Subject: How Did We Get Our Member Names?
Some are pretty obvious, like RockandRoll_Fan, Fuss Budget Van Pelt, Goldie, Jessica. I would have loved to bring this question up for Panda before she left us. Mine is pretty obvious, the first and last initials of my real name. What about some others ?

Good Thread J.C. !
You have already identified mine, but I will explain it further for the benefit of any of the younger board members who may not be aware of it's etymology :
The comic strip Peanuts written by Charles Schultz :
One of the characters was Lucy (Linus and Rerun's sister). Their surname was Van Pelt.
Lucy was a crabby character, always finding f ault somewhere or being outraged about this or that. So much so that in one strip she described herself with some pride as being a Fuss Budget !
Hence the FussBudgetVanPelt - it originally was my Napster username (in the days when Napster was a good word :'( :() and I chose it because every other name I thought of was already taken....in the end I had to think of something that no-one else had.... :)
One step further : My daughter drew the avatar freehand on sight from one of my Charlie Brown books - you would notice some similarity with the avatar of Reddyrules, which is also her work.
Quite often my avatar reflects how I feel, but I try not to let that spill into the board (too much :D)
FBVP ! :)

This one is pretty easy. Since am from Saginaw, MI with the nickname of Sagnasty, guess what people are here called?
As for Wolveroses, this might be more complicated. I'm a die-hard U of M (University of Michigan) fan. Their nicknames are the Wolverines. When they won the Rose Bowl back in the day, I just added the two together to summon, Wolveroses.

Mine is easy too. At least it was till today. ;)
Kat is a shorter form of my real first name.
I've added the "Xena" bit to inspire a little bit of self-confidence. I started liking the show at around the same time my marriage ended, and I liked the whole concept of independence without regard to gender.
The number 13 was added when I chose my e-mail ID. Since it's a number traditionally associated with 'bad luck' I was hoping to use it as a talisman to avert any more that might be coming my way.

if i'm lucky enough to get any of my songs played on the dr. demento show next week and any of you get to hear it you'll notice that I am somewhat tone deaf - although hopefully not enough to kill my chances of airplay. And the actual spelling i have here comes from the rappers Tone-Loc and Mos Def.

I wouldn't say I'm the biggest fan, no. Not to the point of memorizing whole blocks of dialog, and the names, birthdays and home addresses of everyone connected with the show from the stars down to the floor sweepers. :P (My brother is like that with his favorite shows.)
But I do like to watch it, and since it has finished it's run, I'm collecting the show on video to catch the episodes I've missed.
Subject: Re: How Did We Get Our Member Names?
Acutally mine is more of a family nickname than based on the fact that I am blonde. My grandmother gave me my given name and had my mother been the one to name me, she would have named me Goldie. So I decided to use it as my e-mail address and user name here!
Subject: Re: How Did We Get Our Member Names?

All Hail FBvP's daughter! 8)
My name comes from the UK comedy sci-fi TV series "Red Dwarf".
At one point, the dead hologram (Rimmer) gets the idea to generate a second hologram off his disc. This degenerates into a fight during which Rimmer#2 calls Rimmer#1 "Mr Gazpacho", dredging up horrifically embarrasing memories.
As I have a store of these memories myself ;) , I decided to name most of my on-line personas "mrgazpacho".

Zella is short for Azazella.
Azazello was a character in Mikhail Bulgakov's satiric novel "The Master and Maragartia" which I read several times in my late teens. The character started out very repulsive, but became quite lovable in the end. I was always attracted to the name, so when I got my first online account I feminized it to Azazella. When I signed up for this board, I just shortened it to Zella.
After five months of being on this board, I have become Zella. I really don't know who I am anymore... ::)

Hairspray is self explanatory as well. ;D
In the 80's I must have owned every kind of hairspray sold at the time, including color sprays. I had a shelf lined with them. I'd use whichever I felt like using at any given time. Doing my hair was like a hobby and quite fun. Oh, what it was to be young, carefree and with a lot of time on your hands! :)

My user name Bobo comes from The Simpsons. The episode was Rosebud, an altogether well received one by Simpsons fans and maniac such as myself. Bobo was the name of Mr. Burns' teddy bear, which he and Maggie fight over.
Subject: Re: How Did We Get Our Member Names?
Mine grew from something I once wrote in the guest book of a friend's website: "Join me as I wade knee deep through the gore of the false." It was a remark relating to my dislike of the hypocrites, pseudo-elitists and other hangers-on that infest the sub-culture to which I belong. As Manowar said: "Death to false metal." My motto became "Death to the false". Not actual, physical death, of course! ;D
I believe people should stand up for what they believe in, no matter what it is, but they should really believe it, not just be saying so because it's seen to be cool or to be part of a crowd. To me, that's falsehood, and I don't like that.
So I have been known to 'rip the gore of the false'. And that's where it came from. Hope I haven't confused too many people now.
I'm really not a very scary person. ;D

Mine is one of my nicknames and is also half of my first name.

In my case, the "Philbo Baggins" handle goes back a long way: it was a nickname first bestowed at school, which turned into my username for my first on-line account (in pre-internet days, round about 1989/90). Since then I've always used "philbo" as a nickname where possible, though recently (especially since LOTR came out) it's been taken more often than not, so it has to be philbo_baggins in full.

I try to use the same "name" everywhere I go on the 'net. But some forums won't allow it; most do but I can't have it exactly the same.
Mine is not what those who think they know think.
Name translation: a MD-regiment revolutionary. No, it's not the damned Civil War, it's the "Revolution", the original American civil war. (Sorry, I just get sick of the CW but I love to tease people w/it too. They're so predictable and think the same thing!)
Subject: Re: How Did We Get Our Member Names?
Mine is really self centred and totally untrue and comes from part of my real name too:
AngeliK= Angel-I-K
as in K is an Angel.....
Irony perhaps???? ;)
Subject: Re: How Did We Get Our Member Names?
Mine is pretty easy to guess - it's a nickname derived from 'Christina' :)
It has stuck since year 7. Some people in our form were playing truth or dare, and this guy that I liked, Matt, chose truth. He was asked to pick a girl to kiss on the cheek ( oh, the innocence of yr 7!).I remember this so well, hesaid: 'Come on Crizzie Lizzie' - so kinda taking the pee aswell as 'Liz' isn't exactly a middle name! As we were pretty good mates 'Crizzie' kinda stuck and then it got shortened to 'Criz'. All my mates from school call me 'Criz' or 'Crizzie' still :)
Subject: Re: How Did We Get Our Member Names?
My SN is the same as the DJ name I go by. It was given to me about 5 years ago as the assistant manager of the club I worked at and I were checking out other clubs in the area on a Thursday to come up with a different theme on Thursday nights (something no one else was doing but may attract their clientele). One club we went to had a DJ who totally train-wrecked his mixes, and we were commenting on that and somewhere in the conversation it was mentioned that I have a sort of "golden touch" when it comes to beat-mixing (70's, 80's, hip-hop, house, techno, whatever the format; I enjoy all dance music), hence the name Midas, after the whole King Midas thing... 8)

My name is Jon and as a kid growing up in the 70s I HATED being called "John-Boy" b/c of the Waltons so when I started dating my last g/f I asked her to never call me that so she started calling me Jonman...and it just stuck.....now everyone calls me Jonman...even the kids on the hockey team I coach call me "Coach Jonman" LOL...
Subject: Re: How Did We Get Our Member Names?

Like FussBudget, my nic I initially used with that now defunct file sharing program, which is just a variation of the word "Napster". Used also as a Yahoo Messenger nic/e-mail addy, since dropped. Sounds like a typical 80's nickname as would "Davemeister" which would have been my second choice.

I do so hate it when a perfectly rational explanation forces my mind out of the gutter! ;D
My name comes from back in the days when I was a sys0p on a local bbs. I had been around for several months, using a few different pseudos; but nothing ever suited me enough to stick. It happened during my time on the board that I had gotten to know several of the members rather well, and had stuck by several of them during difficult times in their personal lives. Well, one day we were all sitting around at a meet, and someone brought up how well we all knew one another. I pointed out that, although I knew many of them quite personally, none of them really knew anything about me. Of course, they all disagreed. Right up until I put up $100 to whomever could correctly give one piece of personal information about me: last name, address, phone number, birthdate... and nobody could claim the prize. Mystery Woman it was, and it stuck.

I'm jumping on this one a little late, but my name "Steve H 2002" is simply my first name, initial of my last name and the year I became a member.
I've been on enough message boards to experience annoyance with user anonymity. Anonymity can breed irresponsibility, and change begins on this end of the keyboard. Ergo, pretty much the same user-nick on any site that requires it.
The Yugo was a 'cause it's there' thing. I don't have any gifs or jpgs nestled somewhere, so I thought I'd use that one.

Just in case anyone was wondering?? I'm not very holy and my last names not dooley. :P
This is the entry from an Aussie slang dictionary:
~Holy dooley! : an exclamation of surprise = "Good heavens!", "My goodness!" "Good grief!" or similar~
I say it all the time and it's one of the few appropriate Aussie expressions of surprise. But even the most refined Australian women such as myself (a joke!) have been known to have the odd crass moment.!

Hi.
Just found this place.
I got my name because I'm a huge Stevie Nicks fan. Her second album was called "The Wild Heart"

Subject: Re: How Did We Get Our Member Names?
Well, mine seemed pretty simple to me. I fist got a PC back in 1996, specifically so I could play Wing Commander and X-Wing. My pilot names in those games were Thunder and Vampire, respectively. When I first got online in late 1996, I began using Thunder as a SN name where ever possible. Then the game X-Wing Vs. TIE Fighter came out, which was a multiplayer game, and I wanted to play it BAD. So I went to the Zone and signed up, and someone else was using the name Thunder. So I chose Vampire. Someone had THAT one. SO I figured I'd mix the two into ThunderVamp. But someone else had THAT one! So for the hell of it I threw a 9 onto the end, and that one went through.
And I've been ThunderVamp9 ever since...
With the exception of my online squadron, where I am simply RWS_Thunder.

The next week I had forgotten all about it until I went over to my buds house, he said he called one of the women and they had asked how his friend Race was, he said "who"

Masq= mask I am obsessed with a poem by Langston HUghes "We wear the mask" I am of the belief that no one is ever themselves around everyone.
REd= favorite color :D
death= in past 5 yrs 4 ppl i have loved have been claimed by God :'( (R.I.P. /S.A/ J.P./R + D W) :'(, I am tied to death through my life. I am i suppose one of the few ppl in my *circle* of friends who isnt afraid to die. Im a bit cynical and maybe that helps.

Syncronos means 'at the same time,' but Cronos is also the Greek god who in mythology ate his children (Zeus, Hera, etc.) so they wouldn't overthrow him. Zeus ended up getting out and taking over...but that's another story
Anyway, because of my ravenous appetite (can anyone here eat 10 or more Taco Bell soft tacos at one sitting?), I chose that name, but since I am no Greek god, I'm only a synthetic bearer of the name...thus, we have Syn-cronos
That...and it sounds really cool... 8)

I remember Jonny Quest when I was a kid, but haven't seen it in 25 years. I heard there was a more recent version.
Jonny was the kid, correct? Son of Dr. Smith, I think. And there was his friend Hadji and the dog Bandit. Race was the go to stud guy. I have no idea why that name came up when it did, but it does sound ultra-cool. 8)
