How did you come up with your user name?

    Forgive me if this has been posted before, but I don't recall seeing one of these threads.

    A lot of us have interesting user names here at DP, so please, enlighten us on how you chose your user name (and yes, I realize some of us have names that are our real names).

    For me, it's actually Infinite R.B. (not Infini-Terb). Infinite was the name of the first album done by Eminem and the R.B are my initials. I chose to put the RB at the end simply because some forums I post at already had someone with the name Infinite, so instead of coming up with a new name I just put the rb at the end.

    Honestly.. i needed to post something quickly way back on seochat and they didnt allow anonynmous users.. so i signed up with the first name i could think of (that wasn't taken) just as a junk name, with my junk email address thinking i'd only use it once and then never come back.

    I ended up keeping the membership.. and name just stuck. it has no real meaning to me at all..

    When I was 15 years old I worked at a pizza shop after school and I would work the "cut table" as they came out of the oven. I have always been a huge fan of rap music so people always used to say SHOEMONEY ON THE CUT (cut table). Anyway thats how it started

    I used a complicated formula to devise mine. It works like this: I took my first name and then added my last initial, then I... wait thats it :)

    Back in 2000 when I joined a Webmaster board for the first time I was a Nintendo freak and the only sites I had were Nintendo sites. It's been almost a month since I've even played a Nintendo game. :D

    As for how I got the name Ninno, I'll never know. I think sitetutor made it up. :D

    I think I picked my username not thinking that I would be here at DP for more than a few minutes.

    I've been using lorien online since I started mudding in college. I just stuck the 1973 at the end when 6 characters wasn't enough for a username. Now I'm just too lazy to learn to type something else quickly LOL

    It's my parents fault. They named me Mikel Beck. I just changed the case of the capital letters and took out the space.

    I picked Mine as orginaly it was DogBones (I don't know why I thought of this)... then after being randomly insulted all the time and being called DogBoner I was going to change my name, but before hand I needed to get a bath, and I was running out of Soap.

    I've always wondered.

    Don't worry, we wont laugh at you. Well we will but you wont even hear us.

    And is that you in your avatar? And if it is you, is that your real hair?
