Why is your username your username?

**iacovone** · 12-01-2008 14:55

Simple really...

Mine is iacovone because of a Taranto file I had on FM07. Their stadium was the Erasmo Iacovone.

**markcator3006** · 12-01-2008 14:58

markcator - name
3006 - 30th June, day I was born. missed out 86 at the end though

**Klimowicz** · 12-01-2008 14:59

mine because of a CM 00-01 argentinian AMC legend.

**dafuge** · 12-01-2008 15:00

Mine was a university nickname, which seems to be pretty unique. Well, apart from that other user called Dafuge . but I'm not sure if that really counts.

I remember Diego Klimowicz well. Had a good file with him at Wolfsburg not too long ago.

**GillsMan** · 12-01-2008 15:24

As a Gillingham fan, and someone who happens to be a man, it was quite easy to come up with mine.

**aaberdeenn** · 12-01-2008 15:39

My hometown club with a couple of extra letters.

**Ched** · 12-01-2008 15:43

first four letters of my surname

**B. Stinson** · 12-01-2008 15:47

Mine was actually a mistake.

When I signed up I thought the 'login name' would be the login name which doubles as our forum name, like most message boards. Then I of course thought that the 'display name' would be our real name displayed in our profiles or something. So, I went ahead and picked a nickname and filled out the rest of the registration.

...only to post my first message and realize the 'display name' is actually the board user name. So I tried to re-register to correct this horrible mistake, but I only got one post under the new name before it was deactivated by SI.

So, I've been stuck with this name since then.

**Frankie 7** · 12-01-2008 15:49

Mines is pretty simple.

Frankie 7

My name and number 7 (Henrik Larrson & Jinky Jonhstone) Two of Celtic's greatest Players or Number 7's.

**andyinuk** · 12-01-2008 15:52

**Mike7077** · 12-01-2008 15:54

Mike, obviously, is my name. 7077 are just random numbers that I always incorporate into my various usernames and profiles out there in cyberspace.

**yorlig** · 12-01-2008 15:59

surname backwards

**VonBlade** · 12-01-2008 16:04

As a tribute to the second greatest hero the world has ever seen, Manfred von Richtofen. Although how it ended up in it's current state is more complex.

**starvin marvin** · 12-01-2008 16:23

I'm a hungry Ethiopian.

**Kain** · 12-01-2008 16:52

Kain Kahn was a name I came up with when I was 15/16 and first got the internet. I can't quite remember exactly why, but its possible Kahn is either influenced by the German goalkeeper or a misspelling of Genghis Khan. Kain, I'm assuming, is from the Bible, but deliberately misspelt.

**lovingthegreen** · 12-01-2008 21:10

The fact that I love the green grass that football is played on, as well as the teams Celtic and Plymouth Argyle.

**warkill** · 12-01-2008 21:16

I tried a lot of login ID only to realise that they have been taken so I just type in my personal nickname

**Omnislash** · 12-01-2008 21:19

mine is from FF7, nuff said

**Amaroq** · 12-01-2008 22:45

Mine's a somewhat obscure wolf reference, which I've been using as an internet moniker for .. seventeen years now.

**Shifty Gypsy** · 12-01-2008 23:05

Mine because it's true.

**Powermonger** · 12-01-2008 23:16

Mine is from my all time favourite game from the Amiga developed by Bullfrog. Many games have come and gone but Powermonger still holds a special place in gaming history for me.

tru tru.

My name is easy to work out champ (because when i signed up to these forums it was CM we were all lovin before the change to FM) and Lodge simply because my name is Adam Lodge.

So its not me saying i am the champion of the world! lol.

**Bluenose_92** · 13-01-2008 01:06

I'm an Everton Fan who just happened to be born in 1992

**JawKam** · 13-01-2008 02:34

just a random nickname for me

**heathxxx** · 13-01-2008 02:37

My name + xxx as I think my name was already in use by an earlier account I had, yet lost the username & passwords for.

xxx because I could'nt think of anything better to add at the time

**emgergo** · 13-01-2008 02:59

My first name is Gergely, but I'm always called GergÅ‘. My surname begins with an "M", so phonetically it's "em". We write our surnames first in Hungary.

So "em" (from M...) + "gergo" (from GergÅ‘)= emgergo, and I'm using this nick now for about 8 years in differnet fora.

**sergent21** · 13-01-2008 03:11

Mine is because my surname is Sergent and the 21 is something that I have always used as a username number

Its my current age though at the moment so seems quite handy.

**Broadsword** · 13-01-2008 03:13

Mines my old CB radio handle from the early 80's. This was derived from my intrest in history and the Jethro Tull album Broadsword and the Beast.

**Barside** · 13-01-2008 03:13

It's where you'll find me on matchdays at Layer Road.

Might have to think of a new one when we move to Cuckoo Farm though.

**Orestis_7** · 13-01-2008 03:25

Orestis is my name and 7 my lucky number!

**Skat** · 13-01-2008 03:26

Mines a typo, was meant to be Skrat from Ice Age. Just a random name i thought of.

**Gundo** · 13-01-2008 04:33

Mine is just my nickname which I've had since school, it was born out of my Norwegian second name.

**Emmenaar** · 13-01-2008 04:54

Place I was born: Emmen
Place I live: Emmen
Team I support: FC Emmen

You do the math.

**BenArsenal** · 13-01-2008 05:08

**Starr_Man5** · 13-01-2008 05:15

My second name is STARRett, I tried all sorts of variations of my first name with no luck.
After getting annoyed by "This user name is already in use" (Or whatever it says) I just wrote Starr_Man5, worked first time, much to my annoyance.

I don't like my user name.

**mizan** · 13-01-2008 05:21

my name!

**DontCallItSoccer** · 13-01-2008 05:49

Because it's called football.

**droog37** · 13-01-2008 06:09

Mine is two film references. Droog from A Clockwork Orange and 37 from the films of Kevin Smith.

**Ackter** · 13-01-2008 06:18

When turned into Wingdings 3 it becomes a cheat code for one of my favourite games.

**deltablue** · 13-01-2008 06:32

mine is inspired by a japanese show called Super Sentai, where the characters have superhero designations which are a combination of the team name (e.g. 'Boukenger') and colour (so you have BoukenRed, BoukenBlack and so on). The Delta part is made up by me (as part of the name of a superhero team of me and my friends in stories I used to write) and Blue is not only my favourite colour but also the colour of my favourite team, Ipswich. which is a very long way of saying 'my fictional superhero designation'.

**SWaRFeGa** · 13-01-2008 06:46

Smells good. Looks good.

**PoopyPants** · 13-01-2008 07:09

Because its true ;-)

**DiscoStu94** · 13-01-2008 07:09

Mine is because of a play I was in 3/4 years ago. I was Disco Stu from The Simpsons (weird I know). Ever since my friends have called me that for some reason. 94 is because it is the year I was born.

**Tomiscool** · 13-01-2008 07:10

Mi

ne is tomiscool, because my name is tom and i am cool.

**ChezwigÂ©** · 13-01-2008 07:36

**Manumoss** · 13-01-2008 08:11

i support man u and my surname is Moss

**canvey!!** · 13-01-2008 08:56

Named after the legendary Canvey Island, who I managed in FM06 (after getting sacked from Aris), but said in an Essex accent, which a Canvey Island supporter would probably have.

**Ruud Van Nistelrooy 774** · 13-01-2008 09:03

Mine is named after the former Manchester United striker Ruud van Nistlerooy. And 774 because I tried all of the numbers up to and including 773 to no avail

**trekman** · 13-01-2008 11:47

I chose mine for two reasons. Firstly for the last 30 years I have been a serious Star Trek fan and secondly because they probably wouldn't have allowed my original choice Jock Strap . I know that they wouldnt appreciate my odd sense of humour.

**cafe_latte** · 13-01-2008 11:57

<- Cos I like coffee!

**roykela** · 13-01-2008 12:24

My name is from when i created my first e-mail account. The computer coughed up my first name together with the 2 first letters of my second name and surname. That was about 10 yrs ago, and it seems like it's unique. Haven't encountered another user anywhere with that name yet

**littleliam** · 13-01-2008 12:33

Because i am a small person named Liam.

**ptrck** · 13-01-2008 12:52

Ehvan is the name of a character I played/play in some online RPGs, have had the name since about 1999? Wanted something fantasy sounding, was 15...it worked. HSV because they're the family team.

**Chappie.dm** · 13-01-2008 13:36

Because my nickname is chappie and the .dm because I've run a game of D&D for more years than I care to admit!

**chuk** · 13-01-2008 13:37

uk - nationality

**vontasben** · 13-01-2008 14:56

Back on the first Pro Evo when they had the "Classic" teams for Italy, Brazil, etc but couldn't use real names for the players Marco van Basten was called von Tasben. Remove the space and capitalisation and there you have it.

**marcftm** · 13-01-2008 14:59

Marc - My Name
FTM - Sunderland saying "F**k The Mags"

**coelhoXI** · 13-01-2008 19:14

was reading paulo coelho's The Alchemist. XI was a tribute to the little blobs that's lighting up my fm game.

**chopper99** · 14-01-2008 01:15

Because my name is Craig Hopper. Put the first letter of my first name together with my last name and you get the nickname I got throughout school and now have when playing 5-a-side.

The 99 is because I first used this as a name on the internet in 1999.

Pilgrim UK · 14-01-2008 01:28

I used to play a lot of Call of Duty onlione and needed a nick for that. I'd just been reading Slaughterhouse 5, and so chose "Pilgrim" as I wasn't very good at Call of Duty and rarely really knew what was happening on the servers...

When I came to reg here I used Pilgrim for that reason. Then I forgot my login details and ended up changing my email so I had to create a new account, and so I needed to add the "UK" bit.

I am not, have never been, and do not intend to become, a Plymouth fan.

**bod1035** · 14-01-2008 01:33

Bod, because that has been my nickname for the past 20 years . 33 because that is my age, well 34 now.

**bod1035** · 14-01-2008 01:34

sorry got confused with another login. 1035 is just random

**tieio** · 14-01-2008 01:39

My name is Tie, just put my name into the song "Old McDonald had a farm"... It started at a May long weekend camp out over beers and guitars.

**FCJAZZMANAGER** · 14-01-2008 02:01

**Jimbokav1971** · 14-01-2008 02:11

I'm old and boring.

My original name on these forums was Jimbokav71 back in 2003/04(ish), as it was the start of the email address I had. Then I changed ISP's and email addresses and was to stupid to work out how to get SI to send me my sign in info so I re-registered with my new email address Jimbokav1971, (which is a mix of my forename and surname and my year of birth).

Told you I was old and boring (and stupid).

**James.Clench** · 14-01-2008 02:24

Because my name is James Clench

you cant get much simpler than that!!

**Klipdrift** · 14-01-2008 02:45

I like to drink my username with some coke (the beverage, not the powder)

**Corned beef & cabbage** · 14-01-2008 02:53

Inspired by the brilliant House of Pain song 'Danny boy':

"Chop suey don't do me no good, I gotta have corn beef and cabbage
If I wanna manage"(...)

That's all there is to it. A bit weird, but reasonably original if I may say so myself.

**xouman** · 14-01-2008 02:59

xouman comes from showman. A ski teacher called me so watching me skiing, I did in a particular way (I was learning

). Quickly everybody called me showman because that teacher was quite popular. But showman is too common so I changed it to xouman.

**Passer-by** · 14-01-2008 03:03

**Daniel Foster** · 14-01-2008 11:13

rtik = arctic but how i say it,

-1 = 1 because the name might have been taken,

-one = somebody could have take rtik-1,

My mates say I'm cold as ar-tic because i don't say the "c" so i use it as a badly spellled nickname.

**onecockygeezer** · 14-01-2008 12:58

**Tom L** · 15-01-2008 02:03

Tom short for Thomas,L cause my surname starts with one of those.

**Stimps2** · 15-01-2008 02:10

Mine is from a segment on Fantasy Football (ah, the memories!) about Mr Stimpson, the pub owner from Peterborough.

I was about 12 and copied the scene. Stimpson became Stimps and 2 is my footie number.

As simple as that....

**glamdring** · 15-01-2008 02:11

Anyone who knows Tolkein's "The Hobbit" well will know where my username comes from, anyone who doesn't won't care. As far as I recall it is never mentioned in Lord of the Rings, but probably gets a mention in some of those books on the history of Middle Earth that I've never bothered reading.

I guess I ought to re-read The Hobbit since I haven't done for many years so can only just remember that Glamdring, Gandalf's sword, was picked up from the troll's lair.

**Barnzy** · 15-01-2008 02:20
