Interesting Usernames

Unread post by Onelife »

I just happened to notice one of our members username (4lisab4thD) and thought what a clever use of letters for a username.

Just wondering if there is any interesting reason why you choose your username?

I think 'Onelife' is self explanatory but there are some pretty unusual ones out there...anyone prepared to tell us the origins of them?

Regards

Onelife

Mine was intended to be an amusing cruising term, honest, albeit with a twist ... ;)

Umpteen P&O sites ago I signed up on behalf of myself plus Mobietta and so the unisex name of ' Ma Noverboard ' was born but Mobietta decided not to bother posting and the name was causing boy / girl type confusion to one or two of the members at that time so I had it changed to ' Manoverboard '.

Not as interesting as the origin of ' Stephen ' I grant you but tell us, ' Onelife ', how do you know with absolute certainty that you won't live a second life ?

Funnily enough I've been thinking of changing mine. When I joined the old P&O forum it was the first forum I'd ever joined and when I was asked for a username I didn't realise that would be my name on the forum :roll:
I kept it for David's forum so that everyone would know who I was but I don't like it, it's so boring. I look at other people's names and think now why didn't I think of something clever like that. I considered asking for suggestions but decided against that (too many comedians on here :lol:) So maybe I'll try and come up with a better name and change it at some point.

Mine was after a pirate teddy that I bought on Artemis, whilst I could get the photo of it on the old P & O forum I can't shrink it enough for this one. :-(

I just like to remain incognito….

Shiney was the nickname given to administrators in the RAF. My hair started turning silver in my mid-20s.

Meg - cos it's the only contraction of Margaret I'll countenance.
50 cos that's how old I was when I first had an email

and a space which isn't needed on other forums but this one needed an extra character in the username!

and the avatar is Meg and Mog

Mine is not interesting at all: wolfhound on the old P&O forum, now condensed to wolfie as our dear wolfhound died so needed a similar name but not exactly the same; that would have been upsetting, as only dog lovers will know.

I am Diva on CD and avid on CM for those who frequent those sites. Seems that fancying a change of username is a no no for some but hey, many on here know me from years back, so frankly, I don't give a d**n!
