How did you come up with that screen name?

Mine certainly falls into the obvious category though there is some history/sentimentality behind it.

My dad and I are both Robert (he has passed on). He was Bob so I became Rob. Other than Rob Petrie of Dick VanDyke fame, there weren't many Rob's in my generation. I liked that, it was somewhat unique. Then I started a real job after college and low and behold who do I work with but another Rob. This was somewhat unusual for both of us and to make matters worse both of our last names started with S. To this day, we both call each other "Rob S" when we see each other in the hall /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

MossRoad:

I thought you lived in a wetland area and things were naturally moss covered. /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

<font color="red"> Names like 'Inspector507' are easy but there are some names out there with a letter then a number then a letter then a number, or a few letters and then 4 to 6 numbers.

Ummm Like mine?

Mine came from when I just signed up with AOL. As anyone who has been there knows, it's almost IMPOSSABLE to pick anything. They are all taken. So I went with S1120, my plate number on my motorcycle. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Just when you thought it was safe to go in the water.....
theme song from Jaws...

Just when your having fun, something comes along and PULLS
you in a completely different direction, maybe ruining your day.

Can you relate?

I'll bet you can.

I figured since I was the only Terry in Maryland, TerryinMD it would be..... /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

I applied the KISS principle - for me to remember. /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

Mine comes from a service nick name ... Devil Dog .
I just converted it to a greek mythological( sp ) name . Hence Cerberus . Beats the heck out of some names like Ratdog ,or Frogspit which I use on other forums /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif John

WOW!

Took me awhile to find this thread! /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

My son gave me my name when we still had AOL. He was registering all of us (without us knowing it! /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif), and he added my favorite sport to the first 3 letters of my first name, and then the most frequent comment I make on the golf course!! /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

GRUB · Nov 18, 2003

When I was a child I was always found playing in the dirt, and grew up with the nickname GRUB. Then I grew up. Sort-of .... I think? Now almost 40 I got my first tractor and I can always be found playing in the dirt again. Got to love it!

I have a friend with nickname Grub. He has been Grub for so long that some people don't even know his real name. Some things just stick with you forever.
