How did you choose you user name?

[EcclesCake]

I'm often intrigued by username's Abers select. Some it is obvious how they were chosen eg. The Builder and some seem to imply dodgy hygiene practices e.g. LidLicker (no offence LL!).

How did you choose you username and would you change it?

BTW, I'm not from Eccles; it's a play on a family name.

[hellywelly4]

I was called this at school - 60 years ago!

[HowardKennitby]

after months of consideration.

[carrust]

Got mine from a urinal in Germany.

[B00]

Wanted Boo, it was my then dogs name, but it was already taken, so I just substituted the o's for zeros.

[EvianBaby]

I looked around my desk for inspiration. There was a bottle of water with a picture of a baby on it.

I do wish I could change it, I don't really like it and it wasn't supposed to be permanent.

I haven't seen so much of BigDogsWang and Gingerflaps recently, but you could try asking them.

[anneasquith]

i didnt ! a family member did, totally obscure :)

[ummmm]

Disappointed B00...I thought you got it from Monsters inc..

Me, cause I couldn't think of one.

[EcclesCake]

That would explain why I've never encountered Carrust!

B00, I have a friend called Boo; her dad always called her 'beautiful' when she was a baby and it got shortened to Boo and has stuck for 40 odd years.

[cupid04]

I didn't. My daughter did mine.

[BlueScorpion]

Partly from my star sign (although I'm not remotely interested in astrology) & partly from a pastime of ours

[EcclesCake]

Evian, I did similar when choosing a computer password. I then moved desks and things got rearranged.....then had to call IT support :-(

[ummmm]

Lol blue......

[FredPuli43]

The name of my old dog, a Hungarian puli called Fred, with a number added.

[starone]

My husband always said if he came back to this earth again he would like to be called Starbuck, so whenever I see it I think of him, not that I need any reminder, but there you go!

[TheOtherHalf]

My OH used to be on here long before me, and I got involved and called myself TheOtherHalf. I cant really remember what his AB name was. I would like to change it but cant, so Im stuck with it.

[BlueScorpion]

I've just re-read my post & realised how that must sound - "hangs head in embarrassment"

[Old_Geezer]

Self image. Been around too long it seems most days.
No need to change it. It feels right.

[divegirl]

I am of the female gender and when I joined I was diving [SCUBA] loads...sadly not so much of late :0(

[Frank97]

D is the initial of my surname, 97 is my favourite prime number under 100 and the x7 was added just to make it a bit longer.
