Have you thought about your username?

[AlanKlein]

My parents came up with my username. The problem I have with usernames, is if I want to post a message saying I like your photo, I feel funny saying, "Nice Shot, Wiseguy123." It would be nice if you had your first name at least listed in the signature box.

AlanKlein and I are in the same boat. We didn't pick our user names, our parents did that for us. If I were to pick a user name that reflects my photography ... I dunno ... AlanKlein sounds good.

 

[AlanKlein]

Gary. Don't use AlanKlein, please. I'm in enough trouble already.

 

[limr]

Like others, my parents determined my username, though I chose to only use the initials.

Edit: While I didn't think about it much at all, it seems that people pronounce my username "lemur" in their heads, so I have considered changing at least my profile picture

 

[Buckster]

My name is Buck. I've been call variations of that all my life by friends and family, Buckster being one of the most common.

 

[weepete]

Errrm....mines just my nickname. I'm actually not particularly small (actually it was my mum [who is quite wee] that pointed it out a couple of years back that most of my friends are quite tall. I had genuinely never noticed). So coversations between others when I was a teenager went
"You know Pete?"
"Pete who?"
"You know, errrm... wee pete"
"Oh, aye, I know him."

And henceforth this prestidgeous title was bestowed upon me. It's also quite good to use for a username as its not a common nickname overseas so is normally free.

 

[AdrianBeaky]

Mine actually has a history. I used to work in this photo lab in a drug store back in high school. My manager always made fun of me because I have a big nose so he used to call me Beaker because he said it was a beak, I looked like a bird, yada yada. Joke was on him because I embraced it and used it in various usernames, including my PlayStation network account. How I got AdrianBeaky was from an episode of Family Guy when Peter gets a parrot, names it Adrian Beaky and pretends he's a pirate. Thought it was funny so I replaced Beaker with Beaky as a variation

I deal coke

*snort* - the laughing kind, not the snorting kind.

And don't forget, you had me convinced for month that you were Ms. Snowy until you posted a picture of yourself.

 

[pjaye]

Mine took absolutely no thought whatsoever.

Have you seen my face?
That and I'm pretty good with a rifle.

 

[Dave442]

Picked up a secondhand '68 Oldsmobile 442 convertible as my first car and it stuck around with me for many years. So, even though I sold it, I found that shortening David to Dave and adding the 442 usually gives me an available username.

 

[Derrel]

I was given the name at birth...as was my grandfather back in 1910. It's an olde English name.

Your face creeped me out for the longest time!

 

[rexbobcat]

My username is a family inside joke. In the hospital where I was born and where my mom worked there was a guy named Texasrex (no joke). Along with the fact that my grandmother whom we visited often had housecat/bobcat hybrids that lived on her roof, they just made a little nickname.

My little brother had one too but I can't remember what it was.

You just do not want to know what I was thinking when I chose my username.
