Why'd you pick your moniker? (plus, I get to use the word moniker)

[stitics]

I was just perusing the forums on this fine site, and I re-stumbled (is that a word) upon this thread about avatar choice.

This caused me to begin to wonder...

What does your screen name mean, and what led you to choose it?

Since I thought this up (and couldn't find another thread that already covered it, even though one may exist) I'll start (and I hope you all don't think it's too pitiful)...

stitics was something I came up with after a fair amount of thought into what would be a cool domain name that also meant something. And then, since it had a decent ring to it, it became my default screen name.

A lot of REALLY stupid ideas were rejected, and one that I feel is quite a bit less stupid was kept, and if I ever learn anything about decent web page design and programming, it should amount to what I hope will be the next Google, or an early Yahoo, or even a PPCT:

STITICS = Stuff That I Think Is Cool Stuff

How geeky is that?

[TopDog]

Mine is quite simple... I'm the webmaster and creator of www.topdogs.no so I am the TopDog 0X

[darrylb]

Mine is even simpler. My name is Darryl and my surname initial is B.

lame eh? ops:

[wocket]

My screen name came from a book I was reading at the time :wink: called "There's a Wocket in my Pocket" by Dr Seuss. One of the finest childrens writers of all time.

[blazingwolf]

I am a firefighter and I really like wolves.

[MLO]

MLO: Mona Lisa Overdrive.

I'm a big William Gibson fan.

[trachy]

The beauty of having an obscure surname is that it's almost always available for use. The beauty of being a geek is that I usually snatch it up before other family members. :-)

[Reinaldo]

Mine is very simple. Reinaldo= my name. I did this after I lost track of the number of 1s and 0s on 37 lost screenames. I also realized that since the name Reinaldo is not common, I could almost always count on it being available for me to use on any forum.

[Janak Parekh]

Kati already did a thread on this subject.

[piperpilot]

I am a private pilot and the plane I fly is a Piper (a 1985 Piper Cherokee Warrior II, to be specific). Hence the name Piperpilot.
