When I joined MR back in September, I almost used my real name -- why wouldn't I? But then I noticed almost NO ONE ELSE here was using theirs. I didn't want to be the lone crazy honest person, so I created a fake name.

Gee, Thanks. :)

Aaaaahhh!!!!
A crazy person!!!!
RUN!!!

No but seriously, good for you. It's refreshing to see a REAL name around here. But really, it's just a first name. Are there many people here who have their FULL (first & last) name as their screen name?

Anyone?
 
Er no. 'Another think coming' is the correct use of the phrase. It may come as a surprise. Perhaps I'm showing my age... look it up, you'll see. But anyway, enough of that.


Yes! I learnt something from this thread. Thank you. :)



Adds to spammage:
I only have the one username, but I only attend the one forum. If you listen carefully, you can hear the rest of the interweb letting out a big sigh of relief.
 
I tend to use my current one wherever I can but there's one other that I've used on a few separate forums. I nabbed it here too to make sure no one else got it but so far I've had no reason to be schizo on these forums yet...

I hate coming up with screen names, because you want it to be perfect, original, and possibly sum up who you are. But I knew I'd agonize over it too much, so instead I took the opposite approach and just picked the first random thing that popped up in my head, whether it had anything to do with me or not.

I'm a little embarrassed to say it, but Rojo...

....is the name....

....of the red teddy bear my boyfriend gave me.

There, I said it -- the shameful truth is out there. :eek:

Anyway -- I'd LOVE to know how and why other people come up with their screen names...
I love screen names especailly mine. I've loved it since i was a kid...... Screen say a speciall thing about the person directly or indirectly.

Who else on Earth could possibly think of that screen name anyway?
:p
 
~oOwdubwOo~

I'd use that if not spicyapple. memorable, creative, unique and "Your search - oowdubwoo - did not match any documents." on Google. :)

It's yours if you want it.


oOwdubwOo is taken !!!! i was going to use that ... that was my favorite..:(
 
I tend to just use my real name, but if it's taken (actually, you'd be surprised at how often it's not taken; yay, I'm special, :eek: ) I just put 1142 in front of it.
 
Just curious to see what you guys use on various boards, or AOL Instant Messenger, Im looking for some new ones, and need some ideas, currently this is where im at:

I currently use:

jeff6256
speedemonV12
largeOrangeElf
aLargeElf
FrivolousRadish

I would really like to have:

aPerfectRadish, but its taken in AOL:mad:

I was looking for something that starts with aPerfect....
any ideass?


P.S. If you cant already tell, I like random :D

why not try Aprfectradish?
 
I got the ill communication

I'm DISCOMMUNICATION everywhere I go. 1 or 2 M's depending on the character limit. Always all caps so I can easily spot myself in a crowded list or web search results.
