How did you come up with your username?

docjoe · 3rd October 2010, 18:55

My surname is Joshi. While at the Indian Military Academy, my colleagues were amused with my techie kind of language, the books I read on military tech and the like and so they nicknamed me docjoe for Doctor Joe. Quite prosaic but in their eyes, apt...

For me it was pretty simple - its my birthday

Leap year 29 Feb.

vikrut · 14th October 2010, 21:27

because I am (more than a) little vikrut

lazybrain · 15th October 2010, 00:56

I am 6 feet tall and overweight which makes not only my body lazy but also my brain - hence lazybrain

When I came to know about T-BHP and wanted to become a member, I coined some whacky username, but I could not get "admitted" in the first time.
For the second time, I decided in a hurry to try again and sitting in front of the computer, I had to quickly think !
I could only come up something that relates to my new car and though that anyway I will get some more "chances" with T-BHP.
But "unfortunately" my membership was approved and got struck with an unexciting username.
Moderators, would you please give me another chance for changing my username ?

I'm the 48th A. Gupta at Arizona State. So it stuck with me. I use it on other forums like Ferrarichat, but I changed it up to 627 (6=June 27, my birthday) on Flickr

PaddleShifter · 18th October 2010, 07:17

I'm a big fan of the mighty Honda Accord. I love it every time I see one on road. Hence the username "PaddleShifter".

shk 8896 · 18th October 2010, 10:49

Shk 8896 means Sreehari Krishnan .8896 because I was born on 08/08/1996 which means I am just 14 years old

Chik18 · 18th October 2010, 10:52

Am from Chikmagalur (Chickmangalore) and the registration no for the same district is 18. Hence Chik18.

Cam On - means Thank u in Vietnamese.

Since presently I'm in Vietnam, I have to thank the Team Bhp Mods for approving my request for grooming in this auto world in vietnamese style.

Regards,
Rajesh

my initials - AV - in ICAO spelling alphabet (a=alpha; b=bravo; c=charlie; d=delta & so on...)

Turbopackman · 20th November 2010, 06:59

Interesting thread! I came up with mine because a long time ago I was building a turbocharged Packard 327 straight eight, hence "Turbo Packard Man". The name fits pretty well I think.
