What's the Origin of your username?
Most people pick a name that means something to them. I love snowflakes * (and my birthday is in december so I love winter), so I added it with my name to give my user name, that I use through the internet world.
What about you?

DB's character. Nuff said.
I used to play this RPG and my character had healing powers... I was often refered to as the doctor, which quickly shortened to Doc. It just stuck. Plus, I'm known for always having a few bandaids in my bag, which I've needed on several occasions!
Plus, didn't really contribute to the name, but Doc Fraiser on Stargate was awesome...

Edgeoforever
09-04-2006, 02:38 PM
Mine combines the name of my favorite place to live, and my favorite Star Trek episode "City on the Edgeoforever" I could have been another "City of..." - but I'm not that crazy about the place...
I chose mine from the book of Ruth in the bible. I'm not normally a bible kind of person, but it's been my favourite since I was a little girl.
"And she said unto them, Call me not Naomi, call me Mara: for the Almighty hath dealt very bitterly with me." (1:20)
Mara is also the root of my real name. :)
Karma
09-16-2006, 10:56 AM
Mine is simple and fits everything...lol...I had a spell were I'd signed onto a lot of different boards and I kept forgetting what username I had on different boards, so I picked Karma and have been using it ever since :)
Mine comes because the first three letter from my three names form M.A.R. My frist name is Muriel

mine is Brennan's first name (Temperance) and my boyfriend's last name (Ryan). For any one who's read any of Kathy Reichs' books, you'll notice that the last name of one of the SQ dectitives Tempe often works with is "hidden" in my username. anyone wanna try and guess who?
Marco Pacella
10-27-2006, 04:30 PM
Mine comes from The 4400, there's a character in it who i like called Marco Pacella and if you watch this show you'll know who he is. He's one of my faves, the other being Shawn as well as Maia. But anyway i liked the name and have never used it before and decided to use it for a change.

Double Sided
Mine sort of based on a person having two personalites being doubled sided because sometimes I feel like I have two sides to myself not being able to be myself infront of some people but able to be myself infront of good friends.

Thanks I was having one of those days when I was signing up to this wonderful place.
Mine is the combination of my real first name and middle name.

uhhhh...Im a brazilian and Im a girl....I think this sums it up.....
techgurl
01-29-2007, 04:35 PM
I'm also Brazilian and a girl, but my username is because I'm always using the computer (for work or just surfing the net), so my friends are always bugging me about it... so I chose this one.
Seasira
01-29-2007, 07:30 PM
I use Seasira for everything. Why because I drew a picture when I was 14 of a mermaid and I wanted to give her a name and it was Seasira. SO since then I have used that for all of my user names. If you google is everything that comes up is associated with me. I love having an unique name :)

I know its off topic but I was just wondering if any of the brazilian users here know when fox Brasil will start airing season 2....
AngelEyes
02-21-2007, 12:27 AM
xD AngelEyes is one of regular screennames (when its not taken already)
0_0;; Appereantly I have pretty eyes (http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h87/Waiting4aHero/Kat2006cameraMay2006060.jpg) so, AngelEyes just seemed to fit.
xD And also if you look in DB's other works, it kinda fits as well...
Incandescent
04-25-2007, 02:08 PM
It's a regular name I use on these sort of things, but at the time I was reading a book and came across the word and thought it would make an interesting username, so it's just sort of stuck! :) Plus not many others seem to use it so it's generally always available :D
Nhaleen
06-19-2007, 12:51 AM
I got my nickname out of a fantasy book that I was reading.
The name of the character was Neelahn, but because I wanted to give my own twist to it I turned the name around and so I became Nhaleen. I'm very happy with it, because it is so unique. I almost never have to worry that my nickname is taken.
McRockstar
06-19-2007, 01:26 AM
I started using mine on a Grey's Anatomy board after Izzie did her whole "I'm a rockstar" thing...and I added the Mc to it b/c of Grey's..obviously, lol.
dipsofjazz
07-19-2007, 12:52 AM
I play banjo in a traditional jazz band called The Diplomats of Jazz.
Dipsofjazz is a shortened version of the name that I use online, as it's a name I always remember. LOL :D

07-24-2007, 01:52 PM
Mine is from a sign that used to be all over where I live - it's a really cool, artsy pic of Scully with her gun and the text was: Agent Skates does not live here anymore. I saw the sign and decided I'd like to be Agent Skates...... and I love to ice skate - so there you go. Neat hearing how people pick their names!

10-06-2007, 10:49 AM
My nickname is Dingo but it's ALWAYS taken! So I was on the Boy Hits Car site and my favourite song is called "Man without Skin" so I messed around with that to become Skinfull. And I use it for everything now. (Except the places that Dingo isn't taken!) lol
-Plus it is a term for having consumed too much alcohol.

serencie
10-16-2008, 12:15 PM
I wanted to have a name that was a part of both Seeley(Booth) and Temperance's name but i did not want to call myself Semperance so after thinking a while I came up with Serance, but i added i in there and switched a with e so it became Serencie.

belbin9
10-16-2008, 07:02 PM
My name is pretty simple and boring to everyone elses, but my name is belbin9. My last name being Belbin which I just love for some reason and my favourite number being 9 because in elementry school I sucked at multiplication but 9 was in my opinion the easiest other than 1, 10, 5 and 2. Plus when I was nine it was my best year for being the funniest in the class.
