Why did you choose your screen name?

[Slow and wobbly]

Was interested to find out how and why people arrived at their chosen screen name here at KSRC and for some on other forums.

Me... The first forum I joined was the UK Motorcycle news forum. Everyone there was known as " Fast R1 ", "Rocket CBR" or my favourite ( who I see is still there) " Fastasfuck123". I chose to be typicaly laconic and Australian and just go with "Slow and Wobbly". Dont have to live up to anything with that name!

[ty]

my initials - boring

[Strika]

Puppy dogs name!

[short n fat]

Because I'm actually quite tall and muscular....well not really. Short n Fat pretty much sums it up
I actually wanted one of my other user names "short fat bearded bastard" but the registration thingy said it was too long

O, The name thing sorry. I had no say in it

[Wattie]

it said nickame, so i put my nickname in.

its the more common nickname out of many.

[sneakypete]

ive had 3 names:

cambo - coz its the contraction of my surname- campbell

cambo: version 2 - coz cambo (first one) died in the great KSRC crash which happened a month after i joined, so i created a newer, improved version of myself

sneakypete: because i am very very sneaky sir. And its what i used everywhere else, so i figured i would make them all same.

[Neka79]

neka...well i once ripped this guys throat out..and they said "shit he necked him" and it stuck....








or maybe i didnt..but my initials are NEK and ive been called neka since i was 9....

u be the judge!

[Billz]

Because it's my name, Bill - and it's what all my hobbies (bikes, scuba, aviation) seem to leave me with - and I was looking for something that related to Kwakas and the 'z' works better for that than an 's'. Simple really.

[esie]

When I got on the 'net in the dark ages (well, 1996) I wanted a nick that was completely opposite from me - something that sounded a little dark, exotic, sexy (just think Esmeralda Villalobos, the taxi driver in Pulp Fiction). So, I came up with Esmerelda. Fast forward a couple years and no-one could spell the nick, plus I was lying to myself with the dark exotic sexy thing! So, I shorted it to esie, and have had that ever since.
