What's in a name?

[Snattlerake]

How did you come up with your screen name? How long have you had it? Nickname? Assigned to you like a fighter pilot by your buddies? I wanna know.

I'll go first. My "Snattlerake" is a play in words I came up with back in the 70's for a CB handle. Everyone at that time had such cool handles. All the ones I could think of were already taken or I didn't really like them. I helped drive the cattle truck to the OKC Stockyards and no one else had Snattlerake so it worked. I never will forget that one female driver named "Tool Box".

I have no imagination so mine is an abbreviated play on my name.

I have no imagination so mine is an abbreviated play on my name.

Same here.

 

[tRidiot]

Mine is a variation on an old name, adopted the "idiot" portion due to a poor choice of careers. <sigh>

So, let's look at the options.....

*A Used to be a drug runner.

*B 'Excels in most everything'.

*C Was a furniture salesman in a previous life.

*D All the other good names were taken.

Ready, set, go!

 

[DRC458]

I had never even looked at an online forum until a co-worker put me onto this one. I had no idea what to do for a user name. So, I just used my initials and, since I am a big bore rifle freak, 458.

 

[TwoForFlinching]

Got killed, owned, and t-bagged by some dude during my first public match of Halo years ago, so I stole his gamertag.

 

[Mack45]

Mack is from my nickname, last name is Scottish.
45 is my favorite caliber.

NT stands for New Technology. I just added that to what was my domain ID at the time and it stuck. I’ve been a Wintel/Citrix server admin since NT Server 4.0 in 1998 so it makes sense to me anyway.

 

[swampratt]

CB handle given to me when I was about 10.
I was always in the creeks and ponds and came home muddy most days.

On car forums I use my regular name though.
