Just wondering if anyone wants to share an explanation of their screen name? Some of them are obvious of course, like a real name - Tom, Manuel; Initials - EPJ3, JRT67SS350.

Since I'm starting this thread, I'll go first. If you guessed that Kirby is my real first name, you would be right!

My car is my Harley........I love to ride, dated a couple of guys with bikes, the bike was better than they were, my choice was to buy myself a Harley and hire someone to drive me around or just get a convertible and I would have the wind in my hair at my disposal instead of someone elses.

Well, as Kirby alluded to, my screename is based on my initials. It's actually really old - I devised it back in 1994 when I first signed up for an internet email account - somehow it just stuck and has followed me since.

jrt = my initials
67ss350 = My 1967 SS 350 Camaro

This is a good thread [thumb]

My name, Chesty Bonds, is a bit complex but i will try to explain...
My surname is Chester and so i quite often have people call me 'Chest', 'Chessi', 'Chess', 'Chesty' etc. In OZ we have a very famous clothing manufacturer called 'Bonds' and one day a bloke at school called me 'Chesty Bonds'. It's kinda stuck the whole way. Pretty stupid but makes for a good nick-name!

BTW poboyis i like the meaning behind your name! I'm in the same boat mate.

My screen name is a nickname given me by my cohorts at work. It was also my grandfather's nickname. It is also because of being 6-0 and weighing 250lbs. (I prefer to give my grandfather the credit...I miss him)

Being the F1 fan I am McLarensMPS, my name is derived from the name and models of team McLaren cars. Their F1 car model prefix's are MP4 (standing for McLaren Project Four) - model number, i.e MP4-14, MP4-15 (this year they used the MP4-19, and the MP4-19B), hence my name is basically McLaren's MPs

Libelle is german for dragonfly. back at home (pictures of the house i posted a little while back) we have a rediculous amount of dragonflies and probably one of the most interesting insects. so my first screen name (aol) was KingDragonfly and its stuck.
The X is "first name" initial for my internet handle XNOR. i created while in college studying boolean algebra and thought that gate best "described" my personality

my avatar is the cross between a german eagle emblem and the kelloggs rooster i drew up a few years ago. symbolizes my entire families german heritage and my growing up as an american... sets me off from the family.
