Explain your username thread

[Remmie]

Cue a bunch of smart arses who used there real names saying mum and dad gave it but why did you pick your username and what does it mean?

[Guest BootleBoy]

I'm male and from Bootle...Simple enough!

[Elmyn Noos]

I explained mine to someone who asked on another thread a while ago but for the record..

 

My kid brother used to struggle to the point of tears of frustration with the pronunciation of Emlyn Hughes. He used to say Elmyn Noos, which is like dead funny when you're 12 years old. Being a big Hughes fan, and equally a fan of making children cry, I chose the username. It's also good for tabloid style thread headers like Noos Flash, Noos at Ten, Here's Fiona Bruce with the Noos, etc.

[Stu Monty]

It's my name. But shortened. Clever isn't it.

What is this record? Anyway consider it updated.

 

My name was my favourite insult at the time, as in those bunch of Remmies behind the till at mcDonalds who wank in the special sauce, think it originated a shortening of the word Remedial

[Brownie]

I love Ian Brown - he's fucking ace.

 

He might look like a monkey but his music is brilliant.

 

My name is really Zach Stankovic.

I don't know how to spell my surname.

[bri]

Watching the piss take of Mel B and patsy on Bo Selecta inspired me to choose Joeyb.

 

Joe being my middle name and b (brian) being my first.

[co1-lfc]

CO is what i'm called at home, added the 1 and the LFC speaks for itself

[Bob]

Red - in case there were any other RobMols

Rob - its my name

Mol - Short for Molyneux, my surname, originating from the once powerful Molyneux family, close friends of William the Conqueror when he moved over here, given the land of Sefton to rule over, and have been ruling various parts of the country that we have moved to since, including Brum and now Leeds.

Good thread!

 

My username comes from a childhood thought of creating my own company which was going to called "ARK Enterprises Ltd" - the ARK being my initials and the enterprises, well I thought it sounded good!

 

Then I droppped the Ltd cos it was just stupid, and then one fateful day in 1999 I registered on ebay as arkenterprises and then subsequently lost all my details and when I finally came back I was forced to create a new username by dropping the "s".

 

Hence arkenterprise was born and has stuck ever since, its unique so that suits me fine.

I think you'll find that your original nickname was Teeny, but I'll let everyone else think how that was created.

How dare you!!! Lies! All lies!

(actually it was Tini!)

My name is Knut Ørjan Pedersen (or Knut Thingy Thingy as Stu like to call me). As you english don't have the letter "Ø" I often find trouble in the PC world using it, so I have to use "O" instead, as it looks very similar to "Ø" but without the line through it. So my nic is from my name, KOP.

 

The correct approach should maybe've been KOEP though, as the "Ø" is really a mix between "O" and "E".

Yeah, I bet you didn't see that one comming 8)

[Sutty]

Sorry Tini!

pah!

 

This "nickname" was only caused because when I wrote my name on a piece of card when on a training course I put an explanation mark after it - Martin!

then some stupid woman trainer said "does that say Martini?" then eventually got shortened to tini. and has now become pretty much obsolete. so lets hear no more about this.

Don't believe that "story" :whistle:

[DT]

I used to be called Daytripper because when I first started reading here everyone always went on about how they were evil in every way imgainable. So I thought it'd be a good way of proving them right. It was later shortened.

 

My real name is Peter, so there.

[Anubis]

When I first joined the forum I was working in Manchester, and lived there for a bit. I used to have a signature reading "bringing enlightenment to the heathen's of Manchester." Hence Scouse Missionary.

But as everyone shortens it to SM it makes it sound like I'm a gimp in leather locked in a Tory politician's basement.
