How did Everyone Come up With Their Username?

Well, all my screen name on just about everything in the past was dedgirlzdontsayno so i figured i better clean it up a bit for this forum...

NGL that's pretty weird bro.

Well, my mental state at the time was in a weird place too

 

Mine is pretty obvious.

SUPERSTAR

 

Mine is a reference to my favorite band, twenty one pilots. But I'm bored of it too haha! Would people recognize me though? Idk, any name ideas for me, too?

 

It's a nickname for a character on a TV show I loved. It just kind of stuck.

 

Also, if any of you have suggestions for me, I'm listening!

Yes if you leave your picture until everyone knows its you. Make it good you can only change 2 or 3 times only forever. 30 days in between changes. Choose wisely young grasshopper.

Honestly this is a fear of mine too. I'm pretty friendly with some folks here, I don't want to be forgotten

Is just Mimo taken?

Idk but I want a complete swap!

 

Mine is from a Radiohead song.

 

Song lyrics are a good thing to think about. I do have something in mind, but I'm hesitant to explain further. I don't discount the possibility that I've ticked someone off enough to steal it out of spite, plus im not 100% in love with it yet.

You could put it in your signature for awhile too.

 

I wasn't expecting to be very active on here so I jus used a little joke nickname some of my friends call me and added fish on the end. Now I want to change it so it matches my youtube username but feel like noone would recognise me

I'm 99% on mobile so I don't see them. I totally forgot that was a thing. I totally will do that!

Do it AquaViva is so much better! They will get learned.

 

I've had many different names, this one was just a random draw in my head. I'm kind on the run from certain things which is why I didn't use a previous user, and I felt that someone hiding under an alias would use the phrase "[name], Just [name]" and "Drog" was just what came to me. Sounded silly so I went with it!

 

My nickname was my AOL screen name from the very early days of America Online, before it changed to AOL. I am one of the few AOL subscribers who do not have any numbers in my screen name. I have had that name for over 30 years.

Ok... DONT FORGET ME GUYS!

 

The people you interact with most will know your picture. And u can see username changes on your profile

 

See title. Mine is my old AOL screen name and I used it when I was just a lurker with no plans of sticking around. Now that I've been here awhile I want to change to something better but I have no idea what! How did you guys pick your usernames?

I want to hear from everyone but coralbandit I'm tagging you specifically only since it was asked in that podcast, and it made me curious too lol.

Since I was like 6 I always used Chewbacca773 for games and other 6-year old stuff
( click the link in bio for free v-bucks!! ), and while it looks out of place on a fish forum, I used it anyway.

Mods please don't ban me that was a joke I'm not a scammer who targets 6 yr olds

 

It's my initials. AE was taken or not allowed so I included my middle initial

 

Betty Brown is a character in a Kurt Vonnegut book, Slapstick. Her real name is Eliza and she has a twin named Wilbur. Together they're geniuses, but apart they're not as bright. When apart, they call themselves Betty Brown and Bobby Brown. I started calling myself Betty Brown online years ago but added the 922 for a few forums where Bettybrown wasn't available.

 

My usual username for things is HorseGirl115. So I just changed things around to fit a fish forum 11/5 is my birthday

 

When I first moved to China, I was one of very few foreigners in the city. Enough so that people would stop and take pictures sometimes. Thankfully that part is over. There were quite a few foreigners before the covid hit (a lot of people were travelling during the holiday and couldn't make it back).
Anyways, all the locals called me "Big Beard". My beard is not that big, but nobody grows them here. And it is a handsome beard, if I do say so myself.
Big Beard in Chinese is "Da Hu zi"

You were born in a very good month

 

I choose FishBoy101 cause FishBoy was taken. I use FishBoy for everything now....

 

My son gave me this name after the movie, 'Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai'. Sorta my rap name, I do use it on other places!

 

I believe this question was just asked a few months ago. It comes up every year or so, the oldest thread on record is [this one] from 2017, just after the forum software upgrade.

Friend of mine used to call me Chrome Dome when we were in chat back on Fishnet. (I called him Fuzz Face for his hillbilly beard). When I switched providers, I tried to register with chromedome, but it was taken, so I added my birth year of 52. Prior to that I used a few different screen names, but this one kind of stuck.

I like the name snookusfish.......

 

Ok... DONT FORGET ME GUYS!

Byeeeee

 

I closed my eye and let my fingers do the talking.

 

Mines just a reference to a Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s court, I think most can guess what 79 might reference I kind of want to change it. I do love this thread though!

Also faydout the Bends is my fav Radiohead album, and street spirit is a great tune. I’m showing my age but the first time I saw them was in 95 opening for REM and that album had just come out. Loved them ever since

 

I've never actually seen them live. I spent alot of those years overseas, I got to see some cool shows (the Cure in Rome for instance) but couldn't ever make a Radiohead show happen. They're the only ones out of the top 5 - 10 of my all time favorites that I've never seen. To date myself, I had just gotten stationed in Pearl Harbor and one of the first things I did to get out and see the scene was going to an official release party for OK Computer, my favorite album of theirs.

Hope that stays far in the past. There aren't fishlore appropriate words for how bad a username that is.


Mine was my fish-related tumblr username. Chosen because, well, I have a fish problem.

 

I can't put my psn name on here either...its not near as bad as that, just innapropriate language

 

I wanted something a little more original than "Kartofel".

 

Would people recognize me though? Idk, any name ideas for me, too?

I am WAS with you here. My old username used to be bettaandcorylover. Now its BettasAreSuperior. Also, I was scared as well ppl would forget me BUT you can start a thread about changing your username AND put it in your signature, mention it frequently as well. A BUNCH of people still recognize me. But I see your fear because I was there. About changing your username, we need more information about you so just tell us about you and we can go from there! Also, you can P.M some folks.

Also, if any of you have suggestions for me, I'm listening!

Jett is my grandson's name (short for Jethro), and he calls me Papa, so that's where mine came from. I'm on two other forums. One deals with Solidworks, the software I make my living with, and I use my real name on it (most people on there do). I'm Rafter S on a cattle related forum (my registered brand).
