What is behind the screen name you have chosen? Why did you pick it.

I'll go first... I was trying to think of a name when I registered here.. I looked at some of the screen name generators because I'm really horrible at thinking of one. So the word Silver came up on one.. I thought.."hey.. I like that word... Silver" AND my hair is mostly silver. And that fits in a Senior Forum...So then I was thinking and thinking of what goes with Silver. Silver Fox. no.. wasn't that Kenny Rogers name?.... Silver Star... Silver Flash.. that was a roller coaster I believe. ah.. flash... fast.... Quick... Eureka!! QuickSilver.. and I knew what avatar I would use..

How about you? How did you pick your screen name..

By the way... my real name is Lynn..
 

When I was little, my father used to take us to a small bungalow that he rented near the beach, and he stayed in the city working, just seeing us on the weekends. He bought a small used sailboat (minus the sails) and used it to take us out fishing. He named the boat SeaBreeze, and I used the name to honor his memory, and it brings back good feelings of my childhood. :sentimental:
 

I chose ClassicRockr because............absolutely LOVE Classic Rock music. Most of those Classic Rock groups/members are around my age and I love it. To me, hearing Styx playing Blue Collar Man or Renegade, Santana playing Black And Magic Woman, AC/DC playing Shook Me All Night Long, Deep Purple playing Hush, Bon Jovi playing Livin' On A Prayer..........is sweet, sweet music to this past Ludwig player.
 
I was once an education officer with wildlife.
I picked Little Owl. because once I knew an owl who had been hit by a car damaging its one eye and wings. It could not walk in a strait line and used to bump into the wall and furniture. No reflection on myself as I do not drink or smoke.
 
I have lots of Internet forum names, I would never give out my real name on a forum these days. I chose this one because I am just me, having never wished to be anyone else, even though I am far from perfect.
 
Was on a forum a several years ago and thought Captain Jack Sparrow (Pirates of the Caribbean)was Davey Jones and a good name to use,so now Im stuck with it.
 
I made mine up from the clear blue sky. I have the same name on several ( serious debating) forums where I moderate ( a different ID to this) and I just wanted to be a 'normal' poster on this forum and not deal with other posters problems and petty arguments..all that stuff that goes with being a Mod ya know, so I chose this name so no-one from the other forums who may be members here know who I am...believe me it's so refreshing to be able to join in the banter, play games and chat to people with out people thinking I'm favouring one poster over another...life, isn't it complicated even on line ? :peace:

I took mine form a slang saying from the Royal Navy, with whom I was lucky enough to serve with............ROMFT and then I added a Y to make it roll off the tongue easier.........

How cute, I just this past week was reading a book titled Little Bee. Parts of the story took place in the UK. If only it was as sweet a story as the sound of your nick, anyway, I like the name. :)

Thankyou.:)
 
Warrigal is the Aboriginal word for Australia's native dog, the Dingo.
I've added the Dame in front of it to send up our Prime Minister who has recently revived something like the old Imperial Honours system and started handing out knighthoods and damehoods (if such a word even exists?). I thought I'd take one now rather than wait for the phone call. After all, if it's good enough for Dame Edna...
 
Well, Steve just happens to be my real first name..
I use Steve on all forums I belong to.. I NEVER use my family name at all and will NEVER use it...
I actually do live in the small village of Massey up in Northern Ontario..

I used to use a "made-up" name (Ketsala) some time ago, but then I decided to go this way..
The funniest thing is on one forum I belong to, they all think that Steve is my made-up name....
 
It was the first name that popped into my head to be honest [and it was not already taken by others.]It's not the nicest of things [LOL] do you call oakapples that name in the US? They are round things on oak trees caused by the gall wasps [they lay eggs and the larvae secrete chemicals which cause irritation in the tree which results , by the tree and the larvae, in a 'gall' or apple shaped ball which the young wasps then eat.]
