mithril is from Lord of the Rings, G60 is the engine in the VW Corrado I used to own. Usually I just use mithril but when it's taken I append G60 to the end.

Lucky_Hippo · 06-03-2010, 02:30 AM

It was either Lucky Hippo or SomefatguywithanIrishnamewholikestotalkaboutcigars online, but I didn't think the second name really went with my avatar.

06-03-2010, 06:12 AM

My name says what I do. On other forums I have another name that I thought my not go over well here. 5skin, the next size up.

G G · 06-03-2010, 06:27 AM

I aint as creative as some of yall. Mine is my first initial and last name.

skullnrose · 06-03-2010, 06:42 AM

SkullnRose I started using this on aol way back in 94-95 when your screen name could only have 10 letters. It refers to my favorite band The Grateful Dead.

I was looking for an email and username along time ago and at the time was reading about how nothing in life is really ours we just use it (kinda like leasing). So leasingthisspace was born.

tedrodgerscpa · 06-03-2010, 08:41 AM

Name, former profession (no longer an active CPA, so I'm probably violating some sort of ethics rule as a result)

Also my screen name from back in the AOL days.

kaisersozei · 06-03-2010, 07:26 AM

Many years ago, I had to choose a user name for an on-line gaming clan. Keyser Soze was the "mystery" badass in the movie The Usual Suspects--no one really knew who he was. Kinda like me being on the internet. So I changed the spelling and voila. Just got lazy and used it for alot of my on-line accounts.

elderboy02 · 06-03-2010, 07:30 AM

I went to Elder High School and graduated in '02

poker · 06-03-2010, 07:32 AM

Mine was chosen because it was a game I really enjoyed and played quite often. That was back many years ago when I first joined ASC and ICG cigar message boards. I still play poker every weekend to this day.

Chainsaw13 · 06-03-2010, 07:35 AM

Nickname I acquired years ago when I was heavily into paintball. It was the sound my SMG-60 would make. Also came from a character in the movie Summer School. And it sounded mean. ;-)

13 is my lucky number. Was the my jersey number in baseball and hockey.

awsmith4 · 06-03-2010, 07:44 AM

Mine is my name first and middle initial, my last name, and yes I am the 4th

Brutus2600 · 06-03-2010, 08:36 AM

Well, when I was a stupid kid in high school (this is 10 or 11 years ago), my friend and I were trying to figure out what we wanted our hacker screen names to be, the idea was we were both going to choose a famous assassin from history, then add 2600 on the end (a quarterly magazine dedicated to hacking).

Well, our grand plans of "hacking the planet" (

) never came to fruition, but the screen name stuck and I've used it ever since

Steve · 06-03-2010, 08:57 AM

My mom gave me my screen name before Al Gore invented the Internet. She was a smart woman!

rack04 · 06-03-2010, 09:00 AM

rack - partial last name
04 - number worn in high school

Subvet642 · 06-03-2010, 09:10 AM

I'm a U.S. Navy submarine veteran and my boat's hull number was SSBN 642.

tomc3084 · 06-03-2010, 09:28 AM

Mine is my name, obviously. The numbers, actually, I am not too sure of. The 84 is my birth year, but I am not sure on why I have a 30 in front of it?

06-03-2010, 09:43 AM

My name is Troy. My nick name has been

Trouble T-roy

then
Trouble-T

then just
Trouble or Trubs

Trouble seems to follow me around.
