Yes
I'm guessing this has been done before (hopefully not recently) but I often wonder how people have arrived at their chosen forum names , some are obvious , i.e its their real name ! some not so obvious (to me at least)

I'll get the ball rolling with rather unimaginative mrgas

A few years ago I used to race enduros and one of the bikes I owned was a gasgas , I signed up on a enduro forum and couldn't think of a username as I don't frequent many forums , and mrgas was the first thing that I though of .... boring I know !!!

so anyway what does yours mean ?
 
Tractor Boy - I support the mighty Ipswich Town. The club were nicknamed the Tractor boys and it suits me fine to use it :thumbs:
 
Big fan of Tears for Fears and love the song "Johnnypanic and the bible of dreams", so being called John, it just seemed perfect.

On some forums I visit, some cheeky so and so, has stolen my username, so have to resort to using Johnnypanicisme.
 
From my Scouting years (25) I was an ADC-CS and had to visit and organise events for up to 150 Cub Scouts so Won-Tolla (as it should be) was a lone wolf who was welcome at any pack (Rudyard Kipling-Jungle Book)
Miss those days badly, but too old in the tooth now! (and a bad back)
 
As a birdwatcher I decided to use a bird name when I first played online games.

Tringa is the genus name of various wading birds such as redshanks (which were the first wading birds I saw many years ago), greenshanks and sandpipers.

Dave
 
It's what I get called in real life :) It's a Scottish abbreviation for George
 
er... I forgot...
 
Cos I'm mad and have 2 pencils up my nose!
 
Named after one of my sister's cats, Outlaw. Back in the day ( late 90s) Outlaw was taken for most email accounts and other web names, so I changed the spelling. It's my "net name" everywhere.
 
Mine is Spanish for Smiling - which is what I try to do in the face of adversity :lol:

32 years of doing archery at all levels (now retired), hence the shooter, 560 part is a max score in a comp in the US where I managed to get the max many times :)
 
When I was pregnant with my youngest i started using Bounty (parenting forum) and as my name is bob (short for Rachel isnt it ?!) and i had a bump I was bobsbump had Tami and changed it to bobsbabes
 
Just a nickname I got from work. Derived from Spike Milligan as I have spikey hair and my name is Neil I got called Spike Neilagin which became shortened overtime to nilagin.
Except now they call me keegan, why I don't know, I don't have a black curly mullet, but the name has now stuck.

I am Kath and I have a ( sorry several) digital camera (s) seems reasonable to me?
 
During virtually every lesson at school, myself and my best mate, Rob, used to write pages and pages of scripts for a radio play featuring a Bee with a penchant for dictatorship called Mustafa Brain; a baddie called The Black Cockerel who was an evil poultry genius; Specialman, a stick man who ran a successful pizza/DIY emporium, plus a whole host of other randoms that peppered the scripts with bizzaro madness. Being a radio play we needed voices so Rob took Mustafa Brain and I took Specialman. The Black Cockerel was just sinister noises we collected on a tape deck from TV. That's why I stuck with Specialman.....

(the potato trooper avatar is just something I like)

Not entirely sure what mine means...:lol:
 
I run a sales team for, well guess who :)

Boring really and screwed if I change jobs lol.
 
'Dinners' is just a play on my surname and has been my nickname since I was about 7 years old.
 
An old lady I know calls me her bright and breezy lass - not sure about the bright bit:lol:

Which album did that come from? I'm a big TFF fan, but mostly of their older stuff, and I've never heard that song.

EDIT: Just checked on YouTube and I see it is from their Seeds of Love album. I'm not entirely sure why I don't have that one, actually - I'll have to be changing that.

EDIT EDIT: Now bought it off Amazon :)

I had a fella from the SWPP forum visit me early last year enquiring if my ezybox was for sale. It wasn't, but I reccommended he look up FITP on here for a cheaper alternative.

"Flash in the Pan?" he said. "I think I'll give that a miss!"
 
First name and initial of last name. I use it on just about all forums because it's easy, and I'm too lazy to come up with anything more imaginative.
