    I've always used the same one on forums, etc so I can remember it without writing it down. But in games, I use "deathspeed" cuz it sounds scarier. :) I started using the name "Dr. Deathspeed" while playing the single-player only "The Great American Cross Country Road Race" on my Atari 1200XL in college. I don't remember now if the name just popped into my head, or if one of my college buds came up with it.

    When I created my email in 2002(same one I use today) the name I made was k2aka111. That then switched to brickling and now I'm yRaz. yRaz seems to be used in lots of other places so I need to come up with something original. However, I haven't found a place that I couldn't use k2aka111 at or brickling.

    Same one it's been since I signed onto hotmail when it first started.
    P51d007. I'm an airplane nut, so the P51D is the North American Aviation, WW2 P-51 Mustang, the D model, and the 007, well Mr. Bond....I'm a fan of the original 007 movies.

    First screen name back in 1993 was Thunder (yeah I know it's quite lame but it was 1993 and I was just a kid).

    PimpyMicPimp

    Yup.


    (Some adult-y cartoon had a seen where a character went "Well alright then, Mr. PimpyMicPimpinheimer!", or something along those lines, and I, as a kid, found that hilarious)

    I'm quite new to this "Internet handle" thing, but i know one thing for sure: I use 'Benny26' on pretty much all the websites/forums i visit, but i first used it right here on Techspot!...and it was sort of an accident due to me thinking that 'Benny' would so obviously be taken here already.

    It's meaning is very simple: My surname is Benn (so people call me Benny)...and i was born on the 26th day.
  14. Leeky TechSpot Moderator Posts: 4,344   +59

    Mine is quite simple really, my name is Lee Kaelin and my nickname is Leeky. So both are used as handles online.

    I don't recall my first handles though, I used obscure ones in the beginning and it wasn't till about 3-4 years ago I started using the handles I use now everywhere online.

    My current name has served me well for almost 8 years now, and its creation was very simple. Its just alphabetical gibberish that people try to sound out and in the process sound funny. I first created this name as an online character name for Champions of Norrath on PS2.

    dimebag

    After the Pantera guitarist...

    started using that on BBSs around 1992, eventually stopped using that once this crazy internet became more popular and people started making other associations with the name...
