What does your user name mean?
« on: September 01, 2010, 08:03:06 PM »
And why did you choose it? Some usernames are duh! I know it is obviously your name or one that you like. But for the crazy names here, what does it mean?

My name means sun in French and is part of my real name.

At the time Free Republic started requiring registration, I was a big fan of the computer game franchise, Duke Nukem and was looking forward to Duke Nukem Forever, which never came out and then I just stuck with it.

The reason I use "Nukum" instead of the proper spelling is because that is the spelling in the first games due to trademark rights or something.

I remember that game. WAs it also a game for the Nintendo or Playstation? (or one of the versions of Nintendo...)

Yeah, about that...... my first foray into forum-ing, I had a very generic name.  A lot of nasty stuff went down there, and so I deleted my account.  But then I came back to it, and I had to start all over, with a new user name.....so I picked an acronym:  I am so sick and F-ing Tired of this Sh!t.  IassaFTots was born.  And I just kept it.

My user name came from my actual name. My Mom did not want to name me a normal name Jane or June, as she told me when I was born she had no idea what I would look like as I grew.

She gave me an old unusual name so if I grew into a plain Jane people would give me a second look. Ask about the name and notice me

I followed suit and gave my girls unusual names that get attention.

But then one never knows, back in the 70's I bought one of those True Detectives  and found a story on a woman with my first and last name that had been murdered in the desert outside LosVagas----- Spooky.

What did you name your girls?

The first born the hospital miss spelled her name , it was supposed to be Gillana but they put a J instead of the G.  It was only when she went to school and I needed her birth certificate that I realised the problem.

Second girl I named Velvette.

I go by my middle name, so Mike. Not sure about the 220. It meant something at some point, but I don't remember at this point.

When I signed up on military.com about 7-8 years ago...it was my first venture onto a forum, and I just typed in my name....only to find out I should have been considerably more creative, then I was too embarassed to ask anyone how to change it to something else. :thatsright: I've just kept it as I moved to usmilnet with Kevin, Thor, Eupher and a few others, and over to here.
