Thread: Your Handle? What does it mean?

Darn, I had it just a minute ago, right on the tip of my tongue too. Oh well, maybe it'll come back.

Dr. Henry Jones used his dogs name (Indiana) as his own; Why can't you (or I for that matter)?

Pure bred dogs require (or at least should have) a big name to register them. Otherwise there'd be a million dogs registered as "spike" or "lucky".

If you look over to my avatar there, that is a picture of Smudge. His full name is Baron Von Smudgenheimer.

We call him Smudge, but we call him The Baron when we want to talk about him with out him knowing we are talking about him.

I dunno why I used his name as my screen name but I did.

but don't you think he'll recognize the avatar as he's browsing srp?

Nothing fancy, it is just my name, well as much of my last name as it could be with me still keeping a little privacy.

My name is Stuart, and when I was at school we studied AA Milne. A mate of mine started calling me Winnie the Stu, which became Stubear and the name was born!

Its still a nickname now.

I came up with this when looking for a relatively-unique username.

Rebellious-teen interest in communism and the Cheshire Cat. I found that "commie" and "cheshire" were often taken on various forums, bulletin boards, newsgroups, etc., so I combined them into commiecat and have used it since.

I started with Cougar on bulletin boards because my first car was a '67 Cougar, but ditched that for the same reasons.

I am X. I am a man. xman is who I am.

It's a common user name which is annoying because it's frequently taken on different sites. My other user name, xmacd, is seldom used so I go there as a default if I can.

It's my name, plus the last three digits of a friends phone number. I used it on ebay, 5 or 6 years a go, and I have used it since. Sometimes I sign up to forums and think about changing it for something a little more meaningful, but after so long, I'm just used to logging in with it as much as anything else. I'm a creature of habit, I guess. For the same reason, I've never capitalized it!

Plus the fact that I've never had to change it because someone else was using it. A massive bonus for me. I'd like to think that in the various 'forum circles' a am in, it's quite recognizable.

well it's damn obvious, but here goes:

Sir: Sir Thomas Sean Connery my hero!

Shave: Well it's what I do!

A lot: Well I shave often, daily if not two times.

I have the hobby of doing resto work on older Y-Block and Flathead Ford and Mercury engines, and pre-unit British motorcycles. Boom. I have used it on Jalopy Journal and Jockey Journal forums for a bit as well...
