How did you come up with your username?

~~h · 26th November 2009, 21:45

~~h.. I know that's looking crazy, but ~ (Tilde) is very special in UNIX, it takes you home. Apparently I wanted ~h but the 3 char limitation took me to ~~h.

PS: My membership was denied not once.. twice.. but thrice.. my name is kind of unique and that was the initial id chosen. In the other two iterations I lost wherever id's I had in mind..

My name is senthil and my first crush name was Injim (

don't tell it me my wife). So I usually search for 'senjim' in all user ID (including my official ID) and added bhp here.

That's best one I've heard so far

I had them as password too, but my school mates often figured out my mail passwords with that name

and I stopped using it for PWs

Well, now you'll also have to keep your wife from viewing team-bhp, for life!!

Well, I always use the user ID santhankrish sicne it is a Reverse Combination of my Name (i.e. Krishna Prasad Santhanam). The beauty of this ID is that it is unique and readily available in all the forums or websites I have registered till date.

Unfortunately My first request using this ID was rejected. Tried creating a request through "Contact us" form to check if it is possible to free this ID. But No Luck!

So I ended up in hunting for a user ID. I am always amazed by the skills depicted in novel for a SPY (even though fictional). Started with my most favourite charector os all times Jason Bourne (from the Bourne Series by Robert Ludlum). To my surprise it was available. Just GRABBED it Gleafully.

That Sums up my ID Story!!

. She's not a crazy lover of car like me, i'm sure she'll never look into team-bhp even by accident.

I was wildsdi which is a combination of wildthing and SDI which are my initials. Unfortunately as my membership was rejected and you are not allowed to use the same ID again, I added my reg no to it.
Am wildsdi on other forums.

My all time favourite color is Red and I am crazy about Ferraris since highschool days. Well then what captures all my fascinations more than "Testarossa" the Red Head.Not a great fan of redheads on two legs though ;-)
