[Garf]

My nickname at school a long time ago now, and it stuck. Actual name is Gary F. Just happens to be the acronym for

Geothermal Aquaculture Research Foundation​

 

[Vette67]

I love hockey and am a redhead who does a pretty good rooster impression

Vette67. Beautiful!!!! I love corvettes but babies ended my C5 ownership. one day there will be a vette in the garage again!

Do it. Tell the wife, I approve! I bought the car before I got married, because I figured it most likely wouldn't happen after that. I heard a lot of stories to that effect. And with my son about to enter college next year, yeah there's no way it would fly now. I also started the tank before I even met my wife, so she knew that was a package deal too!

 

[saltcats]

I always put 'cat' somewhere in my name, and, well - this is a forum for saltwater!

 

[nanonøkk]

i used the name nøkk for a while i just put nano with it because i’ve only had nano tanks

 

[burningmime]

Inside joke from a long time ago. If a mime was on fire, they couldn't scream. It's not a very funny joke.

Name I used when I played MMOs... started waaaaayyyyy back in the original EverQuest days. Name of a start with some old medieval astrological importance.

Glad you clarified that, because your name could very easily be misinterpreted.

 

[Cell]

Needed an Xbox gamertag 10+ years ago. At the time, I was doing a lot of cell culture and expansion so I came up with Cellsplitter. But that was too many digits so it became Cellspot. That's now my PSN name and I use it at my online alias in general. For whatever reason, I shortened it even more when joining here to just Cell. I'm an antibody scientist so it fits.

 

[AltitudeAquarium]

I have an aquarium at high altitude in Colorado. I am considered as a high altitude hillbilly. So AltitudeAquarium

 

[KrisReef]

Mom really was hoping I would be a girl. The rest you can guess.

Still, If I could do it all over I'd imbed a gif in my username.

 

[jonash65]

My car. Sort of... Long story, but I own a 68 Corvette and my dad has a 67 Corvette. My dad bought the 67 in the mid 70's, and I grew up looking at that car my whole life. So when I was old enough, and could afford it, I bought my own in 1999. He passed away in 2015, and my mom still drives the 67. So eventually, I will have to sell my 68 so I can make room for the 67. I chose the 67 to use as my username, even though I don't own one, but my dad's is a much nicer car, so I'd rather be associated with that one! The 67 is the maroon car, and the 68 is the black one. So, that's the basic the story....

My 65

 

[Biglew11]

Biglew was my nickname in the Marines 93-99. the 11 came later when joining a site and Biglew was taken so I tried Biglew1 and that was also taken, so in a moment of superiority complex I came up with 11 as having 2 number ones in it, been using it every where since.

 

[Vette67]

My 65

Nice. I like it. I can tell that is the original maroon. My dad's was originally Nassau Blue. But when he bought it in the 70's, someone had already painted it maroon. Around 2005, he had his car repainted, and he still liked maroon, but he had it painted 2003 Anniversary Red. He just liked that color maroon better. Maybe at some point, I'll go back to Nassau Blue, but not any time soon!

That’s cool! I’ve always loved science, so that seems like a pretty epic job. Mine is obviously laxreefer22 because I play lacrosse, I am also a huge homebody and love staring at my fish tank and relaxing....you can see where I got lax, reefer is the go to here, and 22 is my lacrosse number! But cool job!

Is this a local area non-profit? Love the idea and would love to participate!

 

[Weasel1960]

Childhood nickname and year born. I have one username and one password for everything I do, that way I don’t have to remember too many. LOL.

 

[Morbo]

I usually go by MrX on reef sites (started with that on Boston Reefers) -- I couldn't think of anything better when I signed up there years ago, so MrX it was.

When I finally decided to actually sign up here on R2R and not just stalk I found MY NAME (you hear me @Mrx *grin*) was taken.

Morbo is a Futurama character (and also the theme of my network/computer naming):



If @Mrx wants to give up his screen name I'll swap.

 

[ApoIsland]

Apo Island was my second favorite snorkel trip. Also love the Philippines in general so it was a little shout out to them.

 

[Mike from TN]

I’m just some old dude from Tennessee named Mike. I do go by “McLovin” on another ( truck) forum though.

 

[windemerejack]

Quite boring really, my name is Jaqueline, and everybody calls me Jack (except for my father who called me Jacqueline) and im from and live in Windemere in the Lake District, UK.
