (surname, first name and middle name). I'd like to change it though. Perhaps i should suscribe!

MrSquishSquash · 22-08-2007 4:37pm

It was pissing rain & i was late for a lecture, as i walked through the hall it was in (everyone went silent - typical :rolleyes: ) all you could hear was "Squish" "Squash" from my wet Boots and i was given the name MrSquishSquash & it kinda stuck( online at least! )

lemansky · 22-08-2007 4:39pm

In the show 'The Shield' there is/was (depending on what season you're talking about) a character in it called called Curtis Lemansky. He was a detective on the Strike Team.

John Mason · 22-08-2007 4:39pm

Ruu_Old · 22-08-2007 4:45pm

A few people call me Ruu to shorten mo ainm, Ruairí.

fakearms123 · 22-08-2007 4:46pm

Name was taken from Father Ted when Jason Byrne catches Ted with plastic hands for operating Jack in the wheelchair, it became a joke in school when a guy fell asleep and the teacher was trying to wake him up by poking his arm with a ruler but he wouldnt wake up and a friend stood up and shouted "They're fake arms!!", it was very funny, turns out though that Jason Byrne actually said "fake hands" but fake arms sounds funnier. So yep, thats where it comes from 123 is just a easy number

BKtje · 22-08-2007 4:47pm

It is my initials +4 letters of alphabet (ie B becomes F) while second string of letters are my qualifications.

Ok im a complete liar. The B-K is commonly thought to refer to where i used to work (which is incorrect) while the DzR belongs to an organisation i used to be associated with.
Some people here may know the true meaning (very few) but i keeps it close to my chest these days and it will take more than a thread on after hours to make me give it up! (Watch someone who knows go and ruin my fun now

).

humbert · 22-08-2007 4:47pm

was going to go with bert from the children's program but it was taken so the character from lolita came to mind.

Hrududu · 22-08-2007 4:48pm

Mine is what all the rabbits in Watership Down call cars (well any vehicle with an engine).

Watch out for the hrududu little rabbits.

6th · 22-08-2007 4:52pm

Mine used to be longer but I was refered to as 6th alot so I subscrided and shortened it. Because it starts with a number though I get to be close to the top of the members online list.

I've built up alot of other things built around my username here so I'm stuck with it.

eamoss · 22-08-2007 4:52pm

Even though I was the only Éamonn in my school for the 6 years I was there I got the nickname 'eamoss'. No one called me by my 1st name in school always by my nickname even some of the teachers called me it.

Not sure how it came about but I know who started calling me it and from there its history!

Where did the seansouth come from then? From the south?

I might not be as delighted to meet you in the pub next time, until I get to know your new username first

Where'd you get your Username from?
