This question came up the other day and the answers ranged from super simple to incredibly bizarre.

So tell me: How did you get your name/handle?

Mine came from a long time friend in the music biz named Ron "C"
His album in 1995 was titled Raw4Life. I went with that for a while then it just got shortened to raw.

Researching Microsoft Knowledge Bases, product support Information, and reading countless forum posts left me in a fog. (Which occasionly clears, only to settle in again 'bout the time I wake up.)

I was pondering a name and decided to use pondering.

Acronym: Be Strong And Courageous, Joshua 1:7

Got my name from my parents.
Regards,
John

My BOB came up with this name for me! I don't know why just was there nickname for me! It was better than what we called some of the others!

I liked the movie "Dude, wheres my car?"

I got my name because i have 400+ cows on a dairy farm! Makes sense dont it? And belive me the are wild!

Mine's from Tenchi Muyo. I used to always watch it before, but there's no time for TV now, with my computer and all!!

Never herd of Tenchi Muyo?

Quite honestly mine has no relevance at all. I just pikced a random name.

Red head

Redhead... Huh ?

Red head thats name is bluie!? LOl and i didnt think grinlers name was anything but made up. LOL cool name grin!

RedHead tht goes by Bluie Funny Stuff! And Grinler is to cool of a name no matter how he go it. Scarlett.. my Auburn Hair . Plus I love the color red. As if no 1 has guessed by now. Lol

Dang I need new glasses I always thought you were starlett!

OMG ... ... And to think that I thought my sig. was to big!

The names of my 'grand dogs' Riley a wild and crazy Chocolate lab, and Bailey, a beautiful red head - Rottweiler - Rhodesian Ridgeback

I think most of us guessed you liked red or pink! OOOO name from a dog! Cool or C@@L

Well, an interesting thread I missed out on...

I picked my name from a character of one of my favorite authors. I was Pandora first, and at Net-Integration I am still Pandora, but then I shortened it to Pandy. I am known as Pandy-O at another site I go to.

What author?

My name fits my physical size and abundance of hair

LOL

And isn't Grinler someone who grins more than everyone else. Grin-i-er

LOL "abundance of hair" you furry?

Aha Grin~leer (LOL)... I neglected to mention what author. I picked my name from a character from Anne Rice's vampire stories. Pandora is one of her characters that she has written a seperate story for. Some have thought that I got the name Pandora from the myth about Pandora's Box but that is not so. Altho it doesn't bother me if they think so. I've been a big fan fan of Anne Rice's for a long time. Her writing IMHO is very lyrical and just so full of emotions. I think she's great.

I just finished Blackwood Farm and it was great...not the best ending but I liked it overall

I think mine is obvious. I live in Texas, I'm a sweet angel, and I was born in ~67~, .
But being blonde and innocently ignorant, I gotta ask something (after reading the other replies).
Brunt, who or what is a BOB?
Grinler, very cool name!
Phawgg has an awesome name (and great sig, ;) )

~67~

Hey texas dont you like cows? LOL

But, of course! As long as they keep their cowpies to themselves, lol.
I love your name (for real!). Can't be from Texas and not like cows and rodeos. Although I'm not big on rodeos and cattle drives. Too much poop in one place! LOL

~67~

I love a good rodeo! I mean when a bull gets mad and comes after people! Thats cool!

Ah, intelligence on earth...Barcelona! (The running of the bulls)
I like that too, and c'mon, we love violence in this country and esp if someone loses something or just bleeds a lot! Now that's entertainment! lol
P.S. My only thing with your name is I don't feel right calling you 'Cow'.

~67~

Ok here I can be called this I am sometimes! CGM3. Short and sweet. O I do love the running of the bulls"pure entertainment!". And the show cops.

LOL

My favorite show, I gotta watch is "The First 48" and I can never miss "Wildest Police Videos". Not exactly chick flicks eh? lol

~67~

No not really but I think were getting off topic I think I will say it before brunt does this time. Off topic for "how did you get your name". LOL
And for the fun of it im a startrec fan!

Yeah, Brunt I know I am a " Brat " but what is a BOB ? Does it have something to do w/ the service ? Or am I on the wrong track ?

ya Band Of Brother's. thats right you were a navy Brat. I was as well. Down in Jacksonvile.

I can vouch for that I have seen his pic. LOL. No offense Bear

I was on the right track. I just knew it.

Wow brunt what is that avatar? LOL creepy

of the face on the wall. If you ever seen Pink Floyd The Wall.

Mine is my company's name. Yeah, kinda cheesy, and borderline free advertising, but most problems are fixed from this site anyway.

My other handle has a very different meaning though

Nope never seen pink floid. Im kinda a new movie person. I see the ones in the theatures and the ones at people houses no later than the 1990's hoepfully. The80's seem kinda broing I dont know.......... I thought it was a face coming out of the ground!

I did too, CGM3. My first thought was of "Mummy", the movie where the sand forms that face. brunt has had a few nice ones he's been showing the past couple of days .

~67~

Happy Anniversary to me - My one week here at BC! Yeah! lol

Yeah the mummy me too I though of the face! LOL

I am a redhead, and got my name when I met a biker, I was sunburnt and he called me Lobster, it stuck I started collecting all kinds of stuffed lobsters, clothing with lobsters, ect
the J is for my name.

i wondered if this thread was ever gonna get back to "how did you get your name"...lol

MANY years ago, my hubby bought me a keychain that said :damn, i'm good" as a joke...then about 12 years ago i started playing live trivia on satellite..and it only allowed 6 characters...thus "damgud" was born...and has stuck. it has actually amazed me that no one else uses it...then, for "other than very personal uses" i created a secondary e-mail acct...and i live in new mexico..so, nmdamgud...but the nickname i answer to is damgud.
