What does ur name mean? (ur alias, handel, screenname)

[Kitros]

I thought of this alias when I was 11, for no reason. It was during my sci-fi reading days...

I didn't know it was Greek until later. I just thought it sounded rather cool!

 

[Alienwho]

<< i used to be deepthrot but then the mods banned me for no reason saying it was obscene even tho it isn't even in that sense. so then i came back on as deept and asked em wtf and got banned again, so now i'm d33pt and haven't been banned since. >>


Deepthoat was a guys name on Metal Gear Solid. I never really liked hearing Solid Snake say &quot;Deepthoat&quot;.

 

[SSP]

My initials.

 

[Whitecloak]

I was reading the &quot;Wheel Of Time&quot; series when i decided to join up (after lurking for about an year). All the good names from that series were already taken up. ergo whitecloak.

 

[b0mbrman]

I used to blow things up. One day I took a picture of myself and wanted to title it bomberman but back in those days, you could only call files by 8 letters. Thus, my name turned into bombrman.

When I registered on AOL, I wanted to be the same guy but they didn't let me use the word &quot;bomb&quot; in my SN...because AOL sucked back then (I don't know anything about the current status of AOL)

the O turned into a zero and that's where we are today.

*muah*
That's my story

 

[Yo Ma Ma]

Upper respiratory, ya weed.

 

[fitzhue]

my golf coach used to call me fitzhue cuz my last name starts with Fitz. don't ask me how/why he added the &quot;hue&quot; on the end of it but anywho, the name just stuck

 

[WombatWoman]

&quot;WOMBAT&quot; is an old geek acronym for &quot;Waste Of Money, Brains And Time.&quot;
Some days that describes me to a T.

 

[chiwawa626]

sounds painful, so why are you so loved and famous on anandtech?

 

[NikPreviousAcct]

<< Remember the bad guy in the movie Event Horizon >>

:Q Yeah, I remember that movie. More vividly do I remember those two scenes and playing them both in slow motion a few times to watch everythign that happened. Boy, was that stupid or what. Omg... I don't think I'm going to sleep very well tonight... It's the only movie that I've seen that scared me like that.



<< sounds painful, so why are you so loved and famous on anandtech? >>

a question I had the curiosity to know but not the balls to ask

 

[frizzlefry]

WW.... my sister performed a couple of those types of operations. Amazing what modern medicine can do. I was lucky enough to see one of these operations performed from the rafters. All I have to say is glad you're well and let the good times roll! Love your posts BTW.

 

[Blundar]

my last name is Blundell. I was a really lanky kid in middle school. My best friend Aaron watched me trip over some random object and blurted out, &quot;Blundar the barbarian, ever ready to trip over himself.&quot; From there, go figure. Well, it kinda stuck I guess, thoughout the YEARS on EFNET, and now it is just too strongly attached to me. fooboy is my alterego (but not on anandtech) if you ever see him round ... See Hacker's dictionary for inspiration on this one.

 

[sparkle]

For a long time I used &quot;Mr. Sparkle&quot; ( a simpsons refrence) for online gaming. Eventually I got bored of everyone understanding the origins. Thus I changed it to &quot;sparkle&quot;, around the time I began work on my 1st website. By the time I got around to working on a &quot;real&quot; site of my own, I decided to morph the name even more to the alias I currently use &quot;sparq-l&quot; still pronounced &quot;sparkle&quot;. as in my website www.sparq-l.com

Oh i forgot, I also have used &quot;fragger vance&quot; and &quot;oh-grr&quot; for online gaming. the first a knock on the movie Bagger Vance ,the second being a clever way of spelling ogre

Guess

In TFC I use the handle &quot;Amused&quot; (already taken when I joined AT), and the number one line I hear after fragging someone while playing TFC is, &quot;I am NOT amused!&quot; LOL

 

[Hamburgerpimp]

It's a long story.

 

[natto fire]

[GrimmX]

I used to have a little radio show called GrimmerNationX. I was Grimm on GrimmerNationX. I have been using Grimm on the internet for a while and found fewer and fewer places where it wasn't taken up by someone else. So I took the X from the show and added it to Grimm. So now it's GrimmX and I've gotten used to it.

[Sciolist]

Sciolist: someone who has a pretentious attitude of scholarship or superficial knowledgeability. By the way, this is a fun term to use in casual conversation. Almost no one would realize that they've just been insulted!

I'm really only related by marriage to computer geekdom, so the name is appropriate. I read these forums because I like geeky guys; my husband is extremely knowledgeable about computer stuff.
