So how did you pick your user name?

[El Sapo]

I'm sure this question has been asked many times but I hadn't seen it in a while so I thought it might be fun to bring it back around.

When I first registered on here I was working in a restaurant where all the guys in the kitchen were calling each other "Sapo". It was a term of endearment and they called me, the lone white guy who spoke some Spanish, "El Sapo". It was kind of my nickname at the time and that's why I chose it for Hornfans. Honestly, I've been tired of the name for years and have often thought of changing it... but I've had it for so long I guess I just stick with it.


So how did you pick your user name?

 

[The Muzzler]

Mine sounds similiar to my surname. My friends started calling me that in college, and it just stuck.

Red Grange was one of the first true stars in pro football; his nickname was "The Galloping Ghost." I just changed the name around a bit.

[Art Vandelay]

Seinfeld is my favorite TV show of all time, and I liked the idea of using George Costanza's alias as my own.

Plus, I'm an importer/exporter. Ok, not really.

 

[Rip76]

The "Rip" part a guitar nickname
"76" I just like that number.

 

[MizzouSnives]

school + nickname (based on last name)

pretty simple.

 

[capnamerca]

Played a lot of Duke Nukem in high school. Multiplayer only allowed 10 characters, so I had to pick something somewhat cool and somewhat short. This is what I came up with ... I guess I accomplished the short part.

[Praise of Folly]

I'm an English major and Philosophy/Classical Civ. minor so I use this now. It's based on a book by Erasmus which he wrote in response to Thomas More's Utopia.

 

[Napoleon]

 

[Agent007]

Big fan of James Bond. Most of my usernames have something to do with 007......

 

[ctrl+alt+del]

I didn't choose my user name - it chose me.

 

[LordHornAustin]

I believe my signature has me covered on this one.

 

[CharlestonHorn]

Lived in Charleston for a summer 7 years ago when I first registered for this site. Didn't put much forethought into it and have wanted to change it for about 6 1/2 years now, since I don't live there any more and don't expect to live there again.

 

[jt09]

Initials and my jersey number at the time.

 

[wolfman]

I used to do a pretty good wolf howl. Lots of my longtime friends still call me Wolfman.

 

[Macanudo]

I was supportive of all things Mack Brown and I like cigars.

 

[halsteadfrost]

I was really unoriginal when I first signed on and Halstead Frost is my full name.

On subsequent message boards I've started using an alias so that people don't track me down and harass me for things I've said online. Here I figure, on a Horn Message board, I should be amongst friends, so no worries...

 

[Third Coast]

Got the name when I crawled out of the sea near Port Aransas over 500 million years ago.

You mean those aren't y'all's real names? Damn.

Remember when Klotz had a bit of legal trouble with a girl he was dating? Well I thought it would be funny if I created this user name and wrote about how wrong the whole situation was. It got such a laugh that I kept posting under it. Plus, I'm a huge boxing fan.
