How did you choose your GDF Alias?

[longboy]

I'm tall or something like that.

[The Lumberjack]

I just thought of something fun, and what's more fun than jumping from tree to tree as they float down the mighty rivers of British Columbia?

I was coding some web pages just before stumbling across the GD forum. When it came to picking a user name, I took a chance and pasted in whatever happened to be on my Mac clipboard. It was <b>.

Okay, I checked back several pages and I don't think I did this one, so, what the heck.

Mine is just a sort of half-assed anagram of the one that appears on my birth certificate. It's the first letter of my surname (the same as that of the Hollywood actress who was married to writer Roald Dahl) grafted on to my Christian name, which should be easy enough to figure out. Although nobody ever calls me by my given first name unless they know me only through official paperwork. But "Nobbie" just sounds odd.

It's a pen name I've used on and off for years. I came up with it in my twenties, when one is still sometimes overcome by those leftover adolescent feelings of absense, that sense that you're a non-entity, your whole personality is a sham and you're just a big walking zero. So the aspect of having a fake name starting with the most basic negative in the English language was appealing to me at the time.

Of course, half the people who see it think it's "Norbert," but that's my own fault for choosing something so close.

My freelance handle.

The d stands for design, but the jl are initials for my name, so I wont go any further than that.

[BadKharma]

I have been using it since I started joining forums. I have a storied past so there is where the meaning originated.

[Alien Xeonix]

No idea..alien? no reason..xeonix from a variation of a long used nickname of mine "XEON"

[Nzkswfxzqe]

My nickname is, I think, the weirdest here. Nzkswfxzqe consists of Nzk, swf and xzqe. Nzk comes from Znk, an older nickname. swf are just some letters, as well as xzqe.

[Virgo Nightingale]

o.O

Makes perfect sense.

[Gfxnoob]

Mine is plain and simple. I like Gfx and I am a Noob.
