How did you come up with your username?

gostel · 5th August 2009, 08:00

On the spur of the moment of registeration I just couldn't think of something quirky or funny or pretentious; so fumbled and folded the slogan of my ride (lets go) to gostel as my userid. Saving grace is that my ride is going without a fumble (Jio Maruti paaji).

Like to be a cool cloud while driving, without interrupting anyone else's way even at speeds...

ambivalent_98 · 6th August 2009, 15:58

I have this userID "ambivalent" since a long time. Actually when I opened my first e-mail account with Yahoo in 1998 I was thinking of a unique name. I took a pick from the Times of India lying close to me. Much like the surname "Mrs. Doubtfire"

... So I have an e-mail ID by that name....and also much like the word itself I have two opinions about something

one good and one bad......ambivalent

IQBAL VEERJI · 6th August 2009, 21:52

My full name is IQBAL SINGH MANKOO and VEERJI in our sikh community we refer to brother and over and above I have got two friends who are very very close to me and address me by IQBAL VEERJI (Iqbal brother),thus the username came to my mind.,also if any other team member replies to me by my username I get respect as well as affection from them.

Gansan · 6th August 2009, 22:13

My name is Krishnamurthy Ganesan. Many years ago when I opened a yahoo mail account, I tried various combinations of my name to create a user name. All seemed to be already taken so I finally tried Gansan and it clicked. Best of all, it tickled me no end when people in chat rooms assumed I was Japanese! This has been my user name ever since, in whatever fora I joined.

atilla · 6th August 2009, 22:44

While I was spending the better part of my day while playing "Age of Empires", I got fascinated with the Atilla Expeditions in that game; played it for innumerable number of times and down the line started using this id as my game id. Though the game weared off slowly, the id kind of stuck with me; for other games to follow and hence this id!

humans · 7th August 2009, 13:24

Human Systems was the company I and friend tried to start way back in 1997-98. Company doesn't came into existance but user id tagged along since with me on every site and forum.

KITE RUNNER · 15th September 2009, 11:47

Kite Runner is a wonderful book and now a good movie.
I still remember my childhood days of making kites with bamboo sticks & color paper and flying them, well never had done kite running, most of my kites ended on tree tops.

ikoneer · 15th September 2009, 12:37

I had an Ikon for many years and hence the name 'Ikoneer'.

Sha09mel · 15th September 2009, 20:22

I very well remember the auspicious Ganesh Visarjan day on the 09-09-03 when I held my son for the first time at hospital. Things have changed for the better in my life that's why most of my e-id has Sha09mel. Shamel is my son's name & 09 is his birth date.

supercars · 15th September 2009, 23:49

I always loved Supercars as when I was much younger I spent all my time looking at Specifications and Photos of Supercars.
I became older to be One of the Best Drivers in the World so I named myself SUPERCARS.
