Ill go the main username that I have used over the years actually dates back to one of the first combat flight sim games I played and my fascination with military technology. The game goes all the way back to the DOS based gaming era on my parents first computer, an old Hewlitt-Packard running DOS with windows 3.11. The game? Comanche Maximum overkill by Novalogic. It was the game the first introduced me to the RAH-66 Comanche stealth attack helicopter. one thing lead to another and I soon formed my usual username of Comancherah taking the RAH from the designation and putting it at the end.

My username is a daily reminder of the person I used to be. Once upon a time I was a firefighter. The number 56 is the station number. I have that same number tattooed on my arm again as a daily reminder. I figured I couldn't do it anymore and sometimes that makes me a very "angry" but then I see that ink it reminds me that for at least a time my life touched others. So when the username I wanted couldn't be used I chose to have that little reminder as my username.

From the big, hairy, cowardly dude from "Labyrinth" that just needed a hug.

 

I usually go with random sayings for usernames like:

 

NoTimeToExplain or ILikeYourStyle but those violated the naming regs. :(

My username is a long story, actually. It is the call-sign that I earned while assigned to the 2nd Marine Division in Iraq, 2004. Most of you all know that I am in the Army National Guard. But back then, they were low on medical support.

 

I will actually post a link to the excerpt of the personal memoirs I am writing.

 

Let me know what you all think!

While mine isn't nearly as meaningful as most of the one's before me, it's from a punk band in the early 80's named Negative FX. Current and legendary punk band NOFX (my favorite band) took the Negative FX name and turned into into, well, NOFX.

My name comes from my real life nickname and my paintball team call sign. Been called monkey for years at work because I can climb just about anything and I look like an albino spider monkey.

Mine is a name given to the fictional character Raistlin Majere from the Dragonlance series of books.

BTW, you can click on the sig below to hear an anthem about him : )

The name also holds a deeper meaning to me because of my religious beliefs.

I've used this name for a good long while. I have mild dyslexia, so that name is a word play on 'Dyslexic'. It almost reads normally when I look at it. :D

Hello all! My name is actually a misspelling of the rock band who would later be Coheed and Cambria. Their first band was called Shabutie.

 

I had never seen anyone use the name before, so I thought it would be unique. Not very interesting :P

My is itsKiL0g because SuperKiL0 was taken :p

 

I have had the nickname of Kilo since I was about 16, so 10 years now. From my travel softball team's coach who was a Marine for about 30 years. For those who are familiar with the Phonetic Alphabet should know Kilo is K, thus my nickname being born. (I was also the only one on the team who would follow instructions or orders if you may)

I love Coheed and Cambria! Saw them live when I used to live in NJ. They put on a good show. Have you ever read the comics?
