Err, my Username i randomly picked when i was 10, I had a habit of respawning in games and seeking revenge via serious ass whooping.
My previous nicknames were 'Commander X' and 'Commander Solo (from many years spent playing the original X-Wing!!!)
obviously these sounded lame
so Phoenix was born
however it was originally spelt Pheonix due to some git already having it on ircnet, after a few years of getting fed up of people telling me I couldnt spell i changed it back, but the shorthand 'Pheo' has stuck (pronounced Fee-o)

so everyone calls me pheo now, even got called it by a teacher at school once!

Mine is pretty sad really. When I started CF i didn't have a handle I always used my name so I has Si from Simon and For from forum. Simon's Forum = SimonV

I didn't think that CF would grow to what it has and have many times thought about changing it to something better but its grown on me now.

 

No worries, Si. The handle "SimonV" is now a legend.

 

Yeah, but for what reasons Trip?

 

Mines basicly cause I'm a punk (Mohican, leather jacket, patches and buttons kind, not some blink182 wanabe). Wasn't sure on a handle, but i thought there wer too many punker121, punkers123, punx, ect to make mine standout, so punkboy sounded ok, and I also alway's add 101 to the end of usernames for no perticullar reason.

Mines a no brainer really, Phil is my name

errrrrr Ryan, that all looks a bit too convincing

 

That's evil.

 

My name Greebo, is a cat with attitude in Terry Pratchett's Disc World Books
My favourite character in the books is Death, but didn't pick that coz that would have scared peeps and made them think I was some sort of loonatic

 

Wahey! speaking of which I'm off to the Discworld convention this weekend (sad pratchett fan alert) ..... don't go changing the address while I'm gone, I'll find you all again anyway

Oh, and my username is just my real world name - no imagination required

 

you told us already mate

 

oops, forgot I'd replied to this post. Oh well, doesent hurt to let people know youre still here

 

Mine came from being a Star Trek fan (I know how sad), however I dont go to conventions etc, I just like to watch the show. I did try a couple of variations of DATA but there seem to be a few out there. I discovered recently that the show creators spell nelixwith a double 'ee'

 

I thought we did this one already. My handle comes from two sources and there's a story. I was about to create a Yahoo email account and needed an alternate name...plus I wanted something that sounded kind of butch. I had read a BOFH story at The Register that referenced him using an Ethernet cable as a tripwire to keep people out of his "lair". At about the same time, a free poster on common network vulnerabilities I'd ordered from www.tripwire.com had arrived. Well, I tried entering [email protected] but it was already taken. They recommended using a number so since RJ45 connectors go with ethernet cables, "tripwire45" was born. Ta da!

 

Trip we have done this already...this will be your second post in the same thread...

 

Well, don't I just bump into you everywhere ;)

I wonder if you can guess the origin of my username?

*runs back to the hole he just crawled out of*

 

Man, I hate being middle aged.
