Your Username

P-E · 21-10-2006, 18:50

Just wondered the reasoning behind everyones chosen username.......some are obvious some not so.

**Dabhand16** · 21-10-2006, 19:26

Mine's job related.

Soupdragon · 21-10-2006, 20:16

I like my anonymity but my memory is not too hot, I chose this some 12 years ago and have stuck with it since.

ummmmm my usual user name on other forums takes too much explanation and receives some strange comments so i thought i would be sensible this time! lol

My name is Steve Hillman, my username at work is shillman so I reversed it to namllihs

**Sonsey** · 21-10-2006, 20:37

Mine's a nickname given to me by friends.

stevec · 21-10-2006, 22:25

steve c (forgot the space when I registered)

**stepheno** · 22-10-2006, 08:16

First name followed by first letter of surname......boring.......

I've used this everywhere since first getting internet

***Steve*** · 22-10-2006, 10:22

Mine is just my name..

Both Dave and I decided that it would be more personable and friendly of us to use just our names as forum usernames when we set up the site. So thats how they came about.

If you want it changed and there isn't already a 'steve c' registered (I have not checked) drop me a pm and I will do it for you

Raymond is what I was christened (and what my mum calls me when she has a cob on with me

) preffered to be called Ray but when I got to about 18/20 my mates started the Raymo thing and it just stuck so everything that I have a username for gets Raymo

Thanks for sharing everyone.

As for mine I just used the first two letters from what I am called at work (Pure-Evil)

It's what I used when I joined a few sights.........I would use/change it to my name but it was never available.

**Angela** · 22-10-2006, 17:01

Mine's fairly straightforward....it's my name!

Sparhawk · 22-10-2006, 17:08

As some of you already know I enjoy reading fantasy books{Lord of the Rings ect} but one author I have enjoyed reading is David Eddings and I took the name from the main character from one of his stories
