 Topic: How did you think of your username?
Posted: October 24 2005 at 03:26 |
There are some very interesting usernames on the forum. A lot are based on bands or songs but some of them make no sense to me.
So how did you all think of your usernames?

Chipirón: It's the popular name for a kind of squid that's usually eaten in Spain cooked in its own ink, so it's one of the few dishes in the world that's black coloured.
Besides, It's the name of my cat, that's completely white... 
BTW, great thread, I think it can be very funny...

For years, I have two main hobbies and passions: rock music and model trains. You got the answer.

its from a rush song, video vertigo test for echo. Not too exciting, but its a rush name I can count on being unused on pretty much anything, any message board et cetera.

I like Moogs (analog synthesizers) and mellotrons (prehistoric samplers). A lot of instruments have a number as well, indicating the version of the instrument. So when you're talking to me, you're talking to a third generation imaginary instrument. Well, some people talk to their computer as well, don't they  ?

mine is spelled backwards (very evil  )
It's was my nickname at highschool. I was always listening to Ted Nugent's album "Double Live Gonzo" so people started to call me "Gonzo". I never got rid of it...

No negative comments this time  ..!!
Except that my name Neuteboom is a typical Dutch name and always hard to pronounce  for non Dutch speaking people! By the way, I asked Andrea to be a he or a she because both is possible in Italy!

Hello Erik,
It's not both possible in Italy, though, being only a male name!
In other european countries I know they use the name also as a feminine...what a paradox: in fact the ancient greek root of it, anér, means "MALE" while the other ancient greek word andrčia means "virility" and "strenght"!

Hello Andrea.
Sorry for the typing error "sotty", it must have been a Freudian slip because I meant "sorry" but I also love beer !
