origins of your answerbank usernames

[pingping]

so, we all have weird an wonderful usernames on this site - how did you choose yours, and what does it mean?

i'll go first: my boyfriend always says that i make lots of random noises, so one day i said 'ping ping' to him several times, and he now calls me that as one (of my many) nicknames.

[natalie_1982]

Bet you can't guess how I got mine!

[scoobysoo]

I mis-typed Scooby Doo!!!

[BillStickers]

I will be prosecuted!

[sam100]

i was unimaginative so its just my name and a random number....

[pennyb04]

mine is unimaginative also, and as a beginner many years ago I needed something I would easily remember so I chose my name and the day of the month I was born - easy!
I've become quite attached to it now though - how sad is that?!!

[Loosehead]

My rugby position!

Bill Stickers is innocent!

[BillStickers]

Thanks Loosehead, but they'll get me yet, you see if they don't!

[jake-the-peg]

I take it you're keen on lace!

[frilly]

Erm!! lace... nope! thats not why. Guess again lol.

[luna-tic]

I think "LouKnee" was already taken so my name was really a silly play on words and I have an interest in all things celestial.

[pingping]

i thought your name was more to do with asylums that astronomy luna!!

[luna-tic]

Thanks pingping, I thought your name was something oriental or you could of been a brilliant table tennis player.(That was before you said what it was about at the top of the page).

[pingping]

i wish i was a good table-tennis player, but i'm not endowed with any sporting prowess! nor am i oriental alas (never know - could look like lucy liu if i was), but good ole Welsh!

[Llamatron]

Many years ago when I discovered QuakeWorld all the other players had stupidly macho names like Killer and Reaper even though they were greasy pimpley nerds like me. Llamatron was just a pi55 take but I've used it and my other choice of LemonTart ever since.
