[ryan256]

My name is Ryan. 256 is my Pi Kappa Phi initiation number.

 

[irishScott]

I'm 60% Irish and my name is Scott

Incidently, I also have a small fraction of scottish blood in me,

Since I joined

On a few. I'm an older member on some other forums and havne't changed my account name yet.

 

[Aquila76]

-Why did you pick it and what does it mean?
Aquila is Italian for Eagle. My grandfather nicknamed me Aquila because I can see/find things most people would miss at first glance (eagle-eyed).
76 is my birth year.

-How long have you been using it?
Aquila - About 25 years
Aquila76 - Since we got the 'net at my house, around '92.

-Do you use the same nickname on every forum you visit?
Try to. The name/number combo isn't used that much, surprisingly.

 

[Dolorous Dave]

I've been very surprised by how available "Dolorous Dave" has been. You'd think that anything without a number next to it would be taken on the bigger forums.

 

[Juno]

um..it's my name?

Need for Speed 4. I picked the name after Need for Speed 3 came out and before Need for Speed "4" was actually named Need for Speed: High Stakes.

I still play NFS4 today. Great game.

 

[potato28]

-.... good question... prolly came from my CSCZ days when I was baked...
-about 4 or 5 years(CS, related clan forums)
- depends if I get a better idea....

 

[Ryan]

Uh - it's my name

 

[Fritzo]

When I used to play Tribes, I though it would be funny to make a female player that was really skinny, had big boobs, but had a deep mans voice and name him Fritz.

Fritz was taken, so I used Fritzo.

That's it.

Well, let's see. If Anandtech = Butt...your name would make a lot of sense

 

[AnandtechPirate]

well played fritzo.

 

[homercles337]

I idolize the drinking skills of homer and the writing skills of homer (ancient greek). Halloween episode with toga/greek homer where he refers to himself as homercles tied the two together nicely. Apparently many others feel the same hence the need for 337. I used to own a GTI 337.

I have been using homercles since the late 90s. Picked up the 337 in late 2002.

I use thse variants for forums, but a very different username for other sites.

 

[Platypus]

Not gonna say here

 

[sobriquet]

It means "nickname." I've also used pseudosobriquet - false nickname - but that's just a bit much. It's easier than thinking of a clever name.

 

[bluestrobe]

My nickname from my volunteer fire fighting days. I think this is the only place I use it. I used my original screen name here when i registered but I screwed up on the email addy and was locked out of it before making any posts.

 

[Aimster]

I created Aimster

....

no I didn't

 

[TangoJuliet]

I drink too much :burp:

 

[IntrinsicValue]

"Intrinsic Value" means a lot of things, but I chose it for its meaning in reference to stocks. I've been using it ever since I've been investing.

Examples of what my nickname means.
