Your Forum Name..How did you come up with it!!!

[Newsman]

Simple... Retired Newsagent.

[Boesman]

I have a fondness to some of our local native bushman. We call them Boesman (same as bushman, just Afrikaans).

They are known for being good at hunting, tracking and surviving in the harshest South Africa has to offer.


If you have them on your farm, then you are very lucky. They will care for your farm as if it was their own. Good people.

[Smithy2]

Hard to beleive but the very rare name "Smithy" was already taken.....and there's 2 of us using the site. Genius

[Thetribe]

I have 6 kids what other name would i use lol.?

@ Smithy2 better make that 3 of use

[jclures]

Are those Smithys breading, must be like rabbits.

[gacoxd]

Mine is a hangover from the days when I was a CICS COBOL DB2  (has your head exploded yet?) with BHP.  The G meant Queensland (?), the A meant Coal (double?) and the rest is the first 3 chars of my surname ( which is Cox so there are only three anyway) and my first initial D for Damian. it's convoluted but it's 20 years old now and it is never taken.

my wife worked for them too and hers is WQUYTH. 100 points if you know what the first two chars mean :-)

Damo

[The Nats]

The surname is Natoli.

As a teen it was Nat.

When I started at the fire station it was Natman (1989 & the 1st Batman movie had just released).

Now with the wife & family it's The Nats.



Cheers,
Paul & Helen

[carinya]

From an indigenous word for wild horse.

Oddly enough not a pet name from the minister, but relating to a sport I used to do.

[Squalo]

I have a separate forum name for motorcycle forums I am on (dates back to 1998). When I joined my first car-related forum I was obsessed with a motorcycle called the Squalo (made in WA by Vee Two, uses Ducati engines) and here we are - I use it on four car-related forums now.

Squalo is Italian for shark.

[skog]

nothing technical, just the first letter from our names 

[Stormchaser]

My name was borrowed from a tv show on Austar.
I particpate in a few forums and for the life of me when I first started using them I couldn't think of a name to use then magically thru the fog the show "Stormchasers" appeared on the screen sweet!! That'll do and has stuck ever since.

[Top.ender]

You got off lightly, one of my teachers last name was Tickle....So he used to get called "Tess"...........Tickle

[Mallory Black]

Mine is made of 2 nicknames. Mallory started as Mal as in Mike & Mal.
When I was riding enduro bikes my mate would say "So where are we going to day Mal?" and I'd say "Well Mike, we're going to climb Honda Hill and then over to the crossing etc etc" that was the day's course and off we'd go racing for sheepstations along the way.
Someone else thought that Mallory would be better and that stuck.
Black was the other, my mate would order Pizza as Mr White and I would order as Mr Black because while my name is 100% Anglo it was amazing how many times people would stuff it up and call out some other name.

As it turns out there really is a Mallory Black  out there (some chick in the US) but I was first with it in the cyber world so I'm keeping it!

[Cam and Deb]

Cam

[grizzly]

Mine is my Scout name as given by the little darlings about 10yrs ago and for those that remember an old TV show( 80's I think) about a man and his bear,I share his surname, it may also relate to my disposition if I do not get enough sleep, which is where Iam off to now Good night all
