[DMacC]

I chose mine as DMacC, because im not creative enough or have the patience of trying other names, all started back when i was making my first hotmail account, seemed like every name i chose some other guy/girl had already picked it. DMac was used too, so i tried DMacC, and what do you know it works. So, that's the nickname i use everywhere now, haven't had any problems for years.

[Sheesh]

I play ALOT of online video games. I was looking for a unique ID and, while playing one day after fragging (Socom II) a dude, someone said, "Sheesh, not again!". I thought it unique and it became my user ID.

And, no. It is NOT a drug reference

Another interesting story behind the name. Let's hear some more.

[D-Law]

Mine is not too creative. Like KHarmon, I too am a law enforcement officer (Deputy actually). When I first got a yahoo account, I tried "johnnylaw", but it was taken. So I made it johnnydlaw (johnny "the" law).

I'm also a video game nut, so I shortened the name to D-Law for my screen name and i've used it ever since.

[gglwebster]

Another interesting story behind the name.  Let's hear some more.

-Bob

I usually go with PooPHeaDFreD. I've been using that since '96 when I first got onto the internet. It progressed from poop to XPooPFaceX to finally, PooPHeaDFreD. I didn't use it on here because I use gglwebster when I want to be taken seriously, as with trading... (hopefully soon!) gglwebster is my name, Geoffrey George Luther Webster. No unique story behind that, it's just long.

[FlyersFan27]

I think mine is pretty easy Flyers Fan.. 27 Is for Ron Hextall.. Greatest goalie I had the joy to watch play.

[bob_TCC]

Thanks for the new stories! It's always good to learn a little more about members.

[Bondsaway]

Mine too is pretty simple I collect Bonds I heard an announcer once say after bonds knocked one in the bay "Bombs away" so I combined the two.
for his monster shots!
Bob this is the best thread on any site, its cool to find out what some of this sn mean or how people came to have them! SWEET

[mrmopar]

mrmopar...A name I sort of stole from someone on Beckett about 7-8 years ago. I have used in anywhere I could as an ID online, from ebay to chat boards ever since.

I dealt with the "original" mrmopar on beckett. I have always been a fan of Chrysler Muscle cars of the 60s and liked the name. He told me it was his fathers ID, who happened to be an editor for a major Mopar magazine at the time. Anyway, shortly thereafter I joined ebay and used it for the first time as my ebay ID. I stopped using beckett for a while and forgot about him.

I wandered back to beckett after a long absence. Discovering ebay in the late 90s would do that to you!! I decided to change my original beckett name and mrmopar was now available (I guess the original left or was booted???). I took it there as well. Now, like I said, I use it wherever it's still available online.

NOTE: Obviously "mrmopar" will not always be me online...there are several places it was no longer available!!

[bob_TCC]

Thanks for a couple more stories behind the names. I agree with Bondsaway. These are always fun to read!

[shortstop_10]

Well in high school I played shortstop and my # was 10 so thats were I got shortstop_10.

[Bondsaway]

Cool, thanks for adding to the fun!

[dd316]

My story's really stupid, but since you asked...

When I first got on the net back in 1996 or so (in high school) I used to frequent wrestling chatrooms, and I would always sign in as ddt, after the wrestling move of the same name. One time somebody else was already signed in as that, so I signed in as dd2. Then another time when somebody already was signed in as THAT one as well, I changed the number to 316, part of the angle used in the feud between Stone Cold and Jake the Snake at the time (the whole "Austin 3:16" thing), so I ended up being dd316, and that's what I've used ever since.

[Bondsaway]

That wasn't stupid, but excellent story on how it came to be! thanks for sharing! Anyone else? This is fun
