Borrowing Obie's idea about learning what each member's avatar means, some of us have pretty obscure handles (or "screen names") too.
What does yours mean, represent, or why did you choose it?

Simple, it's my name

Its the name of my recording studio, and email i use it for everything:)
I was playing a Zombie Apocalypse game while trying to come up with an off-the-cuff screen name that wasn't taken (I don't like adding numbers to get a screen name to work) and I got mauled and, subsequently, killed, by a shaggy, hobo zombie... Musing about getting mauled by a scruffy zombie while applying to a shaving forum, ShavedZombie worked.
Voila.
I live near Detroit.
Furir is my swedish military rank, it's sergeant when I speak to other nations.
My Dog's name in Bingo... Bingobango. I don't know...?
I serve in the Navy. Currently being at the ship service makes me a sailor?
My name is Jimmy H. and I am an AD or acquisition disordermeister.

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? :pQuote:

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. :D
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.
Cheers

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...
Its what I do Fabricate metal in useable things, and sometimes scrap nobody is perfect.
Hello, everyone:
My handle is my show name: Obie. My full name Obelit. I was named after the Assyrian king Ashur Uballit I (1363-1328 B.C.). The spelling has changed.
When I came to America way back when, I could not speak English. My high school teachers (Senn High School, Chicago) had a nightmare trying to pronounce my name. On my first day in class, where I had no idea what the hell was going on or who was saying what, my teacher asked, I assume, what my name meant. "What is this Aristotle saying?" I remember muttering to myself in Assyrian.
One day that same teacher called me Obie — and it stuck. I have never much cared for the name "Obie," but I was stuck with it. I continued using it in radio, because I knew there was no way anyone could fully understand my name Obelit, let alone pronounce it.
So here I am, ladies and gentlemen: Obie.
Regards,
Obelit
Why, I'm the guy Bill Gates comes to when he's short on cash.
My name comes from my past history as a counterstrike expert. I joined a team that had 8 members but needed 10. At the time they were all picking names of characters of quiten tarantions "resivoir dogs" Unfortunatly all the names were taken even blue! So I picked Mrmaroon!
*Sigh* I'm usually a little more creative with this sort of thing.
Mack is short for my last name and Mackie from that.
I got into geocaching shortly after changing jobs and funds were tight. At that time there was, and still is, a focus on "getting your numbers up", referencing the number of caches that you had found and logged. The handle was appropriate for me on both levels because I could just barely afford to get a GPSr and I had logged only a handful of caches.
Oddly enough, the handle is still appropriate, regardless of the hobby I choose. Due to the adoption of our younger daughter we are still recovering financially and are constantly short on funds. I'm still active in geocaching, but I've quit logging caches I find unless they are really worth writing about, which is reflected in my low numbers.
I'm so used to the handle that I use it on all forums I join. As a bonus, I've only seen one similar handle so it is somewhat unique.
- Mark (S-4-C) (And it's easy to abbreviate as well!)
I'm not really like Johnnie Stark, the hero in No Mean City. Those who have read the book will know he was: 'The Razor King'.
I'm a band director. At my first school, the football coach called me Bandman, and it stuck.
It's a line in the Hope There's Someone song by Antony and the Johnsons.

In college, I lived on the Hollister wing of my building, on the 4th floor. I was good at finding things on the internet, so my hallmates assumed I was pirating things. I was not, and never have, pirated anything. I don't know anything about hacking. Anyway, I've stuck with the nick for the last 6 years or so.
ras--the ancient Ethiopian honorific, as in Ras Tafari
tew for Gwilyn Tew, the fifteenth-century Glamorgan bard
art because living well is an art, or should be; also in tribute to the Arts & Crafts movement.
No, that's all hooey. First and middle initials and last name. Has the great advantage that, most of the time, I can remember it. :)

Well my real name is Bob Pelletier, thus bobpell.
But I sign all my posts Pelkey which was my grandfather's nickname.

It's where I live.

In the old days it used to be spelt Fern Tree Gully - FTG is the common abbreviation.
I like living here - nice sounding name and living in the foothills of the Dandenong Ranges.
All the best,
Michael.
It's a complicated form of my name:
LX=Alex=Alexander
Emergency translates as = Nood which sounds the same as my last name = Noot in Dutch.
