The inevitable "what does your username mean?" pos

[sota]

Might as well get it out of the way early...there are always some interesting explainations.

Ok, me first. S.O.T.A. = State Of The Ark, which relects my love for playing with tube circuits and will also be the name of a small run of unique SE Class A guitar amps I have in the works. That's my story and I'm stickin' to it. Next???

 

[screamingdaisy]

It's a nonsensical lyric from Bush's song Greedy Fly. Sometime in the early or mid 90s I needed a screen name for chatting on an IRC channel or something, and the song was playing. I thought it was neat, and I've stuck with it ever since.

Originally, it was screamingdaisies, but I had to shorten it due to a charicter limit somewhere, and liked the shortened version better.

 

[ned]

Ned as it's my first name.

On other forums I use Ned911 - first plus the model Porsche that I race.

Ned

 

[Erik]

Mine's pretty self explanitory.

 

[cvansickle]

C is the first letter of my first name, Van Sickle is my last name. It's Dutch for "seller of frozen treats from a utility vehicle."

I'm your ice cream man, stop me when I'm passing by....

(My apologies to any real Dutch speaking members who really know what it means!)

 

[boogieslide]

I got sick of using my normal first name initial + last name username (peckhart) that I got dubbed with at work and for some reason used on forums I joined in the last few years.

This board came up the same day I got my first Mesa Boogie, so I had a lot of Boogie on the brain. And I love the sound of slide guitar.....even though I suck at it and rarely play it myself.

Hence, boogieslide

 

[mervgriffen]

When I was in college, I used to dowload lots of uh...."free" software.

I always registered it with Bob Barker as the name and Merv Griffen Enterprises as the company.

Well.....bob barker was already taken as a yahoo account so i used this.



......but my friends sometimes call me Skip Wankman or Senor Mouse......

My real name is Aaron.

 

[ThousandSwords]

I got sick of using "Rayguitargod" Which is what I have for email/otherforums etc. etc. ThousandSwords is the name of an awsome Graveland album and well I have just been using it for usernames here and there.

 

[Knight]

It's the last name of a character from the movie Real Genius.

 

[zerofivefour]

When I was an avid 40 hr a week Quake 2 maniac in the mid 90's living in Honolulu and Going to college. I needed an online Gamers name, after rejecting the initial 5 or 6 that I came up with on my own,(they were lame), I decided I would look around the room and choose one item as the first part of a new name and one from the fridge( i lived in this puny one bedroom apt at the time). I picked up a letter and saw a postal Code of 054, and I picked mustard from the fridge. So for many online years I was known as 054 Mustard, Played interstate 76, Quake 2, Battlefield 1942 etc with this moniker.

Ive since shortened it to simply ZeroFiveFour or 054...

054...

[sonrise]

It's just my way of giving glory where it is due....If someone asks about it, I take the opportunity to tell them about my love for Jesus, and what He has done in my life...

[shaun_kelton]

Just my name. I don't have any kewl usernames. Nothing special. I never really had a nickname...

 

[Atomic.Sheep]

Well I am another gamer. I used to play a lot of Age of Empires II also in the 90s and my friends name was The_Bomb_13 so I thought to have mine be Atomic_Bomb but that was taken so I saw a sheep (its a food resource in the game) and immediately thought Atomic_Sheep. Some sites don't take the underscore so I use the . i.e. Atomic.Sheep on those ones.

 

[mtnb1kr]

My other main hobby is cycling. I started riding mountain bikes first so I adopted "mtnb1kr". I also road ride now. I use this one for everything. So you may see me on a cycling sight too if that interests anyone else here.

 

[Grandor]

My name is Grandor in many of the forums i visit and my user name in lots of other places.

It's just something I made up one day, and It stuck.

My name is of course, a reflection of my love and respect for the music of Rush. I am a true Rush freak....haven't missed a show in 21 years...even flew out of town for the last 2 tours (Vapor Trails and r30). I love chatting or posting about Rush...so if there are any bretheren on board....let's go!

[axwielding1]

What's in a name?
I chose mine for 2 reasons... #1- I keep myself surrounded by guitars and usually have one in my hands.
and#2- Because I have a nasty explosive temper at times, and go on rampages...
ax. :twisted:
