How did you choose your screen name?

Postby brewersr » Mon Jan 12, 2009 1:14 am

So there are so many interesting names here, heavenlyfire, jeepguy, wild, and wyo wino just to name a few. I'm curious about a lot of the names. So how did you choose yours? Mine, brewersr, was sort of a mistake. When I was setting up the site, my web hosting company gave me that as a default username for my hosting account. A little later when I installed the forum software, it asked for my username. Being new to this whole hosting/forum thing, I thought I had to put in the username of the hosting account and did that. If I had known, I probably would have gone with mattbussey. That's what I usually use other places. I know it's not exactly creative but it works. Oh, an brewersr is just the first 8 letters of brewersroundtable, that's all there is to it.

Well mine was somewhat easy but took us a few days. My wife has always liked angels and I always liked dragons. Well we put the 2 together and this is what we came up with. And you will notice in my avatar that my dragon has angel wings and a halo.

When I joined the computer biz in the '70s, I was also training as a stuntman. Due to my tight schedules, sometimes I'd arrive to work in full western gear including guns. My boss, who became a very close friend, thought it was "wild". It has stayed with me though the years.

I guess mine came from being in Wyoming where winter lasts from Oct to June and hardly anybody drinks wine. We had to drive 100 miles one way to buy some good high quality wine. I couldn't wait to get my winery going.

Mine is a little Juvenile. When i was in highschool many years back, we had to come up with a username. All the ones I wanted were taken. I have curly hair (although it's always cut off these days) and I've always been fat! So CurlyFat was born. I soon realized that it was never used by anyone else so I didn't have to be curlyfat1243 or anything. So, to this day, I still use it almost exclusively....I did have a brief stint as thefatkid .....

The first three letters are the first three letter of my surname, the O just gets added by friends. My wife calls me Sego too! I think that's a good thing right!!!

I choose my screename because I want to have a simple yet similar stuff from me and I am a heavydrinker when it comes to any type of drinks that is why I have chosen this screen name I guess ...

Mine comes from having to choose a user name back in high school too. I couldn't think of one so I used my nickname from German class (penguin) It was taken though. My name is Jared, and I worked at Subway in high school. This one weird guy always insisted on calling me fogel after the Jared on the Subway commercials. He happened to be in the class, and it just seemed to make sense to put them together. The great part is almost no one else uses it, so it's kinda become my unique internet/gaming handle.
