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??
-
Sluggo is one of my nicknames, I guess I look a little like the cartoon...
-
nickname
-
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.
-
Well, my name is Rob and I'm bald... however, RobBald just doesn't have the same ring to it as BaldRob does!
-
first initial and last name.
-
First name (sort of), and how am usually shod.
-
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 initials and the year that I was born. I've used it for about 20 years.
-
My initials, grad of Penn State, OBX - Outer Banks N.C.(favorite vacation spot)
-
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.
-
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.
-
Self-portrait.
-
Just something right off the top of my head. Probably going to end up changing it.
-
It's my name David John - translated into Irish. When I was studying I shared rooms with an Irish guy who insisted on calling everyone by their Irish counterpart names, the nickname has just stuck.
-
My last name is Dalakostas and the first is Dimitris so....
nickname=left(lastname,2) & left(firstname,2)
:D
-
Had to pick something and didn't want to use my age-old screen name from other forums. A fresh start, as I want to look ahead. My girlfriend (then would-be-gf and now probably ex) once made me smile saying that my face looks iconic. We were talking about eastern orthodox icons. Professor Melon reads my name ironic.
-
Mine is a lyric from one of my favorite songs. I was in a weird time in my life when i picked this name, and it jsut seemed to work for me.
Misery Signals "In Summary of What I Am"
"I am peripheral movement
I am a figure without form
I am a person seem from a distance
Rebirth to a new life transcribed in wires "

I just added "BALD" (due to the nature of this forum) to my nickname of "BEAR"
-
On other forums I am flyingmonkeypoop. When I first came up with it I was watching the wizard of oz and all the other good names were taken (it was a chicken forum) and I liked to throw poop so I combined the flying monkey's from the movie and poop. Some people take it as monkey poop flying through the air which it could be. But yeah, Mike is my nickname.
I just had to share that with everyone, it makes me laugh

My neighbor's children adopted me as their grandfather when their's died. I have been known as Papa Don for eight years now. All the other neighbors have picked up on it so I guess that Papa Don is really not my screen name.
-
Mine is a little convoluted. Eight years ago, I was looking for a domain name for my website, at the time it was a personal blog. I lived in Tampa, where "VoyeurDorm Dot Com" was located. They launched in 1998, and got grossly popular in the next couple of years. I wanted "GeekDorm Dot Com" as a place where you can peer in and look at the life of a geek. It was taken, so I ended up with "DaveDorm Dot Com" which was a peek into the life of Dave. It sort of stuck, until I took my blog down in 2008.

PigPen is and has been my CB handle for many years. It has stuck with me for years. I have friends I've known for many years and only know me as PigPen.

Better question,,,, How long have they known you?

It's just a reference to my USMC days and my shaved head or pate.
I'm just as wonderful and good looking no matter the name! O:O
(Back me up Magma... please?) :*))

Some of the folks who still call me PigPen have known me for 10 years or more.
Schro, guess it might as well be, huh?

Megalomania, of course.

Hey Tom, sorry to point this out. A thread on this was made a while ago.
http://www.slybaldguys.com/smf/index.php?topic=8607.0
But great that you kept up the spirit of it. O0
I think it's really nice to know why our sly brothers chose their screen names.
I remember at first I looked at a few and thought man did this guy randomly type
in letters from his keyboard or what? ;D
-
aarrggh is the current license plate on my studebaker...................
And i originally got that phrase from my favorite comic strip " Bloom County "
-
I was thinking of a superhero who fights all the evil hairstyles (you know what I mean) with the pure baldness of his shiny chrome dome.

Musta been one of my big headed moments. Self appointed Scottish Ambassador to SBG O:O

Well, at the firehouse, lasagna has always been sort of a specialty of mine and one day someone yelled out "Hey Noodles- when's the noodles gonna' be ready??!"
(https://www.slybaldguys.com/smf/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi717.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fww173%2Fprestonjjrtr%2FSmileys%2FSmiley28-1.gif&hash=c813f5fecf7e7dee47489fcb2d359b8a0897f0f1)
That was about 26 years ago and the name stuck ever since. I'm the captain of my station, so the nickname "Cap'n Noodles" just caught on naturally. When I joined the SBG forum, my screen name was a no-brainer! (https://www.slybaldguys.com/smf/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi266.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fii269%2Ftheogrit%2F1sm395.gif&hash=8ba2e706ca6539dd6007fca9127c3e5ad06a900f)

Also, being sort of a novice cartoonist, I, over the years, have made cartoon characters out of the guys, and whenever a "classic" moment occurs- it usually gets immortalized forever in a cartoon collection of mine called "Noodles Doodles".
-
Mine used to be Baldoug - a blend of Bald and Doug. Then I added an extra "d" for a more grammatically correct BaldDoug. :*)) Then I dropped the Bald part as it wasn't currently accurate. I tired to get "Doug", but apparently someone else had already taken it, hence "|Doug|"
-
Was in the service having a few beers w the guys. A girl walks in , and the guys say there is Judy. I say how do you know her name? It was in large letters across her T shirt. Was then called Magoo till I left the service. :XX
-
A hammerdrill is something I used for years when preparing houses for termite treatments. 376 is part of a former address of mine.
-
Mine is "SUPER DELUXE" and now having a SLY BALD SLICK MELON
A bunch of us SLY BALD guys call each other "SLICK MELON"
-
Mine comes from Ole Miss Rebels, where I graduated.....and my birthday. A pretty boring story, as you can see!
-
My names kenny and kenny57028 is the username i use in most any forum.
-
Well, I am bald. My name is Bob and I am a published mystery writer.
-
I live in Georgia and my head is slick, hence GAslick.
-
Some of my other hobbies (besides barbershop quartet singing) are yarn crafts and photography. Basically your average artsy-fartsy guy here, though prefer the term "crafty". Not only is craftyguy a username I've been using in other forums for a few years, "crafty" tends to go well semantically with "sly" - so there ya go.
-
In our neighborhood, the customary way to refer to the dads is by "Mr. Firstname". So we had Mr. Joe, Mr. Dan, Mr. Steve. And then me, Mr. Ed. I wasn't going to have any of that, whether they know who Mr. Ed is or not.
I have a Ph.D. and so one day quipped to a 12 year old neighbor in response to a Mr. Ed, "that's Dr. Ed to you." Then she called me "Dr. Mr. Ed", and it stuck. It's the first real nickname I've had since like 8th grade, so I've been using it everywhere.
-
in short nickname of sorts. i used to RPG alot and played mage's far to much aka lord'ed the class at one point you could say i was like a GM. i knew all the in's and out's of the class. now i just use it for when people go "Oh Lord" ,"the Lord made me do it" i simply respond sometimes yes i did :P
-
I've been Timmer since college. LONG before South Park. A friend of mine remarked when I was being kinda weird, "You know, he really is Timmer than most." It stuck.
-
Gambrinus is the unofficial patron saint of beer. Funny thing is that 1) I don't drink & 2) I'm not Catholic ;D I just thought it sounded cool 8)
-
My name comes from my given name Rob....and I used to be a bit of a "bedroom DJ"....messing around with friends...making music and whatnot and went by DJ Raz....so over the years it has kinda morphed into Rob-Raz.

My normal username is Snowblind, its my gaming name and its like a second first name for me. I have gaming friends that will call me Snowblind and I'll respond as if they said Brad. Snowblind is just a little tribute to Project: Snowblind, which was the first ever first person shooter so played. So my usual username is just a little tribute to my beginning. (I pretty much only play FPS's now).
I figured since this site is dedicated to being bald, I figured I would go for a more generic name. I actually decided on this name after reading one of BaldBear's posts. If I knew how cool everyone on here I would have gone with Snowblind, but I didn't find out how nice everyone is until I joined.
Bald- because I am, and Bradley- because its my name lol

Jack - my nickname growing up (well still my nickname to my best friends)
