Mine is too depressingly boring I can't even bring myself to explain it

Researcher PSG

Do I really have to say more?

Mine's an old nickname from grade school, my real name being Amanda. When I joined, there was already an Amanda, so I fell back on the nickname.

Horridly boring, sorry.

A mixture of my first name, my 42ism and my status as an ACE. Again, pretty obvious and again, horridly boring!

I regularly have identity crises, so if I explain my name here now, it may well be inapplicable sometime in the not so distant future...*G*

I inevitably get bored of any pseudonym I adopt, and I have difficulty remembering "who I am" in any given context, so I now go by my real name in most cases. I often spend time coming up with many cool-sounding usernames, but none actually fit me. I should probably start a service, creating usernames for people...
Twinkle was the name of a character in a (now dead) online game I once played long ago. I don't know what inspired it - I was about 12 years old then.
I use NMcCoy because it's short and the capitalization's interesting.

Mine's the pronunciation of my initials D. McK.

A problem sometimes because pervy guys online assume that my name is Dee and that I'm female.... not true!

I live by the seaside and I used to 'winkle pick' when younger. The poor little devils got boiled and smothered in vinegar, so this is a tribute to the memory of all the digested winkles I was responsible for.
Oh, the 67 is to do with my birthday. (no not my age!)

Mine is because I have a redhead and didn't have enough imagination at the moment to think of anything better.

I mean it's because I AM a redhead.

Why Moonglum? I overheard a conversation about a book called "Elric at the end of time", during which I heard talk of a character call Moonglum, Elric's now departed sidekick. I thought it was just such a fantasticly original name that I have taken this name for all my points of presence on the web. Since then I have found other Moonglums all over the place, over 60 in with hotmail addresses. It would seem that Moonglum is anything but original.

Clampflower?!!?? I went to see Motorhead in concert at the Civic Hall in Guildford, Surrey. They were painfully loud! The following day my head was like the bell tower of NotreDame Cathedral. I went to work and got a phone call from a Ms Lamplow. This name with the additions of whistles and bells from the previous night seeped in to my brain as Clampflower, much to the amusement of my colleagues.

Mine - well, Della is a combination of letters from my first and middle names, the latter being Loraine. Cat Woman is partly a tribute to Michelle Pfeiffer in a Batman movie and partly that I just love cats, and had one when I joined h2g2.(I didn't harm her, she was a timeshare cat, and the other people moved.)

Hmmm - my RL surname is Bateson.

That should give you some idea of the misery I had to endure between the ages of (roughly) 13 and 18. Why I thought it made a good h2g2 nickname is a mystery to me, and now I appear to be lumbered with it.

It's a good job, actually, because I am a bit of a w*nker.

I'm a fan of Xena: Warrior Princess, and a park ranger. Some of my co-workers dubbed me the "warrior ranger" years ago, and it seemed like a good user name! My first time around on hootoo, I went by rangerjustice, as Justice is my last name.

Ranger Justice? Sorry, but that sounds like a superhero to me.

B

I want to be a Lusty Wench in training. A Wenchette perhaps

You're already plenty lusty enough for me, m'dear.

B

Being a Lusty Wench is great fun! Being a Lusty wench with a superhero name is even better...I think I need a tv show of my own! I wonder if I'd get to carry a sword...

Why B!


On tonight's episode of "Warrior Ranger - Lusty Wench", Warrior Ranger...Well, she bounces around in leather with a big sword. What more do you need?

I'm fine with that, thank you.
