phoenix44 Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 do you like rusty spoons? (if you don't know what im talking about youtube salad fingers) I used to play counter strike, and I choose the nick ρĦǿΣŋІΧ® course there was someone else called phoenix, and i had to battle him for the name. i lost miserably in an awp match, and then practised everyday for months (when CS was cool) and then defeated him (rose from the ashes apparently) and claimed the name ρĦǿΣŋІΧ® its all mine now. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oeminx Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 When I was much younger me and my brother were having a friendly game of not letting the other one type there user name into a console, The name that came up for me was OEminX. So for years that has been what I have used on my consoles and here. PS I like the feel of rusty spoons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barrie Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 Im not very clever and was afraid I may forget my name so instead of wearing a label all the time, I used the name on the box beside where I type so that after I have pushed submit it would remind me of who I am. Now all I have to do is add my address and phone number so I can be taken home OK, I dont like hiding behind non de plumes so want people to be able to abuse me to my face rather than behind a cloak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrienne Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 mines just my first initial a (Adrienne) and dodge (my surname). Given that my location is Epsom its not hard to find me in the phone book if people think about it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaat Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 Years ago I used to regular the yahoo chatrooms. I got into a rather heated discussion with some fool on there who told me I was talking ...well you know the word. I decided to change my name for a laugh, just to annoy the jerk and thought I'd try chat instead of talk, but wasn't allowed so I added the extra 'a' to chaat and finished with the more accepable chit. I logged back in as chaatchit, and had a hilarious night and it stuck. I use chaat now because I'm just to lazy to type the rest. But ... yeah, my name basically means I talk ...

danilada Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 As a 2yr I use to sing this little tune with the words "Laa Laa Boom Boom" repeatively! My name Danielle, I was quickly called dani-lala by family, later down the track friends would try imitate it by calling me danilada. Don't know why but it stuck and I used it for usernames as every-one new me by it and I couldn't think of any-thing else. Dumb Story!
