What does your username stand for/come from??

[AlexW]

Not sure if this has been done before here, but seen it elsewhere.

I know some of yours will be dead easy (steve, stuart etc)

Il start the ball rolling, mines easy, My initials and the year i came up with the username (Think i first used it on the PS2 forums :eek: )

[Andy]

Remarkably its actually my name

[walshc]

My last name with the first letter of my first name directly after it, in lower case, just because im so out there man!

[Jack]

It has, although I may be thinking of CCUK lol

I used Wheeljack for a while - nicked from transformers - then fancied a change. Someone once told me I looked a bit like Neil Ruddock (dunno how, he looks nothing like me), so that stuck, and I've been using it across the intarwebnet for yeeeaaars.

Before that I was road_knight76 (which hendrix still calls me lol) - Road Knight was one of the characters in Interstate 76 that Groove had the dream about and had to race, along with Patriot and another who's name escapes me.


[edit] Do i win a prize for most imaginitive username so far? LOL

[Dave.]

mines because i own a nova and i love to kiss people lol




and im childish

[Jack]

^ we all thought you were a girl when you first joined lol

[sport]

^ we all thought you were a girl when you first joined lol

Mines quite boring/straight forward the model of nova i have.

[burgo]

mine is my nickname from school as my surname is burgess

[mayhem]

i have no idea how i came up with mine.. first thing that came to mind years ago when i first started to join forums.

[Asa-James]

my old nova was a 1.3 saloon with sr wheels as standard. so it was kind of an sr...

[hendrix]

lmao yes jack you will forever be known to me as road_knight76, with an opel blitz avatar iirc.
Mine was part of my uber lame email address that seemed a good idea when I signed up. Kinda don't really like it now, bit like a shonky tattoo lol

[coombsey]

coombsey nick name for my family last name being coombes

[Sloth]

[Pillar]

[Hobbit]

cause im short, fat with big hairy feet.

[twistysnovagte]

mines who i am by nickname and the car i own.

[Nova_Tek]

I tried to think of something cool at the time I was signing up so obviously Nova had to be in it hense the first part of my username. I then thought 'hmmmm need something cool / hip' so I thought Tech, dont ask me why!

Nova_Tech was already taken. So I Internetised it to Nova_Tek. I wasnt too sure whether I thought it was cool enough. Then when I thought about it I had never seen a gold Nova let alone the exact same colour as mine before. So the 'tek' went from meaning internetised Tech to 'Tek' meaning 'Only' in Turkish.

It still has relevence today as AFAIK its the only E421 Gold on PNG :D

[hagger]

mine is my surname, also i have a "cool" nickname...

[Sloth]

yes mr s-hagger, lol

[bmw156]

bmw ment big mac world years ago when i was in high school as i thought it would be a good place to live lol
and the 156 is the random generated bit they give because bmw was surprisingly taken.

so it doesnt mean a black mans willy
or it doesnt mean a bmw and a alfa 156 lol

[Pistol Pete]

My name, surprise surprise, lol and my birthday. It was also my race number when i did motocross back in my school days.

[BIGS]

Well my last name is Bignell so people call me bigs as a nickname not because of my size lol

[johnny_turbo]

my nickname n the other part is because i want a turbo on car which might be goin on my saloon

[kelbelle]

Well I'm known to all my family and friends as kelbelle, not sure where the nickname came from but my name is kelly and Im a bit fairy like sometimes lol

I think the belle bit came from belle from beauty and th beast actually ha ha

[xe Dan]

mines because i drive an xe d nova and my names dan suprising that lol

[TIDGE]

iam short

[MyNovaSr]

My first nova was a 1.3sr and funny enough it was mine.

[Jim Mcrae]

Got called it in college for being the one who would rather take the nova for a blast on the moors than go to lessons, Minehead was a popular destination. Coincedently the old chef at work called me it when I gave hm a lift in the XE, thats it.

[djshaggeh]

iam short

Haha!

The DJ bit means disc jockey - or as they like to call me at work dick jockey.

Everyone calls me shaggy coz I used to or still do look like shaggy from scooby doo. Although people assume that im black and say mr lover lover lots.

[brainsnova]

lol
Brain as i can fix or do anything with a positive outcome and nova as i used to own one at the time i started on here.

[Steve]

I used to be reigistered as nova-myth, purely because at school a few mates and I used to go tagging and myth was my old tag name lol oh and the nova part was because I own a nova lol

Now iam boring so I just use my first name.

[Adam]

Mines,erm, lol

[Lee]

I am always Bottlethroddy on vauxhall forums. I got the habit of swapping the first letters of stuff around from my dad. 'ive got Petty Swits' etc.. lol After id put all the VW shizzle behind me, I had aquired a 2.0 Nova and I was wistfully staring at a QED catalogue whilst looking for a vauxhall forum to join. I came accross PVG first for some reason. In time it got abbrieviated to BT, which confused people (and myself) even more!

Im only Lee on here because I throught it would be a tad more proffessional looking. LMFAO!

[Ste L]

its my name :D

[Spudly]

You will always be bottlethroddy to most lee, incidentally i do the swapping round of letters a lot, drive martin wild when i do it, ooh look "slandom rags" haha!

Mine was SRspudly as i had a white mk2 SR when i first registered, and i picked up the nick "spud" at colloege which even the lad who first called me it doesnt know why so its a bit of a poo one but its eventually become spudly these days so meh lol

[Lee]

You will always be bottlethroddy to most lee, incidentally i do the swapping round of letters a lot, drive martin wild when i do it, ooh look "slandom rags" haha!


tbh the other reason I changed it, is because at Trax last year, Dadaline / Flashbang or whatever hes calling himself asked me 'Are you Boootelthroooody'?

I kind of lost interest in the monkier after that lol

[Spudly]

Well he is just a tucking fossbag so ya shouldve just knocked him out and fed him to baxter lmao:thumb:

[Nova_Tek]

I used to do all the letter swapping business until it one day back fired. Used to use words like 'Bucking Fastard' until I did a swap on that particular phrase and accidentally said the real thing. So I tend not to use them as frequently now lol

[Sloth]

spud i thought yours was
Special
Person
Under
Diesel
Land
Yacht

[Simon 1867]

Haaay yoooooooooooo guyyyyysssss :D lol

Mines well erm... Bikecarbed nova. Not any more though.

[Jack]

tbh the other reason I changed it, is because at Trax last year, Dadaline / Flashbang or whatever hes calling himself asked me 'Are you Boootelthroooody'?

I kind of lost interest in the monkier after that lol
LMFAO I take every available opportunity to call you bootlethroodie :D

People abbreviate me to RJ as well. And have started calling me that outside of the forum lol

[smcgsi16v]

email address came from NFSU1 online was the name of the race group i was in Venomde lol

My old nickname was Cazioshi that turned into Caz.

[NovaLad]

My original name on here was NovaLad16 because i'm a lad with a nova and was 16 at the time i signed up.

Then after a few months i looked up NovaLad on the members list and noticed it had been taken but never used so asked to be changed to that.

NovaLad = A lad with a nova. Go me!

[Dar]

Mines from a Linux Disk ARchive program

[Steve]

Sure it is darren! lol

[MK999]

Mk is mark, not often you can have 2 letter usernames or it's not taken so the 999 bit was added, no relevance, not sure when i first used it but i was obviously in a hurry lol

[The Simps]

mines an old nickname. never really questioned it (was one of the better ones I had growing up!). I think its short for simple simon. It is funny though the amount of people who assume my surname is simpson.

[Emmy]

I suppose mines is a bit obvious lol I have a few names Emmy, Emzka, Emz, Emzy, Em :p mostly I use these when signing up for something or joining a forum etc.

[Benn]

mines an old nickname. never really questioned it (was one of the better ones I had growing up!). I think its short for simple simon. It is funny though the amount of people who assume my surname is simpson.

Tis my number plate from my other car. My name is Liam and my first car was a Nissan Primera lol (was a very good deal and nice and modern/one year old at the time, being sold by a mate of my dads. I didn't go out looking for one but ended up ploughing obscene amounts of monies into it :() I don't have any middle names so I bought the plate L14 MNP or Liam, Nissan Primera - soon to mean Nissan Power when I purchase a BNR32 GTR :D

Maybe if I had spaced it as L14M NP on here I wouldn't get certain folk calling me Limp lol

[Ash]

[L14MNP]
