What’s Up with Your Screen Name

[exalectric]

My name is Exa, and I worked with a guy for a few years who always called me "electric" so I became ExaLectric in all things.

 

[Babado]

Mine stems from in game names starting about 17 years ago. I have always named characters starting with Baba.... Its just what I do.
Babado

 

[exalectric]

Slightly more unusual nickname to my real name. On some other sites its Daniacat. I grow up with cats and I will have several shoals of catfish in my tanks when they're mature enough.

We have 5 cats (and one catfish in the fresh community tank). I'm often called the crazy cat lady in my family / friends.

 

[ClownSchool]

I’m just a goof that’s here to learn...

 

[Staghorn]

It’s a combo of my favorite chili and my favorite brass instrument.

 

[PhilMStudy]

PhilMStudy

school username from college that stuck

 

[CaseyWagner]

On here, I'm just boring old me.
Everywhere else my handle is Cannibal Holiday.
When I tried out Second Life years and years ago, you had to pick a last name from a list. So I paired that with Cannibal for some 'flavour' and voila.

Funny thing is that working at a game studio for a while in the early 2000s, a lot of people there were known by their handles or shortened forms of them, because you spend so much time online with them, or you can only have so many Mikes before your brain explodes. (We had 13 Mikes at the company at one point).

 

[zoaprince]

i regret my username. I like zoas, but I'm no prince. maybe zoapleb would have been more fit

 

[JayA]

Mine is my first initial J(ay) and last initial A. I didn't feel worthy of a fishy name as a newbie, and HATE when people mispronounce and misspell my first name Janette, so that it becomes Janet, so that was out.

 

[BanjoBandito]

The only thing more insane than my aquarium spending is my banjo spending. Been playing for almost 20 years now. I was also pretty wild in my younger years and that's where I got the nickname, due to my relationship with my spanish teacher wife.

 

[Glenner’sreef]

My name is Glenn (2 “n” s, the first is silent) My family and friends call me Glenner.

 

[RedReefer]

I'm a red reefer.

 

[CMMorgan]

It's my name haha

Same - LOL I guess we're just boring.

 

[mpatient]

Mine is actually a derivative of my first and last name. Pretty fitting for this hobby too!

 

[Quietman]

Family is always commenting on my reticence and "Whatsthematterissomethingwrongyourenotsayingmuchnoijustdonthaveanythingtosay Man" is probably over sharing a tad.

 

[saltnut]

Saltnut slight reference to salt water tank

 

[Waters]

For Roger Waters/Pink Floyd......and has nothing to do with the hobby as most people think lol.
