The User Name Story.

[NMTerras]

I live in nm, my X's name is Terra....and I have more than one. NMTerras.

Originally, on cx, before I got into modding, I signed up to get info about some issue or another. P0505 code I think. Didn't even think about a username as anything I'd keep using....

If I had, I'd have gone with my nickname, Macker. (From hockey, where all nicknames are derived from adding either "er" or "sy" to first syllable of last name, e.g "boydsy" "Panker".

 

[mac11]

Last name is mciver, so everyone calls me Mac. Birth month is november (11).

Doesn't have anything to do with the gun.

 

[Prime]

Sorry for the long story, but that is where CaptainMorgan_SOS came from.

Wow. That is an epic story. And really cool that you guys do that every year.

 

[drbandkgb]

Well lets see here... This topic seems to pop up every so often....

Most of you all know but I will jump in again


I used to use Rootyblue or elementboy2 I had a blues band called rootblue so.. Pretty simple.. On other none Nissan forums I always used elementboy2 because
I owned a Honda Element. The 2 was added because of my email server.. I guess 0 and 1 were used.. So I went with it..


Then I met Ms Kelly.. Since I needed a new email for our joint stuff I came up with "drb"and"kgb" Many over the years have assumed it was DR BAND KGB..
Im no DR and I have never been in the KGB.. You wouldnt believe how many times at the Xterra events Im called DR.

So Thats me...

These things can always be changed How about spanker or yanker ?

 

[Xebra]

A few years back when I worked in law enforcement, my radio call sign was 1-Zebra-67. Pretty straight forward from there.

 

[bigjim247365]

well im just over 6'4" and about 300lbs. so there is the "Big" part.

my real name is James but "Jim" is the nickname.
i was called bigjim most of the way threw highschool football.

24-7 365 part is cuz im BigJim all day errday!

 

[AaronsX]

Drb for a very long time I read your name as Dr-Band-KGB. I don't think it was until I added you on Facebook that I realized it was initials with a & lol

 

[KChurch86]

There are some great stories in this thread. Great thread idea too!

My name is Kyle Church and I was born in '86. Pretty involved story, right?

I didn't always use KChurch86 as my internet username. I used to have oddball names elsewhere, but one day I decided I needed a username that I could use in a more adult or "professional" setting, and thus KChurch86 was born.

In retrospect, I could have done better.

I feel the same way Kyle. caseycamby is so bland haha

On some other sites I've used TheCamboSlice but that's about as good as it gets haha

 

[gamecock257]

gamecock257- I'm a big South Carolina gamecocks fan so back in my younger days whenever I got my email account I wanted something with gamecock in it. The 257 are just random numbers that I was assigned since the ones I wanted were taken. It's my username for basically everything lol.

 

[FrankTheTank]

Well....my username comes from when I met my SO and the X four years ago. When we were first dating he would always refer to someone named "Frank" and it took me a while to figure out that he was referring to the X. Turns out he got the name from Will Ferrell's character in Old School, and the name kind of stuck. Today, I like to think of "FrankTheTank" as referring to the copious amounts of gasoline that the truck goes through


Otherwise...the name is Liz

 

[TKDx00]

Well for me they are NOT my initials as some of you already know. The name came about from another site I was on. the full name is TKDBLKBLT. T - Tae, K - Kwon, D - Do from when I set out for my first black(BLK) belt(BLT) in the martial art oh so many years ago. Folks just started calling me TK. X00 I own a 2000 Xterra.

[Xterrafauss]

Well my last name is Fauss, and mostly it is what I go by. So xterra+Fauss


Alsooooooo It is pronounced Fowss not Faughs

 

[MadMike]

Mine came from the Aussies.

I studied at University of Tasmania for about 4 months when I was in school and they called me Mad Mike during the lan parties we would set up in the common room (apparentlg I have "mad" video game skills but I don't see it) and it kinda stuck from there.

In the gaming world I've been known as Assassin (not because I thought it sounds intimidating but because it has "ass" in it twice....)
I used to take the 1st 2 letters of slogans and make names from them and used to use Bodoifegoalun from the vintage underwear slogan - Boy do I feel good all under...
I'm not sure what happened when I decided on Chetter.....

 

[chrishaynesusa]

In 1960 , ……I was born a poor white child. My name is Chris Haynes. When I was old enough to remember things I seem to recall that I was addressed as Chris Haynes. Back when TV was in black and white and I WAS the remote control, I was called Chris Haynes. “turn up the volume Chris Haynes” ….. “turn the channel to 5 Chris Haynes”.

My life took a turn when I started school……
“your son Chris Haynes is gifted” they said and so it was that I attended the finest public schools. And at 17 I joined the NAVY. And for the next 21 years I was no longer addressed as Chris Haynes. Sh!thead, maggot, fvcking Haynes, dickhead…etc. These were the names I learned to respond to. Deep down inside I knew that I was Chris Haynes. And I knew that one day the world would know it as well. When the adventure that the NAVY was finally ended, I had seen the world and more importantly THE WORLD had seen me.
And in 1998 as I prepared to retire and become a civilian I bought a computer to prepare for this great second career. And when I logged into my first account online with a 28K modem I once again proudly proclaimed for all the digital world to know as my login ID CHRISHAYNES !!

And yet I could not identify with that as my loginID. Imagine my fury and bewilderment at not being able to use the name I had spent so many years suppressing. The login program said the name Chris Haynes is already taken. Ponder for a moment the utter helplessness I felt at not being able to use my gobble given name upon the internet. The program offered to identify me as chrishaynes1 chrishaynes10 or chrishaynesusa.
And in that moment a legend was created for............. I AM CHRISHAYNESUSA
Everything else is history.

Hi Liz! Good to see you on the forum.

 

[BuffaloFunk]

Lived in Buffalo, NY for a while. If you head downtown you can smell Lucky Charms from the General Mills plant when they are operating. Combine that with a horrible sewer smell that seems to travel in small pockets that sneak up on you and leave as quickly as it came in when it infiltrated your nostrils; well, then you've got something that can only be called the Buffalo Funk.

I should say that Buffalo doesn't smell like sewer all over. Just would hit you maybe once a week and it would be a horrible smell. Normally it's Lucky Charm heaven.
