I used to run a company called "diffsoft" that shut down about 4 years ago. I found that this username is usually available for any registration - so all my registrations have username diffsoft - makes it easy to remember.

Cheers,

my user name came from my nameclap:lol:

Initially i had different name for all my mail ID then due to memory issues I had named all my mail ID as mail4loys (yahoo, hotmail, gmail etc). at some point i extened the same to all account that i hold as mail4loys and the same contimued here :-)

Mine is straight forward - first name + last name - Wonder why I kept it simple?

But then I tried a little creativity with the tagline !! :)


RD

Car and the reg No. :)

First 3 letters of my first name + First 3 letters of my last name.

hey mods, where is the one I posted earlier ??? anyways here it's again..
King(Raja tht's my first name and in my native lang. tamil meaning king :)) and Shan(tht's4 letters from my last name Shanin, now you guys know what's my full name.. cool..)

Star Wars inspired. May the force be with you... :)

my name is joshua samson, so joshuasam.... and 400 is Brian Lara top score in Test cricket.
Thats how i came up with joshuasam400

The first sports car I was inspired and came across was Dodge Viper SRT, Its 8 liter engine and the capacity to beat a F-16 in the close race made it my dream car. I know now that there better ones but its my first love.

Combined my name (Simon Peter) and my wife's (Kayarvizhy) and landed up with simonkayar. We even have www.simonkayar.com registered and running

Got a chance to check out the red Flying Spur in Mumbai owned by RNA soon after the owner got it. An acquaintance of my father. Fell in love with the car and has been my favourite since, atleast from the RR-MM-Bentley circle. Thus, flyingspur.

Wow. Very fancy name, very fancy circles, Sir.

the handle i use is a yiddish word which means connoisseur in english. also because most people i know say i accumulate and am fond of finer things in life :)

I use this username when I join new forums whose privacy rules are not fully known to me. The email associated with this username is derived from the fact that it "attracts" all junk/spam email. This is the username and email combination that I hand out to all tom, dick, and harry, who wish to write to me. This protects my "real" emails from being swamped with spam. :)

Anyways, it also happens to be (mostly) unique.
