How did you come up with your screen name?
-
I'm not sure.
-
I've used mine since I first got on the internet after coming back from the socialist paradises of the workers and peasants with free medical care for all, in 1996.
I had wanted to use my real name--innocent me, back then!--but found out it wasn't available because my best friend, an attorney, had already been using it for his own purposes, whatever those purposes were.
Desperate for a screen-name, I came across a newspaper story that mentioned the name of an obscure assistant football coach at the University of Nebraska.
The name sounded solid, sturdy, reeking with principle and integrity (George Bush was still reasonably obscure then, and I had all but forgotten about Richard Cheney), and so I took it. Much to my delight, as time went on, I learned I had indeed picked a name of a man known for his solidity, integrity, and principle.
I've been all over the internet since mid-1996, member of too many sites to count, and I've always only ever been franksolich.
It's a great name.

Out of the blue, I'm obviously a big Simpsons fan. When I first joined at CU years ago, this was the name I picked. Never anticipated that I'd be hanging around message boards like that and this one for so long and so often...would have changed it, but everyone just knows me as Ralphie now. :cheersmate:

Uh...it's my name.....and I wasn't creative enough when I signed up at military.com, as it was my first forum. When I moved over to usmilnet, when it first started and a lot of people left m.com for there, I kept it.... so I just kept it when I came here, as there were people there who belonged over here too.
I don't use it anywhere else....I got creative....eventually... :thatsright:

I axed my beyotches for my muh-nayyy and they said, "Tha Houston Pimp is in da Houz!!!"

I used to play an online shooter game created by the army called--coincidently--America's Army (you can still DL and play for free BTW). I initially used a SN I had been using since the early days of AOL-dom but after playing a few weeks I noticed people with obscene names like PimpDaddyGangsta and SatanicBabyEater666.
First, names like this show an ego and a desire to shock for no good reason.
Second, this is not the kind of thing the army is about.
So, I decided to take a name that if/when I knocked off one of these egomaniacs it would play against their ego. What gangsta wants to be blown-up by Mr. Snuggle Bunny.
Not long after I joined protestwarrior.com and kept the name. When it shutdown I was banned from one of its sister sites when the Ronulans took over. Then I wandered into conservativeunderground and the rest is history; a history despoiled by yet another Ronulan invasion.

I picked my SN when I joined the Chicago Cubs board, when Todd Hundley was one of their most hated players. I did it because I'm a smart ass or a dumb ass, depending on who you ask.

So you're NOT Mr. Hundley? Curious....

I like roses, and I'm of Celtic heritage. It just seemed to fit :cheersmate:

Old site I belonged to -- I lurked at when I was on bedrest forever when pregnant with my twins. I finally joined and started posting giving myself the username.... then was banned by the owner when I told several members about another website Sparky created.
I miss some members from that old site, but the pathetic drama perpetuated by the immature owner and mods I guess I am glad to do without. (wave hi to them everyone as their needy mods have nothing better to do with their time than troll the internet to report back when other post about the site).

"Jinx" comes from an AD&D character I used to play. He was an accident-prone wild mage. If you don't know what that is, don't ask. I don't want to explain it. Just think "random chance of random magic." Anyway, since I, too, am accident-prone, it was inevitable that the name also became one of my nicknames.
"McHue" comes from something a friend did for part of his online handle. He took the first syllable of his last name and added "Mc" in front of it. I did the same with my last name.

Ahem****cough****RN****cough***hasn't changed.
Still run by the same meows who favor libs over old time members. I lurk over there once in a while.

My mommy gave it to me.

I'm a MST3K fan.

I'm a girl and I have hawkish conservative political views. I know..dumb...my next screen name will be Not A Moonbat.
-
My screen name over at CU was BrownEyeGirl, people shortened it to BEG and it stuck.
-
I go by my middle name and shorten it to Mike. The 20 comes from reenacting. The first 2 comes from when I signed up for my first forum and I wanted to be "Mike20" but it was already taken, so I just added another 2 and voila.
-
Mine came from one of my best friends in high school, having sent a note to me about something or other one day. Wonderful friend, great human being, talented computer guy, lousy speller. Or maybe he was just ahead of his time with regards to texting. Either way, my name got shortened to its current form and I've used it ever since.
-
That would have been my first guess.
-
Well I'm crazy
and the caballo part refers to a certain...............................
-
"Colonial" because I'm an American. "Marine" because I am. "0431" because that's my MOS.
Always on duty to protect America, because I'm a fanatic. I don't sleep.
Where I failed..I will avenge.

I signed into CU first when I lived in Nashville. I had moved there from Houston, so I just took both TN and Texan. Now I havew moved to DFW and it still works...

I'm the boss of my herd. :-)

Randy I brought with me from Gunco after the Gunco invasion of CU. Randy is a nickname taken from my usual user name that is registered here too, I just don't use it.

I was somebody else on another forum. It spiraled down into a crazy, mean, spiteful place. It was my first voyage into forums and it really got nasty. I left for a while, and then came back and couldn't use my old name so I reincarnated into IassaFTots. It means "I am so sick and F-ing Tired of this shit." Now I keep it on other forums because I got used to it, and well, it is never taken. People call me Tots now.
-
NHSparky (or OCCASparky, depending on what forum you visit)--NH for where I lived (OCCA for Orange County CA where I used to live), Sparky for the job I do. Yeah, big thoughts went into that one, I know.

It took me a while to come up with "redheadrlest8" ....after I was already using my name in several places. Since I'm a redheaded Realtor....it shouldn't have taken as long as it did... :thatsright:
-
I had a lot of trouble remembering user names when I started internetting a decade ago and it seemed like I could never come up with a username that wasn't taken. asdf is the first four keys on the second row of the keyboard and 2231 is a security code I used to have to use a million times a day way back when. I have found a few places where someone else has used that but for the most part I'm garunteed that user name anywhere.

Never. I'm not sure they even miss us. :p
Okay, now don't laugh at me but I forgot this forum was here at the cave. I saw your name on the list tonight and clicked on your name to see where you've been posting and there were all these other forums other than The DUmp.............who knew? I just always go right to The DUmp but this place is fun, too.
:popcorn:

Well unlike you, I don't have a man crush on Boy George, :tongue:

My first one, over at TOS, was a merging of two nicknames for me--one I got in 3rd ACR, and the second part of it I got at the lab I worked in until a few years ago. I figured that, when I got here and settled, that a name change was in order. So, I live in a "blue" state (almost the "bluest of the blue") and the mascot for both my Catholic HS and my college was a "saint." There you have it.

I got my screen name from a minor character in a series of novels by Anthony Powell.

my initials. Sign everything that way, including birhtday cards. :-)
have been "Rockota" on various forums for many, many years. But when I put that truck up for sale, someone asked me if I was going to retire the name as well, and where I could change it, I did.

Had just acquired a new flame point siamese kitten when I sign up at CU.

Only dorks go by their middle...oh wait....well it's my parents fault, they insisted on calling me Robbie as my father was Robert (Bob)
My middle name is Robert. I am DRJ and my late father is RDJ.
Damn, now I really miss him. :(
-
Because I am a ptarmigan and like ptarmigans, so I chose that name.

At one time I had a small blog where I reviewed wines. Not wanting to be "snobbish" about wine, most were buget wines, I decided on "slob" instead.
I haven't done a review in years, but the old site is still there.

Why darlins do you really have to ask? :uhsure: I'm a Southerner to the bone and very much a lady. Until the situation requires me not to be a lady. :evillaugh:

MrsSmith is my name...and when your real name is a great alias, why not use it? :-) :-)
