What Does Your Name Mean?

[joelyboy911]

Joelyboy911. Joel is my first name. yboy represents the fact that I am male. 911, this is not intended to be the date of a terrorist attack, nor is it the emergency number in the United States, but infact I chose it randomly many years ago when I made my first ever internet site account, on Neopets.

[jimbo_jj]

My screen name is kinda old, at least for me. I first made it back in 2001 when I was in the eighth grade. Actually, I needed to create an account at tripod.com for a school group project where we were making a website. Jimbo was a nickname a couple of my friends at the time called me, which I barely heard then, and hardly ever since, and JJ is just my initials. I thought about changing it a couple of times when I created accounts on other sites, including here, but it's stuck with me this long, so I'm Jimbo_JJ.

[Nanami]

My user name was taken from my old phone number.

[Enslaved Viking]

My user name is music related. When I had joined Sc4Devotion, I had just listened to the Norwegian band Enslaved,  also few weeks earlier I had bought the DVD "Metal: A Headbanger's Journey" and finding out that Enslaved's main music topic was vikings, that is where my name comes from.

[adroman]

adroman is taken from my best friend's old nickname for me... As my real name is Adrian...

by the way, it isn't spelt androman... like some have spelt it... I'm no robot!

Havva good one

[KoV Liberty]

My username came from quite a while ago when on XBL I was also challenging my friends to drifting competitions. And I (almost; only a few times lost) always won. My friends started calling me "Driftmaster" and the name stuck.

[Haljackey]

I wish I knew where my username came from.

Back when I first needed a username for something, for some odd reason, "Haljackey" just popped into my head.  It worked, so I used it.  (And have until this day!)

[canyonjumper]

Hmmm... I guess I use canyonjumper for the same reason as Haljackey. I didn't want a name that was stupid, and i didn't want to use my real name, because I wanted to be original. And canyonjumper came into my head.

[MandelSoft]

My current username is now MRTNRLN. The meaning of the last three letters have changed from time to time. The first four letters stand for Maarten and the whole stands for Maarten's Real Name 

Currently I use Mandelsoft as username on any other site (beside SimTropolis). By the way, does anyone know how to change your username? I see that some people have changed theirs (like Johnatan, previously named warrior). I suppose only administrators have the rights to change them.

Best,
Maarten

Out of curiosity, what's the story behind Mandesoft as username?

[MandelSoft]

Well, some programs ask for data during installation, like your name and company. We always fill in MandelSoft. The name is a combination of the well-known company MicroSoft and the other part is named after a fractal, the Mandelbrot Set. That's how you get MandelSoft 

For those who aren't fammiliar with fractals; fractals are shapes that repeat theirselfs. The one I'm refering to, the Mandelbrot Set, looks like this:


Best,

[ecoba]

Well, my user name is ecoba, as you can plainly see. My real name is Ethan. EC, from the beginning of ecoba, are my initials, and at the time of making my first internet accounts, I didn't want to use my real name, so I added oba, and it sounded okay together so it stuck. The town I live in's name also begins with an A. So I can also think of it as EC of A, slightly modified, because in my opinion, ecofa does not sound as good as ecoba.

Also doing something from the beginning of the thread, here's my Lord of The Rings Name.I found it interesting.

According to the Red Book of Westmarch,
In Middle-earth, Ethan was a
Deceitful Harfoot

I'm still gonna just reply to ecoba, or Ethan. Also I'm curious as well as to how to change usernames, as Maartan
(mrtnrln) stated earlier on the page.

Ethan

[Connor]

I (rather creatively) decided to use my real name for some reason, i was probably tired or in a bad mood at the time. 

Normally (on other sites and stuff) i just put the first thing that comes into my head, unless of course it's innappropriate (which it usually is) 

[jigsaw]

gking is my name... g.king

i use another alias/username @ simtropolis/simpeg. i think i have created an account under the other alias, but i forget what the password is, so i will keep going with what i use now.

[kevinaj]

Kevin is my first name, while AJ is the first letters of my 2 last names, hence kevinaj. Another fact is that kids in my school usually call me Kevin AJ or KAJ.

[Nijomi]

Nijomi is simply the first two letters of my first, middle and surname.

[Pozzessed]

When joining up with AOhelL in the dim and distant past
A screen name was required instantly, my thought was 'Oh Blast!'

Looking around for inspiration, my eyes lighted on a pic
Of our drag van, Pozzessed, and that's how I got my nic ..

[drx.94]

My name: drx.94 comes from:
drx = dierckx (it's my last name)
94 = 1994 (my birth year)

[ConcreteBuilder]

 I've been a Concrete finisher for the last 25 years for Du Page Co. just outside of Chicago in the west suburbs and have built everything to do with Concrete

[Pat]

Hey there concreteBuilder,
   I used to live in Hanover Park and in Stickney or Berwyn as USPS calls it there lol...

@ Ethan if you want to change your username here you will need to talk with a administrator about it and I bet you will have no problems at all ;-)
