Title: Re: How did you come up with your screen name Post by: Mike Christ on April 22, 2013, 03:47:48 AM Mike Christ is short for Mikalai Christensen
Snapsunny was this weird little thing where I was Snap, another friend was Crackle, and a third was Pop. For some reason, I thought it appropriate to mix it with "Sunny", a nickname I'd gone by when I was younger.

"When all the wonders of the world are gone, razed and destroyed, There will be no time to ask why it all came to this" I like it because it's simple and usually not taken already :) Title: Re: How did you come up with your screen name Post by: bobbahope on April 22, 2013, 04:47:00 AM I have no idea... ???

I kept generating one till I found one I liked. Did this about a year ago.
I'm using it everywhere I go nowadays because I'm tired of coming up with cute yet forgettable user names. Also grew tired of people making invalid political/gender assumptions simply based upon the gramercy/spelling of some permanent username I came up with in an altered state. Title: Re: How did you come up with your screen name Post by: mallardknundrum on April 22, 2013, 05:54:04 AM Mine comes from an old episode of Celebrity Jeopardy on Saturday Night Live. Sean Connery says to Trebek "I've pose a conundrum to ya, or a riddle if you will. Whats the difference between you and a mallard with a cold? Ones a sick duck, I cant remember how it ends but your mothers a ________." So I changed the spelling of conundrum to knundrum and put mallard in front. mallardknundrum. I've never found a site where that user name has already been taken.
Here is a link to the video if you want to see it. It starts at 1:30. Its super low quality, but it doesnt make it any less funny. http://www.ebaumsworld.com/video/watch/14938/ Title: Re: How did you come up with your screen name Post by: Balthozar on April 22, 2013, 06:38:40 AM Mine comes from a time when I had a kitten, and my buddy Joe kept calling him "Balthozar the destroyer of worlds" There is no relation to Balthazar though, I learnt that reference after the fact. So yea... lol
Title: Re: How did you come up with your screen name Post by: FinShaggy on April 22, 2013, 06:50:42 AM I came up with mine because in jail, Mexican's that couldn't speak English called me Shaggy. Then when I lived in California for a little while there were some girls that called us "The Texas Hippies" and they called me Shaggy.
And Fin I got from Adventure Time, because there is not enough adventure in the world, and that show is teaching some good stuff about shit, and more cartoons should. Most of it is just dribble, like Almost Naked Animals, seriously? And when I was younger I always had the Screen name "First name" Fuckin "Last name" and it worked because my last name starts with a G, so Fin is just kinda the same as always, F'in. Title: Re: How did you come up with your screen name Post by: FinShaggy on April 22, 2013, 06:52:48 AM Mine comes from a time when I had a kitten, and my buddy Joe kept calling him "Balthozar the destroyer of worlds" There is no relation to Balthazar though, I learnt that reference after the fact. So yea... lol One time we had a dog (in East Texas when I ran away) and we named it "Skuttles the Death Dealer". Title: Re: How did you come up with your screen name Post by: bengx on April 22, 2013, 06:54:29 AM Mine's a combination of my first name and the initials of my last name lol. Guess what's my first name? :P

Title: Re: How did you come up with your screen name Post by: UltimateReaper on April 22, 2013, 07:47:38 AM I chose mine based on my long since self chosen nickname: "Reaper"
The above is attached to this alias, which I've had for a number of years now. In an effort to be unique I attached the "Ultimate" and it's pretty untaken as far as nicknames go. I like names, and see them as having a lot of value. It's also not random, doesn't have lots of pointless numbers, and has meaning. I use it quite often, so it's like second nature to me. Title: Re: How did you come up with your screen name Post by: rayflammerex on April 22, 2013, 07:57:39 AM It's my name, and I love flamethrower ;D Hey buddy, I have a flame in my name too! Ha.

"Was a whim"... Thus, "Is A Whim", and because that journey was on a 50cc scooter, driving across half the US... I knew people would see me, and notice me in my "rig"... so, it is also "I Saw Him"... Thus... I saw him, is a whim! And it continues!

Title: Re: How did you come up with your screen name Post by: kochmann799 on April 22, 2013, 03:51:50 PM The nick originally came from one of the fake accounts I made on google for spam mail. To come up with names I looked up lists of the most common names in various countries. Kochmann is a typical surname in germany and I wrote that Mr. Kochmann was "born" in 1979. This is a shortened version of what google came up with.

My name also doubles as a reference to the upheaval of society by automation, and the eventual struggle surrounding the rights of machines in an era of Strong A.I.
