What's with your username, dude?

[banjoplayer]

I always find it funny, that Ian Gillan calls the guitarplayer in common and Ritchie Blackmore especially "banjoplayer"

edit: i never even touched a banjo

 

[PeteDuBaldo]

I had originally registered under the name Pete to respond to a thread on here where someone was asking about my store, and immediately after registering I realized I should probably register as PeteDuBaldo for name recognition purposes.

 

[emanon]

emanon = noname (no name)

 

[Krell]

Mine comes from a high end audio manufacturing company whose gear I happen to be a fan of and also own a few products of theirs. It's also from the movie Forbidden Planet (which is actually where the company got the name) and Krell is a race of technologically advance beings. www.krellonline.com is the site if anyone is interested.

 

[Aziah]

I'm another non-original one...it's just my name (pronounced Asia like the continent)

[shamus63]

My former boss and good friend nicknamed me "Shamus", and it just stuck...even though I have absolutely no Scottish blood on either side of the family.

'63 is my birth year.

73h : 1337 for THE.

Nils: My name

Piece o' cake.

 

[GoKart_MoZart]

Springsteen was on the radio when I signed on...

Not really a great story, but there you go... I wanted Beej, but it was taken..

 

[emkey]

My nickname is not that original. emkey = MK = my initial

 

[ashman]

My friends call me Ash, and one day I hope to be a man.

I'll leave it to Dizzy to come up with a smartass repsonse. assuming internet travels in real time in Perth.

I think Rob fired a pre-emptive smartass comment

 

[CarbonTim27]

Lessee... I got Carbon from the Carbon Blue JP I had ordered at the time of joining the forum, my real name is Tim, and 27 was a number I wore during my personal best season in my hockey playing days that has basically became my favorite number.

 

[Sigmunds Couch]

Former band name christened by my wife in a brilliant moment. She was in a Psychology class at the time studying Sigmund Freud.

We were 5 guys with more baggage and issues than a leaky cargo ship. We all needed to spend some serious time on Sigmund's couch.

It stuck. BP shortened it to Siggie and that's stuck now too.

 

[Blind Lemon]

I used to play a lot of slide guitar, mainly blues ,so one of the guys in the office coined the name 'Blind Lemon' Lunney. as my surname is Lunney

 

[jbert]

Mine is a composite of my first initial and the first four letters of my last name. My nickname as a teen was Bert, but that was already taken as I recall.

I'm sure you're all in awe of my creativity.

Jbert

 

[IslandBoy]

Even though I dont look like the stereotype, I am originally from the Caribbean Islands .....................

 

[DrKev]

DrKev came from my name, Kevin, and a PhD in physics. When I switched from science for a meagre income playing guitars, I used it as an email and forum tag, and it has even become a stage name.

 

[wolfbone07]

Mine comes from a childhood nickname. The 07 showed up because the first time I used it as a user name, the regular old "wolfbone" was already taken.
