Where does your AFF username come from?

[SeatBackForward]

This thread has the potential to be longer than the Qantas fairer simpler changes.

Ha-ha, whats the AFF active member count sitting at these days ?

 

[mark4217]

In the thousands I'm guessing. If I was to pick a number I would say 15k+

 

[Rugby]

Mine's simple enough - I just like the game.

 

[kalboy]

Proud to be a bit of a lad who has lived in Kalgoorlie nearly 20 years, This town has looked after me pretty well. Hence a common user name I use.

 

[Buzzard]

amaroo - "a beautiful place"

Some Australian Aboriginal names of Towns and Suburbs

I thought it was after the race circuit in SYD (now gone)
I have been called Buzzard for 30 years or more. Some of my friends probably still don't know my real name.

 

[Dr Ralph]

I have a PhD and I don't vomit.

 

[JohnM]

I have a PhD and I don't vomit.

Is that because vomiting is Raaaaaaalph.

 

[Dr Ralph]

Is that because vomiting is Raaaaaaalph.

Yes it is.

 

[Boris spatsky]

Is that because vomiting is Raaaaaaalph.

I thought it was Ruuuutttttthhhhhh (my grandmother's name)

 

[Happy Trails]

Time for a new avatar.

 

[JohnM]

I thought it was Ruuuutttttthhhhhh (my grandmother's name) 

It's optional .

 

[rainbowgirl]

I love bright colours and wearing stripes. Rainbows to me are like dreams, full of wonder and hope. I love rainbows and hoped using the name rainbowgirl would make me feel comfortable being part of a forum where I wasn't sure initially whether I would fit in or not.

I use a different handle on each website in order to keep my identities separate so people can't track me from forum to forum.

 

[yohy?!]

Why oh why am I flying Y?!

 

[JohnM]

Why oh why am I flying Y?!

Always wondered about that one!

 

[juddles]

My real name is Judd, but that wasn't tough enough......

 

[anat0l]

Mine is my handle from years gone by when I played computer games, including in competitions.

When I created it at the time, I just needed a new handle and so something just came to mind, then as you kind of do with other gamers, you shorten it a bit and maybe replace a letter with a number.

Just like my surname, hardly anyone spells my handle correctly (unless they copy and paste).


I think there have been many topics like this before, though the last of these is likely too old to repost in.

 

[JohnK]

I am not sure. I will figure it out one day....

 

[mushez]

Well people who know me, call me "MUSH" - not as in to squash or hurry up, but a long u like "moosh"

My name is "Hamish" which quickly turns into "Hey Mush" and then shortened to MUSH.

MUSH is always taken, so turned towards just using MUSHEZ since 1998 with anything online requiring a username or handle.

 

[cove]

Mine is a building on the north side of Los Angeles airport. It has been used in a couple of movies seeing it is not too far from Hollywood.

 

[Bindibuys]

Bindi has always been the name my father called me, (Bindi, Blindi, Blynda) so close friends and family call me that.
Bindi was taken when I signed up to Ebay, so I made it Bindibuys, as I was buying / selling items.

Most people these days just call me BB - my initials.
