Topic: How did you choose your FT User ID?

Subject: How did you choose your FT User ID?
Date: Apr 08 12

Some of the nicknames here are so inventive. Just curious how we pick our names.

I'm the youngest of seven children and always seemed to be behind the rest. My father would say, "And here comes Tori Too-z".

How did you pick yours? :)

j-zilch It means that I'm zilch, nothing, I'm doing only God's will and giving it all to my Savior, Jesus Christ and laying my own will to the side.

Josechingon

I got mine from a friend at an off track betting salon in Juarez, Mexico where I go to wager on football and the dogs. My name is Joe..Jose in spanish. He threw the chingon on there. He thought it was funny to call me Joe Cool. I chose it in his memory.

turbotude

I used to have a cat, Turbo, who was full of energy. I was always telling him he had 'turbotude' and cattitude...and that's how my nick originated.

satguru

Good to learn that turbo, I'd never have worked that one out, I was always thinking it was a fish related one.

crotalus77 I have been fascinated by rattlesnakes or just snakes in general since childhood. Crotalus is the genus for most species. Crotalus scutulatus is my favorite. The 77 represents fangs and 7 is my favorite number anyway.

Mine I got from a character I was in love with from I book I was reading at the time, called Emperor Mage. The character's name was Kaddar.

rubytops

Mine is the combination of my two cats names Ruby and Topsy.
I think this is pretty common to use a pets name.

2arcane4words

I really wish that I could remember. All I can remember is playing around with words and combinations of words, and suddenly that popped into being.

I had wanted to be "persiflage," but that had been taken by a player who has since left FT. I imagine that's just as well as I enjoy signing my posts:

My favorite baseball team is the Boston Red Sox ("Bosox for short) and my guitar player called me Rico in 1991...nickname stuck...so "Bosoxrico" it is.

salami_swami

I could not come up with a name. I had exhausted all my other common online nicknames, as they were all taken. I had tried to stop playing on a certain other site, and tried many sites to take its place. Of that included the Cartoon Network site. On that site was a silly game called "Salami Swami". The yes/no question game with Shaggy from Scooby Doo as the "salami swami".

I finally found FunTrivia, after watching Jeopardy and deciding I would love to find a trivia-related site. FunTrivia was, of course, the first on the list, and I joined.

As I said, I couldn't determine a name, so as I thought of a username, I was still playing games on Cartoon Network. As I played "salami swami", I decided, since I had not been able to think of a username for several hours, that I would just give up and use that game's name as my username. Then I discovered spaces were not allowed. So I used the underscore.

:D And I've been here ever since. :)

ASA ASA stood for Alan-South Australia, which is what my original user name was, but the forums would not accept such a long name hence the abbreviation.

Someone told me that ASA is also the name for aspirin, which is a slow working dope - which also describes me.

lesley153 I just wanted something that was easy to remember, so I started with my first name. Lesley was already taken by a class 0 member who was still around in 2007 when I joined, so I added my then age.

alexis722

My maternal grandfather's name was Alexis Haakon Suhr, and I liked the name Alexis better than my own, so chose it in remembrance of him, though he died 30 years before I was born. The 722 is just my birth date.

sportsherald "Lesley was already taken by a class 0 member who was still around in 2007 when I joined, so I added my then age." Since your user ID is lesley153, does that mean you were 153 then? I'm guessing either 15 or 53...

czech7985 Mine is based on my ethnic heritage and two years that are very important in my life (the years my children were born).
