What does your screen/forum name mean?

[Chewy]

OK I'm sure many of us have wondered why we pick the names we pick right?

So here's the thread to explain yourself.

Mine is a play on words. fourgasem Sounds like orgasm which is the plate I have on my Vmax which happens to be a V4. I got the inspiration from a Car & Driver from several years back when they tested a bunch of 4 banger sport cars.

[Chewy]

That was my former job. i trashed my back and can't dive any more. Me too! Burst disk! Back surgery and all...

Oops... Hijacked me own thread...:loser:

[GRRRR8]

Well I wanted it for the license plate for my car, didnt happen and look what ended up happening. I would say it has been GRRRR8!

[Blackdevil77]

Blackdevil77. No reason, just made it my gamertag for Xbox back in the day and just stuck with this name for everything. I gotta get my license to say BLKDVL or something lol. The car is panther black so it fits.

[G8H8]

G8H8, I have been very well known in the sport compact community. When I started talking about the G8 all I was getting was people hating on it. Thus G8H8!!!!

[GRRRR8]

I encounter a lot of haters too! Then I make them really HATE!

[insainiac]

Insainiac was one of the characters in the movie Small Soldiers.....then we had a pet named that (the kids named him) that was just a name we started using for screen names a long long time ago when we had the pet and the movie was popular and it has just stuck....so really doesn't make sense since I am not a soldier and believe it or not in am not insaine!

[JoeSyko]

Used to be really into first person shooters back in the DOOM, QUAKE, DUKE NUKEM days. When I played online, my tag was GIJoeSyko. I shortened it to JoeSyko when I needed a forum name.

Btw... My name is Don for those who were wondering.

[Joe Weinstein]

My tag is a secret flag used to identify members
of the cabal that rules the world banking system.

[bwooten492]

Bwooten492 = Brian Wooten and 492 is my motocross racing number

[BlueJacket]

I am a season ticket holder of the Columbus Blue Jackets. BlueJacket is never taken on boards so I alway use it and most people have no idea what it means. The only place I do not use it is on the hockey board I go to.

[DollarBill]

I love money!!!

[MtbDoc]

For many years, my primary recreational pursuit was mountain bike racing (mtb). In a couple of internet communities, I actually became somewhat of a guru as a racer and coach. The doc comes from my profession!

I have used mtbdoc as my handle virtually everywhere on the internet that I go.

[13 QTR]

was my tag on my srt-4 for 4 years...referring to what it ran stock. It ran 11.8's after I was done,but people would see the tag and think they could beat me....nope. I keep the tag for the G8...just hope to be able to get it in the mid to low 12's....

[pe63807]

"pe63807" is my Ohio professional engineer's license number. I have plates on my '01 Camaro SS that have this.

[MANOFSTEEL69]

I was in a bad motorcycle accident when I was in high school, and flew 200 feet through the air at a height of 10 feet....So I was dubbed Superman......Hence man of steel, and I was born in 69. Peace!

[99-LS1-SS]

I had a 1999 Camaro SS. For those that aren't familiar, it had an LS1 in it.

[G8V8]

I have a G8 and it's a V8.

Sorry. just being a wise a$$.

[DolomiteG8]

Dolomite is the name of a sedimentary carbonate rock and a mineral, both composed of calcium magnesium carbonate CaMg(CO3)2 found in crystals.

I'm not a rock nerd. That was taken from Wikipedia.

I'm a big Futurama fan. Dolomite was taken from a phrase that was used by Profesor Farnsworth regarding Fry's fosilized dog in the Jurrasic Bark episode.


Professor: "Not necessarily. For the dog may yet survive."

Fry: "May yet? Really!?"

Professor: "Indeed! You see, that fossil was made of dolomite, the tough black mineral, that won't cut out when there's heat all about! By contrast, observe the lava's effect on this ice swan!"

The Professor opens a freezer door and takes an ice swan out in a pair of tongs. He holds it over the lava pit and it melts within seconds.

Professor: "Of course, that would have melted even at room temperature! I just wanted to get rid of it. But had it been made of that righteous mineral dolomite, there's a slim chance it might have survived."

Fry: "So Seymour might still exist?"

Professor: "Perhaps, for a few minutes. It's dolomite, baby!"


Add the G8 and you get DolomiteG8. :)

[GeorgeInNePa]

My name is George and I live in the Northeastern part of Pa.

[caretaker]

Long, long ago, and far, far away, a young lady told me
she saw in me a very old soul, and that I was put here to
take care of something of great importance, thus "caretaker".

To this day I still haven't figured out what it it I'm supposed
to take care of.

My real name is Reg.

[ChipC]

Mine means that I was too lazy to change it from my email address.

Also known as "R. who gives a flying sh*t Penguin."

I also happen to be a short, fat flightless waterfowl that smells strongly of rotting herring.

And proud of it! :p

[goatboy2006]

on another note, I am a middle aged car dude who cannot remember much (early stages of Altzheimers) except that at one time I had an 87 Monte Carlo SS, and that my name is Todd, Or mabey that was my neighbor...

[BMWHunter]

Used to be really into first person shooters back in the DOOM, QUAKE, DUKE NUKEM days. When I played online, my tag was GIJoeSyko. I shortened it to JoeSyko when I needed a forum name.

Btw... My name is Don for those who were wondering.

My brother was a legend years ago in Quake for his mods (software utility programs that created advanced capabilities, such as weapons). His screen name was MajorBitch.

My name came from a buddy who said, after he found out I was getting a V8 G8, "what are you going to do, hunt BMW's? I thought for a second and said, "Yeah".

[LDV60]

Mine's from my licence plate on the car.
It's a play on initials of my wifes name and my name.
Her first initial. L. My first initial. D. (any was her maiden name initial also) and our last initial. V. and of course 60 as it's a 6.0 litre engine.
It's not an easily understandable personalized plate but it works for us.

[MtbDoc]

It appears that WAAAAAAY too many people on this forum have been smoking them little left-handed rolled smokes with the funny stuff inside.

Personally, I am offended to know that I am associating with known drug users. Please don't tell my mother...

Excellent thread, and screen names, I was wondering if anyone would ever think of asking! LOL!

Ok, here I go..E.C. Ryder

E: Excellent
C: Conundrum, a puzzle or a riddle designed to test for lateral thinking
Lateral thinking is about reasoning that is not immediately obvious and about ideas that may not be obtainable by using only traditional step-by-step logic.

in high school, i was trying to be clever and come up with a AOL Instant Messenger screen name that was different and described me. At the time, when every kid was into rap and being a wigger, i considered myself a cracka! so thats what i went with. thought it was genius at the time...

[Slizzo]

Name doesn't mean much, was given to me by a couple of buddies while I was on R&R to Qatar from Iraq in 2003/2004.

I suppose he just was playing on the current fad of "speech" pioneered by one "Snoop Dogg". :) (My last name is Sleight)

[MoonPie]

Eyemuffs: was lambasted for using FAH-Q as a screen name on another forum, figured Eyemuffs wouldn't offend anyone. I guess telling the real story isn't as entertaining as the made up version...

[TY2185]

The last four digits of my Typhoons VIN. One of the last to be built.
I've had it for that last 10 years. My Uncle owned it before I got it from him.
I hope to own it until my son graduates from college. Then it's his...I hope that the way it goes.:)

[IcePickFreak]

I could tell you, but I'd have to... show you.


It's just a song, my regular handle was taken a few years back (Kyuss, which was after a band, go figure) so I needed to come up with something else and this song happened to be playing. Since then I've adopted it just to keep it the same everywhere. Actually I think the only place I'm still somewhat active with my old handle is LS1tech.

[sweetair]

I am a dentist, and another way to say Nitrous Oxide (N2O2) is Sweetair due to it's partial sweet taste.

[MoonPie]

We CAN change that for you... I like FAH-Q better too! :)

Well, thanks for the offer. I wouldn't mind having it as a screen name on the other board, but I like this board and the people here are much more civilized so I'd hate to have a person see my screen name and feel offended, especially someone just visiting. As for the other place, can you change it there...?:D

[wyldman]

Just a tag a friend gave me along time ago when we used to play RS and Battlefield 1942 and then Desert Combat. I think it has more to do with my last name than anything else because I'm one of the least wild persons you will ever meet, although, there was this time with these twins...

[Panzer Leader]

Panzer is the German word for Armor. Lead tanks, hence Panzer Leader. Some people think panzer is German for tanks but it is not. [B][I] "I love the smell of my G-8 in the morning, it smells like victory."[I][B]

Thats really cool. He Played with greats like Joe Perry and also wore #92
Lowell Wagner (1949-1953): Wagner was with the team in its last year in the All-America Football Conference and then the first four years in the NFL. Although the team struggled a bit early on, Wagner was a highlight, snagging 31 interceptions in just five full season with the team.

[incon3037r]

Incon3037R - because before my G8 I drove a turbo charged 96' Nissan 200sx that ran a Garret GT3037r dual ball bearing turbo from a Incon twin turbo Ford F*ckstang kit. The turbo was a oil and water cooled ball bearing turbo with a TO4B Compressor housing with 56 trim T04S compressor wheel. 55lbs/min air flow,.86 A/R T2 exhaust housing with 84 trim GT30 turbine wheel. For such a small turbo it was capable of supporting over 550 hp. This turbo was great on the street. Spooled fast and put down 421fwhp/375ftlb on a 122 cubic inch!!! 4 banger with supporting mods.

[GT G8]

Not sure how my name came about...

....just thought that the random combination of GT & G8 sounded right.

[Wag 42]

Thats really cool. He Played with greats like Joe Perry and also wore #92

Thanks for that. Yes, Joe Perry, Y.A. Tittle, Hugh McElhenney, Leo Nomelini and many others. He actually played for them in 1955, got hurt after one game, which was his last and 6th year w/them. His best year was 1951 where he had 9 interceptions.

He also played 3 years for the New York Yankees of the AAFC, which was owned by the part owner and president of the Yankees baseball team. The AAFC (all american football conference) dispanded at the end of 1949, and many teams merged into the NFL.

[WARLOCK]

I figured I would just throw this one out there for shits and giggles. everyone on here has a screen name/ handle. some are, well obvious, some not so.. So where did your handle, or screen name come from.
For instance..

WARLOCK - This is actually my screen name from when I used to play battlefield 1942/desert combat online many moons ago. I was in two clans over a two year period. SUB-MOA was my other handle. My highest online rank was like 14th overall as SUB-MOA..
I also use WARLOCK on HPtuners forum, as well as on Intense's 3800 pro forum. which I have not been to that site since i before i got the g8.
I think i also use WARLOCK on a couple of gun forums i used to frequent but couldnt say. my memory isn't what it used to be before becoming a nurse. all that cool useless shit has been replaced by foley catheters, iv's, and lab values. :puke:

so whats in your name?

[OmahaGTP]

great thread! I've been on so many forums over the years with various names. I got tired of trying to figure out what username goes with what forum, so I kept it simple. My name is Nathan Fajkus, plus I joined in 2009.

[Old Cop]

I think we should wake this thread up.

[Eidolon]

I think we should wake this thread up.
I'll be happy to lead off in that effort.

I actually got this nickname from a friend, way back in high school around 2000 or so, who told me about this really cool word another friend had told him about. "Eidolon", a Greek word that meant "shadow". I agreed, it was cool! So I started using that as my handle when playing Perfect Dark against him on the Nintendo 64. Good times. When I started getting involved in this crazy thing we call the Internet, I took the nickname with. It is Greek, but actually means "phantom" or "apparition" and is pronounced "aye-DOHL-uhn".

If I can't get this nick on a board, I'll use "Eidolways" instead. It's a play on the phrase "idle ways" using the first half of "Eidolon".

My real name, meanwhile, is Kevin. So the nick has nothing to do with my name or any other real feature of my life. :)

[christiancoach]

Most people think my first name is Christian. It is actually Tony. My screen name is actually what I do for a living. I am a Christian Life Coach (www.thechristiancoach.com).

[I12XLR8]

Mine's pretty simple I think...my wife has always liked seeing XLRB (accelerate) imbedded within license plates of sports cars. When I started seriously looking for something with power her two suggestions were - 'keep it cheap' (not really a suggestion), and make sure XLR8 is in the license plate somewhere. After MANY different tries with the MTO (our DMV) I12XLR8 was available. It means 'I want to accelerate' which pretty much sums it all up.

EVERY time someone stares at the plate in confusion I tell them to sound out each character separately and I always get 'I twelve accelerate?' ?!?!?! Guess I didn't make it simple enough..;-)

I used it as the forum name because at the time I was unaware that talking about racing on a forum could get me into trouble - so using your license plate is not recommended. That is no longer a problem as I only ever race in Alert (great air there ;-) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alert,_Nunavut

[Napalm]

Interesting.

[Napalm]

It's from a line that made me famous years ago. And on some of the first BBs I went on I could only use so many letters.

I have used the name every since.

For those still confused, I am actually Robert Duvall.

[Napalm]

sadly though 5 people on this forum know full well that ain't true.

SO here goes.

Back in HS I set fire to a wall with a paper clip (real macguyver type stuff),

Kid was sticking the paper clip into the wall outet and getting shocked I took it from him, folded it differently put in in a pencil eraser and plugged it in, it arced to the wall which was an old cardboard partition covered in shag carpet, this took down the fuse box in the building and ignited the wall on fire, so to speak

Meanwhile one of my Band geek buddies yelled out NAPALM. and thus a nom de guerre was born.

[Todasi]

Mine's from the 90's, I was building Hondas and racing, when I got sponsored by Toda Racing, so, since I was racing a Honda Civic Si, and Toda gave me all their parts, I became TodaSi, and like all things it just stuck. Totally meaningless now, I could change to my nickname, all my friends call me Tugger...not sure why, Its not like I've ever been caught "tuggin"!

Maybe I'll just keep TodaSi....

[dblott]

CB handle-
Dad's high school and Airforce nickname was Zero, since our last name is Ott. It became his C.B. handle. (Still is I'm happy to say). When I started working in the woods, everybody called me Zero Jr., until someone came up with Double Ott, and it's been that for 25 years.

[...Mark...]

Um, it's your sister's boyfriend's father in-laws name
