Rayvin 5223 Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 Just wondering if anyone fancied shedding some light on why they have the usernames they have? I know some of them (Tom, Andrew, etc) are obvious (constellations, right?), but I have to wonder why for instance, we have someone called Christmas Tree. And Ayatollah Hermione (which I think is my personal favourite, certainly if it is indeed a simple combination of an Islamic cleric and Hermione Grainger). There's also a lot of people named after animals which I've not seen before and is slightly bizarre. (Not Fish, but 'The' Fish. Why 'The'?) So for me - it's just a long standing internet alias; it used to be Ravenblade after the video game that never was, but it's morphed over time. I decided that this forum was more 'real' than a lot of others I'd been part of, and that Rayvin would give me a more human sounding edge (in that it could be shortened to Ray if needed). Anyway, just curious (and apparently slightly crazed). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Park Life 71 Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 (edited) Tooj gave me mine. It's after the Blur album. There is another storyline to do with Chez coming up with it first after I made up a name for him...Can't remember now. Fish is called 'The Fish'...Cause it's street slang for a someone who is gullible or easily duped. Fitting really.

Ayatollah Hermione 13869 Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 And Ayatollah Hermione (which I think is my personal favourite, certainly if it is indeed a simple combination of an Islamic cleric and Hermione Grainger). In one. Can't remember where I read it (I'm not that witty) but it made me piss my sides laughing so stole it for here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChezGiven 0 Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 Tooj gave me mine. It's after the Blur album. There is another storyline to do with Chez coming up with it first after I made up a name for him...Can't remember now. Fish is called 'The Fish'...Cause it's street slang for a someone who is gullible or easily duped. Fitting really. Parkmenistan, Parkenstein, Hyde Park Corner, Park Life were all mine in a tit for tat name calling session. Mine is the name of my bar, it's a sports bar with a lot of Newcastle memorabilia called Chez Given. People call me Monsieur Given but my real name is Balthazar.

JawD 99 Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 Actually mine goes back to when I first started gaming online (Quake Online and UT). I kept asking loads of questions which is where the Jaw came from and my name starts with D, which is why its a capital in the name. But also, more simply, as a "Geordie" it sounded like "JawD". After using it for gaming it kinda stuck as a name I used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Gloom 21924 Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 i was just Dan for years on this but everyone said i was a gloomy, miserable git so changed it. The "Dr" was a nod to the Swiss contrarian investor Marc Faber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkeys Fist 42456 Posted January 10, 2014 Author Share Posted January 10, 2014 I joined in a fury after reading a post by Peasepud that made by blood boil. When it got to the User name bit I just looked around the room and saw a Christmas Tree. Had I known I was staying I might have came up with something more exciting, however I quite like CT as well. Im liking the bit that you got wound up and had to have a word , what was it that got your garden hammock to fly off it's axis like ? Had him down as an Ashley apologist http://www.toontastic.net/board/public/style_emoticons/#EMO_DIR#/biggrin.png http://www.toontastic.net/board/index.php?...st&p=924074 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
