Usernames - What's Your Inspiration?

[jwr0201]

Where did everyone get the idea for their usernames?  Pet's name, some deep, dark secret or just pulled it out of an orifice?  Sure to be some interesting stories here.  Mine is part of my dad's USAF military service number.

Born and raised in Oceanside, Ca :-)

[cigcars]

    'Love cute little doggies, am a retired cop, prior military (U.S. Army), and my sister had emailed this cute little photo to me, so with much effort and dogged determination, I uploaded this image as my "avatar".  I also love cars as well as cigars. I had authored a coffee table book (as of yet unpublished) that I named "CigCars", c. 1997, comparing various makes and models of cars to brands of cigars. Very opinionated, no doubt, and thus - that's my Username!  

[MooseAMuffin]

From one of my favorite books growing up as a kid: "If You Give A moose A Muffin"

[Danimalia]

My name is Dan, and I have a friend with the same name. We used to refer to areas of shared interest as being part of Kingdom Danimalia, instead of the biological Animalia.

[OsbourneCox]

COLLECTOR FOR 52 YEARS

[jonescej]

Mine is my default username across most of my online services.  Jonescej = last name (Jones) + first initial (C for Craig) + middle initial (E) + last initial (J for Jones).  Not very original, hard to say, harder still for others to remember, but it's what I use for almost everything.

[stogieluver]

"stogieluver".  You can figure it out.  My avatar is a photo I took of a Cuban tobacco farmer who is rolling a farm roll for our tour group to smoke.  I have some doubt that he is a real tobacco farmer, but may likely have been an "actor" of sorts to entertain the bus loads of tour groups who visit his "farm" in Vinales.  Who knows, it's Cuba, but he really fits the part.    

[Hurltim]

I went the cryptic route..Hurltim = Tim Hurley. LOL! all my siblings have the same setup for their email. Makes it easy to remember in a pinch. 

[Pedgy]

My name is Pedro. So everyone use to call me Pedgy. It's stuck ever since. 20 years later

[Monteandmakers]

Favorite cigar and drink pairing

[Fumadoro]

In high school my group of friends would all hangout, smoke cigars, and drink our parent's booze after jazz band performances. We were naughty, but we developed a deep appreciation for good cigars and alcohol. We were also Spanish language students so we thought it would be funny to name our motley crew "Los Fumadoros"; a mis-translation for "the smokers". I just kept the mistake and made it improperly singular.

HILARIOUS!!!!

[Phinz]

Mine, like my avatar comes from the fins of the favorite car I've ever owned... '59 Caddy in baby blue. One day I'll have another! (family is more important, prompting the sale back when first married)

[JohnInCleveland]

My name is John.  I'm from Cleveland.  

 

Did I mention I'm not a creative person?

[KnightsAnole]

Mine is a smoking buddy that hangs out in the backyard. A refuge from Cuba.

[LordAnubis]

Big fan of Stargate SG1, so hence the username. It's basically my username for everything online i have to register to.

[Fuzz]

Shortened version of the nickname I've had since I was 3.

[TabacoLibre]

Libertarian guy who hates regulations (especially when hindering my smoking hobby). Plus native Spanish speaker (and TabacoLibre sounds cooler than FreeTobacco).

Picture randomly taken from the internet because it looked artistic and I also love coffee.

[dvickery]

20 years ago when the Internet was just starting ... Pretty much everyone used either their 3 initials or first initial last name ... I picked first initial last name .
