What's the Origin of Your User Name?

[Ânthony]

I blame my parents.

Anthony - why does the A in your name have a roof over it.

Is it akin to an umlaut?

Thanks!

The roof is called a circumflex.

I suspect that he plays World of Warcraft.

Thanks Wildbill.

[kebn51]

My name is Kevin and when I was a kid I had friends that would say my name fast and it always came out as KEBN. 51 was my high school football number. I've been using this username since I was 18. 35 now.

[Crash]

I never owned a motorcycle until we lived in Saudi Arabia and I started riding in the dunes with a group of guys. My learning curve was very steep ergo, Crash.....

[Pokie]

It's not the name on my birth certificate but my family calls me Pokie. So do most of my friends.

[Busykngt]

Mine originated from the early days of personal computers and the very early "internet." For those
that don't remember (or are too young), there was a time when you could only have eight characters.
Also forums like this didn't exist yet; they were DOS driven (C:> prompt) "bulletin boards"...what a PIA
compared to nowadays. And since I was young(er) back in those days, I happened to also be working
my a $$ off to support a family, and was working day and night... so nights were equally "busy" for me!
It morph'd into "knight" due to my old English family name's meaning in arabic, "shinning knight" - I'm
suspecting, left over from the days of the crusades. Thus I have "Busy Knight" or in 1980 terminology,
"BusyKngt". That's my story and I'm stickin' to it!

[bigity]

My last name starts with a B. When I was going to my first Air Force base, that dumb song 'yo digity' was popular. Someone changed a letter and I became known as Bigity. Not to be confused with some form of bigot.
