Origin of Usernames

[taylovesthebeatles]

So today I started wondering how some of you (especially freeringo) got the inspiration to use the screen names you do here at NDN and on the felt. For some of us I know it's more obvious than others, but I thought it would be cool to learn where some of the more obscure names came from. So post any usernames you feel you'd like to explain, and the explanations for them in this thread. Go!

[GloBug]

well Glo Bug came from my oldest daughter nick name since she was born. Glo (gloria) and Bug just fit becuase she had a glow worm.

That's a cute story! I had a glo-worm when I was little!

[kingsnthahole]

my usernames on the poker sites are allinbaby...as in scotty nguyen "that's all in poker, baby!"

[67christine]

mine is not so inventive as some others. It is just my birth year and my real name

[eejit101]

mines the first thing that came into my head when i was 14.

[BnLM5]

Mine pretty easy to figure out... B is the first initial of my husbands name and n meaning and, then L my first initial and M the first letter of our last name and 5 my favorite number and their are 5 letters in our last name.

[freeringo]

15 years or so ago I played scrabble online
everyday. The scrabble site (no longer available) was
played by mostly European players and they mostly
snubbed American players. I can understand why,
since most of the intellectual people fled Europe for
America. ( we are smarter than they are as a whole)
My names use to be FreeSB and Serendipidous.
I loved Serendipidous because it meant "fortunate warrior".
So one day, I wanted to blend into the scrabble world better
and heard Ringo Starr got busted for possesion of pot
at the London Airport. My first thoughts were "free ringo".
I have used it ever since. People would chat with me too.
I changed my name several months ago on Cake Poker for a week,
thinking I could throw people off my game. It made it worse cause
I got no respect. The name "freeringo" has earned a lot of respect over
the years and that plays into my game much better.
I have built a good reputation with this name and will not change it.
LDJ1 (ranked 1 of the best online Omaha Players) said while sitting behind me,
"freeringo can you take up another hobby, cause I can't put you on a hand."
Now thats respect.

You woke up on your 14th birthday and shouted "oh ****? Mum oh Mum".
And because of your speech impediment it sounded like
" eeeee jitttt one oh one "
That's what your Dad said anyway.

[eejit101]

ummmm, will you feel better if i say "yea, thats exactly it"?

If so - Yeah!!!


P.S LDJ1 - isnt ranked in the top 1,000 online players.......... Im assuming you can link me to somewhere and prove me wrong?

I do not get the first one at all. Maybe I am being weird but I just don't. At least not at 2 am in the morning.

Which is evident of my tiredness as I said morning after 2am. lol.

Now the second one is really really easy for me to understand and cool.

I get called kid all the way when I am about to have one of my own. lol.

I can try to explain it. He was saying that ashkai is a blend between his girlfriend, Ashley's name, and his name, which is Kyle. But some people call him Kai instead of Kyle, so therefore you can make it AshKai. It's okay that you don't get it, we forgive you
