How did you decide on your handle?

Very succinct dM.

I like products from Macromedia, especially the Studio MX. I took my handle from Macromedia " dreamweaver "

Mine's OZZU spelt backwards!

Ingenious. Surprised no-one took it so I was pleased when I got it. He he.

I happened to look at the Members list and was just curious.

I came up with Carnix about 6 years ago. I was working trying to get some stuff working on a Unix box and was looking for an answer to a question online and need to create a user account for a message board. The server's name was "Carpathia" so I came up with Carnix. I've more or less kept it ever since.

I though it was quite clever an unique at the time... I've since been relieved of that belief and have seen a number of carnixi here and there. Turns out, it was also the name of a celtic battle horn (spelled carnyx).

Um, my initials? With a number on the end.....

Cos I'm cool

lol @ rtm, mines just my nick name "tone" and the year 2000 "2k" and "11" as 1+1=2 (i started using it in 2002)

Bit out date now lol.

I like fox's... and then this was my user name on battle.net, then acct got deleted so I used foxy, and got used to it..

The FreeBSD mascot is a Daemon, often and inaccurately named "chuck". The appropriate and accepted name is "Beastie", (for BSD-ie).
I am a FBSD enthusiast, and I am a guy -- at least the last time I checked.
Hence, Daemon-Guy.

Not very imaginative, but I left those days behind me, along with my old monikers.

This was discussed before in another post, please use the search function.

I did. feel free to post the link, because I sure didn't find one that was specifically about this.

Didn't think of that term since I don't refer to it as a handle
I searched for "user name" "username" "how did you decided on your username" "where did your username come from"

Silly me.

Although, actually searching for "handle" doesn't show that thread, not on the first page anyway... nor does "how did you get your handle" or "How did you decide on your handle?" which is the topic of the thread in question (it shows up half way down page four).

Sorry for the imposition.

I had the image of SHaoLin monks fighting in my mind one day and hence the nick.

Umm, my two different S/Ns were either tomis-maximus and/or tom the great. I used them for accounts on Diablo 1, and since the first forum I joined was a diablo forum, I just used my account name, then i Just kept the name for all the other forums I go to.

I am starting to not like it so much, because it makes it sound like I have to big of an ego..

I searched for the word name in general only. Found it about 10 posts down.
