Why Did You Pick Your User-Name

J. Marston

I had just finished Red Dead Redemption and John Marston is a cool character.

I wanted it to be just ''Marston'' but some bastard had it already!

Mine's from the Dandy which I used to read as a kid. Also my name is Daniel. I have a desperate Dan tee aswell. Unfortunately I think most people don't think of the Dandy when they see my username!

Osmosis Jones

My nickname is Oz, and this is just one of the many offsprings, including Ozzimoto, Oswald, Osmond and Ozbozz

Canis Lupus

It's the latin for wolf and as we all know wolves and the internet = supreme coolness.

narfsnonsense

Its my name (Fran) backwards added to the fact that I talk sh1te most of the time.

Augmerson

I think back in the day I originally was introduced to this site by playing Counter-Strike beta on servers with other lads from Ireland. My name in CS was Aug and then it became Augmerson somehow (you can get a Steyr Aug rifle in the game on the counter-terrorist side) so when I joined up here, I wanted the others to know who I was, and here we are.

ArphaRima

Mine was available. For some reason it's not a popular username.

Hercule Poirot

The greatest detective ever to walk the fictional pages of history, mon ami

paddyandy

As a child in Ireland i loved the daft sounding names like american indians often still have .Paddyandy sounds mildly comical and i am the least funny thankfully .I walk alone through life and i want it that way ....'.I'll find my way home' ...as the song says ..

Biggins

There was a character off TV (Jeremy Biggins) which was at times the complete opposite of me (he was light and funny ...supposedly!). He was also huge in amounts of surplus fat!
Fellow acquaintances though it would be funny many years ago to call me something that at times, was the complete opposite of me!
(I never get that - calling someone the opposite of what they are! "Little John" in Sherwood Forest!)

Anyway, the name stuck over the years and I just went with it.
Used it many times in many places.

iamanengine

Epic tune called engine by Neutral Milk Hotel, had been listening to it while setting up on boards!

Ray von

Character from the sitcom Phoenix Nights!

Delightfully Pessimistic

I felt it was a nice way to describe my personality

Hey Fonsey (aka tajd), bad news. I googled your name and apparently your on a list of kiddy fiddlers (2nd result down).

OK maybe not you personally (unless you were a christian brother in the US) but hey this is AH and we point fingers.

It just seems to go on and on.

Does anyone else just think of this anytime they see Biggins post?

mud

Because my name is mud

Actually it's a shortened version of muddy mae suggins (Homer's mammy) a house-mate called me it years ago and it stuck (like mud) I'm called many things but online it's usually mud, muddymae or muddymaesuggins.
