    It's an elongated version of my name, but not the actual elongated version of name.

    My lifelong eczema/dermatitis was effectively cured recently thanks to a plant based/vegan diet.

    I've been eating lots of veg/fruits recently.

    So I had that sort of thing on my mind when I was signing up.

    I do like all these usernames what have meaning/something worthwhile behind them

    Stargate Atlantis was playing when I signed up. Didn't imagine at the time my account was going to be a long term thing.

    The odd time someone tries to insult me by saying "sure your taste in TV is ****e" and it honestly takes me a while to figure out what they're on about.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,046 ✭✭✭Wellyd


    Welly is the name I've been called by my granddad since I was small. Now lots of people call me it. One of my nephews didn't know I had a real name they just assumed welly was my real name! People are often amazed that I'm not in fact a man.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,581 ✭✭✭Shpudnik


    A nickname from some people on Boards I got when I was on my old account. So I decided to use it for this one when I got back.

    I am guilty of stealing my user name from this thread http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2057175682, I couldn't think of anything good the day I joined and saw this thread on the home page and thought that will do. I then added the ... for my own bit of uniqueness:pac:!

    So what does your username mean?
    Nothing other than it's related quite closely to my name in real-life - but misspelled owing to the login having been chosen for a separate website one evening, while quite plastered. It serves as a daily caution.
    Obviously mine refers to Lady Macbeth from the play Macbeth by Shakespeare. She is one cruel lady who knows how to manipulate men by using her sexuality, just like myself of course :pac:
    Lady McBeth also went mad, was written out of the script and died in anonymity - if I were you, I'd choose another login :)

    Remember that LCD bravia TV advert a few years ago where they released thousands of balls down the street in San Francisco? For some reason it popped into my head, then I remembered a prank show on channel 4 where they called them luh cuh duh tuhvs, and the rest is history


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,288 ✭✭✭Virtanen


    As a fan of Person of Interest, one of the early bad-guy-companies in the show was Virtanen Pharmaceuticals. Thought the name sounded cool, so I started using it here and elsewhere on the web

    I thought it was just a made-up name that the writers came up with, but it turns out Virtanen is one of the most common surnames in Finland, so I've had a few people assume I was Finnish, but alas I am not


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,301 ✭✭✭Pwindedd


    Pet name my husband gave me. Okay imagine saying the word princess when you're really bunged up with a heavy cold. its always available as a username no matter what site I'm on.

    Mine is the name of a device used to read codes from a Nissan.
    It was also the title of my first message/thread.
    I wanted to sign up to ask for a link to buy the device, and I couldnt think of a name. So yeah.

    That Shakespeare fellah makes some fine fishing pole too.

    My own name is from the area of Dublin I'm from.. the Four Corners of Hell.

    Had to Google it.

    Turns out I passed it a hundred times when living in Dublin, in Harold's Cross, and never knew this.

    You might like this, and the old pics...

    Exorcisms I suspect would be more in demand around these her parts.

    I live in Sligo and my nickname used to be Jokey. It was meant to be sligojokey but I had a few pints down with no glasses on when I signed up and it came out as sligojoek.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 42,220 ✭✭✭✭Scorpion Sting


    The inspiration for my username came from watching a U2 concert on DVD and Larry Mullen the drummer was wearing a white t-shirt with a really cool scorpion design on the back of it.

    This is the one I'm on about, fecking class.
