I am one of the few ppl who use their full names as user name. Rajesh Sundaram K is my full name.

Tried a lot of combinations when joining TBHP, but none worked out.. so ended up with rajeshsundaram, which happens to by my official id as well!

My username = My Name + DOB

If Brad Pitt, Harrison Ford and the IRA turmoil weren't enough, the pun around the 2 words sealed the deal.

Besides that, my usual handle for online forums was already taken by someone else.

Came up with my username almost a decade ago when I was looking around for a username to sign up for an account. I was looking around the room and my immediate surroundings for inspiration, and flipped my mouse over, and I found the word 'Teknic'. Added the first four letter of my name, and voila my username was born. Been using it ever since. Most people mistake it for being related to technology but I wasn't really thinking about it when I choose the name.

I own a bullet 350, have always had a dream of owning an RD 350 and therefore "350biker"

Oh! Well come to think of it now really do not know. Had just got my Swift DDIS so the name + dunk from Basket ball since Magic Johnson was my fav for the slamdunk shot,hence the name Dieseldunk. My other online handle names were all used up.

This was inspired by Xander Cage from the movie XXX. Also, my name is Alexander. So it's part of my name as well.

gtonsing · 13th May 2011, 11:09

My name is George Tonsing. K.I.S.S (Keep It Sweet and Simple) = gtonsing

the-rare-one · 24th May 2011, 17:07

It was not very difficult after hanging around TBHP for couple of years before signing up to come up with the username I have.

I drive a ride which is rare and so its the-rare-one.

Details ? Look at my signature !

salbin · 24th May 2011, 18:07

Mine is very simple

salbin is my name.
I am lucky to get my name as the TeamBHP user name.

A M · 24th May 2011, 18:24

Derived it from my name -- Akhil Malhotra
and my favourite car manufacturer -- Aston Martin

Pri2 · 24th May 2011, 19:13

My name is Preetham, my family and friends call me Preetu hence Pri2

MadTiger · 24th May 2011, 19:24

I saw this user name on some online forum and I really liked it. I was lucky it was available on team-bhp

I was having a Soft drink during my 4th attempt at TBhp membership! 'Contains added flavor' was too long for an id! So Added_flavor it is!
