Thread: Why is your Username/Nickname?

Saw this posted over at SMF.com, and thought it was a good idea. How did you come up with your chosen username? I'll start: "threeputt", as in the verb ...Regrettably, it's something I do quite frequently. On the golf course, of course. If you're not a golfer and this makes no sense, threeputting is not a good thing! My short game sux. Merry Christmas, by the way! ....Jeff

Went by AFDavis for a long time everywhere, it is my initials and name but as I was in the Air Force for 22 years the AF part fit well too.

It's my name.

The Wop is because I'm Italian, The Man because I'm a Man, and the Fixit is because I'm in charge of building maintenance, I fix (or repair) things. I'm a "hands on" type, so I've fixed everything from the women's jewelry to most any building componant you can name (except computers, I screw them up.lol), to fabricating custom componants.

Mine's pretty self explanatory. I've a PhD in Forestry (hardwood Silviculture) and am a professor in the Auburn University School of Forestry and Wildlife Sciences.

I think mine's pretty self-explanatory, too. I'm lawyer. I live in New Jersey. I'm also a lawyer for the state, so either way it works.

Martial arts has been a way of life for almost 14 years now. We do not require students to address us as sensei, and I prefer they don't. My instructors have never required the use of titles, and it frankly makes me uncomfortable when new students do it. It's mainly something that started with my friends many years ago. A few of my colleague started doing it once I made 4th degree blackbelt, which is when you can use the title in most martial arts systems, just as a way to sort of joke with me.

Mine has been Heirphoto since I got my first computer. A previous business of mine was Heirloom Photorgraphic "Heirphoto". I used to build reproduction wooden view cameras for reenactors doing wet plate collodion photography.

Some of my cameras have been used in movies, used at the George Eastman House for teaching early processes and many are used by contemporary commercial and fine art photographers like Sally Mann and Robert Maxwell.

I got used to the name and never really thought about a more razor oriented name instead.

I'm in the witness protection program, so I could never divulge that it is one of my initials with my last name and year of birth.

ooooooooops!

I usually go simply by 'X' because somebody has to represent the generation. xman is a very old nickname. I've been called that since before there was an internet or usernames.
