Names we choose

(1/11) > >>

onelovedread:
I notice how often Arcturus is mistaken for a guy. And that led me to wondering how we forum family members chose our 'handles'. For me - 'Onelovedread' - came about because I lived in Jamaica for 24 years before coming to NY. Because I have 'dreadlocks' some of my acquaintances thought I was a rastafarian (a sect who believes that Haile Selassie, the former emperor of Ethiopia [who is now quite dead] is God.)  And Bob Marley who actually was a rastafarian sang that classic 'One Love' so I guess because of my locks and background, the name sort of stuck to me. I am not and never wanted to be a rastafarian, but I do like my 'dreadlocks'. Maybe it's been done already, but for us 'newbies', could you 'guys' share how you chose your names? I think it would be most interesting. What about you guys? What do you think?

AK4:
Yeah i think i started one called "reason behind the name" or something like that.  My handle is my initials plus my three kids initials which makes 4 so you have AK4.

We are

Anthony (me)
Anthony (first son)
Aariyah (daughter)
Anthony (last son)

LOL :D  Dont worry, we call the kids by their middle names to avoid confusion.  Come to think about it, no one calls me by Anthony either but by my nickname Sam.  Crazy.

Dave in Tenn:
Mine is too boring to type out.  Mostly I just wanted to differentiate from all the other David's and Dave's posting.  

We are 1/3 of all English Speaking males, btw.

Lupac:
Sure, Lupac sounded like a kind of werewolf-elf. I don't know. I made up the name when I wanted to post on a forum where no one would know me. (LGMR is my normal forum name.) It kind of stuck after a while.

Ninny:
Hey Dave, one time I was going to tell you that if I added an S to my last name then we'd have the same last name! OR You could take the S off your name and we'd have the same last name! haha!! and do you remember that Dave UK, once right after we started using FaceBook thought that we were husband and wife because he thought we had the same last name! I thought that was pretty cute..so it's good that you are Dave in Tenn and I am Ninny so on the forum there is no mistaking!!  hehe!! ouch!! sorry Dave, I just thought it was cute!  :D I didn't reveal your last name in case it's a secret!! hehehe!!  :-X
Kathy ;)
