How did you choose your Username?

danlisa · 10-25-06, 03:44 AM

Just for fun....

Mine was an easy choice. I had to have one that the wifey could remember (she's not computer friendly, Bless

) so it's my first name + hers. Not original but easy to remember.

How did you decide on your username?

Kaleun_Saxi · 10-25-06, 03:49 AM

Mine speaks for itself, too.

I play a submarine commander, so my military rank is Kapitaenleutnant, in short Kaleun (usual German abbreviation). My last name is Sachse (english Saxon), my nick name is Saxi, that makes Kaleun Saxi

Ah, I see you like Tin Tin. I used to love reading those.

Well, I am more into Walt Disney's Donald Duck, really. I haven't read much of Tin Tin (I prefer Tin Tin the DJ instead

), to be honest. But I found that image and really like it. It fits to "der Alte", als most Kaleuns were named in WWII by their crews (hence "Das Boot").

I chose mine when I volunteered at my local Free Geek, a computer recycling center that's been hugely successful here in Portland, OR. I did their "adopt-a-computer" program, where you work 24 hrs (not all at once!

) and in return they give you a refurbished computer, called a Freak Box, loaded with Linux (Debian with KDE). Thus "geek" is a badge of honor.

I've been a puter "geekette" since 1995 and it seemed logical to choose shegeek72. No, 72 is not my age!

I chose mine because I enjoyed as a kid the novel 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea by Jules Verne and this being a sub sim forum thought it quite appropriate. I half expected it to be taken already when I signed up but was lucky.

Mine has been my standard online name for a quite a few years. I chose it randomly. I was signing up for a message board and grabbed one of my dad's tapes beside the stereo (recorded off his Vinyl) and it happened to say P Funk - Motor Booty Affair.
Since then I have actually become a hell of a Funkateer.

Funk on Afronauts.

ICX = I C(see) X(target)

As a hunter I always see a target everywhere

aergistal · 06-23-10, 02:04 PM

dead thread, I command you to live!

It's pretty interesting, really...

I chose mine from a classic sci-fi novel by Gerard Klein, "Les seigneurs de la guerre" (The Overlords of War). Aergistal is some kind of space-time anomaly where battles are perpetually fought, a game played by beings close to gods.

Sort of like we do with war games, but on a much bigger/deadlier/bug free scale

Biggles · 10-25-06, 12:58 PM

Guess what? I've been reading the "Biggles" books by W.E. Johns. I love those books, and I like to use a name which isn't very usal. (in a subsim forum

)

Dowly · 10-25-06, 01:00 PM

My username came while I was playing Day of Defeat years ago. I just picked it, ´coz it sounded good. I just realised few months ago that it actually means something. :rotfl:

Kaleun · 10-25-06, 01:03 PM

Because on a subsim, it's my job (commander) - kaleun on a U-boat

mr chris · 10-25-06, 01:06 PM
