Explain Your Username

[schmism]

the first company i worked for assigned network log in names based on first 5 of last name, first then middle initial.

easy for me to remember and (so far) 100% of the time its available to use on some forum/website when i sign up.

wroughtn harv came about like most of my ideas. One day it just appeared and I liked it so much that I adopted it.

No exciting story to tell. When I signed up I used my first name and three letters of my last name. Jay Stewart. Boring, I know. What can I say?

 

[keyser soze]

I thought I could best explain mine by using the wikipedia entry for which my username/handle is derived from. Obviously without the umlauts (two dots over the o).

"Keyser Söze (pronounced /ˈkaɪzər ˈsoʊzeɪ/ KYE-zər SOH-zay) is a fictional character in the 1995 film The Usual Suspects. Söze is an underworld kingpin whose ruthlessness and influence have acquired a legendary, and even mythical, status among law enforcement agents and criminals alike."

This is one of my favorite movies of all time, so I chose this name, and use it on most forums that I am on. It always seems to be available.

[JC-jetro]

Well, I'll bring up the caboose

I'm a city slicker farmer wannabe, gentleman that is!! One of the shows I really enjoyed while I was in college was "Beverly Hilbillies", and my Hero was "jethro bodine Clampett" hands down, who was a country boy, city slicker wannabe. In his honor I picked up "jetro" and combined it with the fact I live in Johnson County, Kansas where all the beautiful people live.

So, I combined them both and picked my handle as "JC-Jetro'

JC,

Well, a brand of potatoe chips I would favour in the sixties was named scotties, hence scottychip.
Really enjoyed the read.

 

[Inspector507]

MY profession is doing building inspections. That's the Inspector part.

I specialize in Electric Inspections. At one time when they assigned computer terminal numbers to all of us, Electric was assigned to the 500 series. Alphabetically, I was #7, hence 507.
SO there you have Inspector507

[Baldyonthehill]

Nothing on top (very little inside the cranium, also) and live on top of a ridge. First thing that came to mind when I signed on.
