There are some interesting usernames on this forum, I was just wondering how people came by them? My username (Wobble) used to be my nickname when at school, and no I'm not fat, quite the opposite. No, when I was first introduced to a friend he misheard my surname (Worrall) and laughed his head off! It sort of stuck after that!

So come on people tell us why your are who you are!

well, back in elementary people started calling me picek, which in croatian means chicken(not as a wuss, but as food), but i was annoyed by that and changed that to peceni picek which means roasted chicken.

whee

LOL i always wondered, Roasted Chicken, V Nice.

I used to BE JK47 back in the days of an active Squadwar, This was Pre-KOTR as well, My mates used to shorten my name to Jay, and i had an old AK47 my uncle bought back from the first Gulf war so it kinda made itself. Then i was LOA--JK47 (im still on the member list) then i changed to a Wing Commander hard nut in lieu of intermittent service to the SAGA team a few years back.

Then i just kept the current..........

Trying to create an account on Diablo I Battle.net 7 years ago; 'Mephisto' didn't work, 'Mefisto' didn't work, 'Pringles' didn't work, but 'Mefusta' did work. I created an account under 'Mefusta' on HLP, forget the details, and had to resort to my backup 'Mefustae', pronounced 'Meh - fuus - tay'.

I'm the same with the old "used to get called it at school and was called as a joke and to make fun of but it ended up sticking."
I'll never lose it.

Do you practice being vague?

CP5670 · **Reply #16 on:** August 16, 2006, 09:52:23 am

Mine came from monkey pounding the keyboard in '97 after getting annoyed that every name I was trying on Westwood online was already taken. It's obviously meaningless, but it has stuck.

I actually switched to a different name in games several years ago (142857) but still use this on all the forums I'm registered at.

Colonol Dekker · **Reply #17 on:** August 16, 2006, 09:54:36 am

Yay Tiberian Sun Multiplayer.........!!
Go GDI!

Actually my name on ehtere was Kanes a C**T but that wasnt appropriate for Forums so i dont use it in that sense.

Herra Tohtori · **Reply #19 on:** August 16, 2006, 10:29:42 am

Herra Tohtori...

That is a character from a Finnish comedy sketch series called Kummeli, which is not unlike Monty Python, though the humour is quite different. Anyway, Once upon a time, I was at school and I posted a message at a certain forum (www.tiede.fi/keskustelut, a Finnish science magazine's forum), then I had to come up with a user name real fast, and this just occurred to me. Chances are, if you see someone using the name "Herra Tohtori" in the net, that's most likely me. Haven't seen anyone else using it.

And if you see Trifid Nebula in conjunction with my nick, that's definitely me.

I use it as my avatar in quite a few places. This is how it looks like...

This is also one of the names that just stuck. It would be awkward to use other user name.

...What does it mean, then? It's Mr. Doctor in English... or Herr Doktor auf deutch. No, I'm not a real doctor. Neither medical or anything else.

Yet.
