How did you get your user name??

[Midhigh]

I have been reading many posts and putting my .02 in. And Was just wondering if anyone ever wonders how people come up with their user name.
Mine is "Midhigh" I am a Mid-High youth Pastor (that's the same as Jr. High for us old schoolers). So midhigh seemed to be the right name(not mention I'm short). We have a group of Students that ride. We are trying to come up with a cool name, but nothing yet.
I'd be interested to hear your story!

 

[Rich Rohrich]

I got mine because my parents lacked creativity and named me after my Dad. I didn't see any point in bucking tradition :)

 

[DANIEL JOSEPH]

I typed my name in the wrong box with the cap lock on. :o

 

[Chief]

I'm a Native American Wannabe. Also been known to dance around the campfire every so many moons. :)

 

[placelast]

I joined twice; first under "Lastplace" when getting back into riding/enduros after being out of the sport. The name was intended to encourage better finishes than, well, it says it all. Then my lovely wife found out I was organizing DRN rides, and to bring peace I pitched it all; about the same time LongTime got some heat over a political discussion here; not wanting others to confuse us two, it was time for a change.

Lacking creativity when rejoining later I simply switched sylables to promote for some measure of continuity. Like: remember me? I'm back (so what?)

Having been nominated for an icon way back, but wanting to wait for the SoCa Wrecking crew to come up with a name to go along with the icon...I'm still waiting...

 

[IrishEKU]

My ethinicity well 1/2 of it anyway and the school I am attending.

 

[RJ-KDX]

Hi, my name is Richard Jones and I have an addiction. (In background the group yells, "Hi Richard.") I am addicted to my '01 KDX 220.

:yeehaw: :yeehaw: :yeehaw: :yeehaw:

 

[sledman]

About the time Thanksgiving rolls around, I eat, breathe, & live on my sled (Snowmobile) every chance I get, which is up to 2000 miles of OFF trail, high quality, Idaho mountain boondockin', until sometime in May. Ya, baby, ya!

 

[KelvinKDX]

I was rushed - OK - so i didn't think that i could never change my name once people got to know me by my DRN name. At the time i had no intentions to ever own another bike other than a KDX ... uh... and my dog forced me in to it.

Kelvin = dogs name
KDX = current bike

... and don't call me Kevin (that's someone else)!


What am i going to do once the dog runs off with some sexy mutt and i am stuck here with the KDX all by myself?

I'd have to get another dog named Kelvin - and those are a pretty rare find. ;)

 

[Lutz]

I got my nickname while I was working in a garage ("The Garage" actually). Everyone else there had a nickname, and my Boss decided I needed one too. My last name, Latvala, for some strange reason is hard for many people (make that most people) to get right; anyway, my boss decided that I needed to be called something else, and in short order my name became Lutz.

I never did quite decide if Lutz is a combination of Latvala and klutz....

 

[BIGFOOT16]

Mine was easy.Shoe size.

 

[Jamir]

I don't ride a Kdx but I like this subject. I got my name because some 9 1/2 ass clown already had Blue Thunder and since I will always be the loudest bike in the pack unless I am riding with Harleys, I need to be Thunder. And my number is 33. I am not 33. Someday I will be and that year will be cool I guess. I am glad I am not Blue Thunder though since, other than one lone bolt, my bike is not blue anymore. I might change number someday but I am probably too lazy for all of that.

 

[Brian]

Boy, how many threads like this have there been before :confused:

My name is not Stan, and my last name is not Flemmings. My name is Brian. Stan Flemmings was just a random name I picked. There's lots more to the story, but.........

 

[splatt]

Mine is my first initial S and my last name Platt........splatt. A few people thought it had something to do with my riding style but I`ve had it long before I started riding.

[IrishEKU]

LOL! Is it just me or should this thread be moved to the "General Discussions" area? There is alot of history here, just a thought, and I think it ought to be shared. There are some imaginative screen names out there I would like to see the reasons behind them.

 

[DWreck]

I thought it up when I was setting around healing from a crash. DWreck sounds a little like my real name Derek. I almost went with Hop-along Catastrophe. Thats a nick name a friend gave me after my first knee surgery.

 

[stevohhh]

Just one of my many nicknames. Real name is Steve, when I was young dad always called me stevoh. Ya get it Huh, Huh.
I am also a subscribing member under another name on my computer at work (srhill), no immagination there.

 

[TransAm77]

I own a 77 Trans-Am. It's in pieces scatertd around my storage shed..but it's mine.

 

[Loughty]

I picked mine because it is a nickname I got from the other workers when I did construction in high school. Also it beat the other nickname I got while working at college, HiLow, dont ask. Anyways, it is just the first part of my last name, and thats what they called me.

 

[Loughty]

Oh, sledman, what part of Idaho?

[G. Gearloose]

You folk born well before Reagan was President may remember an eccentric, hair-challenged antisocial homely inventer and spode Disney character named Gyro. Since the resemblance was uncanny ;) thats what it is.

i just used G. to make you think, and also because it sounded like Gee, Gear Loose which is often uttered when working on my stuff.
