Explain Your Handle Thread

[watelessness]

Hans and I were chatting this morning and could not find a thread for explaining handles.

mine is a play on spelling, but it means that if the sound pressure is high enough, you will feel weightless.

 

[Tim]

Mine? My parents started calling me Tim years back.... just kind of stuck!!

 

[AP515]

AP is for Average Player. The numbers are the code to the locks on my PRS cases that use codes (an no I don't have to kill you now that I told you).

 

[ElrytNamrogo]

A long time ago, I took mine and all my brothers names and made aliases for our XBOX Live gamertags. Elryt Namrogo is my name scrambled,Tyler Gorman...but I kinda cheated and used the original Irish last name "O'Gorman" to have the extra "o" at the end.

 

[RedGuitars]

um...

Prior to the old un-offical PRS forum morphing into the Gear Page, I used my real name on all of the forums.

When the official forum and VR took over, I went back under cover - there are some nutty people in the world...

 

[CoreyT]

I go by my real first name on all the forums I am on.
Unfortunately Corey was taken here and a few other sites, so I had to add "T" to it for the first letter in my last name.

 

[Raven17]

Xbox Live gamer tag. Raven for my favorite team and 17 is my lucky number.

 

[Sekunda]

Mine is a little more... umm, difficult to explain. In high-school my friend had this ex-girlfriend who was a total c@#t, so we started calling her sekunda-c@#t. We then wrote a song about her in my metal band and called it Sekunda. It just kinda stuck with me ever since...

[HANGAR18]

I'm not only a MEGADETH fan but I also find great humor in the stories of space aliens and government conspiracy theories.

 

[Aeetus]

Aeetus = Eagle.... see avatar!

 

[BobbyD]

I was working in sales at a bank in Delaware when my boss gave me the nickname. I helped a lot of my team members out on an informal basis, and the manager started talking about how I kept the team together. So he nicknamed me Bobby Digital after a music producer (the RZA) - even though no one else knew what he was talking about. That was quickly shortned to Bobby D for ease of use.

 

[John Scrip]

Mine is symbolic of my lack of creativity when signing up for forums.

 

[garrett]

Garrett is my middle name, and the name most people call me. I have no creativity when it comes to screen names. I don't bother to capitalize the "g" out of pure laziness.

 

[Saruman]

Saruman the melodic wizard

(Hmm I actually need this picture with Saruman holding a metallic red Santana :laugh

I first read Lord of the Rings in '78. Then, mid '80s when I started programming VIC20 and Commodore 64, I created a start screen for my little programs that read "Saruman Softronics". I liked the alliteration, and I thought the good-turned-evil wizard was more interesting than the good wizard. (And besides, the name Gandalf was slightly tainted a bit in Holland because of some sort of erotic magazine from the '70s).
Then I started gaming, and I used the handle Saruman; my mailserver uses domain saruman.biz; most of my forum and wiki handles are Saruman or variants thereof. And of course there's the satisfaction of naming my smartphone "Palantír" etc.

 

[Goldfixer]

I'm a jeweler, I fix gold....

Love it! Brutal!

Big fan here too....there are a few Metal Heads on here....but everyone on this forum is cool.

 

[Rider1260]

I have had mine since I was on AOL in the 80s
One of my great loves in life ( Riding )
and when I was born 12/60

 

[John Beef]

My name is John. When I bought my 1st PRS and signed up for BaM, I was playing in a band called Chief Beef. I also like to eat beef and I like beefy guitar tones, and John Beef has a nice ring to it too.
