explain the reasoning for your user name
 

OK I really have to say I hate my user name and wish I could change it. A) I wish I could make it more MAc related. But I did originally have 3 MAc names but they were taken. And I bet people who see my name think I'm like this huge MASH fan. But really I like the show but not all that much. I liked it alot more back in 2001 when I joined. the show was on and I just wrote down Hawkeye thinking it works. But looking back It was a bad decision. I should have tried a few more Mac related names.

Well, I wanted something Stevie related. I wanted to be Firefly but I think that was taken. So I just started thinking and Golden Braid came into mind. I have blond hair and at the time it was in a braid so Golden Braid seemed like a natural choice. I also like that I can use the same name on other boards. :nod:

I like x's for some reason, and "Dreams Unwind" is my favorite lyric in Rhiannon. Add the two together, and you get my screen name :D.

-Kate

Well, I'm a drummer and my name is Deanna..and I just wasn't creative enough with Mac or Stevie related names...everything I tried was taken...so I just used my name and added a drummer at the beginning...lol...I think I had recently purchased a drum set when I joined this board...and was also in a little local band...so I was way into my drumming...

I've since sold the drums (with the hopes that I can buy a better set when I get a real job) and haven't been doing a whole lotta drumming...one day that will change...my anger management issues skyrocketted once I stopped drumming lol..

Anyway..that's the story behind my user name :D

That's a mystery...
 

unto itself...But it fits my personality :laugh:

Obviously I wasn't very creative in choosing my user name...it IS my name and my birthday :o

Well back in the day in the chat rooms my name was golddust. People eventually shortened it and started calling me goldie. I tried to use golddust when I signed up for this board but it was obviously taken already! So I used goldie!! So it's FM related sort of but sort of not. :)

Well, my initials are DG. I would have loved to have had some sort of cool FM related name but all the best ones were already taken and I was just too lazy to strain my brain to think up a new one.

Okay, I'm embarrassed to admit this, but when I saw your screen name, I was thinking dream sun wind....DUH!

Carol

Violet is one of my cats' names...

Carol

Down On Rodeo. Ot's just an unreleased song of Lindsey's which I felt was... meaningful, beautiful, inspiriationally conceived and lovingly crafted.

What's that got to do with me? Absotulely nothing! I just like the song.

Wow, it's weird now. You've made me really question my identity, Hawkeye! :laugh: The Ledge was my first message board etc, so now I use 'downonrodeo' for all other message boards, LJ, etc.

Hi, my name is, what, my name is, who, my name is, chica chica...
 

Well SADLY my favorite FM album was Rumours. Rumours came out in 1977 hence 77Rumours77 Yea I just thought that it would of mad more sence to be 19Rumours77. Oh well :thumbsup:

Since I first saw the "Gypsy" video on MTV during the Summer of 82, I've been completely and hopelessly obsessed with Stevie Nicks, so I decided I was "Nicksed". That didn't look right, so I tried "nixed". I added the two extra Xs for emphasis, and just to be trashy. :angel:

name
 

I use another name at a few diff boards so I didn't want it too different. Anyways I'm a big star wars fan, and my favorite character from the books is Mara Jade (she was the emperors assasin, eventually turned to good and became a jedi...) so thats where the "jade" is from. gypsy is due to the fact that it remains one of my all time fave songs, my first music video memory, and I myself am a bit of a gypsy. Enough info yes? :lol:

Stevie related.. and 2 great songs!

Pip

As I've said before, there are not many clearly male references in Stevie's songs, and The Ledge didn't need one more Highwayman. Besides, I really like Garbo (the song).

- Jake

agreed. Well one GREAT song One GOOD song. Rhiannon is the great one.

This is a common user name I use on Star Wars messageboards. Siri is a character in the Jedi Apprentice book series. I am such a dork. :(

"This is a common user name I use on Star Wars messageboards. Siri is a character in the Jedi Apprentice book series. I am such a dork. "

No your not, but I was wondering how the name was SW related, haven't read that series of books in the SW universe though. Sadly the NJO series is done though:(

I was one of the few people who dissented from the Toad and his cronies over on Mick's board, so I thought this was an apt username. I still have fond memories from that police state, too. I was banned for writing a dirty limmerick about Toad and gldstwmn was banned for typing "Dick Van Dyke." :lol:

Skcin...
 

...is Nicks backwards.


Paula :D

OMG! I've always wondered what was behind your name - never occurred to me it was that! lol thanks!

Well, here is the breakdown:

1) Mac is for Fleetwood Mac

2)Mar is the first three letters of my last name

3) 71 is the year I was born


and this has stuck with me ever since I got on line in 1999, I had to come up with a user name for Webtv and I tried several things which were of course taken and this one came to me in a urgent moment almost out of thin air.

Oh man I never caught on to that :o Clever Paula

I discovered the ledge in '97, it was the first message board I posted on. Needed something simple. It's short for my real name: Marieke. I thought that name would be too difficult for non-Dutch people :p
I use the name everywhere on the internet now, sometimes I add my birthyear, if the name's already taken. People even call me Mari now, because Marieke is a very common name in the Netherlands, and this distinguishes me from my namesakes :D

lol mari I just finally realized what that avatar image is. I thought it was a donkey but I looked closer and realized its the Stevie goat from South Park :lol:

Merf is a nickname for Meredith, given to me by one of my residents during my senior year (I was an RA my last year in college). She also called me "Merfie."

This weekend in Atlanta several people called me Merf the entire time :)

I found my user name in an ancient Babylonian scroll. I really hate all the Stevie-inspired user names you see on the Internet. Enough is enough with all that. Don't those people realize that they're self-parodies? Other people on the Net make fun of all the GypsySaraFluffyDoves.

:lol: :lol: :lol:

LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think the origin of my user name is fairly self-explanatory.

Also, I think the line, "I am a cliffdweller from the old school" is just hilarious. Plus, I LOOOOOOOVE Illume, it's the best Stevie offering on the new album in my opinion.

Dude, you made me gaso so hard I choked!! That is tooooo cool. A Mac AND Star Wars fan. Gotta admit, the world need more of those. :rolleyes:

about 10 years ago, i sold my drums because i moved out of the house....needless to say, an apartment is no place for a drummer. I finally decided to sell them to raise money for a car that i needed to buy. I intended on buying another set but you know what??? 10 years later.....and i'm still at the "real" job....and no drum set!

replace that drumset this instant Deanna! :nod:

My favorite song is Sara. I named my daughter Sara, and she was born in 1998.

Pretty simple.... ;)

This is VILLAVIC
 

Cool thread. And I swar I didn't read this before I posted my boy/girls thread.

Well, VILLAVIC comes from my ral lastname: VILLAVICENCIO (very spanish, isn't it?)

I comes from the DOS days where you had the 8.3 -characters limitation naming a file. Example AUTOEXEC.BAT 8 and 3 characters.

I worked on those days with mainframe computers (late 80s). I was a young new engineer, and mainframes also had an 8-characters limit.

So I always named my jobs "VILLAVIC", because I couldn't put VILLAVICENCIO

Later my boss started to call me Villavic, so everybody did.

He wasn't me favorite boss, he was the first boos I had, but actually we never became friends. So I remember him every time somebody asks about the "villavic" thing. But I don't care.

It's like Tina Turner, she kept the TURNER lastname, no matter how Ike made her suffer.

Isn't that weird????? :D

Meee-eee-eee! :D

Also, I remain annoyed that somebody else has already taken the e-mail addy [email protected]. :rolleyes:

- Jake

Yeah, it just came to me one night when I was going thru the usual names (taken, taken, taken...)

I was going to call my site Skcin Cam (obviously, the Cam being Mac backwards) but then I realized it sounds REALLY porny, so I decided to do a song name backwards instead. Angel seemed to work the best.

Paula

Exactly why I didn't go with DarkLinenNegligee. :nod:

- Jake

My name and some random numbers I punched in = My user name. I know, I'm so unoriginal...Should have been Tusk79 like on other message boards!!
