I believe someone asked this question awhile back but I forget and thought I'd write a new thread.

Why do you use the screen name that you have and where did you get the idea for it?

I'm only referring to those of us who don't use our regular names.  
I don't use my regular name (Jamey) as a screen name because my name is a unisex name and 99% of the time I'm addressed as a girl...which I'm definitely not!

I made mine up when I first got my p.c. because I used to have a cat named Ash....hence ASHTHECAT.

Some, such as Feerless Freep are obvious but there are a few that defy explanation like "The Burgomaster" & "Neon Noodle"  (when I first saw Burgomaster's name I kept thinking "Burgermaster" like some expert burger flipper at McDonalds...I pictured some young white wannabe guy behind the grill,  spatula in hand with his Micky D's visor on backwards & upside down dancing to hip-hop and saying "Aww yea yea...I'm da tru Burgermaster!"  Put a nasty mental image into your head didn't I?  Hehe!  No offense Burger...uh...I mean Burgo)  (and Neon Noodle....I picture a giant egg noodle that has been exposed to radiation and glows neon green!...I don't envision a person typing at the P.C....just a giant human sized radioactive egg noodle sitting in a huge bowl of brown beef broth lowering & using the squared corners of it's head to hunt & peck words onto the keyboard...and yes...it's the wavy kind of noodle!)

Or...for those of you that seem to use your real name...are you using an alias to hide your given name?  Just curious.

Why do you use the screen name that you do and where did you come up with it?

The origins of my name could honestly lead to years of debate and speculation amongst me,my family, and my friends.There are basiclly two storys as to why I got the name Wycked Nick. The first is the one I generally beleive is true.Back in high School I had a crazy english teacher.This guy I think honsetly had a screw loose because he would scream, and yell all the time.One of his hobbys was to think of nicknames for people in his class.My nickname for some reason was Wicked Nick, and the name has just stuck.
The next story is generally the one most of my friends believe.Im a fairly good artist, and some of my art work could be called extremly disturbing, I also have a bad temper, and would often snap on people for no reason.Some of my friends claim to have thought up my name either after seeing my art work or after seeing me get pist.
What ever the truth I have gone by Wicked Nick for years, usually my friends shorten it to just Wicked.After playing various wrestleing games I changed the spelling to Wycked.My name has sense become the name of my wrestling charector in real life, which you may eventually start seeing on tv soon.

Dunners, the phrase ' Dunno' gone horribly wrong.

Third. Best. Saturn. Game. Ever.

Old friend of mine coined the moniker after I showed up with a crew cut at school.  "Man, you got a head like a onion!"
The rest is history . . . .

When I think of Onionhead I think of that PS2 game "Parappa the Rapper" where the first level has you training with an Asian martial arts master with the head of an onion!

Remember that one?

My screen name describes me.  Well, almost.  Let me break it down:

Black:
Obviously for the way my skin is packed.

Angel:
For being a nice guy, not for being a saint.  Cause I'm most definitly am not.

I thought BlackAngel was a cool way to think of myself as, and a nice e-mail address.  And another thing my name is Eugene, so don't think that behind BlackAngel is a girl either.
----------------------------------------------------
Bulls**t, I still can't hear you, sound off like you got a pair

Way back when the internet was getting started I was about 10 or 9 (Well the internet was young then) I wanted a cool screen name so I choose Blackeye. Then my brother said that Blackeye would probably have already been choosen. So I tacked on "15". For years that was my screenname until last year when I came here. I wanted to start a post and it said "NAME:" I thought it meant first name so I typed in a variation of my first name (My name is David but I typed in Dave, but no last name:" Then I figurerd out that name=Screenname. The topic I posted became popular so next time I did a topic I tacked "Dave" in front of "Blackeye15" so that people would know it was me from before and now my screenname is daveblackeye15 everywhere I go (on the net.)

Some, such as Feerless Freep are obvious

I use that name because my dad called me that after a few stupid stunts I did when I was very small

I am sorry to say it is too obvious:  My given name is Rebecca.

I am a huge 'Alien' fan.  For years I wore a shirt that said "I want to be Ripley when I grow up".

My brother picked up on that, and started calling me 'Newt'.  

It's the only thing he has ever done, that I liked.

I got "Burgomaster" from all of the old Hammer horror movies.  They always took place in a village and Dracula or Dr. Frankenstein usually had a run-in with the Burgomaster (similar to a mayor) of the village.

One good example is THE EVIL OF FRANKENSTEIN.  The monster breaks into the Burgomaster's house and kills him.

And of course, the holiday favorite SANTA CLAUS IS COMIN' TO TOWN has a character named "Burgermeister Meisterburger."  (No relation to me, however).

And of course, the holiday favorite SANTA CLAUS IS COMIN' TO TOWN has a character named "Burgermeister Meisterburger." (No relation to me, however).

Ironically, that was what *first* came to my mind

I picked Cullen because aliens sucked all of my creativity right out my nose.  They tried to replace it with Cheez Whiz, but they must have used too much pressure, cause the next thing I knew, my eyeballs had popped right out of my head.  Took the better part of the night crawling around the floor trying to find them.  Would have got them sooner, except my crummy younger brother kept tossing peeled grapes all around me.

Small aside: Never put peeled grapes in your empty eye sockets.  They might fit better and all, but the pain's not worth it.

I would have thought the aliens might have helped me out here.  After all, they're the ones what done it to me, as the Bard once said.  But nooo, they're too busy laughing their grey butts off.  How they were able to walk afterwards with their behinds gone is beyond me.

They tried to apologized  later.  Even offered me the secrets to world peace.  I told them to just get the hell out, and take their nasty Cheez Whiz with them.  The nerve, the absolute nerve.

What was the question again?

---

Cullen - who really gets some strange thoughts into  his head.

Must be the Cheez Whiz.

Well, Mine's pretty obvious, yeah?  You've all seen my posts.  I'm just generally a cranky dude.  Especially when I don't get my daily dose of Kraft Mac and Cheese (tm).

I only recently adopted the monkier for use on forums, but it came from a conversation with a friend who said "Eric?  You're a really grumpy guy, you know that?"

BTW...

I have to disagree.

BEST. Saturn. Game. Ever.

and on my all-time top five list for any platform. ;-)

Basically I just use my initials.  It's quicker than spelling out Robert.

MR. HENRY the James Caan character from the wes anderson - owen wilson, luke wilson film Bottlerocket.

mr. henry was a "crew" ringleader who used a landscaping business as a front.

great flick.

Used my first name to post unregistered, someone registered it, I added my last initial and registered that.

And all this time, I thought Mr. Gingrihge(sp) was in this site LOL.
-----------------
Bulls**t, I still can't hear you, sound off like you got a pair.

Eirik is the original Norse spelling of what has become "Eric."  Some people see it and say "Eye-rik," prompting me to give them a lesson in old Norse.  Most people just don't even see the first "i" and pronounce it correctly, which is fine by me.

If anyone is really into music, then you should be able to figure out my name.  Both Ska and Oi are genres of music.  Ska is somewhat a mix of rock (most of the time punk) and reggae.  Oi is also a variation on punk.

If you want to know what I'm talking about, download some of the following bands:

The Specials
Hepcat
The Toasters
The Hippos
Let's Go Bowling


As for Oi, go download some tunes by Dropkick Murpheys!



-=NiGHTS=--I have to say that Nights is one of the most amazing games ever made.  Great choice.


Mr. Henry-Fantastic name!  The Lawn Rangers rule!

"Vermin Boy" was a superhero name I made up for myself when I was eleven. The only mask I could find was of Mickey Mouse, and I figured I'd come up with something more original than "Mouse Man" or "Rat Boy"

Mofo Rising is a pun on Mr. Mojo Risin', not because I love The Doors, but because I think mofo is such a funny word.

In coming up with a theme for the website my friends and I run, we decided on the Brotherhood of Bad Movies and went with a sort of evil monks who are the custodians of b-movies theme.  We all came up with Brother *insert something hopefully clever here* names for ourselves.  Ragnarok is the Norwegian mythology version of the apocalypse.  There you have it.

Brother R

funny you should mention those bands.  i got to see hepcat play here in SF about a week ago.  and DKM is spinning in the CD player as i read your post.

as for my name its just the nickname i picked up while playing hockey in college.  my last name is francis.

Damn, wish I had read this post earlier.....sorry for making you wait, ASH....I am not a radioactive egg noodle, but that opens the door for a few script ideas on the message board, I'm sure....

My screenname has its roots in my psyche. Basically, I am a big kid. I plan to stay young at heart for the rest of my life. In keeping with this, I have been a Looney Tunes fan since I could comprehend speech.

I especially liked any shorts with Daffy Duck (I always thought Bugs was pretty overrated myself). My favorite is "The Great Piggy Bank Robbery". In this episode, Daffy faces off with the Looney Tunes' version of the old Dick Tracy villians. For example, there was Juke Box Jaw, Hammerhead, Batman, Snake Eyes, and so forth.

The one villan that stood out the most for me was a character named Neon Noodle. He was basically a huge frankenstein monster made out of neon tubing. Daffy defeated him by turning him into a "Eat at Joe's" Sign.

ASH, since I am so sad I actually know all the words to this song, as does my wife......I'll only punish you with the first verse....

Kick, punch, it's all in the mind
if you wanna test me, I'm sure you'll find

But nevertheless, you'll get a lesson from teacher
Now KICK

My name is one of the more original names here. Scott is my middle name and I use it because I haven't earned my first name yet.

My name is Eleanor. Ellie for short. Just don't call me late for dinner..haha.

in my post orgasmic state after finding this site not too long ago, in my haste to post on the site i failed to come up with a suitable screenname so i just used my name, and haven't been bothered renaming myself since.

still thinking of renaming it, but haven't put much thought into it yet.  my creative genius has all but been sapped by uni exams.

btw, i love that duck twacy episode.  neon noodle was by far the best villian.

as for brother ragnarok, i really need to get the final fantasy games out of my head, whenever i see the word ragnarok, i always think of the really cool aircraft that you fly around the place in final fantasy 8.  :-P

When I started posting regularly in bulletin boards, about 2-3 years ago, I found myself needing a nick, so I picked the name of the main character from the novel I was reading back then, Richard Matheson's "I am legend". Not that it has any subliminal meaning or that I feel that everybody else is a freak but me (you have to have read the novel to understand this last remark).

Ulthar is from HP Lovecraft - Ulthar is the town where it is punishable by death to kill a cat.

--John

Well, when I first started coming to this messageboard I was having trouble thinking up an alias to go by. I didn't want to use one of my nicknames since most are stupid. So I went with my given name. Lee. For some reason people think that Lee is short for Leroy or Levi or something like that.

whoa you're a guy! I thought this site was crawling with ladies!!

Mine is a shortening of my last name.  My friends started calling me Perk because there were at least five Jason's all hanging around and calling Jason and having five people respond was getting boring fast.  So I became Perk from Perkins.  Also it is a privelige to know me (a perk if you will)

LOL!!! I tend to have a similar problem. I'll be telling a story to someone and have to specify which David I'm talking about.

JAM are my initials, and I love to collect toys.  

Therefore jamtoy.

Comes from the phrase 'argle bargle'. I just liked the sound of it. Thought it had a sort of Don Martin sound to it. The 5 has no significance. I didn't bother checking around when I first got on the 'net  in '99 and later discovered there were already  some other people using it but, I've stuck with it anyway.

My full name is Conrad Robert Soanes Connolly, a bit a pain to type in all the time.  Conrad is shorter.  And it doesn't tip off the watchdogs about what I'm up to during the day.

 Mine is from one of the best bad movies of all time... "Santa Claus Conquers The Martians"!

I simply use the screen name "Velvet Brotha" because it is an inside joke between my girlfiend and I, that dates back to when we first met. Then again, I'm the same fool that posted my entire name all over this forum. : )

Hmmmmm... ASHTHECAT? I picture someone that likes to set  kittens on fire...

By the way, for anyone that cares.... "Velvet Brotha" was simply a rip-off from "Undercover Brotha." Has anybody seen it? I thought it  was pretty funny...

hey my name is taylor and i need help on finding a new screen name...i am a cheerleader...rebel...redneck...and i like stars,moons,horses,and the color purple...  if u can think of some screen names for me that would b great....thanks a lot .....xoxo --me

Nights was a fantastic game for the Sega Saturn.

My older sister used to call me onionhead.  It also was in the Prince vehicle "Purple Rain"
also is a short story, I think.
-Ed
P.S.  I go by Ed, cos thats my name.

AcidBurn comes from my love of the movie "Hackers" , I know it was a chicks handle but I did not like Crash Override or Zero Cool.

Monsterfan, I think it sais it all!!  I love monsters, horror, gore, psychos, killers, thrillers, spillers of blood, demons & devils & dawgs, oh my.

Because it's a cool name.

Wow!
Another one of my threads resurrected from the dead.
Why is it only my threads that this happens to?

wow, 9 months later and i still don't have a cool screen name.

Did you disturb an ancient Indian burial ground?

That's okay, I use my first name too.

Mine is a character name i made up, when writeing letters to the Gary Burbank radio show. I used the name Meatloaf Mike, but some one took that when i got my E-mail account!
I'm still lookin' for the varmint....
So, i took another name from the  "Columbus State Home for the Reality impared", and Hyronimous Flangepart was born! Well, cloned from the DNA of various alien species, actualy....but you get the point.

49 and a Star Trek fan since  age 11......................

Always been interested in Norse mythology with Odinn and Loki being my favorite gods out of the bunch.  I was working at a sh*thole factory until I could find something else when I first moved here 7 years ago.  I got an all white Siberian Husky and named him Odinn and I was telling a guy that I worked with about the dog. When I told him the name, he said it sounded like some kind of virus or something along those lines. So he started coming up with designations for this imaginary virus and the 7 fit with it fairly well. For some reason I liked the sound of it and I've been using it since then for almost all net activity.

I came to this board to ask a single question. I didn't plan on staying, so that's why I'm "nobody." I guess in retrospect I should've picked a better name. :)

I also post as Drezzy sometimes, but I lost the password for that account.

DREZZY:
My nickname in 8th grade, from my friend Twiggz (Jason), was Drezzy. This is because my name is Andrew, with my nicknames being Andy or Drew, and I was feeling pretty dizzy that day, so I was like "dude, call me Drew, okay? I'm feeling way too drezzy today." Just sorta stuck. Now the only people that call me Drezzy are people I know online, and my friend Gina.

DREZZY MAC:
In a few e-feds I've been in, my character was Drezzy MacLeod (as I am actually rather proud of my Scottish heritage, being of the Macci Clan, but MacLeod is the most popular Scottish name), so Drezzy Mac works.

Hi How can I change my screen name and made it better my keep saying that reconnect buddy list !!!

Saint Mort is my performance name when I do my acoustic punk shows (www.myspace.com/saintmort) if ur interested.

The story behind it is basically my teacher thought my name (matt) said Mort because my handwriting is very very sloppy. So I was performing under the name mort and then my friend told me the word saint in it's purest form is "to stand out amongst others" which I totally do so I was Saint Mort, later on I found out it's french for Saint of the Dead much made me like it even more.

Mine's from Beetlejuice from the Howard Stern Radio Show.  They asked him what his name was he said he had 3:
Lester Greene
Lester jr

    but he's a dwarf so they called him Lester1/2jr

Hey I seem to have come into this a bit late huh, but anyway here's the story.  My real name is Hazel, the only nick name I got in school was hazel nut or nutcase, oohhh the hilarity. I don't like being compared to a chocolate bar so they were out.  The obvious screen name is witch hazel, which is true but it sound a bit gothy to me. I chose Zilla cause it is like ma name ( hazel zilla get it) and i lika the movies ie Godzilla.  Plus no one knows if i am a boy or a girl on the net, I see if people can guess by the way i "talk".

ASH is back eh???

Mr. Henry...someone thought this was an homage to a band of the same name...it is NOT.

Mr. Henry was the character played by JAMES CAAN in WES ANDERSON's flick BOTTLE ROCKET...MR. HENRY ran a criminal crew under the guise of a landscaping company called the LAWN WRANGLERS...OWEN WILSON idealized MR. HENRY...MR. HENRY later robbed OWEN WILSON's house...

As several have pointed out, Percy Shelley wrote a poem called "Ozymandias." Combine it with the best lead singer Black Sabbath ever had and there you are.

Mine is from The Exorcist - book, not movie. I use Cleary, whereas in the movie her surname is McNeill.

Crap I didnt even put any thought into mine. I had been looking at a Mad Max site and just went "Master Blaster" that'll work. Maybe I picked the name because after Blaster dies the Beyond Thunderdome really starts to suck. I like to pretend after Max is sentenced to "Gulag" he dies with his dignity, rather than being saved by a monkey and spending the rest of his time frolicking around with a bunch of loinclothed youths. Buncha little movie ruining bastards. Where's Wez and the gang when you need them?

I happened to notice "Rob Phillips" on my birth certificate and decided to run with it . . .

Actually it's the non conformist in me . . . few other use their own name on the web . . .so I do.

Well I have only been on the board for about two days now, but my screen name should be obvious to anybody who has seen the movie 'Zombie' (Dr. Menard). Several years ago, when I started logging onto sites I used the name because I had recently watched the movie and it was easy to remember; unlike my actual name, Bob, which is so difficult to remember (:

i like softball, tennis, and soccer. I love animals. I am really pretty. I love boys. I love food.
