I raise sheep and was trying to think of a User-name....hence Eweser.

Gitmo

Gitmo was what they called me in the Marine Corps. It’s short for Guantanamo Bay Cuba and Gittins my last name. I don’t remember how it started

Lucifer

I was Prince of Darkness on the old board, but after the server crashed and everything was wiped out, I tried to re-register with that handle, but the system wouldn't let me (I guess someone else beat me to it or something), so I did Lucifer instead. I think it's a cool name.

Will = me, Ravel = Maurice Ravel, my favorite composer. Used this sn on AIM when I was in HS and it just stuck.

Craven Morehead

Really? Some people have stories behind their handle? No shit!!!

Stare At The Sun

I'm something you don't want to do.

Bill O'Rights

Hmmm...as a pick up line, that could go either way.
They'll either take you at your word, or take it as a challenge.

Leto

hot damn! It's amazing at what we find out about each other on this board. I too had a classical education, never thought anybody would pick up on the Hellenistic aspect of the name (although I did get a nice note from Amonkie who is a Dune fan as well).

Soo.. what is the source of your handle Charlatan?


-- Willravel, thanks, you made me read your handle carefully. Up to now, I've been reading it Will Travel... By the way, i've logged the Bolero as one of my fav intrumentals in another thread.

I signed up with this name because I was just going to look at the boobies and it didn't matter what handle I had. Then I stuck around and still have this unoriginal one.

Pip

It's one of my old nicknames, and it has nothing to do with "Great Expectations" at all.
The only reason I have that Pip in my avatar is because Ioan is hot.

Charlatan

I'm pretty sure I've posted this elsewhere but since you asked... Back in the early 90s I started using the name Charlatan while I was browsing BBSs. It comes from two places.

The school paper at Carleton University was called The Charlatan... and my best friend would often shout out, for no apparent reason, "Baudelaire! Charlatan!" We were ususally drunk or high at the time so it was immensely funny.

Nothing too outrageous there...

snowy

Oh, I so agree.

Personally, I love this little owl here:


but didn't want people confusing me with this Hedwig:


as I knew was likely to happen. Therefore, I became onesnowyowl. Or snowy, as most people refer to me. As I have some characteristics commonly attributed to owls (nocturnal, preys on small animals, intelligent, sharp claws) I find it to be a most appropriate name.

Sage

Because my Second Life name was Sage Beckenbauer (holy lord I'm such a geek)

This was around oh, a year ago, and I thought Sage was a nicely sexy without being overused sort of name.

Hence, I became Sage, because I liked the name. I never even thought of the "Sage= old wise person" until about three months later

zz0011

This is still to being very much fun to me.

zz0011 -- When I first was coming online on another service [Which?] I tried several combinations of obvious [my first name, etc.] and less so [things I thought were cool] and wow did find out quick how late I was to the game. All the good ones were gone. In a moment of frustration, I simply wanted to find something no one else had, nor would be likely to choose. Now I use it for most things [although I use my real name on a few sites to help me manage what I'm getting from whom in my email].

Yah, y'all can yawn now. Twice. Boring.

Keep it coming folks. Fascinating insights. Well, except for something stupid like "zz0011"...

Menoman

My first internet provider was AOL (I was young and dumb!)

Me and my friend were setting it up and we wanted to think of a name that the AOL lady(who hears tons and tons of these names every single day) would find funny.

If you can impress someone who'se job is to listen to usernames, that's pretty good eh?

So we came up with Menopphair, first glance it's like "Me Nop Fair" but when she asks me to spell it :P " Me No PP Hair" Needless to say it got her to chuckle so I won the day on that one.

After awhile it got boring so I changed it to Menolithoro when I started to play Everquest, "Menolithoro Drakenite" Then after awhile I got tired of people pronouncing that one wrong (to me it's pronounced "Me No Lee Thor O" but some people wanted to say it as "Meh No Lith Oro"

So I changed it to Menoman, I still use Menolithoro for gaming though.


People will pronounce Menoman wrong though, Me No Man! NOT Meh No man!

Was watching a Mets game at the time, and flashed on good 'ol Marvelous Marv Throneberry. He of the less-than-stellar fielding ability. One of my favorite incidents was the time a little girl at some dinner wanted an autograph, and tossed him a baseball to sign.

Which he dropped.

Tspikes51= Takeo Spikes, #51. He played for the Bengals a while back and the name just stuck. That being said, my gaming handle is Number1Dad. I don't have any kids, but there's an inside story about that (aside from the one I got from battle.net talking about how it was "fun fuckin' fathers").

someone once (and still does) call me his Muse. He is a song writer and I guess I am inspiration for him when he falls on rough times. I am an artist and always personally strive to inspire and encourage people to be their best as much as i can. I added part of my real life name into my favorite name of any muse and thus its stuck.

The Devil's Interval, is it not?

Mine's my universal internet handle, so I don't have to keep track of 50,000 different usernames. Comes from a cartoon I used to draw when I was 17.
