Some of the names are fascinating, some funny, some cryptic, or whatever. Can you tell the story behind how you picked your name?

I am "Sporty_G"....I got this nickname from a guy on my softball team in the early 90's...he used it once in public with the rest of the team there in a game and then at the bars afterward and it stuck. I have used it ever since...."thank you" for the name Carleton where ever you are now.

MCW stands for Molotov Cocktail Waitress, name of a three part hip-hop group Im involved in.

C Lewis is Chris Lewis, my name

fuck, i thought of starting this thread early on. damn! lol

"ZIMATAR" is an am radio show in the philippines from the late '70s to early '80s... it was on every 8pm... just before i go to sleep... i gave more attention to my very first transistor radio (i don't recall if it were fisher price or sesame street design) than television as it was given to me as a birthday gift when i turned 4 years old... every 8pm on school nights, the announcer would go:
ZIIIIIMMMMMMMAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRR!!!!!
(think the way He-Man would yell "By the power of Grayskull!")

ZIMATAR is a Filipino action hero battling supernatural evil forces that endanger mankind. too bad it was not adapted as a tv show nor a movie

OMG I WAS WRONG!!!
ZIMATAR HAS BEEN MADE INTO A MOVIE IN 1982 AND I HAD NO FUCKEN CLUE
it seems to be a hit in Germany
thank heavens for google!!!

http://www.amazon.de/Zimatar/dp/B000KF0F96

he's got a funny costume and a sword too! hello, masters of the universe, we started it first!!!

duglyduckling = D Ugly Duckling (The ugly duckling)

I think everyone knows the story...

Ursa Major (pronounced /ˌɝsəˈmeɪdʒɚ/) is a constellation visible throughout the year in most of the northern hemisphere. Its name means Great Bear in Latin, and is associated with the legends of Callisto and Cynosura.

RBY71 is just representational of the Red Blue Yellow primary colors that are also interchangeable with letters in my name with the year I was born tagged on at the end.

I chose to go with this one because on other sites I've always had to have kinda silly names like KillerGardenGome or RabidMonchichi and I wanted to have NowShowMeOnTheDollyWhereTheBadManTouchedYou as one, but the site in question did not allow that many characters in the name box.

I chose to go with a boring name on RJ because when I signed up it seemed like a very very serious site and I was unsure that any silliness would be appropriate, let alone tolerated. Thank you all for validating that assumption

It's my name.. I have nothing to hide.

too bad "MatthewMcConaugheyLookAlike" is a bit lengthy too

I happen to be a very enthusiastic Pokémon fan.

Kidding.

ASH is my initials, and 557 is just a nice number.

x

I'm Kevin and I was born in 1982

My handle is what the Eddie Murphy character Buckwheat used to say when singing 'Lookin for love in all the wrong places' on an old Saturday night skit.

I think he said wookinpanub when trying to say 'lookin for love' but I like nookinpunub better.


'Lookin for love in all the wrong places' was used in theUrban Cowboy movie with John Travolta
.
Nookinpunub

Alright so everyone always asks why I chose such a dark name so here's the explanation:

Life sometimes forces us to make hard choices - it's inevitable. In the past I did something to help a certain someone that to them probably felt like betrayl. That pain is my own burden to bare, because even if I meant the best and believed it was the right thing to do, I still managed to cause harm. In the future it will be the same, but at least I can live with a clear conscience and with no regrets, and thus it is my life, my choices, that result in my pain, but I wouldn't have it any other way.

freakyninjamonkey...heh, well this name came about a few years ago. Was trying to make a name for my AIM account but everything I tried to use had already been takes (DAMN PEOPLE GETTING TO THE NAMES FIRST). After some thought, and help from the shirt I was wearing (the shirt read "No, it's not raining. That's actually my ninja monkey pelting you with poo!" ) I tried ninjamonkey...and that was a miss . Well my friend said that one of my other names I tried was knida freaky...and thus freakyninjamonkey was born. I can also say with a 99.5% certainty that when I use this name, NOONE already has it picked lol.

one of my friends actually say "geebus mcneesus!" as opposed to the blasphemous "jesus christ".

I thought mine would be obvious...

I've never seen Zimatar either, zim.

Sedative14

14 - my favorite number, since I was born January 14.

Sedative - hmm... one of the four handles I usually use.

One is my 'straight' handle (I'm still closeted and thus never use it), it has a much better background story. Heh. Coz I based it off a poem I wrote back in high school.

The other three, including Sedative, are used simply because I like the sound and I'm not a hundred percent sane anyway. If the ones I've chosen are unavailable then I'll pick between the three. In this case Sedative14.

Deep Ellum is an arts, entertainment and shopping district just northeast of downtown Dallas, close to my home. I've seen the area described as Bohemian, a bit rough around the edges. You won't find Brooks Brothers, Banana Republic or Starbucks in Deep Ellum. But you're in the right neighborhood if you're looking for a tattoo parlor or loud club with live music. From what I understand, "Ellum" comes from the southern drawl two-syllable pronunciation of the word, Elm, the main street in the neighborhood.

haha oh me and my screennames...
this one is self explanatory...it could mean a lot..
first the 23 is how old I am...well should have thought of that before making..cuz I guess I will always be 23? lol

but the notsoomuch is a name that coincides with my old(still use) Aim mileniumdoughboy..
add the notsoomuch-mileniumdoughboy
in high school nick named pimp daddy doughboy for all the girls I was friends with, then with y2k happening around then...made mileniumdoughboy, but since I am no longer a doughboy..I am notsoomuch

another screenname though pointless to share is dedicated to my ex.. overyoulikethat its on the same site he used daily to get hookups..so whenever I sign on he sees that...

You know the line, "Surfs up!" used to get thrown around a lot? I hated that line, and thus, surfsdown was born. It's not deep or cryptic, but damnit it's functional!

Its a nickname based on my initials--T.M. I should change it since guys think my name is Tim O.

Thygra is the god of prosperity and happines, i found Thygros sound more manly so Thygros was born

Tomi is my actual first name, R is the first letter of my surname and the nr 1 I added 'cause obviously TomiR was already taken (haven't found anyone using that screenname, tho). So, there it is: TomiR1. Nothing mystic about that.

klavierkonzerte is german for piano concerto
i just love the concerto form specially the piano concertos of the forgotten 19 century composers.

TWINCAM, refers to the dual overhead cams often found in small, advanced and powerful engines like me

One would think it was because my name is Colm, and I'm from Dublin, but it isn't. While both of these facts are true, Colmdublin is actually the ancient De Danaan god of miniskirt wearing chubby waitresses and cheese on a stick. It is all that I aspire to.

Well I didn't find out that "imperator" was an honorific title given to successful Roman generals until after I thought I'd made it up as the title for characters in some sci-fi I started writing years ago. Imperators the way I use it are superhuman special agents of a fictional government who carry out the 'imperative' missions crucial to the survival and security of their civilisation. So when I think of the word it basically means someone who does what must be done, which is a trait that I aspire to.

My name is Tim and I am a marsupial.

Mine is just what it appears:

Joe = my name
Scorpio = my astrological sign
1970 = the year I was born

citpolo = college + sport

Alright guys my real name is Zulkifle, but I prefer to call my self Zakariah. It more Westernize and easier to pronouce .....just Zak

TWINCAM....that's hot.

mine is stupid...First of all, my name isn't tommy...people have always called me JT and I was at a bar with friends once and this girl thought JT stood for Jeffrey Thomas, so she kept calling me Tommy all night...

JT does not stand for Jeffrey Thomas...its something FAR FAR worse, and has been a horrible nickname that I cannot for the life of me shake, so now I just roll with it.

so anyway, after that girl called me Tommy all night (and then for several semesters of undergrad afterwards, my friends wouldn't let it go, and that part stuck.)

the guns comes from the fact that I have kinda big arms...and when I'd workout with my friends and we'd do arms, I always thought it was funny to give a biceps pose and yell "Welcome to the Gun Show" (dork...I know)



(not mine...I wish they were)

Tommy and guns went together.

When I signed up for RJ, apparently tommysguns was already taken, so I had to stick a number on the end...I chose 2000 cause thats the number of MnMs I ate in five minutes to get the WORLD RECORD, baby!

Mine's pretty straightforward.

My name is Shawn and I live in Toronto. Creative genius at it's best.

It is my totem animal.

I'd be another of the uncreative screen name people. I've always been a nerd, and I'm currently a PhD student in Biology at MSU. Hence, MSUBioNerd.

such awesome creativity!

mine, not so much:

acuario - sign

salvaje - wild

Caslon: most immediately it is a swipe of my male cat's name. But his name, and the name of his sister, Bodoni, are the names of typefaces. Typography is one of my great blisses in life.

Caslon: extremely popular mid-18th century typeface designed by William Caslon. The US Declaration of Indepedence and Constitution were first printed in Caslon. The old printer's rule was: When in doubt, use Caslon.

Bodoni: first of the "modern" typefaces, designed in early 19th century by Giambattista Bodoni, court printer to the prince of Savoy. A form of Bodoni was used in IBM's print ads for years.

Last name begins with Matt, and it's always been a nickname because of that. The numbers are a mix up of the zip code I grew up in.

Warren is my middle name. its also the underground home of rabbits.

Well, I'm a "guy" and I live "in 773" area code of Chicago...hence.."in773guy"

Well I decided to take a new direction with my life. It appeared to be going no where. I guess I was trying to change the course by making it real with the screen name. I was born in 1966. Therefore, newdirection66.

Kev

colmdublin -- hahahaha

Caslon -- you should redo that photo of your cats so that their names are in the typefaces they're named after!

Satyricon = a gorgeous, homoerotic film by the famous Italian director Fellini, based on the extant shreds of Petronius' "Satyrica"

331 = my birthday

A friend was on Ebay & spotted someone with this name...and so I decided to use it too, due to my appreciation of the kitsch value of it (a la that so-awful-it's-painfully-good movie starring Olivia Newton-John...although I'm not a hardcore ONJ fan).

Well originally my name was WhiteGoodman, Ben Stiller's character in Dodgeball, simply because I find him hilarious, and then after a while everyone was calling me White or Whitey for short, so I just shortened it to Whitey.

Combination of pieces of my name and an important date to me.

it is actually get-to-know-it, some say (we will leave guiltygears name out) that its ghettoknowit like slumish.

formerly known as "expressionist" and deleted I went from doing things my way to demanding you to step into my shoes.

Mine is easy: R= Rick Sportsguy= my love for participating and watching sports for my whole life.

Rigsby was the name of my Cavalier King Charles Spaniel that died of a heart attack during Hurricane Wilma. Since we brought him over from England we thought an English name was appropriate...Rigsby was the name of a dirty old man character on an English sitcom named Rising Damp.

I surf, obviuosly, see pics in profile, and i suppose the warrior came from the fact i used to do martial arts, i usualy look like i'm crouching for the kill on a surf board, the maori war face i'm pulling in the surfing pic i suppose explians the rest


hmm i think i might have some pent up angst somewhere

Cause I'm Black. And I'm a jock. And I was born in 1979.

first name starts with the letter j = jay
last name starts with the letter w (doubleyou, dubja) = dub

I run a lot and do so in the city.

mine is from a lyric in a Rufus Wainwright song:

"...you sat in your chair thinking 'boy, i'm such a prince.'"

a friend told me it reminded her of me, and being the huge Rufus fan i am, i thought it was appropriate.

Mine is OLD in computing power years. I picked it when I'd just crammed a whole gigabyte of ram into my computer which, for the day, made it blazing fast. So in thinking of a name for a geek board I frequented, I decided to call myself "gigaram" to show my 'street cred.' I've held onto it ever since.

eb925guy....eb = east bay of SF area, 925...area code and guy...well, think I'm still one of those.... it's lame, I know! LOL

I am originally from Southwest Louisiana and I was born in 1982 so, Southwest Louisiana man 82

I feel your pain there! I went through that not too long ago and am still feel like crap about it even though I know I did the right thing.

Mine is kind of generic. ASU is for Arizona State University (go devils!) and PAS are my initials. Boring!

My real name is Arthur Q. Smass.

I was trying to think up something creative for a different web site and everything I tried was already taken. "Lissenup" popped into my head - spelled incorrectly - and I went with it. I've used it on several sites and it's never taken. It has absolutely no conscious meaning for me but I'm sure it has some kind of sub-conscious meaning if Freud was right. Some people think I am into dominance so occasionally I get interesting e-mails.

Gasp! Arthur Q. Smass? You're my long lost half brother! Don't tell our children. It would destroy them

I'm a stripper... and my stage name is Rocco.

I used to strip under my real name, Alexander. When i took a little break ANOTHER guy started using Alexander so i needed a new name.

I was watching an old Italian flick called "Rocco and His Brothers" which is about a boxer around the same time i started boxing... and people always told me i looked Italian.

I also remembered that Rocco is the name of Madonna's son... and i thought that that would be perfect!

So there you have it!

Simple,

currently living in Kyiv, Ukraine... but there is a dispute as to whether it should be Kyivite (as in Moscovite), or Kyivan (which is a literal translation from Ukrainian)!! I preferred the former!

DJ Bens has benn my nickname since
HS when I would spend hours making mix tapes. It carried over to my complilations I made on the computer and set through the internet.

Now its my DJ name, but soon to be changed to DJ Benson or just Benson, which is my name. I was born in 77.

Benign = No danger to (beneficial to others)

I like for everyone around me to have fun

(and no, I do not have cancer)

Gregg is my last name

SkyTran - I was so interested in this new form of transportation that I chose to use the name as a RJ screen name. Check out the website at www.skytran.net to see what it looks like.

I have been to one of their expos that was offered in Orlando Florida. They were talking with OIA and the Florida DOT at one time. I am not sure how that is coming along. The concept sounds incredible but they need funding to get it started. It takes up a much smaller footprint than mass transit does. I look forward to riding in one of these someday.

The word "Phoenix" is my favorite word. (Actually Nirvana is my favorite word, but I'm not a Buddhist and don't want people to think I am, and have ACTUAL Buddhists mad at me.) ANYWAY, I consider myself a phoenix for as many times as I have reinvented myself or was "reborn." But when you think of phoenix's you think of fire and burning, and frozen is the LAST thing you think of when you think of a phoenix. Since the two are COMPLETE opposites, and my life has been filled with almost NOTHING but opposites. Hence, FrozenPhoenix, but I didn't like it spelled out that long so I shortened the frozen to frzn.

FrznPhoenix

zdrew comes from my first and middle names, Zachary Andrew. The 78 comes from the year I was born.

Mysterious and deep, I know.

so now we can officially call you zach? thats one of my favorite boy names.

(the other one is Pequot...is doesn't come up as often as you might think)

DiverScience

I was trying to come up with something that contained the two halves of my life. I try very hard to balance the mental and physical aspects of my life. So... diver (I was a diver for years, masters programs are hard to find) and science (I'm a biochemist).

And because "CowboyStud" was already taken? Teeheee....

I don't really have an exciting story with my RJ name ... I was in graduate school, working towards a PhD in Chemistry, so chemguy79 seemed like a good fit. Well ... that and the fact that firecrotch79 was already taken.

Of course, I was incredibly naive and failed to realize that most gay men who come across my name typically assume that I'm into pnp, meth, *insert random drug acronym here*.

D'OH!

I have a cat named Comic Sans.

That's a lie.

When I joined, I thought this would be another site filled with douchebaggery. I was totally wrong. I was sick of the same, and this cured me.

On other sites, I am simonnewtboy because i had a pet newt name simon and people mocked me for it. I showed them.

My aim is CoDan01 because my cousin and his friends used to call me cousin dan. I'm too lazy to update a 15 year old aim name.

Arthur Q. Smass, thank you for living up to your name. You are 'laugh out loud at work' funny. My co-workers just don't understnad you...

Mine's easy JC are my initials. I went mostly by JC when I started bartending- I was pissed because my mom named me Jan and was tired of justifying it to people.

GWG - My initials

Trunks - Character from Dragon Ball.

Ruggers are rugby players. ATX is the nickname for Austin, TX. I added the other X at the front when I left the sport a few weeks ago. One of the easier ones to figure out.

I used to use "ranadelmaya"...rana=frog, del=of the, maya=maya. It represents my one and only tattoo.

another pretty straight forward one. name is nate, been called Nate the Great since I was kid, along with anyone else named Nathan.

So came up with n8dagrt, it's never used on any site, and it's what I always go with.

ursamajor saidUrsa Major (pronounced /ˌɝsəˈmeɪdʒɚ/) is a constellation visible throughout the year in most of the northern hemisphere. Its name means Great Bear in Latin, and is associated with the legends of Callisto and Cynosura.

Isn't this more commonly known as the big dipper?

mine is pretty straight foward. Just my name.

When I worked in government labs, they always taught us to choose user names and passwords by opening a couple of books at random, pointing blindly at the pages, and linking the two words and a page number. Then I got too lazy to walk to the bookshelf and started using two random pieces of paper on my desk. Eventually, this one came up and I thought it sounded pretty good, and there doesn't seem to be too much competition for it.

Boring as hell iknow, but i'm just j.k. it's my name nothing special or odd about it!

my bf nicknamed me pit, for pitbull, cuz he says when I get mad I am like a pitbull, and I have red hair soooooooo redbull

Ten years ago I needed something original for my e-mail address. I didn't want my first and last name or even a use of initials, so I came up with an amalgamation of my first and last name. I simply added the 4u as a friendly way of saying here's my e-mail letter "for you." I kept that at all of the sites I post, so I used it here. However, it was pointed out to me that at sites where people meet and chat, the "4u" part might sound a little clingy, so I've dropped it for the time being.

Something that I find REALLY strange, is that people will address or cite me as "Demarco" replacing the first 'a' with an 'e.' What I find strange about it is that that only happens at this board and happens 90% of the time. I don't care as it doesn't really matter, I am just curious about why it only happens here.

I'm not very creative when it comes to on-line handles.

Mine, is practically my name. Mike or Michael, my first name, as I'm sure most of you know, and Phil is part of my second name, but not the full spelling.

i am both a nice person AND my upper body is freakishly smooth (hairless)...oh yeah, and i live in l.a.- tough to decipher, right?

JockBoyTroy

Jock Boy is because I own Jock Boy Clothing (JockBoyLocker.com) and Troy is my name.

omg, Troy...nice site...

North is my nickname and Fl is for where I live now

jc_online saidMine's easy JC are my initials. I went mostly by JC when I started bartending- I was pissed because my mom named me Jan and was tired of justifying it to people.

Well, Jan, at least your Mom didn't name you Marsha or I would be able to say.... Marsha, Marsha, Marsha!

Note: to anyone under the age of 20 the above reference to Marsha, Marsha, Marsha! has to do with a popular 70's TV show called the Brady Bunch.

hahahahaha....

Mine is just Andrew J. M. move the "An" behind the drew, and add the initials JM. drewAnJM. Someone made it for me as a dj name.... DJ DrewanJ. Stuck with me somehow.

Just another stroke of creative genius: Denver is where I live, and Ryk is the way I spell my name (Rick)--so the two elided and....

tommysguns2000 saidomg, Troy...nice site...

I agree with Tommy--or JT here Troy! Great site!

Always been called BFG since I was about 6 I escape it for a few years and then it comes back again!!!!!

I thought I had done away with it in 2005 when I had to stop playing ruggers and when I joined Mens Health I was Bedfordguy. After a while people got bored of typing that and some smart arse called me BFG! Its been back ever since and I kinda think oh well may as well live with it. And not I dont have big ears, well in comparison to the rest of me ha ha ha ha

Long story but I'll try to keep it short. A group of friends used to call me Oracle because of my, then, keen insights and cryptic answers. When I came out, to keep my mom from finding out and being worried, I went with the psudonym Oren when I went out, and later, much later after mom found out, I changed it to AURYN (from the NeverEnding story) to really tie the old nickname and the new together.

As for my RJ name, my Zaadz and MySpace logins are "paradox surfer" and I shortened it to paradox on RJ.

i play guitar? i was born in 1985? ... your call einstein

My name is ALexander and i was born in 89.
My original screen name was skippyhappy69 which i still use on seperate profiles like justguys and stuff.
I was given the nickname skippy by a bunch of kids in new hampshire and whil i was in jobcorps told somebody who told everybody else.
I thought using the word happy would be somewhat comical because anothe r wrd for happy is gay which by definition means happy and care free
And 69 is simply my favorite sex position. I love sucking cock and mine needs the attention too. LQTM

Twincam saidTWINCAM, refers to the dual overhead cams often found in small, advanced and powerful engines like me

A bit eccentric are you?

Mine is a nickname version of my favourite league player. I use it on most sites I am joined on.

Mine is pretty easy...

Alpha = Alpha-Male
Den = My name is Dennis

Alpha-Male + Dennis = AlphaDen

I think mine is pretty self-explanatory.

thindy=terre haute indiana, where I currently live

24 is my age

I was sick of using opie for everything with a sign-in name...opie is a nickname I got as a kid because I guess I reminded people of Opie Taylor from the Andy Griffith show...and if anybody on here didn't know what skytran was talking about with the brady bunch...then I can't help ya with andy griffith.

Hmmm, and here was me thinking you identified closely with Thindy Brady....

my first boyfriend many moons ago used to tease me cuz i would be up and at the gym every day at 7 am no matter what. he used to say 'gee Mike do you think u are gonna die if you dont lift everyday?? is that it?? you have to LIFT OR DIE ???? LOL the rest....is internet history!! LOL

I pronounced it lift-ordy.

well now timber u know the true pronounciation as well as the meaing!! LOL

you learned me good

Mine is a childhood nickname

kinda like 'underoos'??!! LOL

That is an uncannily accurate guess.

Luckydog= A truly unique, purely New Orleans delicacy (hot dog) vended on many street corners in the French Quarter. Inspiration from my favorite book "Confederacy of Dunces".
Oh, "76", the bicentennial college graduating class.

I've used comale for years. Co for Colorado where I live most of the time and male for my gender.

i coined terra22 =D

haha no actually, Terra is the name of a boss from Final Fantasy 8

Terra was also one of the female heros in FF6. Wooo I get to use nerd knowledge lol.

I dreampt my name.
He was the King of Spade's Knight.

The major characters in the dream were 6 girls(mostly named after greek mythological figures who chose to be turned into trees and flowers and shit to avoid being raped by the gods) and 1 boy who were all facet's of some chick's multiple personality disorder.
In the dream they had to wake her up, but in doing so, would end their own existence.

However Briarhawk wasn't one of them. he was a character in the world they had to traverse to wake her.

Thank Goodness for serial dreaming!


if only i'd stuck around for the ending.
:-(
Been Briarhawk since umm...95?

My name has nothing to do with Star Wars--regardless of how much I like Star Wars.

Chewey is my fraternity nickname. It's a bit of a convoluted path to get there, but here goes.

John Clinton is my name (minus the middle name of course). The initials of that are JC. Those are also the initials of Jesus Christ. In Latin American countries, Jesus is a popular name, and many guys named Jesus are called Chewey. One of the alumni came up with this one.

Also, the Delt is short for Delta Tau Delta, my fraternity.

It's pretty much the same tag that I use on all boards.

Well now, let's see... I'd read so many profiles that began with "I'm just a down-to-earth, normal kinda guy..." and I knew I'd have none of that bosh – "just?"... "down-to-earth?"... "what's normal? and what sort of human aspires to such a thing?".

I was however inspired to come up with a nickname for myself; my real name being extremely uncommon on this side of the pond, I'd never been given a nickname growing up, never had a need for one. Also, my original RJ handle was DRKO, and I thought that it might, maybe, come off as dark, cryptic and gothic, so I wanted something that was the very opposite – light, buoyant, and effervescent.

All I knew from the get go was that I wanted something non-committal, non-descriptive, non-offensive, and non-numerical. Also, it should have no allusions to my real names, location, age, sport, personal interests, or overt sexual connotations. Yes, I was very certain that my new RealJock name should mean absolutely nothing at all.

It should be short and sweet – two syllables au maximum – and rather international in appearance and easily pronounceable to the greatest number of global citizens, and, hopefully, not mean something terribly rude in some non-European language.

I wanted something not too typically jock-like – surely Bubba and Moose were already taken, right? – yet nothing too far out in left field either. It should be whatever someone wanted it to be – cute as a puppy, or the nickname of a turbo-charged adrenaline junky, or be a cryptic anagram for a sadomasochistic cyberslut, or just as well be the sound of all antiquity like the echo of an oracle.

Furthermore, my actual surname contains the letter Ash (Æ) and I thought to myself "Gee, it'd be real nifty if I could work that into my screen name as well." "Something classical, perhaps? Grecian. Timeless. Immaterial. Hmmm." Oh, and it would be real sweet indeed if it could also end in "O" – just like my real given name – so that it would, despite all its intended obliqueness, sound unmistakably oh-so-very-masc, because – let's face it – some jocks aren't too swift on the pick up, if you know what I mean.

Naturally, me being the committed disciple of Minimalism that I am, I wanted the name to contain no more than four letters – the minimum required on RJ. Despite all of these many self-imposed constraints, I knew it would come to me, eventually.


Finally, while flipping through a magazine, I remembered the name of an interior design studio in NYC that I had visited on my last couple of trips, then – PIF! PAF! POUF! – voilà! Plus... a great-uncle in Europe – the relative I most resembled and admired – drove about in a pre-War Czech automobile up until the Eighties, the name of which I had forgotten decades ago:"Of course, the Aero!"


Keep it simple, I always say.

Mine has an interesting story behind it. Here's what happened. I was a sophomore in high school and I was in track as my sport. Anyways, one day while heading to a track meet, I sat in back with the jocks and we were socializing when they were talking about polishing their long swords (didn't know what they meant at the time being that I was naive). Anyways, they were still going at it and all of a sudden I said to knock it off. Well, I didn't count for my voice to go high but it did. So first thing that came to their minds was that I didn't hit puberty. They didn't care for it and one of the seniors said I sounded like I swallowed a bunch of helium. Hence the nickname Helium was given to me. At first I hated it but now I accepted it and it's something that I don't mind using at all.

now i am interested to hear you sing!!!

RnrActinTech

My three passions as an undergrad
Running = Runner --> Rnr
Acting -->Actin
Techie (behind the scenes in theatre) --> Tech


Nothing crazy, just uber descriptive

Native = I'm part Native American (also Scottish, Greek and German)... but my Native ancestry is what I feel the strongest connection to...

Dude = I've been in a lot of bands over the years and there's always some guy in each band that always calls me "dude"... Go figure...

I was going to use one of my other screen names but I was just tired of being aarmand (my favorite Anne Rice vampire... with an extra "a" in front) and Nitewing (my favorite comic book superhero, spelled differently) was taken, though I haven't found anyone by that name on here.... Then I was going to use my totem animal, but Raven was also taken... so I just stuck Native and Dude together...

KryptonianAdrian - i'm a comic geek, i have Superboy (Conner Kent) plastered all over my computer screen. And of course my actual name is Adrian

Cosmico is a spanish word for cosmic so I just just changed the "C" for a "k" and the vouls as well to make it look different but almost sound the same.

The handle really has nothing to do with me, Its just a handle.

Usually handles I like are already taken by others.

It's MARCIA Brady. You call yourselves fans?

art_smass saidIt's MARCIA Brady. You call yourselves fans?

:::: hanging head in shame ::::

Toastmaster



some of you guys may have heard about the toastmasters and who knows some of you guys might be brilliant speakers, since i am a member myself and love to speak in public i choose this name.

its just my name = william (but I go by Billy)
my middle initial = w (wayne)
my age =30

boring I know, but practical

I've used two names for an extended period:

SFGymBob - when I lived in SF, started going to the gym, and went by "Bob" - (Robert has always been my first name).

PSBigJoey - when I moved to Palm Springs, changed my middle and last names (middle name now Joseph- but I use "Joey") and the "big" part I'll leave pleasantly ambiguous.

- J

PS: My partner's screen names are far more interesting.

My initials, phonetic alphabet =) Piece of cake.

But to be fair, I do go by "Mike" a lot.

MINE !!! In real life I am a dad, and its about the most important thing in my life. (now a 3 times over grandpa) SHHHHHHH !!! just keep that between us, cause some would be icked out by talking to a GRANDPA --- EWWWWWWW YUUUUUUUCK !!!! YOUR OLD !!!!! I can hear it now !!! LOL !!!!!! SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH !!!

hmm K is from my firt name, snow because i board alot and love the snow, and 88 is the year i was born. so tada!

I live on Martha's Vineyard and I'm a homo.

VineyardHmo saidI live on Martha's Vineyard and I'm a homo.

Sounds like an AA meeting...
Everybody in unison: "Hi, homo."

mine's pretty easy- the two identities that defined me for the longest...

college+military

mike is my name
logan is my dog
2 is my birthday/favorite number

Emmylou Harris was singing as i signed up 'going across the country singing loud as i can...one of these days' and it just clicked...

I'm not very materialistic, yet the one possession that I have that means the most to me is my bicycle. When I signed up for realjock, the username I first tried was already taken. The term "roadbike" popped into my head and it wasn't in use, so that's how it came to be.

well i used to own a holden commodore,and imy ex got a sticker made up that said commodore boi. lol

EESTANOL? edward...estanol
i'm quite creative, i know

Years ago, I would hate registering on a website only to find that the username I wanted had already been taken.

To make a new name that I was sure no one else would have, I combined an Aztec name with a Mayan name and produced Atlazeia. I like it.

Topher is a nickname that my nephew gave me..short for Christopher, which is my real name. 79 is the year I graduated from highschool..damn, I'm old..but still kickin ;-)

My RJ name is based on a famous grand boulevard in San Francisco called Van Ness Avenue which used to be a mansion row during the gold rush era in California in the late 1850's. After the earthquake of 1906, the vast number of mansions burned to the ground on the eastern side of the street.

Van Ness Avenue itself is named after James Van Ness, the Mayor of San Francisco from 1855-1856.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Van_Ness

I happen to live near Van Ness this street, and kinda took a shine to the name...but you can just call me Van!

Real clever, huh? lol.

AirForceGuy75... because I'm unoriginal and couldn't come up with anything better. But mainly because I'm in the US Air Force and I was born at the end of 1975.

I think that my name is probably one of the most ingenious and original names on here:

Wyo= I'm from Wyoming
Lifter= I like lifting weights


I know that a lot of you have been wondering at the genius behind the name, so now you know!

As a kid whose real name is Jack (not short for anything) you always hear jokes that incorporated hijack, jack off, and jack-in-the-box. A clever kid in eighth grade once rattled off "Dr. Jackyll," and I've never forgotten it.

a colleague at work, a non-runner, called me the "running stud" after I ran my first marathon so I took it on for RJ

For 11 years I used a variation of the same screename and was finally tired of it. I always pride myself on being true to myself and my nature. I'm very nice, very kind-hearted and empathetic to a point that is almost unhealthy. I get very invested in people once I'm somehow connected. A lot of times, however, i'm slapped in the face with people who are inconsiderate, cruel, and, on occasion, just plain crazy (case in point, the stranger on the street who slapped me across the face for no reason...). To protect myself, I have some bitchy tendencies. The other part simply refers to where I live (Astoria -- queens, ny). So...

genqb = genuine queens bitch

It may not be the coolest name, but it's mildly amusing and it's a somewhat appropriate representation of who I am.

Yogasea I chose because yoga is one of the most grounding things I can do for myself, and meditational exercise is right up my alley. Sea is short for Seattle, AND I'm a lover of the ocean (Pisces, go figure).

I was gonna do chakrajade (jade is such a beautiful stone, close to green, green chakra = heart chakra, big thing for me), but for a fitness website, I figured focusing on yoga would be more apropos.

DR + STORM = PhD + being a weatherman. Storm is my nickname. Kevin is my real name.

AND I got lucky moving to CA - I managed to get "DRSTORM" as my personalized license plate!

PEACE

daWeatherMan

It is my ebay name also, I try to keep things simple.

At 6' 2" I am TALL and a Gay, White Man (GWM) and playing competitive Volleyball is one of my passions.... simple, eh?

I'm a Star trek fan, not a trekkie, (probably, but I haven't acknowledged that side yet!!!) And I love the "Best of both worlds" episode when Picard was assimilated by the Borg and was called Locutus. So I decided as a homage to the show to call my screen name Drakutis with a slight change.

My first name is Drake and the rest is obvious. Been using that name for years!!

Good times, good times!!!!

I'm an actor now but was an elite athlete (tumbler and diver) all my life. I still train like I did when I was competing. 10 is my lucky number and was a goal all my life (the perfect 10).

JP = Jeffrey Paul
Rich = Richmond
Va = Virginia

I started using this name when I lived in Richmond, which was quite a while ago, so you can see exactly how lazy I am about changing screen names.

Contrary to what a lot of people think my nickname means, it has nothing to do with Los Angeles.

I played recreational lacrosse and was a Level 1 technical coach training little tykes how to play the sport, cradle carry, shoot etc.

I consider myself a jock and 73 is the year of my birth -- hence LaxJock73.

Crimthann is a name shared by four ancient Irish kings, to include Crimthann mac Fidaig, High King of Eiru (circa 4th BCE). In ancient Gaelic it means "Fox" (a nickname I've had since I was a bartender and go-go boy/shot boy when I was 19 and working in Worcester).

It is also my name in the SCA (Society for Creative Anachronism) where I portray a 1st CE Irish Celt/former Roman slave. Fully I am known as: Crimthann Becc mac Ceadda Ui Cruach, called Vulpinus by the Romans.

translation: Little Fox, son of Chad, of the Tribe of the Hill, called Fox by the Romans.

My real name is Chad. I chose Crimthann to honor my Irish ancestry as well as the nickname I've held for many years. Foxes are always small, often underestimated, and nearly always portrayed as mischief-makers in folk tales across the globe.


It is pronounced CREEV-thon but it sounds better if you add in the Irish accent!

Single Cell Orchestra is what a musician from S.F.
calls himself on a couple of electronica releases back in the mid nineties.
(Apparently he has a new CD out, but I haven't kept up.)
I listened to his eponymous release constantly back then...

I took it for my screen name on this site and others
because I loved that CD, and thought I'd probably remain single for a long, long time.
Up until about a month ago, that is - thank God for Gregg!

I wanted something running related but couldn't think of anything that sounded interesting. Then 'treader' popped into my head. It sounded perfect.

Then a little bit later, I realized why 'treader' popped into my head. I was listening to Spring Heel Jack's 'Treader' album (drum n' bass) a few days before. Here's the album on Amazon if anyone is curious:
http://www.amazon.com/Treader-Spring-Heel-Jack/dp/B00004RJ1E/ref=m_art_li_4

VineyardHmo> I live on Martha's Vineyard and I'm a homo.

novembermike> Sounds like an AA meeting...

I was going to say the same thing. Also this one:

timberoo> My name is Tim and I am a marsupial.


Anyhow, my partner gave me a ring in Caesarea.

4 is my jersey number.

Also kinda obvious...If I were to pass any of you guys walking down the street it wouldn't even occur to me that you were gay unless you were wearing that T shirt that says "No one knows I'm gay". So do me a favor, if you ever bump into me on the street, bump into me and say hello!

A lot of people do ask me this.

I was reading a interview about someone public speaking. They talked about how it felt like they, "were on stage butt naked" instead of the audience being naked. The word 'butt' was in the margin of the book and I read 'buff'. I thought It was cool and coined it as my new online handle.

Plus sometimes I find myself stripping at a club.
& I love to be in my underwear. It fits.
I enjoy being stared at.

Well, mine's obvious, too ... I'm a dancer, and I train and lift enough as well to consider myself a jock ... I particularly am not fond of those guy dancers that don't have a chest, because they look emaciated on stage (pushed me to lift more). But, I should have added something about Science, since that's what I'm in school for ....

Dexter was my fraternity mascot. Couldn't think of anything else at the time. Also, born in '80

ok so...I was in my Junior Year of University when I started the Real Jock thang. During this time period, I was takng Spanish 4 to perfect mi espanol, y antes, estaba leyendo cosas sobre el Franco,el hombre terrible de Espana (en los opiniones de los espanoles). Entonces, yo, cuando estaba buscando nombres para my cuenta de RealJock, queria halgo que gente, hombres, puedan a buscarme con un identificacion que tiene un parte de mi nombre, Francisco, con halgo que significa poder...Entonces, el resulto fue Franko, y despues yo puse el ano que naci. And that is how I got my name....Yay!

LoneWolf66...My tattoo was done in 2006 and is of a lone wolf howling at the moon. I love it. (check out my profile if you wanna see it!) It also has a lot to do with how alone I feel these days. And the 66 part is the year of my birth.

because I'm a redheaded dude

My name is woody and I don't wear clothes

Kebab......Because i live in the land of Kebab's and i am Hot and Spicey!

Powertrip... I really don't know, I like superheroes and I guess I was feeling superheroic when I signed in for RJ. Every screen name I submited was already taken, so what always happens to me happened again: I typed the first thing that came to mind and that turned out to be available so I kept it.

I always go by Rainmaker on my other profiles since I'm kind of a good listener and people always end up telling me their problems and secrets and many of them end up crying without me doing anything to produce that effect. At first I hated when that happened, I blamed myself and used to go by RAINMAKER (you know, tears = rain... what a genious I was back then ). Then I found it useful, learned the proper technique, got a license and started charging for it. People don't cry that much anymore and even if they do, they tend to leave smiling.

I forgot

Fun to read through this thread!

There's a little creativity behind mine, my parents named me Adam out of a strong desire for biblical roots. Eden references the story of Genesis and a 'perfect life', being Out of Eden is a double entrende for leaving behind perfection and living the openly gay, out, life.

It's the word that describes me best. I love traveling and trying new things. It keeps life interesting.

zephyr = the west wind

phoenix = the mystical firebird that is constantly reborn.

One is a recurring word in a couple of my favourite songs. One is a mystical bird that I like a lot (I'm planning on getting a phoenix tattooed on me somewhere.

I also like dragons, but dragonphoenix sounded way lamer. And anyways, Madonna and the Peppers both sang a song about zephyrs and not dragons. *nods*

Skeezix was the good hearted simple-minded mechanic, from the old comic strip "Gasoline Alley". Around my family growing up, this name was used on occasion as an affectionate insult, usually if you did or said something dopey. I found myself using that name on my nephews at times, when they were younger, and being silly. When deciding on a user name, it's really just the first name that popped into my mind. Wikipedia says the word means motherless calf.

Sign because I am majoring in ASL
Boy because I was under 21 still
07 is the year I moved away to college

I got my name cause i'm a big ol slacker!!! And the second part of this site it Jock, so i just married them together.

SxyDrkHair = Sexy Dark Hair. I have black hair. so.... that is why i have this screen name.

A superficial reaction. A veritable nuisance, but rather inevitable given prolonged immersion in sultry environs. It comes and goes.

dillons (where i work) guy4400( sex and number)

Rholaenos, pronounced something like “Roll-Lie-Nose”, or maybe easier to think of it like a breakfast cereal: “Rollin’ Oh’s”

My primary Dungeons & Dragons character is a noble wizard, a necromancer named Roland of Redmarsh first played back in 2nd edition. When I was updating the character for 3rd edition, I was given permission by my new dungeon master to choose an actual noble family mentioned in the official rulebooks for the Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting to interweave his story into.

The family that seemed to fit the bill was House Karanok of Luthcheq. Here he would become the unmentioned black sheep of the family for being both a wizard (this crazy family burns them at the stake for being ‘witches’) and a necromancer (everybody seems to hate necromancers).

To better incorporate him into the (pseudo-Greek) flavor of the Karanok family mentioned in official rulebooks I wanted to reverse-engineer a more formal name for him (in the same manner in which the nickname “Bill” refers to someone named “William”). I used patterns of other male character names mentioned in the campaign setting rulebooks for House Karanok such as Maelos, Jaerios, and Naeros.

Roland –> to make more “Greek-ish” and fit the pattern of the other names - expanding the “Ro” to “Rho” and the “la” to “lae” and finally changing “nd” by removing the “d” and adding “os” to become “nos” -> Rholaenos

I later noticed after the completion of my new creation I had happened upon something that was uniquely mine in the (real-life) world so I could also use it as my screen name. I performed some Google searches before its initiation to confirm this. As far as I could ascertain, it is, in fact, truly unique. All instances of it should be related to my online identities or its original intended purpose, the more formal first name of Roland.

Tah-Dah! Do I win a prize for most complicated?

So I was at work one day (I work at Starbucks), lets call it this past Sunday, and I noticed someone was standing by the bar watching me for a couple minutes. So, of course, I asked if they were still waiting on a drink.

"No, I just like watching you work"

I kinda laughed awkwardly and tried not to get creeped out by a random watching me work. I engaged in some minor chit-chat about how freaking busy it was and how I hadn't stopped moving in about 20 minutes and how normally when it's this busy we don't work the bar alone. The customer said:

"You're doing a great job. I have never seen anyone sling a latte as fast and accurate as you have been..There's never been more than 3 or 4 drinks lined up behind you."

Hence, latteslinger. Kinda like a gunslinger...but with lattes. Heh.

iamsolamesometimes

Mickey: a nick-name for Michael (like Michael Jagger, Michael Fleetwood); or a mouse we all know.

Topogigio: a puppet/cartoon mouse popular on the Ed Sullivan Show 40 years ago. Phonetically similar to my own name. Topo means mouse in Italian.

Basically sums up my existence on the site. As cheesy as it sounds I'm learning and growing, on my way to something I can be proud of both physically and mentally.

I'm a filmmaker. I speak French.

I am not French in terms of nationality, but I travel to France often, and I feel at home there.

I got muttskins from school, a friend of mine knew i liked dogs and gave me this nickname. Its weird really, but i stuck to it.

lol

My major was computer science, hence the CS part. Robbie is the name of the guy I had a crush on in high school, and 2000 was the year I graduated from college.

analyticalbrewer -
Analytical because I'm an analytical chemist graduating with my Master's degree from the Colorado School of Mines
Brewer because I brew beer, meads and cylers, most of which are high alcohol content (>8%)

Living in Colorado, there is no sense in trying to create a name based of activities, if so I would have the name dunerunnerclimb14erstoskitricyclehiker or something stupid like that.

I'm tired of using writer names, I don't wanna use my real name (or my birth year, 1955), I am a nut about photography and have been since 1971, when I decided my Brownie Bullet would not cut it. It's gotten to the point where people at reunions don't recognize me until I take Nikon in hand.

Hell, I comment on the photos I find on this site more than anything.

Besides, totalstudhotman was too long.

Portland, Oregon

Friends keep saying I have an eye for detail and swoop in to pick out their conversations like a hawk waiting for prey.

My screen name is borrowed from an esoteric Anatolian saint whose execution by relentless sodomy is remembered once a year in a popular springtime rite. In the ritual, the church reverses the ordinary definitions of sin and the keys to everlasting paradise are awarded to those who fuck the most ass.

Okay ... I was raised on a farm in South Dakota, so it's basically in honor of my home state.

Seriously, people from South Dakota are GENUNINELY nice and kind and sweet and pretty nosy, but they are good people.

i'm afraid mine is far more cryptic than any that have been on here so far...

GREAT thread my friend!
-Ted

Sporty_g saidSome of the names are fascinating, some funny, some cryptic, or whatever. Can you tell the story behind how you picked your name?

I am "Sporty_G"....I got this nickname from a guy on my softball team in the early 90's...he used it once in public with the rest of the team there in a game and then at the bars afterward and it stuck. I have used it ever since...."thank you" for the name Carleton where ever you are now.

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!

Cool. I have an Anatolian Shepherd Dog. Do know the Anatolian saint's name? I've looked through the Catholic "Book of the Saints", but assume that this saint is part of the Eastern Rite. Let me know--I'd like to know his name.

Yeah... I'm a huge chicago cubs fan, ever since i was little.

I was born in 1986. I use this nickname (or a version of it) on most sites.

Funny.... cause bear types IM me a lot and ask if I'm into bears and cubs and that stuff.

Yep. Super interesting nickname.

cubsfan1986 saidYeah... I'm a huge chicago cubs fan, ever since i was little.

That is so funny Cubsfan!! Boiler Up!! (I have friends who went to Purdue)!!!

Rocko saidLike Stripper Rocco, I was a Stripper too, and need a name that was manly, and strong, so I take Rocco, the name of Madonna's son, but I change the double (cc) for (ck) and now the name really Rock's.

Also Rocco is a character in a tv series for childrens. Wanna see more of Rocko: (me) lol search in: You Tube by Rocko Villalobos.

P.D My real name is Jose Angel

Heh, I used to love Rocco Modern Life... wow, I'm sad, haha

Caslon I love your cats!!!



Anyway, mine is simple.

I'm on my way up. The (adopted) name of my favorite musical artist, Shania, means "I'm on my way" (from her stepfather's native tribe of Ojibwa, her real name is Eileen Lange) and her last studio album was "Up!" therefore my name, eh?

Sometimes I use UnimatrixZero from Star Trek...

Well Deron is my name. Most people call me Dee. Devilish was the name I went by back when "danced"

Curious about life & love (and where the heck is my "soul mate"?!?!)...love sports...live in AZ

My hair colour is actually champagne-blonde but I thought champagne-blondguy might not go down too well with you butch, macho, straightacting workout freaks.

Cocky Jock is what friends call me - it started in my fraternity house (a hundred years ago - go ahead and add up the years - I see you through this screen!)

my first email address -- assigned by the isp I was using -- easy to remember -- not creative at all -- sorry!

DreamDrop is an old rave name that I used to go by. Back in new orleans everyone in the scene had a special name that summed up their character. I was one of those guys who would get dressed up in some wild clubkid get up. Metallic, neon colors, and fake fur was my uniform.

Mine is Mr. Waddles ... if you really want to know what it means ... message me or email me ... ill explain it to you!

obscenewish saidMy screen name is borrowed from an esoteric Anatolian saint whose execution by relentless sodomy is remembered once a year in a popular springtime rite.

OW....spingtime arrives this week! When do we get to celebrate your screen name and what and who do we need to do?....I'm up for a "SLAMMIN'" good time! LOL! Just looking forward to being "awarded everlasting paradise"!LOL!!!

My handle is a condensation of the phrase, SQUirrels ARE Just AWful cute.

1) one of my favorite songs is F.C.P.R.E.M.I.X.

2) I am a junior and my initials are JDB and so are my dads, thus JDB_REMIX, because you hant put periods in the name

evilgemini:

East Village (home sweet home)
Gemini (star sign)

strangely some people seem to think i'm referencing the evil ways of my fellow gems...

Mine is something my friends called me from junior high through college. It's a play on my last name.

mine is my name + my age. tried to keep the confusion to a minimum for all you meat heads haha

Wow this thread is anceint! Hahaha. N E Hoo! My name comes from a nickname my polish grandmomma gave me as a kid. It was her superhero name for me when I would walk a dog twice my size, stand up to bullys and walk in the dark by myself. And 1348 because I'm a dork at the renaissance fairs, and am interested in the dark ages and the gothic period.

jocksera... its a motivation to me in Spanish as I work to get back in shape.

Jock = obvious, refering to body type not mentality
sera = future tense 3rd person form of "to be"

Yea, I know... its kind of like speaking in 3rd person to yourself. Think of it as the little voice in your head that keeps telling you to "Push harder!" and "One more rep!"

I'm a gringo, but I love Mexican/Latino/Hispanic culture and the Spanish language. A friend told me I left the 'gringo' category a long time ago... so he calls me Guerito (little white boy).

WELL MY E-MAIL ADDRESS IS BLAZYNBILLY AND FRIENDS JUST CALLED ME BLAZYR FOR SHORT GO FIGURE

I have used two others, but don't remember what they were. I chose the current one because I feel like no matter what I do, I am screwed. Don't know how the loose fits, but the screwed definately does (and not in a good way).

My favorite character from the Resident Evil game series...Chris Redfield.

My name is Raul, and I like it how it sounds with the Spanish accent; but people ALWAYS kill it when they try to pronounce it. I get:

"roll"
"row-l"
the way you pronounce 'paul' but with an R instead
"Rahl"
..and many others

SO, I got tired of it and started spelling it out phonetically:

raw_OOL

My name spells Morning Dew when you move the letters around. I think there is a word for what that is called, but I can't remember it.

demonwring saidMy name spells Morning Dew when you move the letters around. I think there is a word for what that is called, but I can't remember it.

Anagram.

"igz3112"


My name is ignacio and friends/family call me iggie or igz for short. 31 was my football jersey number and 12 was my soccer number. so there you have it, igz3112

I love mythology and the story of Icarus has always been hands down my favorite myth.
It really sums up my personality

"innerathlete" comes from the idea that I always felt I had a hidden athletic streak even though I was a clumsy, uncoordinated kid. I always told myself I was not physically adept at anything but knew deep down that wasn't true. I joined this site just as I was prodding my "inner athlete" to come out. I'm working out now very seriously and once I have gotten where I want weight/body fat wise, I want to do other things like climbing, martial arts, surfing, etc. Physical fitness is a love/hate thing for me because I feel a real calling to it but I have had to wage a huge war on my negative internal voices to stick with it - there has been major resistance. I've come really far - and have a long way to go...

Vlas is short for Vlastos (as in Gregory Vlastos, famous Plato scholar... and also the name of my WoW character).

Covenant = From Halo
0913 = Birthdate
I love videogames, what can I say?

Because I was in the spartan club at school a long time ago...... in a far off place.

"Sonu" represents Male beauty, the name originates from Urdu/Hindi/Sanskrit, 78, the year of my birth. Though you all cant see the "sonu" in me because i dont have a pic posted yet, but will be posted soon.....

My real jock I.D. is Uncutfan . . . because I'm a fan of the uncut!

urban = i love city life
guy = because i am one
9/11 = my birthday

bg = initials
cat = childhood nickname
57 = birthyear

For mickeytopogigio:

"Eddy, kiss me goodnight."

OneToughGuy:

One: I am one person. Though I have a clone (Twin Bro)

Tough: I like to think I am. In a four year period I was going to college, parents pasted, went to war, gruaduated, moved far away from the family. Plus, I lift and love to wrestle.

Guy: I Check every morning. Yup, I'm a guy.

I was surprised it was not taken already when I signed up.

Curious about life in general, love sports, live in Arizona

Everyone thinks the "Eor" portion refers to the donkey, which may mean I'm an ass haha. It actually is broken down into three things. The "E" stands for East, the "Or" is the first two letters of the city I live in and the "36" was how old I was when I first became a member of RealJock

I dont know...some of you may not get it. Its extrodinary hard. ok here we go!!

Jesus= My name...some times people call me G-sus
N= where Im at
PHX= Phoenix....where i reside


even I was lost for a minute in this one. Love Ya!!

Code is what my friends and family call me (Short for Cody) and Joe is my middle name. So Code_Joe.
I've had the same nickname since 1992.

Firefighter - I have about 15 years of fire & rescue experience
Blue - My favorite color

Blu3 because many years ago I went by the nick of Blu3Viper primarily. Blu3Viper because BlueViper was already taken. Vipber has no particularly fantastic meaning, but I chose it because back then I was the nemesis of system crackers. I hunted them down, then laid in wait with traps to bust their ass.

Respect Yourself - Yeah....not what you think i chose it for. It's accually the first japanese song i fell in love with. Her name is Sugar Soul. Also liked the name and lyrics.

Pretty self explanatory. I'm not from Texas, but I wanted a name to make me sound hot....hence the name.

It's my first and middle names.

Not very creative.

rower - cuz i row, well, used to
boy - well, yeah, haha

BULL...because one of the first guys I was with said I was hung like a Bull. 1962 is the year I was born.

retarded asshat was already taken

because ohmikeohmikeohohohmikeohyeah

was a bit too long a screen name.

muscletrainerdh

"muscletrainer" - I am a personal trainer and I lift weights

"dh" my initials

I've got the handle on most IM protocols too! AOLIM, MSNIM, YAHOOIM.

So my iternet identity is solid.

My name is Ben(jamin) so one of my friends always calls me Bunjamon. And it stuck.

RealAmericanHero is a reference from the theme song from 80s cartoon GI*JOE.

I'm a high school history teacher and always thought of myself of some sort of hero.

Bunjamon saidMy name is Ben(jamin) so one of my friends always calls me Bunjamon. And it stuck.

It also makes you sound like a wicked top! BUN-JAM-ON!

LOL

I love cosmopolitan but the name was taken so I chose metropolitan which is a drink like the cosmopolitan.

My screen name on here is
javaman9999

I don't program and I don't drink coffee (unless it's a double chocolate chip frappuccino from Starbucks - but that's not coffee, it's candy)
It came from the various mispronunciations of my real name (Javier) in high school (went to school in central-florida). There was a kid who couldn't pronounce it at all who called me Excalibur. Anyway, javaman was taken on most sites so I put four 9s after it and there ya go.

My screen name on FFXI was:
darmok

That came from my favorite episode of Star Trek: TNG

interesting story.

in high school use to stay up late at night (even though i had a bed time) to peruse the internet for straight porn. it was a bitch because the only computer i had at home was the family computer and it was in the dining room, pretty close to my parents rooms. man did i have some close calls.

well anyways, a few sites i looked at were free cam sites that required user names in order to view and/or chat. so i completely made up the screen name joarky123, thinking that it sounded somewhat scandinavian in origin (a little naive and ignorant i would say)

I still use this handle (and others) to this day for other such sites, albeit my tastes in pornography have...expanded to include other 'genres'

High Voltage is a song sung by Linkin Park. I love the down tempo beats of this song and the styling of the ryhmes. Guy, well...that should be obvious.

I live in Portland, Oregon. I know, not very creative!

Devilboy77...

I got this nickname back in college. First off, my real name is Damian and you can guess where this is going... as in The Omen. I would always be called son of satan or demon or yes... Devilboy. Being into the whole hard rock/metal scene did not help either . Therefore, I embraced it and 77 is my birth year. Ta dah... DEVILBOY77! Rock out with your cock out! *Devilhorns*

hmmm not sure.... OMG I really don't know!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Because im (usually) very busy, working alot, a few times taking on two jobs...

Brady is my last name but I use it as my first. Try growing up with the name Jonathan Paul Brady and you get every nickname in the book thrown at you when there are at least two Jon/John/Jonathan's in every class/job/neighborhood/anything. I went to college and started calling myself Brady because a few High School friends did, then college friends did, and then it sorta stuck. I have the additional bonus of using my last name as my first and knowing the difference between those who knows "me" and those that know my "name" simply by how they address me. I get called "Jonathan" by colleagues that never bothered to get to know me. I don't correct them.

Timberoo saidMy name is Tim and I am a marsupial.

Yup! I've always been impressed by the big pouch!

Cheers, from

I use blunt_ a lot because apparently I'm too blunt when I get hit on at the bars.

My main SN is CitizenReplaced though, due to me dying twice when I had my accident and coming out a whole new man. Sorta like a Terminator.

My first name is Ru. Last name is Bhatt.

roux = ru
bot = bhatt

dj rouxbot is actually my spinning alias.

Tiger has been my nickname since undergraduate days... more recently "Le Tigre" ... and I'm called Tim!

No explanation required.

I should try to be more creative.

Crimthann said
It is pronounced CREEV-thon but it sounds better if you add in the Irish accent!

I'm Fred and I live in Portland Oregon, or "PDX" (the airport code). My handle on other sites is "PechtMex" Pecht as in the old Scots word for the "small dark people of the hills" (I had to quote Crimthann since he also has an obscure reference to a Celtic dialect) or Picts, which if you look at the rock art and pictures of my father and grandfathers there's no mistaking the resemblance.

I'm also 1/4 Zuni 1/4 Spanish, which confuses people so I often opt out and just say I'm half Scots and half Mexican.

Most people found PechtMex too confusing, so now I'm FredPDX.

I have no idea how, but a friend of mine came up with mine several years ago and he used to use it for his aim screename (with some numbers though) but he doesn't use anymore, and I liked it so I use it. Pudco is one of several screenames I have across the net.and ironically it's the only one that has no meaning really, haha.

Clearly born in 1969--definitely one of the most notable news years in the last century.

I get a kick out of people who create a profile name with their current age in it. And they keep it for years to follow as if they're Peter Pan and don't age.

I've taught Group Exercise Classes for over 13 years. I teach Step, Spin, Hi/Lo, Sports Conditioning and Interval Classes, and Muscle Classes. I am also a NATC instructor (Nike Athletic Total Conditioning). Everything I wear has a "swoosh" on it. Group Ex Instructors that are under contract by Nike are known as Nike Athletes. Hence my screen name....nikeathlete.

Love that this thread was revived.

Whenever I reveal one of the details of my screen name, people guess the other two...
ri=Rhode Island, where I live
gary=first name
mi=Michigan, where I'm from

I started the account while in grad school in NYC... hence the NYC10012.

My actual name is "Marc Anthony" hence the "ma." I always have it somewhere in my handle because it's unique (ignore the pop star J.Lo married).

Timberoo saidMy name is Tim and I am a marsupial.

Like a sugar glider, right?

I think these buggers are much cuter than kangaroos.

I used to have these super cute buggers. I miss them.

my profile name is one of my favorite bands.

Mine is sort of self explanatory.

Much More Than Muscle.

Simply implies that I'm more than a gym rat. I like a lot of different things in life. Some people have expressed that my name oozes arrogance but it's not meant to be taken that way. I'm not trying to express that I'm better. I've had people meet me and then after interacting with me say something along the lines of, "Well, I thought you'd be stupid but I was wrong." It's always a pleasant feeling when people severely underestimate you before getting to know you.

Sean is my name of course... and i was born in 1985. Not very creative but its straight to the point.

the airline abreviation for colorado springs is COS... but on other sites, i'm a myriad of other things... connexion i'm timidpup- a lot of guys assume its sexual, it actually has to do with how i interact with others... most of my others are viewfromthepeak... it started as my youtube opinion page because i live at a high altitude...

I think GregStevensTX is fairly straight-forward.

Although it was a pain in the butt when I moved to Dallas from LA and had to change all of my account names from GregStevensLA to GregStevensTX.

At almost 6' 2" I am a tall guy, a Gay White Man and playing competitive volleyball is one of my 2 passions.

demonwring saidMy name spells Morning Dew when you move the letters around. I think there is a word for what that is called, but I can't remember it.

It's called an anagram

issacd; after St Issac of Dalmatia. I got that from a documentary on TV.

pretty transparent... I'm a guy, and a lot of my life involves judo

I went to Purdue and our line is 'boiler up' since we are the Purdue Boilermakers...anyways, if you want more boiler up facts, google it. And the 616 is the area code of where I use to live in Michigan.


BOILERUP!

I love the villians in most movies and Barricade was the Decepticon Police car in the Transformers movie....."To punish and enslave"

I got tired of trying to come up with clever screen names for my online accounts. So my RJ name is just my first name, enclosed in x's. I know.. lame.

Favorite character from my favorite TV show, Firefly.

My RJ name = my initials (RPM) + my favorite sport to play = soccer

I picked 'offshore' because offshore wind is great for surfing. Also it has a remote connection to travelling as well.

I chose my current one because it sounded moderately obnoxious.

my name comes from the japanese word.

what does it mean? .... google it

Jango Fett is a character from Star Wars, and one of my cats is named Jango (the other is named Boba- yep, true Star Wars geek here). I work in the Fitness industry and try to keep myself fit, so play on words "JangoFit" was born.

E-st-st-stutter...er

JayneCobb saidFavorite character from my favorite TV show, Firefly.

Great character, love the screenname. And fantastic show!

iguanaSF saidWhat's not to love?

Cool picture. I owned an iguana once. It died. It was too much work for too little reward as far as pets go, so I never got another one, but still very cool animals.

D= My frist initial
Force= My energy
D4orce= da force= The Force
4= My lucky number
D4orce

umm, mine is especially random and without true meaning.

while thinking of a name to come up with, i was talking/singing to myself outloud (as i often do), and then i just blurted out a little song i heard once in a movie... i think it was "Michael" with Travolta where he plays an Angel. but Andie McDowell had a scene where she randomly sang, "Me oh my... i love pie" in that andie mcdowell accent of hers... and it just stuck!

then while singing that outloud, i thought, hey, why not use Me Oh My!
i left out the "i love pie" bit... but it's true, i do love pie.

ok so this name is like my 3rd name on this site. I did Nickwolf because my ex called himself a lion, and I just thought... if hes an animal, why cant i be? and I love lycans and just wolves in general! so there :p

nv7

It's french, it means nv7. Yeah that.

I was going to choose studjock, or jockstud, or musclejock, or jockmuscle, or something along those lines, but when I googled those screen names or screen names like those, I came up with 1,234,032 hits.

Okay, the real reason I chose nv7 is because I liked the way the characters looked together.

It's a sportbike term. When making a sharp curve the rider drags his knee on the road. Since growing old, this is something I no longer do

Hello. I've just joined.

When I set up my first online profile, I was 20, and had blue hair.

So people used to call me 'blue', or 'blue jamie'.

I've always used the same username. I've never understood how people can juggle so many.

dfrw represents my initials.

Mine comes from an old friend I used to date - let's call him J. J saw me in a club, and wanted to get one of his friend's opinion on my look (it turned out that J's friend and I already knew each other).

The music was so loud that J couldn't get his friend's attention, so he tapped him on the back. His friend turned around, saw me and said to him, "That's old tap tap..."

My original nickname was TapTap, but it evolved to Tapper, and has stuck ever since.

Well I guess 2q2bst8 was my first choice the insein part came later and 4 life, well read my profie nd find out ;-)

I smoke two joints in the morning.

I smoke two joints in time of peace

I smoke two joints before I smoke two joints
and then i smoke two more.


ANYWAY, my favourite letter is W.

I used to be much heavier, and not in the good sense. I joined weightwatcher's, hired a trainer, started hiking and swimming in the summer, and cross-country skiing and snow shoeing in the winter, and now, i'm a "jock".

As most might guess, used to work for the brown truck guys-- loader in college and a package carrier after that-- brown truck and the route, that was me... though no longer as I'm pretty much white collar guy now... LOL And live mostly in MO for the time being so added that on.

A lot of people ask me, I think because it is creative and unique.

I was reading a magazine about someone, the question was, 'How did it feel the first time you were on stage in front of an audience?' The response was something like, 'I was supposed to imagine the audience all naked, but instead it felt like I was on stage butt naked.' The word, butt, was in the margin and I read buff. I thought oh hell, f-ya that's amazing. Coined it and the rest is history.

Maestoso (pronounced mī-ˈstō-sō) is an Italian musical term and is much like Marcato, but is used as a directive to play a certain passage of music in a stately, dignified and majestic fashion (march-like).

I studied classical piano as a kid and in my first two years of university. When picking a nickname for a site in the early days of the Internet, I needed one with eight characters that wasn't already taken. Works well, though a lot of people misread it as Maestro.

I used to take care of African cichlids and the blue ahli is one of my favorites.

I thought it sounded funny, especially after I deleted my RBY71 account and created a faceless lurker account. I like the "guerrilla" aspect of ambush sassiness. The sodomite part I thought was pretty funny too. Of course, thinking I was all original and brilliant, I soon had my bubble burst when I googled my screen name and there are actually many guerrilla sodomites out there and even some t-shirts for sale.

Then of course I wasn't nearly as sly as I thought I was while leaving random obnoxious comments with a blank pictureless profile. Mnjock2003 immediately picked up on the writing style and level of stupidity in my posts and called me out on it on Facebook. Thus, I felt obligated to show my face once again and keep the name even if it isn't as original as I had once thought.

Dodgy: is slang for homosexual (I think it's british)

Tereseus1---Im inlove with greek history and culture/ Literature. I took the name tereseus as he was a greek seer who was blinded by the gods but gained sight of the future.

MikeAlva saidIt's my name.. I have nothing to hide.

Mikey (my name is Mike) was already taken so I looked at one of my book sheves for inspiration. One of the first books I ever bought caught my eye "Candide ou l'optisme" by Voltaire. I idolized him as a kid and so took that name.

A friend of the family called me "Flipper" when I was a kid. I liked that nickname. This was back when the TV show Flipper was airing. I still like dolphins.

Is it cool to change screen names?

Like the say - "The World Ends with You".

matt45710 saidLast name begins with Matt, and it's always been a nickname because of that. The numbers are a mix up of the zip code I grew up in.

juishe is my actual nickname. Given that Joshua is one of the most popular names I've come by, I had many friends named Joshua, so naturally, my friends had to come up with something for me.

So the name evolved like this:

It's pronounced zhOOsh.

ROTFL. Not just an idiot but a creep. It's almost like he's stalking me itching for a fight, making hay of apolitical posts.

You knew so little about Caesarea that you had to look it up on Wikipedia (which you've previously criticized as a bad source of information)?!

Caesarea was built by the King of JUDEA - a territory which was later renamed "Palestina" by a Roman emperor who was a foreign occupier.

Palestine, then and into the 20th century, was the Latin/European name for Eretz Yisrael, the Jewish homeland (as we've seen from maps from that period). Prior to the mid-20th century, it wasn't the name of an Arab group; Arabs can't even properly pronounce the "P" and call the territory they invaded, seized, occupied and colonized "Filastin".

Don't forget that the "Palestine Mule Corps" was composed of Jewish soldiers fighting with the Allies during WW I (the Arabs fought with the Turks against the Allies). The "Palestine Brewery" is today Israel's Nesher Beer. The "Palestine Post" is now the Jerusalem Post, one of Israel's largest news-papers. The "Palestine Brigade" during WW II was composed of Jewish volunteers in the British Army who fought the nazis.

During that time, the Mufti of Jerusalem was a guest in hitler's bunker advocating for the Final Solution. He was also the head of the "Arab Higher Committee" - the Arabs weren't yet known as "Palestinians".

But all of this has already been discussed and you've not been able to respond in nearly a year.

sxydrkhair Wrote: Again you fail to realize Palestine or Yisrael was a homeland to Christianity and Islam too. Jerusalem is home to three beautiful religions: Jews, Christians and Muslims. Some Palestinians are descended of Judean tribes and the land is rightful theirs too. You are in denial the fact that Palestinians exist since the British mandate of Palestine. There was money, stamp, and passport was called Palestine.

sxydrkhair Wrote: What is your point? Like every other languages have different names. In Hebrew, there is no J letter and they spell it out “Yerushalayim” as in Jerusalem (English). Are you going to make this a big deal? You don’t even know your own history. The European Zionist setters were invaded, seized, occupied and colonized on Palestinians land since the late 1800’s. Remember Palestinians owned the most of the lands.

My apologies to others, but I will continue to refute false claims and accusations made in public in the forum topic where they are made. While Samer is advancing his warped political agenda, all I will do is directly respond to his propaganda.


Samer> I was only respond to your post. Here we have Caesarea insulting me and calling me a “CREEP.”

Samer> The whole time you told me there is no such thing called Palestine.

FAIL! As can be gleaned from the forum title I posted in Nov. 2008 - to which you still can't honestly respond (rather than diverting with other false accusations):

"Palestine" is the Latin/European name for Eretz Yisrael, the Jewish homeland
- and Arab denials of the existence of "Palestine".
http://www.realjock.com/gayforums/349491


Samer> Palestinians exist since the British mandate of Palestine. There was money, stamp, and passport was called Palestine.

Right, starting after WW I. Which is contrary to your false claim that your "grand-father" was a "Palestinian" in the 19th century and that such a country or ethnic group existed previously. "Palestinian" during the League of Nations Mandate referred to any citizen - Jews and Arabs - but was mostly used by Jews and disdained by Arabs who argued there was no such place, that it was a Zionist invention.

The "Palestine Mule Corps" was composed of Jewish soldiers fighting with the Allies during WW I (the Arabs fought with the Turks against the Allies). The "Palestine Brewery" is today Israel's Nesher Beer. The "Palestine Post" is now the Jerusalem Post, one of Israel's largest news-papers. The "Palestine Brigade" during WW II was composed of Jewish volunteers in the British Army who fought the nazis.

Samer> [Ignored]


During that time, the Mufti of Jerusalem was a guest in hitler's bunker advocating for the Final Solution. He was also the head of the "Arab Higher Committee" - these Arabs, in the 1940s, weren't yet known as "Palestinians".

Samer> I guess the Jews that joined the Hitler’s army was bad too?

Jews didn't join hitler's army (that was prohibited under the racist Nuremberg laws, though there are a handful of cases where Jews secretly hid within the army).

Regardless, there is no comparison to an Arab leader who was best friends with hitler and played a major role in planning the Final Solution and the murder of 6 million Jews and 6 million other people (including homosexuals).


Prior to the mid-20th century, it wasn't the name of an Arab group; Arabs can't even properly pronounce the "P" and call the territory they invaded, seized, occupied and colonized "Filastin".

Samer> In Hebrew, there is no J letter and they spell it out “Yerushalayim” as in Jerusalem (English).

Holy ignorance. The spelling of Jerusalem in English doesn't come from Hebrew but from German, where the J is pronounced like a "Y".

If the Arabs of Palestine descended from the Jews and early Christians (as you claim, despite your own source saying there is no evidence of this, either historically or genetically) then they wouldn't have lost the ability to pronounce the name of their country (during Roman/Byzantine rule) simply because they adopted Arabic following the Arab invasion of 638. Unless they were native Arab speakers to begin with who arrived later.

It's as odd for natives to say "Filastin" (rather than "Palestina") as it would be to say "Jerusalem" (rather than "Yerushalayim"). Israeli Jews say Yerushalim. Palestinian Arabs say Filastin.


Samer> Remember Palestinians owned the most of the lands.

Only if you consider any land not owned by Jews - as if by default - to belong to Arabs. In the topic linked above there is a detailed analysis of land ownership - based on your source and figures (but not cooked to your order). The vast majority of the land was not privately owned. It passed from the Ottoman Empire to the League of Nation's Mandate to Israel (as elsewhere it did to Trans-Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, Egypt and Iraq).


S> why you always quote it around Palestine like that term doesn’t exist?

I quote it when it is used incorrectly. For example, when you claim that there was an Arab "Palestine" in the 19th century (still can't give us a then-current map?), or when you pretend that Jordan (then Trans-Jordanian Palestine) wasn't part of Mandate Palestine (consider that the same "money, stamp and passport" was in use there as in western or cis-Jordanian Mandate Palestine).


If you're finally interested in talking peace, we're still waiting to hear on what, if anything, you're willing to compromise:

In search of a solution to the Arab-Israeli conflict: UNSCR 242, Oslo and Camp David/Taba
(Or: I support the Clinton COMPROMISE parameters. Do you?!)

Samer> [isn't interested in compromise or peace, only in justifying terrorism and eternal war against Israel until all his demands are met... like a ransom.]


Now stop polluting this non-political topic with your propaganda. It is pointless for you to regurgitate falsehoods that were already refuted in the other topics where you couldn't support or defend them when challenged.

TattooJock

Tattoo because i have 30 tattoos

Jock because I play Football Rugby Basketball Volleyball Rowing

I couldn't think of anything good, so I chose "RealAmericanHero," which is a play on the theme song from GI*JOE. I have always thought of myself as being patriotic and a sort of "hero" seeing I teach high school social studies and history.

[url][/url]

Well, its not bragging if its true.

i like classic cars, mustangs amongst them. my name is dave, so, mustangd. the 2nd connection about riding cowboys is strictly intentional, ;)

I've used the username shirty for ages... when I was younger, I liked the definition: angry... bad-tempered.

I used to be a moody teen

The definition is the opposite of how I am now. Kinda funny!

An ex BF once called me "gymboy" and it stuck. However, that was in my late 20's and now that I am approaching my 40's I suppose I should stop using the word "boy" in my handle.

Sporty_g saidSome of the names are fascinating, some funny, some cryptic, or whatever. Can you tell the story behind how you picked your name?

I am "Sporty_G"....I got this nickname from a guy on my softball team in the early 90's...he used it once in public with the rest of the team there in a game and then at the bars afterward and it stuck. I have used it ever since...."thank you" for the name Carleton where ever you are now.

They call the Packers in Green Bay here "G-force". They all call me G-force at work because my real name is Gregg with 3 g's in my name and because I unload UPS trailers so fast and with strength and force like the Packers, they started calling me G-force. They are amazed at my quickness, speed, strength, and force in unloading parcel packages from trailers. lol

you still look like a boy, so gymboy is a grat nickname for you

Beach = I live right on the beach

Bi = I am bisexual

Man = I am a man


BTW the name is Guy

gingin:

"run, run as fast as you can! you can't catch me, i'm the gingerbread man!"

but my story ended differently: it wasnt the wolf that ate me

it was my ex.


anyhow, it stuck. also because i love ginger. ginger tea, crystallized ginger, gingerbread; ginger for motion sickness, the common cold and fever; ginger beer (i know the commercialized versions barely contain any)... mmmm

I'm in college.
I'm 18.
I don't have a vagina... lol

My name is Robb and I have a heart disorder and a machine connected to my heart. I spend a lot time taking care of it- exercise, prescriptions, doctor visits, a long list of supplements and a lot of research online to find the latest info.

mine is a world wide web domain name i own. it's a tribute to seattle (former home) and how things are when all is well... 'right as rain'

Got the nickname gunz at the gym as I had pretty skinny arms (they got a bit bigger lol) As this is an international site just added the UK bit.

It's the street I grew up on.

Gansevoort Market is the official name of the Meatpacking District in New York City. I lived in Chelsea, which borders Gansevoort Market and is, to my mind, something of a meatpacking district.

Pickman's Model is the name of a story by H.P. Lovecraft.

I chose it for RJ because I liked the juxtaposition of what Pickman used for a model for his paintings and what we think of models nowadays. If you've never read the story, I highly recommend it. A wonderful little commentary on what is beautiful.

On the other hand, Pickman may have just been insane!

Oh, Lovecraft, a wonderfully wicked mind you had.

I thought I had answered this one already. I decided to reference two areas of interest in my life - rodeo and working out.

Have dated Bodybuilders since I was 16. Have never been attracted to any other attribute of a man except for muscle. Just the way I'm wired I guess.
Cheers,
Keith

Pickmansmodel said A wonderful little commentary on what is beautiful.

Pickman didn't seem to think his model was beautiful, just interesting.
The story can also be read as a warning that if you spend too much time breathing the dank air in the Boston subway, derangement may follow.
The story would come to mind whenever the train would inexplicably stop in the tunnel, as they often did.

Really simple it's my name.

Kylejones saidReally simple it's my name.

No it's not, you lying, scabrous freakshow.

Wow. This is one huge MF thread. Here's me doing my bit to make it longer.

Mine's a reference to a now-old but significantly pioneering DnB track by Omni Trio called "Trippin on Broken Beats" - for me it symbolises the halcyon days of DnB which had a massive influence on my life and defined not only my university/DJ years, but is an essential part of who I am.

The nature of the name meant I could pretty much count on it being available in all but the most specialist music sites. I had half-hoped that it would act like a code to anyone who has similar memories; it was one of the seminal tracks of the day, along with Metropolis, Dispatch 2, Watching Windows, In Too Deep, and etc. Unlike a lot of the other track names, this one's not easy to confuse for something else.

Because I am a solitary practioner of Wicca - hence the ending of the name 'magick' being spelled with a "k" -

Halloween costume haha

Sage is a nickname my close friends branded me with and K is the first initial of my middle name 'keon'

WHATEVER OLD MAN...

First things first: Come to Texas and be my wife.




secondly, I'm 50% Hippopotamous and 50% George Clinton

Mine essentially comes from my hip hop - anyone can learn the choreography, but it takes skill to "dance the groove" ;) Really feel the style and not be so rigid and tense.

And I was born in 1986
That's all

I speak Spanish. The Spanish equivalent of my Anglo name is Esteban. Everyone will tell you I am a total saint! Therefore..... SAN ESTEBAN! Saint Stephen!

A nickname I've had since I was about 15 with boxing.It was because of the punches. The "I" is for Irish since I'm irish, "H" is for hand, the "G" is for grenade. People would call the hard punch I'd do "The Irish Hand Grenade" so it just stuck lol. The 84 is just the year I was born.

bah, it's was my now gone dog's name : Assante
surrounded by two X because the nick is often taken and i can't be arsed to try various combos.

i miss my doggy... he was so sweet, a 140 pounds Rhodesian Ridgeback.

I got my name from an old SNES game I loved called Demon's Crest. The main character was so awesome and had a bad a** name.

altair - main character from Assassin's Creed. kick ass game.

and I've always really liked that name

Whenever I give my name to someone for the first time I usually get hit back with, "Oh, like the Inferno" (referring to the Divine Comedy), or "Oh, like the Peak" (referring to the 1997 film starring Pierce Brosnan and Linda Hamilton). It started when I was a kid, and it has never gotten old. Not a week goes by in which I don't hear someone make the reference.

Any guesses?
