How did you come up with your screen name?

[rasivad]

I'm still a little lost on this tech forum stuff but I won't figure it out unless I do it right? RASIVAD is intriguing to many since I use it as my email also but then when I explain it it's really kind of boring. R A the first initials of my first and middle names and SIVAD is just Davis spelled backward. Having a name like Davis I've found many of the possible scenarios are already taken. It did recently try to use it as a screen name somewhere and it was already taken.

 

[lagrande]

It is actually my middle name on my birth certificate. My Mom's side had some French "Acadien" (Cajun) background thus the Cajun-French middle name. Believe me it sounds very different when pronounced in Cajun-French than it looks! Yes, it means "The Great". I get a kick out of using it.

 

[cajuncpo]

Born and raised in south-central Louisiana I'm from that part of the state known as Acadiana. As a result, those of us from there are known as Cajuns. So, I'm a Cajun.

While in the U.S. Navy for over 29 years I rose to the rank of Chief Petty Officer. We are the backbone of the Fleet. We make sure things get done, teach, discipline, counsel our junior sailors, etc. Basically, we let the officers fight the ship. It Is our job as Chief to take care of the crew and to run the ship. CPO or just plain Chief are a few of the printable names we are referred to by many. Thus the last part of my screen name - CPO

So, CajunCPO came into use by me.

[slidetuba]

So, I have been playing trombone professionally for about twenty years, and this story has been told for about as long..

One night in college, after a particularly rough Wind Ensemble rehearsal, I was screwing around with a tuba part from the guy next to me.. I then realized that I doubled the tuba part, I exclaimed.. "Ooh, I get to play slidetuba." The name stuck..

 

[zombiekitty]

I made my cat a 'zombie' with an iPhone app. It became the name of my fictitious homebrew company and the first beer I made was a ZombieKitty IPA.  It's kind of stuck on me. It is my handle on Untapped (the beer journal app) as well.  For the record, I only have the one cat. I'm not that crazy cat guy who lives by himself with 100 cats and a sweater made of cat hair.

[unclepopo]

I have been a police officer for 25 years.  All my nieces and nephews have always called me Uncle Tim.  When we started getting great nieces and nephews and they started talking my wife thought it would be funny to call me UnclePoPo.  She kept calling me that until it stuck with them.

[jeepsjeep]

Always loved Jeeps and the outdoors, my first was a 84 cj7,  then had a 73 cj5 road ready but also mud raced it. I also liked the old Popeye cartoons with the Jeepsjeep character.  Had to show my kids an old black and white video of him!!!!

[aintnothin]

Lot of good names and stories behind them. Seems like I've joined a forum for every hobby or project I do. The 1st when I started restoring my 68 Karmann Ghia back in 1999. While hunting down parts I'd hit alot of dead ends and got frustrated quite a bit and would always tell myself,"It ain't nothing". So I just shortened it up a bit.

 

[munsterfan]

My name is pretty self-explanatory. My husband is from Ireland, 20+ generations from the same community in Co Tipperary, close to Limerick City which is the home of Munster Rugby. He's passionate about the Munster team and will even watch the under-five's if they're playing.

 

[beastro]

My name comes from a new type of grill-smoker-brick oven I designed. My picture is of the incomplete ULTIMATE BEAST-RO

It is a brick oven, pellet smoker and wood fired grill. In brick oven mode it hits 1,000-1,200 degrees, electric heat for smoking at low temp. Just filled paper work with my patent attorney on Tuseday.
