Tell us how you 'made' your user id

[chucklesR]

Come on folks, some of you have interesting user names on the forum.
Share.

ChucklesR is pretty normal - my name is Chuck and my last name starts with the letter R.
And of course I occasionally delude myself by believing I have a good sense of humor.

Your turn.

Tell.

Mine's pretty boring - used the last boat's name. It was archdiver before that though . . . for obvious reasons. Now, I'm at a crossroads over a new user id, or moniker change.

[PBzeer]

Mine came from an old friend. She used to call me PB (and no, I'm not telling what it stands for, but it's not peanut butter), but since I needed to make it different than other PB's, I added the "zeer". If I was starting fresh or on a new forum, I'd use the boat name.

Live in Washington...seemed pretty appropriate at the time....have never bothered changing it..

[Giulietta]

I did this:

In the sailnet register page, in the rectangle that says USER ID, I typed G, then I, then U, the L, then typed I again, then an E, T after another T and finally an A.


It was pretty easy

And we all know what the "A" was for

Mine is descriptive... my better half used to call me her big dog.... and I sail.... big dog that sails => sailingdog



GUI-

your beautiful better half had nothing to do with your choice either...

Hmmm.... well, you can guess on mine!!

[teshannon]

Just my first and middle name initials and my last name. Real creative huh.

[tdw]

Mine evolved. Way back when, in the days of a thing called Usenet I started calling myself Townes which was a nod to Townes van Zandt the songwriter who was something of a hero of mine. To avoid confusion with others I added the Wombat, the D is pure affectation, got bored with that so shortened it to TDW. Ta Dah.

Gee I bet you're glad you asked.
