What does your screen name mean?

[Greg]

Ummm........Its my alias! My real name is Han Solo but don't tell anyone.........

 

[Dr Onion]

We got bored at work one day and made up crap Superhero aliases, powers and stories about each one.

I've used it ever since!

Dr O

 

[Dunelm]

"Dunelm" is the designation of the Prince Bishops of Durham.

It comes from the Old English name for the city, which was Dunholm - a curious mixture of celtic and germanic words which means "Hill Island", and refers to the horse-shoe bend of the Wear than encircles the castle and cathedral.

However I am not the Bishop of Durham.

i'm suprised no one has choosen 'wittlin' dave' from that ad.

 

[Sleepy Weasel]

Sleepy Weasel, from one of my favourite films Hot Shots, it was operation Sleepy Weasel but I hijacked it for my own on some other forums and it kinda stuck.

I've also got Blackwing too, nice and dramatic I know but the story behind it is a bit more straightforward, starting with a local builder rounding the wing off my Landy and then getting the wing replaced with a black one and never getting around to repainting it, Blackwing

Sleepy sounds like a more fun guy tho! and if I followed in JoJo's footsteps I'd end up as GaGa!

 

[mazeman]

mine's because I'm a tad obsessed with labyrinths, but 'labyrinth' is not a word that trips off the tongue that easy (and yes, I do know that labyrinths and mazes are not quite the same thing but it's an associational kind of thing!).

can't get the hang of attatchments either so:

[sharp88]

Sharp is actually my second name, not a poor gimmick relating to knives or anything.

The 88 is just to fill it out a bit, but is nothing to do with neo-nazism or anything. After I signed up for BCUK, I found out 88 was actually used by alot of neo-nazis as it is of similar shape to SS. Not my intended meaning, its just I needed something to fill out my DP n two 8s looks kool.

I'd seen your avatar, John, and even hunted for it when I was posting to refer ro it (but like a lot of things in my life, couldn't find it when I wanted it!). I saw my first labyrinth down in Rocky Valley in Cornwall years ago and spoke to something deep in the core of my being. Been nuts about them ever since!

As for the screen name, I didn't have the imagination not to have one!

 

[Chester`C]

Chester'C well it means Chester Copperpot the guy who got killed hunting one eyed willy's treasure in the Goonies

Why ? well from my online gaming days I wanted a unique but not too serious name and it now follows me around were ever I may be on the web

 

[Robbo]

Mines is a short version of my email address Robbo1976( at )hotmail.com.

Why Robbo? My second name is Robertson.

Rivetting stuff I know

[riddleofsteel]

From Conan the Barbarian

Thulsa Doom

"Ahhh...the riddle of steel. You know of it do you boy?
Would you like me to tell you what it is?
Steel is not strong.
Flesh is stronger.
What is a sword compared to the hand that holds it?"

:Thinkingo

[Mungo]

My father had intended to call me Mungo (due to his Scottish heritage - St. Mungo and all that) but ended up calling me Simon. Mungo seems to me to be a rather funny name - especially living in Canada, where one never hears this name. And of course during high school my group of friends and I decided that the world was messed up enough that the only reasonable thing to say to or about it was "Bah". So my blog is Mungo Says Bah.
Mungo Says Bah.
