Where did your username come from?

[daverave999]

Some of them are obvious, but some intrigue me.

Mine stems from 1997 (I think) when I signed up for my hotmail account and was astounded to discover that I was not the first daverave on the internet. Rather than daverave138 or something equally unmemorable, I went with 999.

So, what about yours?

[TJCoro]

:whistle:TJCoro IS my name.

:eek: Are you saying Daverave999 is not yours?? :hmmmm:

Well blow me down, mates:willy:

Names TJ, TJCoro :shocked:

[Robusto]

I like pudgy, delicious cigars which are not too long and not too short. :biggrin1:

[emeraldisle]

Morning guys,

My username emeraldisle ties in with what people describe Ireland to be ie green like an emerald and isle as in island. Hope that clears up my user name choice.

However these days people are not going green with admiration rather red with rage if you notice the strikes in Dublin lets say.

Gabriel

[cj121]

I went for the simple combo of first two initials of my name and house number:boring:

[cohibaIV]

My top choice cigar.....:cowboyic9:

[Drewmidorn]

My studio nickname in the states was Drew (I'm actually an Andrew and most call me Andy) and because of my cigar love it ended up being drewmidor (you see what they did there? very clever)... and then it became drewmidorn... but i don't know why. lol

My main squeeze still calls me Drew.

[Gary]

My mother gave it to me :biggrin1:

"Main squeeze" I love it.

I was extremely un-inspired and just as my parents (both) left me.

[e-rayz]

My name is just a name I made up for playing reversi / othello online. The aim of the game is to erase all the other players peices on the board so its just a play on the word erase. Quite nerdy and boring realy lol

[TJCoro]

My mother gave it to me :biggrin1:

:thrasher:Mr. Larry Dude...I actually like "Theharrylarrysputnik" It has a nice rhythm to it.:flute:

...and if you put a "Mr." it front of it, then you've really got something. :thumb:

:hmmmm2:On second thought, skip the "Mr," it F :censored:s up the flow.


Well, anyway, that what I think, Mr. Larry :eyebrows:

Names TJ, TJ Coro, at your service.:bandit:

[Olls]

Mine's also just my name, shortened a bit.

[Wildwood]

We all have a bit of the "Wildwood" in us I think, and the older I get, the more I cherish it...:cool:

Wildwood (sounding scarily like Mystic Meg!)

[shed17]

I can't remember:der:

Been using it for years on different forums, along with Modenamagic (my car) and WGG (my initials)

Scary thing is that I googled it and some of my posts are there:smoke:

I can't remember:der:
Sort of like the band maybe?

[shed17]

Sort of like the band maybe?

Bingo! Band was Shed7 but somebody had it as a username, so I used shed17.

Too much alcohol has destroyed the brain cells:smile:

[Stogiedog]

" I like the name Stogiedog" simple.

[Rufus T. Firefly]

Well "Rufus T. Firefly" isn't my real name, but it is one of my favorite characters from the movie Duck Soup and ya just gotta love Groucho Marx. Groucho always had a big stogie.:smoke:

[MacLochlainn]

Mine is just my name. MacLochlainn. It is Irish and means Son of the man from the lakelands i.e. the viking.

[Ramon]

Mine is from the rather obvious Ramon Allones brand :smile:

[Jithell]

Mine is basically my name, pretty boring really :bebored:

[rokkitsci]

Groucho, as you may recall, hosted a quiz show named "You Bet Your Life" in the heyday of television. It wasn't much of a quiz show and mainly showcased his impromptu comedic brilliancy. He would bring in a pair of contestants and ask them a series of ridiculously easy questions after chatting with them for a bit. This was in the days of live television, mind you.

A tenny rate, he was chatting up an old farm boy, found out he was married, asked about children. The old boy replied he had 17 of them (or somesuch ridiculously large number).

Groucho asks him, "Why do you have so many children?"

To which the old farmer replies, "Well, Groucho, I love my wife."

Without missing a beat, Groucho comes back with "Well, I love my cigar but I take it out of my mouth once in a while."

LOL! I read that his show was cancelled off the back of that comment

[Stevieboy]

My username is v. boring - basically my name (although no-one calls me Stevie, always Steve!?!?)

[bigjohn62]

[Sludgie]

Mine is a take on the Royal Navy slang for a submariner - a 'sludge mariner' because apparently we never wash! I just trimmed it down to 'Sludgie'. The Mr Ben picture that I normally have on my avatar is due to my efforts to be a dapper chap....just changed it to a picture of me though...doh!

Nick (Sludgie)

[NathanJD]

Nathan John Dodd. Because my last name is so wee I prefer to refer to myself as Nathan J. Dodd, and around forums a few years ago (when NJD was deemed too short by the software) I went with NathanJD :849:

[Pandyboy]

I like Pandas, simples!

[NathanJD]

Around here a pandy boy is someone who comes from Tonypandy (shortened
locally to pandy)

[Pandyboy]

Well I never!

[smokin_e2011]

[spirit_of_will]

My online spirit...

[Reaver2145]

My eve online account and the idea came from a episode of firefly

As for the avatar well dreadnoughts are cool and ponies are not.

[Zigatoh]

Brand of a pedal bike someone had when I was a kid... First used as a character name in games like Goldeneye and stuck with me ever since :cool:

[SmokeyDave]

For the years I smoked cigars out and about (in the days when you could still smoke indoors) I was the only one who loved a cigar. Due to the voluminous smoke that collected when puffing in the pub/clubs my friends took to calling me Smokey, hence SmokeyDave.

I have thought about changing it though, as there can be confusion with member SmokeyMo who is Mitch at CGars.

[Boozybillhiccup]

I generally don't say much. Honk honk

[Bad-Yeti]

Hmmm, a friend of mine used to be in a band and I'd often go and watch them, one night at a particular gig the crowd were a little quiet, I was very drunk and I was bouncing around at the front in my white shorts and shirt, i'm 6'4 and 19 stone and generally look pretty beefy so the lead singer after the set announced thanks to everyone for coming especially the Yeti at the front. Later as we were enjoying a couple of beers one of the patrons started on the lead singer and was being pretty discusting towards her, after various insults and her declining his "advances" he spat in her face, at this point I punched him out. The bouncers rushed in and one of them looked at me while picking the piece of garbage off the floor and just said "Bad Yeti!" We all laughed and it stuck. :biggrin1:

[James811]

Love it Yeti! Nice story before bed time

[senor_robusto]

my name, senor_robusto, comes from my liking of the robusto sized cuban cigars (hence the spanish for mister)!! i'm not small and fat either, i'm 6' 3"...... lol

[Bigboned]

[fireman_uk]

Well, erm...I'm a fireman (or firefighter to be politically correct). I added UK because I used to post regularly on a US cigar forum. :cowboyic9:

[Reaver2145]

No i like goons the attitude on pretty much sh*t on everyone and make the tears flow is what eve is all about.

[Bad-Yeti]

Yeah a little bored of it right now so taking a break, maybe go back to it after the summer.

[Anthonyget]

My name is actually Nick, but years ago got stuck for an alias and went for the main character in a 1930's detective book I was reading called Anthony Gethryn. I was allowed only 9 letters so...

[Reaver2145]

Indeed my accounts went inactive a few days ago.

[Spoony]

Spoony is my nickname. It was given to me by my idiot mates over 10 years ago. I don't remember why but at the time i hated it. (Cos they said it in a high pitched lisped voice.) Being the understanding chaps they are, when they knew i hated it called me it constantly so it stuck. Now that they've dropped the high pitched lisp I actually quite like it.

[bfg84]

although i wish i was from the Big F**king Gun (see Doom), its from the book BFG by Roald Dahl, as im 6'2 and 23 stone and normally quite friendly! oh and i was born in 84.

Dan

[Bad-Yeti]

Noooo you've shattered my illusion, I was certain it would be the Gun :(

[Zigatoh]

Boooo, you could've just said it was the gun and kept us all happy :(

[seeacon]

My initials/name are C A Conn, so See A Con: A name you can trust :).

[Bigboned]

Haha nice recovery Dan

[Vortigan]

Mine came from the reading of ancient British history.Vortigern (as it's most often spelled) was a 5th century warlord and leader among The Britons (thank you Wiki :smile:) I don't presuppose any modern equivalent of the status,I just liked the name.

[pedro]

well mine is pretty simple for west coast of scotland thing and being called peter I been known as pedro for a long time but since I married a mexican it has not helped to resolve that nickname

[Reaver2145]

Must not make Mexican joke.

Nothing wrong with with a ginger minge that a bottle of hair dye wont fix

[Boozybillhiccup]

I'm not saying anything

[Smallclub]

(Ramon Allones) Small Club Corona: in France this cigar is called "small club". French rarely use acronyms, so it's never mentionned as "RASCC" like it is on american forums.
For years this cigar was one of my favorites, but I must say its quality seems in decline since 2007 - or maybe my taste is changing, it has happened before…
