How did you decide on your screen name?

[Nmathew24]

First letter of my first name-last name-a number that seemed fitting.

 

[JetGirl]

The "GNR" is because of an online gaming group my friends and I had back in the day - Game Night Rangers...

I always thought it had something to do with

 

[findingZzero]

Late to the party.

It's my password for my bank.

To know where you're going you have to know where you're starting from. It's a calibration term that would come up when I fired up the NMR rig at work. I liked it. I'm still trying to find my Z zero. Whan I do, watch out!

 

[88GT]

^^^^ Me too. But after my growing up years, my brain is pre-programmed to see all GNR as related to the band. Just like I see "Glock" when the word is clock.

Edit: dangit. That was meant to respond to JG's post. Findinghimself jumped in before I could finish.

 

[ArcadiaGP]

If I told you what it stood for, I'd have to kill 'ya.

The end, though, changes occasionally. Was just 7, then became 7R. All has a meaning. My password is very similarly complex... containing multiple words and phrases that have stuck with me for years.

But, my first Internet username back when I got my first computer was "Gamepro"... mostly "Gamepro777". Obviously was a big gamer. Got started on Starcraft, Medal of Honor, Counter Strike. Was in some leagues.

You aren't the first... It's also been confused with "GuNneR" or "GuN" PowdeR

 

[JollyMon]

I am a very pleasant and enjoyable dude. Not to toot my own horn or anything.

[st33da]

I am pretty big into mustangs and had gotten the nickname Steeda over the years because of my various mustangs I have owned. Then one night I was at a buddies house and he was playing Counter Strike on his computer and asked if I wanted to give it a try. It looked interesting and I liked the fact that it was a Fist Person Shooter game with other people on the internet. Well needless to say I was terrible. So terrible in fact that my buddy said that I was lowering his rank and needed to use my own name. He asked what I wanted my name to be and I had no clue. Per his suggestion we went with Steeda. Well when he changed the name he used 3's instead of E's. I asked him why and he said it was "leet speak" and a lot of gamers do it. I just went with it and it stuck.

I like that reflection. LMAO!

 

[D-Ric902]

When our first grandson was a toddler, it was too much trouble to tell his mom and dad "I want to go to grandpa Ric and grandma D's house" so he shortened it to D-Ric's house so we figured with the whole "one flesh" thing it kind of stuck.
And 902 is our anniversary

902? You've been married for over 1100 years?

 

[revsaxon]

Have gone by Saxon since a crazy early age (family roots back to the saxon hords, somehow ended up with that nick-name in middle school). Got ordained a few years back and went by Rev for a while, neither was unique enough for an aim address, so combined my two nick-names and have been going by it ever since.

yes

 

[D-Ric902]

[gungirl65]

My user name is simply the result of my lack of imagination at the time. gungirl because I am a girl with guns and 65 being my birth year. I hate coming up with usernames and passwords. I have to keep them simple so I can remember them.

 

[1861navy]

Mine was actually a typo. It was supposed to be 1851navy because I love the gun, but I hit 6 instead of 5. Registered and noticed it 4 days later, and kept it 'cuz I thought it had a nice ring to it.

Read through the whole thread, interesting to see how some people came up with their screen name.

 

[Roadie]

I used to be one.. back in the day

 

[Rookie]

Roadie was taken, so I chose Rookie instead.
