Screen Names
« on: September 29, 2009, 12:39:57 PM »
Good afternoon my fellow chrome domes/ cue balls/ skin heads or what ever you wish to call yourselves, I was wondering why/how you chose your screen names?

Is it a nick name, what you do for a living, your interests or just simply a way to remain anonymous?

As for me many of you may remember that when I first joined this awsome forum my screen name was CanadianHeadBlader, obviously it was because I love the HeadBlade for scalping the dome plus of course I am Canadian, I also for a short period of time went by GearJammer, that is because I am a truck driver, or I prefer to say I am a Professional Comodities Relocation Expert, or Professional Highway Navigational Engineer.

But now I just use my real name, I do so because this to me is more than just a forum, it is like my family and I have grown to trust you guys and feel I do not need to hide the real me.


So What's your story??

Agonizing over what cannot be is an insult to what is.

I feel like maybe I need to answer this..its only appropriate, especially with what I am about to do.  My name is a nick name that actually has my real name in it.  My full name is Joseph Timothy and but on the inside of my class ring they engraved my name backwards...they put Timothy Joseph.  A fellow class mate announced my new name was Timmy Joe or TimmJ...so that is how it came about.

Well it used to be Lophura but I was messing around with settings and found I can change my display name so I did. Mike is short for Michael which is my name.

Mike is my first name and "Koz" is actually a portion of a bastardized version of my last name (I'm Polish and a lot of folks have trouble with the last name).... "13" is the number I wore in every sport I ever played.

My name is Rusty. Rusty Shackleford.  That's how I got my screen name.  I think you all are cowards for using nicknames, or completely false names.  Some of you don't even show your own face in your avatar.

I know you but you don't know me even though I've given my real name, really.  My social security number is 5555555.
You don't know me, but I know you.

Mine is a Sly version of a name I've used on other forums for years - which is itself based on what I do.

Well, as most of you know, my first name is Marshall.  The "D" in marshd1000 is for my last name, Dunston.  Some of you who are my Facebook friends already know this.  The "1000" comes from the fact that my email addresses have this as "med" and "marshd" were already taken.
