Answerbanker's Names - how do you pick your names?

[Wee Kaz]

Just wondering how all you answerbankers choose your names? I know some of them are more obvious than others but some I have no idea :o) x

[darth vader]

I used it as a pseudonym at University and it's stuck ever since..... (dunno what made me choose it then - i was young, foolish...)

[darth vader]

ps. Wee Kaz?

[sft42]

Simply my initials then the answer to Life the Universe and Everything tagged on at the end....or the number of one of my fav bands Level 42......or my house number.

[beenee]

been my nickname forever. It's really beenie, but I think on the day I registered here, I was feeling particularly beeeeneeeeeeee..... ahem.

[woodpam]

My usual pseudonym is Pambi (Chosen for me by the IT department at work!) I decided to be more grown up for Answerbank and just use the Pam bit of my name but AB kindly gave me a prefix and I decided to stick with it rather than work out how to change it. I only resemble a block of wood after a hard 9-5 at the funfactory that pays my wages - honest!

[Mintox]

Heard them say Mintox was a old Oz saying for something great on the Radio ages ago...and used it ever since

[StevieBoy]

Its what my girlfriend calls me! Highly original eh!?

[j2buttonsw]

John E "2 buttons" Walthamstow Ta Daa

[rja211077]

initials+birthdate. boring eh?

[Diogenes]

I wanted to use the name "Diogenes Small" (fans of Colin Dexter's "Inspector Morse" novels - as opposed to the TV series - would get the reference) but it was too long for this !@?* thing so I stuck with plain old Diogenes. But then I am quite a cynic so it's still appropriate.

[andy hughes]

My parents gifted me the full version - I hate 'Andrew' so any one who knows me at all uses Andy. My wife has never ever ever called me Andrew, no matter how annoyed she has been, and I can't imagine she ever would. That's not cue for you all to start by the way!

[Kit]

Short

[katiesara]

named Katherine Sara by my parents, known as Katie to my friends, and ab wouldn't let me just be Katie so added the Sara bit!!

[map08]

It's what my university gave me as my username and now, because I can never find a name for email servers, I just use it for everything...Which is a shame, because I'd love people to think it's some mysterious map, numbered "08"! What treasures could map number 8 unfold? But sadly, no... (By the way, map is my initials)

[FredPuli]

A puli is a breed of Hungarian sheepdog of unmistakeable appearance. The coat naturally forms into long 'dreadlocks'. Mine is called Fred. I thought his name could bear the notoriety better than mine.

[gazzawazza]

Just bits of my name scrunched together which I like the sound of.

[Wee Kaz]

Darth vader, Wee Kaz is Kaz coz my name is Karen and wee coz I'm only 5ft!

[honkytonkman]

I chose mine as it was the title of an old Clint Eastwood film in which he played a country singer, and I also play boogie/blues/jazz piano, so it seemed to fit :)

[incitatus]

I picked it because it was the name of caligulas pet horse, which he made a senator, then a consul. The reasons are complex but have to do with an isp having had all the good classical references taken, and combining a knowledge of tacitus with a suggestion from my girlfreind.... "horseboy" sounds so undignified!

[FordGranada1]

I'm a big fan of 'The Sweeney', also classic 70's cars, so it could only be FordGranada1.
