Champion  26509    Sydney |  Subject: RE: Explain your nickWhen i was about 15 I discovered hotmail and finding a name that wasnt used was hard...but i had a greek guy in my class and he was trying to translate everyones names to greek (because we thought that was fun) so i took that and blended it with my real name for my hotmail address: Catherine = kaqphin and it stuck, i use it everywhere online now so when I was signing up I figured no one would be using it since Ive never come across it anywhere! |

Expert 862  BFE | Subject: RE: Explain your nick My first nickname (COVEREDWITHZITS) wasn't really popular. So I changed it to SMELLIKEAFART. But that didn't work to well either. Then I noticed everyone else had cool sporty names, or real manly-man names, so I thought to myself, "What name screen name could I us, that once read, would just scream Triathlon or Endurance sports?" So here are a few I came up with: IGOTMONKEYBUTT MYTAINTHURTS SCABBYNIPPLE RAZORBURN IMNOTCOLD SHRINKAGE-BOY (I stole that one from Seinfeld, but I think most guys can relate) EBay-BIKE-BUYER But none of those really got me, so.....I decided to use Falls-Runner, since I run and ride alot near a Amicalola Falls. Great Thread! |

Regular 99 Houston, TX | Subject: RE: Explain your nick I didn't really give any thought to my name, since I was just visiting the BT site looking for a friend's log. So, I guess I am inadvertantly welcoming the stalkers, too, since I have given up way too much personal information on this site. If I had to do it over again, I would probably pick broccoli, my nickname playing water polo at Rice. There I go again, with the personal information...  |

Champion 7551 Albuquerque, New Mexico Bronze member | Subject: RE: Explain your nick max - 2006-01-10 6:28 PM Mine is a nickname to separate me from my Dad who has the same name. It was infuriating growing up and having my Mom yell and not knowing if it was my fault this time or what!! The "MaxPower" in my email address came from Homer Simson. "Max Power...nice name!" "Thanks, I got it off a hair dryer." Easy, it should ALWAYS be your dad that Mom is yelling at! He'll insist it is you. |

| Champion 8903 | Subject: RE: Explain your nick possum - 2006-01-10 7:37 PM (hey max, one of our top male name choices for our unconcieved son is Wallace! I say after Wallace Stevens, Kathryn says after Wallace Stegner, and the pooches say after W and Gromit! just seems like a big name for a baby, so maybe he will end up max!) Possum, not to get off topic but I have to tell you that the late Wallace Stegner was a cool author. I really got into his stuff on researching the history of the Donner Party! OK...back on topic, carry on! |

Expert 620 Guelph, Ontario | Subject: RE: Explain your nick Mine is kinda boring.. Elly is just a nick name I have had my whole life. Its usually taken, so I was surprised when I actually got it to work on BT. |

| Champion 6539 South Jersey | Subject: RE: Explain your nick Mine's simple - Lauren is my first name; SU is the college I went to (Susquehanna University); 02 is the year I graduated from college. I created it as a screen name for something during my freshman year of college and I just use it for everything that requires a screen name now. |

Champion 7036 Sarasota, FL | Subject: RE: Explain your nick I think was reading the book All Corvettes are Red at the time I picked my name. I've loved Corvettes since I was ten years old and first saw a new '63 split window coupe sitting in the dealer's showroom in Auburn, Indiana where I grew up. After twenty some years of raising kids, paying mortgages, etc, I finally bought my first one six years ago. I love to tinker with it out in the garage on the weekends and it's great for cruising along the beach at sunset with the top off. Oh, yeah, it's Red. And yes, it's fast... |

Pro 4189 Pittsburgh, my heart is in Glasgow | Subject: RE: Explain your nick Phoenix- I am obsessed with the story of the phoenix. It is sort of a "totem" animal for me. The ability to rise from nothing and burn brightly...its a symbol of strength. Azul- spanish for blue. I love spanish, but blue is the color of courage, a color of hope, and has meaning to my sorority affiliation. so there ya go. |

Extreme Veteran 333 Las Vegas, NV | Subject: RE: Explain your nick Well, I was a police officer/Detective for 15 years. KRASH is, or was the name of the LA Sheriff's Gang Unit (Community Resources Against Street Hoodlums), and 187 is the CA penal code for Homicide. I used to watch the movie Colors w/Sean Penn and Robert Duvall, so my co-workers gave me the name, and it just stuck. |

Elite 2673 Muskego, WI | Subject: RE: Explain your nick kimta - 2006-01-10 4:32 PM Darn! I want a cool name! I guess I didn't give mine much thought because I thought I was just logging in to get a little information initially and never thought it would blossom into a full-fledged addiction (to BT and to Tri). Ditto. But, if anyone is wondering, my name is Dan Morrissey, and a certain group of friends in college called me morey. Then, for laughs, when I got married they started calling my wife Denise morey2, and me morey1. Fortunately Denise is OK with the no. 2 rating, though I routinely remind her she's in charge and I'll do whatever she says. :) Edited by morey1 2006-01-11 7:30 AM |

Champion 6786 Two seat rocket plane | Subject: RE: Explain your nick Because it's funny, that's why. Really, there is a long and involved story involving monkeys, rum, a stolen sailboat, a pink strip club and the (former) dictator of a small central American nation.....but I digress |

| Master 1597 Colorado | Subject: RE: Explain your nick nbo10 - 2006-01-10 2:17 PMnb -- NiobiumO -- Oxygen10 -- the Number of Oxygennbo10 short for NbSr2RuCu2O10, the first superconductor that I synthesized during grad school. But, does that sound geeky. Holy Cow! I almost used the same name. Wouldn't THAT have been embarassing... Stake was my call sign back in my flying days. Edited by Stake 2006-01-11 9:06 AM |
