Why did you choose your screen name/what does it mean?

[Drury18]

Chris Drury was the favorite player of a guy I was dating at the time I picked my username. Kinda ironic as I spent years hating the guy before being traded to Calgary solely because he played for the Avalanche and in my teens I was a huge Red Wings fan.

You can mark me down in the column of people that would love to change their usernames.

[3 Justin 3]

My name is Justin, my favorite number is 3, I'm a d-bag and put both on the outside of my name.

If I could I'd change my name to JPeeper though.

[saskflames69]

This name was not a good choice.. I wish I had chosen something better.
Count me in with those who would change their usernames.

[Kipperriffic]

umm Kipper is a terrific goalie I think.

I use this name on the net most whenever it's available.

I played a game called Call of Cthulhu once and if I'm correct it is based on a novel by Lovecraft isn't it? I want to read his stuff.

[ResAlien]

I love Reese's and aliens. Had a stupid drunken typo during my sign up and have been stuck this way since.

[Montana Moe]

I'm from Delaware, and my name is Giuseppe, obviously.

[Two Fivenagame]

Instigator penalty

[LGA]

LGA = Lets Go Avalanche, or Lanky, glaring Asian, for my tendency to glare at people and because I'm lanky. Quite self explanatory now that I think about it.

[jammies]

Who doesn't like jammies? They're cotton, they're comfortable - they're eternally stylish!

Space Ace was a freaking impossible game, though. More fun to watch other people play than waste tokens on.

[afc wimbledon]

Womble till I die (or they make it to the Championship league and play West Ham, then its 'eff them, south london scum')

[JohnnyB]

I chose a name that is plain as vanilla and utterly unrelated to me.

I am the most generic of posters.

[Mazrim]

Back in 2001 I needed a username for a forum and I was (and still am) highly unoriginal, so I looked around my room for ideas and grabbed one of the Wheel of Time books I was reading. Looking through character names in the glossary I chose Mazrim Taim because it sounded coolest. Later I would shorten it to just Mazrim.

The funny part is that I still haven't read past book 9 of The Wheel of Time so when people ask me about the series because of my username, I can't even tell them what I think of recent developments. I don't even know if Mazrim is a dreadlord or some bitter dude.

[Itse]

It's Finnish and means "Self".

I originally picked it because I wanted an irc-nick that would be impractical to use in RL, because calling people by their irc-nicks was pretty common among my friends in those days.

It's also a reference to Marvel-comics character Warlock. An alien on Earth, he's a sympathetic and well-meaning character, but one that often misunderstands things around him or is misunderstood because of his non-human way of thinking, thus causing unintentional harm. Plus he speaks funny.

So yeah, a bit of a teenage angst thing, but not something I have totally grown out of.



I haven't read Marvel comics in years, so I don't know what's the character like now, this was fourteen years ago.

It's also easy to use for puns in Finnish.

[The Goon]

Everyone loves the evil hockey player from the mid-90s WWF:

[To Be Quite Honest]

I'd tell you but it would be a lie.

[TurnedTheCorner]

I was SutterHater on the old FOI forums, circa '97 when Brian Sutter was the coach. When things moved around to CalgaryPuck I was spending time on a lot of other forums and kind of drifted away from here a bit. When I did sign back up in 2003, Brian Sutter was long gone, so SutterHater seemed kind of unnecessary. I was optimistic things were looking up for the team around that time, hence TurnedTheCorner.

[Sainters7]

Just reading through this thread, I love how many people were either drunk or high when signing up. I don't think I was, but I've definitely been either of those things on here in the past.
