Default User name: Can you explain yours?

Don't know if this has been asked here recently, but it came up on another web forum I frequent and I found the responses to be interesting...

Some of our user names are obvious, some aren't.

Mine is "Steve 96C4S" which is a no brainer for figuring out what it is. It's obviously my first name and my car. Some of your user names are more unusual/bizarre. Can you explain your user name?

Thanks for participating.

I signed up for these forums before I knew what an internet handle was.

So, I got shafted with a first name -space- last name sort of handle.

I was only 20 when I registered on Pelican Parts and Rennlist shortly there after.

Mines simply my LAN ID from work. They take the first 5 letters of your surname and the first letter of your first name - Darren SIDNEy - SIDNED.
Pretty boring I know, but like Leland Pete, I didn't realise whatan internet handle was until too late!

Well my first name is Leo and my surname is very close to Sayer.

For the avoidance of doubt, I'm 6'4" with straight hair and can't sing.

My initials and the firing order of the 3.6

The more I think about it, the more I wonder why I chose that.



Oh well.

I've double and triple checked and it is still my first name. But you can call me Marv.
