What's in a name? What's in YOUR name?

[pikabo-icu]

Ok so there's a LOT of doom & gloom, the sky is falling, posts about MP and the like so I figured I would try something a little light hearted..

Tick-Tock let's see how long this post will last before poofing..

Perhaps the MODS will gimme a lil slack since we're still waiting on that "Break Room" board..

I've often wondered about other members handles and how they choose them.

Some are petty obvious, some quite clever but many are still a mystery to me.. 

Is anybody willing to share how they chose their posting ID?

I'll go first; Mine is a play on peek-a-boo I see you, I know the spelling is atrocious. LOL

I've used this handle on & off for over a decade.. 

Ok Now you....

Mostly, it’s pretty dry. Some days are still kinda ‘damp’ 😉

@mtgraves7984 I never saw it as empty. I saw it as mountain. Now I can't unsee it 😳😄

Mine is an old nickname.... it refers to how fast I go on a skateboard 🛹 😌 

Not hawaiian at all, but I am asian and a white man from Nebraska gave me the title. Lol don't tell James @inhawaii

[katzrul15]

Yes - I always thought it was "empty graves".....lol

(just thought perhaps you sourced your items differently than some of us!)

[eeekkk-a-spider!]

I think mine is quite obvious too.  Perhaps I should add a spider image.

I put myself in the lame category---I love ferns and live in the woods among them.

again pretty obvious with the 2018 when we established inside and outside eBay

Love the post!

Now that makes sense - I always read it like "fern" (a name) "would"    lol

@flyinhawaiiangirl 

Oooh... sorry. 😎

Skateboarding begets "Flyin' Hawaiian"... laffin' and lovin' it! Sounds stupid now, but I always thought of yours as the situation where your drink was spiked by a tourist. Of course, in my mind, you lived there. And it was Spanish Fly... 🍹

Mine is a bit obscure and partly based on subtle references to ancient Greek mythology, nuclear physics and Native American spirituality.

😎   😀

[downunder-61]

WOW, I would never have got that.............

[dryophelia]

@downunder-61 

Is 61 your house number? 😂 

[*madison]

My id name is my real surname.

Originally I added an extra d and it was Maddison,

but then later I dropped the extra d.

Mine is pretty obvious - for a long time I specialised in vintage hats (restoration and sales) and goth/cyber/punk clothing.

When I came aboard eBay in 1998, Mark McGwire was playing first base for the Cardinals and was known as Big Mac.  On our company softball team, we had several Stooges fans, including me.  On my jersey was the name Moe.  We also had a Curly, a Larry, and a Shemp.  I played first base and was called Big Moe.  Tried to use bigmoe as my eBay ID, but someone had just taken that name, a couple months prior.  So I became biggymoe.  So this is one that I am sure no one would have figured out.
