What's the story behind your user name?

[weepete]

Well, my name is Peter, and that got shortened to Pete when I was at school. I'm also not that small being 5'7" which is just a shade below average here but nearly all my good mates were pushing 6ft or taller so the conversations went like this:

"You know Pete?"
"Errr...which Pete?"
"Ach, Wee Pete"
"Oh aye, I know him!"

Plus it has the benifit of a Scottish colloquial prefix so not being taken on a lot of forums.

I am not really a horse, and I have never been in war.

I do however feel like, how I imagine, an old warhorse feels like.

Mine is my first name. It was my grandfather's first name, and my father's middle name. It's an old family spelling of an old English name. My name is often misspelled; there are eight ways (at least eight) to spell my first name. Darrel, Darrell, Darrol, Darryle, Darryl, Darrol,Daryle, and Derrel.

This is my brother Derrel and this is my other brother Derrel.


Mine is an old Nordic word meaning "he with plush beard and much prowess in the bedroom."

So you're a viking interior decorator?

Besides the incredibly obvious (and the fact that I've posted Mini Cooper pics before), my son is named Cooper. We got him before we got the car.

And the other obvious is cooper wont always be mini but minicoop with always be mini no matter where she goes or eats. unless you chop and weld a Limocoop in.

[Dagwood56]

Mine is the name of one of my beloved felines, plus the year I was born. As simple as that.

 

[Newtricks]

Got a d-SLR thinking how different can it be from using a film camera. Felt like an old dog needing to learn...

 

[vimwiz]

I am quite nifty with vim, the text editor, hence vimwiz.

 

[Rick Waldroup]

I have pretty much always used my real name. Has there ever been a thread about people's avatars? How and why they chose the one they use? That would be interesting.

 

[Braineack]

Only a Braineack could misspell Brainiac.

I've used sm4him ever since the internets began. :lmao:
Well, at least ever since I started needing usernames on the internet--emails, bulletin boards, forums--I'm almost always sm4him. If that's taken, which isn't often, I bust out the serious creativity and go with sbm4him!

My name is Sharon Monett, and I'm a Christian...I'm "for Him." It seemed MUCH more clever three decades ago.
