Usernames: How and Why?

**wipeout** · 04-15-2004, 04:49 AM

Hmm why wipeout...
Well I think I was like 11 and had just got a brand new P2 computer (lol shiny) and I had no clue what a good alias would be, nor did I care then.

So I gave a quick look around the kitchen where my PC at the time was and saw a cleaning product called wipeout. I went wow that sounds cool and it just kinda stuck for all theese years.

Little did I know that everyone would think they were origanal and manage to dis my name by saying wipeass. Just because I pwn you in CS or CZ does not give you the option of dising you sissys. Meh its gotten so old now it has grow to be a common shove off dis. Unoriganal bastards, they myaswell just dis my momma for the damage it does to me lol.

Mine comes because i am a big Ferrari fan and since evryone calls Rubbens, Rubinio, it sounded cool, but i prefer it typed Rubbinio. Looks better to me.

**jammin411** · 04-20-2004, 11:02 AM

I was about 14 when I came up with mine. I was trying to sign up for a yahoo chat account. I actually put in Jammin and of course that was taken. Then it suggested to add the 411 to the end of it. I thought that was cool as 411 stand for info also. From then on, everything I have tried to sign up for it has been available so it stuck. I use it for nearly everything except my website username. I figured anyone who knew me would figure that out way to quick

So if you are ever playing a game or chatting and see Jammin411 show up. It is probably me. Be sure to say HI

**chachi** · 04-22-2004, 06:30 PM

Chachi..well, I am not sure exactly when I started to call things, "chachis". But, it took quickly with me and my friends. So, soon enough I became chachi...well, not in real life, but to my friends. I try to get it when I register in a new place, but sometimes another chachi has beat me to it. I have gone by chachi_sd as well...for San Diego. But, I am no longer down there. Boo hoo hoo.

Of course, after a couple of years, the name "Priss" had become popular, and oftentimes it was taken, hence the name "Prissed".

So was Priss one of the Knight Sabres? And is she anything like your profile say's? I think that would be an interesting piece of entertainment for my collection....LOL

I chose Metal Messiah as I like heavy metal, and Judas Priest has a song called Metal Messiah on the "Demolition" album. My signature comes from a song called Electric Eye from the album "Screaming for Vengeance"..…again Judas Priest.

**FixItMan** · 04-26-2004, 02:30 PM

Hi All,

I'm new to the site and thought I'd say hello to every one

I use FixItMan because my children kept calling me Bob the builder as I'm normally the one everyone calls when there computer breaks

but thought I might tread on someones toes regarding the copyright issues so I chose FixItMan, and I seem to be our estates unofficial IT man

**jazzee** · 04-27-2004, 04:48 PM

Mine name comes from a friend of mine she has a daughter and her name is Jasimine. I like it and I am kinda sick of the old one so I use it sometimes. By the way I am new to the forum and I thought I would say Hello.

**Aleema** · 04-27-2004, 10:23 PM

Actually, Aleema is my birth name. The screen name I use is MASelphie. It's odd, haveing 3 captial letters in a row. But there actually is a history behind it. And I've grown so attached to it that I only use Aleema for formal/professional forums.

My nickname is MAS, and it actually stands for Much Adored Selphie. Selphie is a character from the role-playing game Final Fantasy VIII. I visited a site called "FFVIII Sucks" and I posted in the guestbook (which really acted like a message board) as Much Adored Selphie to both portray myself as a character from the series (very newbish, I know!!) and to express my loyalty to her and the game. Then ...some called me MASelphie, then MAS ... and it stuck.

I hear people pronouce my nick as "mass" (as in an object's mass), but its really a short 'a' sound, like "moss", but more ... A-ish. o_O
