Diggory's name always makes me go "whoa!"

I'd always liked "ThunderousFunker." Depending on how you look at it, it could have different meanings.

He could be alluding to his sexual prowess, or a referrence to his insane rythm guitar skillz.

Ca$h's alias "knifecarrier", when taken in context, always seemed the most kickass to me, to be honest.

Diggory Laycock comes in second, though.

i think that names that are hard to pronounce like IUJHGS whatever are a bad idea

i know of him, but for the life of me i can't remember a single post of his in his 1311 posts

on the other hand, you readily remember personalities like juan valdes, philzilla...that are easily pronounced and remembered

I like Face Ache. The name fits well, as the punster-from-down-under's penchant for cracking wise oft imparts an ache in mine as well!

There was a thread in the OS X software forum the other day with consecutive posts that went like this:

Hi I'm Ben:

Hi Mike!


Hi, I'm Mike:

Hi Ben!


I think that was planned

As an old Star Trek buff, I've always liked "Silky Voice of the Gorn." That's from one of the cheeziest episodes they made.

I sometimes regret that I didn't come up with a funny or otherwise creative username, then I remember that I have a life.

Ha! I hate it! It was about my fourth choice. When registering I kept getting database errors, followed by "this email address is already registered" and then more database errors. I had to create three email accounts just to register here.

I should be Thin Ice, or El Kabong!

Oh well.

Thanks. I actually don't like my username at all, but I've had it so long that I don't want to change it now. I guess it's a brand identity thing.

Usernames I like: Colonel Panic, Fat Barry, and the starter of this thread, Apple Pro Underwear (whose old sigs I miss).

How can you not remember me, I am the guy who ratted out a bunch of people who's sigs were against the rules and was hated for a little while.

Anyway how hard is it to remember my name

who else has a bunch of crap in high case for a name?

it is clearly all about having a name that people remember. random numbers and letters (though there is someone dope with like 1011100101 or something, which is cool) is a mess.

funny names are great.
mac something names are LAME.
deathgodhater names = lame.

and posting that your name is the best in this thread just means you've got too much free time and not enough imagination.

Some other usernames I like, for reasons various and entirely subjective:

Crash Harddrive (inexplicably associated by yours truly with 'Buzz Lightyear' )

The star wars series of names. There seems always to be a creative combination of name/graphic/tag line in evidence.

Thunderous Funker. A fellow musician ... or perhaps just the bass player?

Zigzag. Works on so many levels .

Lerkfish - Swims from thread to thread with articulate ease, rises reliably to strike the bait, and yet so difficult to reel in!

Lemme add that poocat once posted how he came to be known as poocat and it is a righteous story.

That'd be another competition you're not likely to win

I think the best username is : Lerkfish

Not talking about the character, the name is the best for the purpose and the first in this forum I memorized.

I like Mr Natural too, but that is because it fits his style.

What about mine? Mine's inpired from shakespears home: Strafford-apon-avon(Sp?). I've taken the "old english city name" form, and used it in way that has multiple meanings that apply to me.

1. "English city name" concept

2. Location (I live in the Kearsare Area, and obviously I have a mac)

3. E-mail (I own kearsarge.net and yes [email protected] is a valid address! However currently I'm in the process of getting things setup to host from my servers so currently the domain is: kearsarge.homeip.net)

4. Civility. Kinda the same thing as number one, but you have to admit, it does have mature upper-class kind of ring to it.
