User Names

[Hellion]

I'm very intrigued by the sources of peoples user names. they are a new form of name giving such as house names and boat names and CB 'handles'. Also the fact they obviously having meaning to the person they belong to but the meaning is completely not obvious to anyone else. Not really a question I know but I'd be interested on anyone else thoughts on the subject!

[Luke_Turner]

what can i say lol

[gazzawazza]

My name's Garry, so as a shortened version I get called Gaz or Gazza. My mam (along with others) sometimes extends my shortened name (!) to Gazzawazza. It rhymes, and I happen to like the sort of zig-zag sound of it. It also has a bit of my surname in it.

[Dave Potts]

Hmmm......

[tartanwiz]

Mine used to be Tartanwizard but I've shortened it to tartanwiz. Basically, I'm Scottish and I'm a wizard!

[coggles]

My mum & dad started calling me coggles when I was a baby. Although I have another nickname my husband calls me, I chose coggles.....

[manics_]

Mine is becuase i am a HUGE fan of the Manics Street Preachers... Plus i was very tired when i registed and couldnt think of anything clever.

[simontarling]

um -- its my name -- ive never really used a "handle" im sometimes "sytee" and in the past my mates knew me as nobsack - thats it . . .

[PaulB]

Mine is not as it seems - I am in reality someone incredibly famous

[mother25]

Mine is simple, easy to remember and obvious to those who know I am actually the mother of five children. All grown-up now (allegedly!). I also use another name relating to the number of grandchildren I have, and a third which is appropriate because I live near Blackpool.
