Origin of your Username (6 Viewers)

[maloviz]

My name is from a randomizer from a video game lol. I got pretty into the game so I became known by a few people as this online and ended up making other accounts with the same name. I imagine most "Video game-y" usernames are made the same way.

 

[l33tf0b]

High school screen name that I’ve stuck with that since it looked unique and meant something funny.

L33t = elite or leet
F0b = fob / fresh off the boat but I’m actually born in the states.

 

[tooth_doc]

I'm boring.... I fix choppers

 

[jamesjkim]

Um yea… didn’t read the obvious fine print during registration and assumed I could change it.

I wanted to change it to Jamstown as my close friends call me Jams, and it seemed fitting for a poker forum, but decided not to, to preserve my current account data (can only have one account). Who knows though… maybe I’ll forgo all of it and emerge again.

 

[deeoohhgee]

mine's cuz of dogs, even though i own a cat now ... as for the pic, i wouldn't touch me with a 39 & 1/2 foot pole

 

[Preditor]

I'm a video editor in Los Angeles. "Preditor" with an "i" instead of an "a" is short-hand industry jargon for "Producer/Editor".

I love your avatar!

 

[Preditor]

I love your avatar!

I literally just changed it a few hours ago . It's an AI generated image from Adobe. My group is considering the name "Bluffalo Wild Wings" and I was playing with creating a mascot.

 

[snakster1966]

College nickname. And a number.

 

[Benjaminotaur]

Before and After has always been my favorite Wheel of Fortune category, so anything that starts somewhere and takes a sharp turn to something different has always been fun to me. Minotaurs are cool. Benjamin is my first name. Smoosh them together for something even cooler (Says me).

 

[iLogik]

Back when I made my first call of duty / ps3 account it asked for a user name, I looked around my room and the only thing that stood out was my hair gel name… Logik

 

[PokerDogDoc]

I’m a veterinarian so mine is probably pretty self explanatory.

I also chose it because it’s reminiscent of the famous series of paintings by Cassius Marcellus Coolidge collectively known as “Dogs Playing Poker”.

My favorite of the collection is “Poker Sympathy” where 4 aces lose to a straight flush.

If you ever want the high-resolution version of the chip mosaic I made of this, let me know. They make great posters.

And if you want to zoom in and see the full resolution look here (be sure to search for the Where's Waldo chip...he's in there!):

Reminds me the first custom set I designed.

@k9dr is this your alter ego?

 

[UncleMilty]

Been called Uncle Milty my whole life

 

[TricycleClub]

My first Paulson set had a tricycle club label.

Can’t wait to complete the 2.0 version
I jumped the gun and already got some dice to represent:

 

[ZANow]

ZANow short for Zombie Apocalypse Now.

Because we all can hope.

 

[4SUMERZ]

We have a sports car *with that personalized* plate, that we use exclusively for our summer road trips, plus look forward to summer for golfing.

 

[jquizo]

Mine is a play on my actual name

 

[KidFromCleveland]

Love in atlanta now but still love my rust belt roots

 

[SavageLizard]

Early days of fantasy football I named my team Savage Lizards. One time I called one of the dudes and his wife yelled to him "it's the Savage Lizard." Then he called me that, and some others, and the nickname was born. Now I use it for pretty much all online things.

 

[YepImNaked]

Just my online poker screen name I used to play under. No real story behind it, other than that it makes a good screen name.

 

[lancero]

My original online name is TheGiver(going back to the 90's). When I got into poker I knew that screen name would not bode me well in the poker arena. So in the poker world I'm lancero, in the cigar world I'm TheGiver.

 

[pipdenny]

My name is from a scarcely heard-of, short-run comedy sketch show. It’s one of the character’s names in one of the sketches. If anyone knows what I’m talking about then we pretty much are instant best friends.

Googling the name doesn’t even bring up the show, which is sad. Criminally underrated show that was.

 

[CuddlesPhD]

Mine goes back to Halo 3 days. I wanted something not threatening and yet just annoying enough to tilt people when killing them.

 

[Ghost_Writer_WL]

I am Ghost_Writer_WL for various reasons:
It's my nickname on poker stars; I am an actual ghost writer and I am Wallace Lee, the author of Rambo Year One (google it).
I am Italian, my actual name is Marcello and friends call me Wallace because you know... Marselus Wallace (Pulp Fiction)
Hence: Ghost Writer Wallace Lee.
