    Default How Did You Come Up With Your User Name?

    What are the origins of your user name? Is it a nick name? Private joke? Did you put much thought into it or just put down the first thing that popped into your head?

    As for me sometimes, especially on sleepless nights I spend a lot of time surfing the internet in cyber space. I don't even know what I'm looking for half of the time, it's like I'm in a trance - a coma - a CyberComa.

    My ex-girlfriend (who was my girlfriend at the time of aquiring my name) was on some wierd thing on the Internet called "Find Your Goth Name". Really all it was, was a random word selector that took a word from one list and threw it together with a word from another list.
    My goth name is Candlelight Chaos, and I thought it sounded so cool that I would make it my official Internet name.

    I'm about twenty km from Niagara Falls and no, I mean we got some of the storm but didn't get hammered by it, the roads aren't very bad and the schools are open. Where I am, we got hammered by that storm in October - didn't see that one coming.

    I was the first person to post. Well, actually it was su_admin but he doesn't count. So anyway, I thought it would be cool to have the incredibly simple, yet so practical name of "drummer". I picked it for two reasons:

    1. I'm lazy and it's easy to type in.
    2. Because where else in the world can you pick "drummer" as your user name and have it be available. I just thought that was too cool!

    I was making my own djembe and needed money for rings and string so I could finish it. I bummed it from some hippies and they started calling me "the one drum bum" and it kinda stuck.

    Cool How Did You Come Up with Your User Name?

    That explains a lot, 1DB--

    CyberComa, I thought I was the only one who got dazed and confused after surfing the 'net (yeah, right!)...

    Now how did "bongobro" become "bongobro"? I have a teen-aged buddy who shares my birthday (he's actually young enough to be my own son) and shares my love for hand percussion (we've jammed together on many occasions, including the two "Latin Night" escapades in another thread), so I started calling ourselves "the bongo brothers."

    Actually, I consider any guy who digs--and plays--hand percussion to be my "bongo brother." (If you happen to be a female, I use the term "conga chick," but I really don't like that term since it sounds a little sexist.)

    ... "bongobro" is a contraction of "bongo brother," and if I do say so, it's a cool nickname for a hand drummer...

    BTW, I have since learned there is an Australian group called "The Bongo Brothers" that's very popular with children--hb58, have you ever heard of them?
    keep the beat goin' ... Don't keep it to yourself!

    I can't say I have bongobro. I did a little quick google search, to no avail. I'd be interested hearing some of their stuff if anyone manages to find anything. I'm way to tired right now to make a serious research effort.

    Anyway, onto my name: My last name is Bell, which has spawned a whole bunch of usernames for various forums. I liked Hellsbells the best, so I tend to use that the most now. As for 58, I'm not sure where that came from. I have a feeling it was some long lost thing back when I used to play Runescape in like Year 8 of High School. That's just my hunch though.
