Explain your name...

[RedRocksU2]

Mine is obviously from one of the best concert ever....

 

[DeadMansParty]

Im a huge U2 fan, but the reason I became a musician is because of Danny Elfman. Not to take anything away from U2 cause I love them, but Ive always used this name.

 

[beli]

My username is my name

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

i'm a huge duran duran fan. they have a song called khanada. when i was registering at their forums, i thought i wanted a more ddish username. (i'd been going by the more U2ish poptart and was growing tired of the name.) i wanted to pick something that showed my gender because even though i thought poptart was feminine, apparently others did not.

anyway, it comes from the duran duran song khanada. my favourite member at the time was nick rhodes, because john wasn't in the band at the time. plus khanada taylor doesn't sound right.

 

[U2MaNaIcWeIdO]

Well....My username is techinally U2 Manaic Weido.....but it was suppose to be U2 Manaic Weirdo....since I'm a fanatical U2 fan...but I forgot the R and I capitonalized every other word after U2....so it became U2MaNaIcWeIdO

 

[Queen Bee]

Queen B was my alias at a few message boards (loosely inspired by an episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer) before I started posting here. I decided to go with Queen Bee when I registered because I thought it was clever. I hate my username.

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

i like it!

 

[ClaytonMan]

Im a bass player it only seemed logical to choose Adam as my name on ere. Plus i was in a hurry when i did it and couldnt think of anything better in the few seconds I had.

 

[Lil'Bono]

My mum give me it!!

 

[Laura M]

My pet name at home is Lara because my Grandmother couldn't say Laura. It jsut stuck.

I think Larry is pretty.

 

[Angela Harlem]

I wanted to be Jesus Online after a Bush song, but figured I'd probably end up getting roadkill sent to me if I did. So I picked this which mum always reckoned it sounded like Bono was singing in Angel of Harlem.

 

[beli]

I wanted to be Jesus Online after a Bush song, but figured I'd probably end up getting roadkill sent to me if I did.

 

[1stepcloser]

This song is what i was listening to at the time when i was registering and was having trouble thinking of a name - simple solution!

 

[hay]

My username is my name

same here, mine is short for Hayley, my nick

 

[JessicaAnn]

My username is my name

me too

 

[Miroslava]

Me three

But it does mean Peace and Glory

 

[elevatedmole]

Miroslava has a cool name

My username sucks. It's a play on lyrics from Elevation, and I hate it.

 

[MissVelvetDress_75]

If You Wear That Velvet Dress was playing while I was signing up for this board. I added Miss to add a southern flare to it and 75 stands for the year I was born.

 

[starsforu2]

Stars = Star Wars

U2 is obvious

I actually came up with this nick back when I had MSN and every name was taken and I didn't just want to be tim264. So I smacked two of my favorite things together (U2 and Star Wars) and came up with Starsforu2.

Needless to say, this has been a good year for both of my cultural loves.

 

[TheBrush]

i am an airbrush artist in the mall and I was just talking to one of the guys in a neoghboring store and somehow his nickname came up and i sarcasticaly pouted i dont have a nickname, and he looked at me and raised an eyebrow and just said "brush", i laughed cuase i thought of edge, you know simple one name, and said "the brush".

 

[pax]

pax=Latin for "peace"

It used to be longer, but ever since that one night Sicy was in the Bar...

 

[TwoAmericas]

Mine is obviously from one of the best concert ever....

100 percent agreed.

 

[one4u2]

Mine is my license plate. If I knew how much time I'd spend on here I would've been more creative

 

[Numb1075]

big fan of the song. i chose Numb because the song is so "un U2". I was born in October of 75. There it is, mystery solved. You can all sleep soundly tonight

 

[boystupidboy]

My name is the total opposite to what i am.I am in fact highly intellegent

 

[Doozer61]

girlintelligentgirl?

 

[lucky charms]

lets see.

used to be icelady = because the ex and I had nicks from friends, and ex's nick was Iceman and I became known as Icelady, when we got married, cheques and cards were made out to mr and mrs iceman

used to be=whackamole because that used to be a favourite kid time game

used to be guaca=IO inside joke at the time

lucky charms=again can thank the children for that one, I think I had gone grocery shopping and had just bought some for the kids

that's about it.

 

[dsmith2904]

My screenname came from AOL. When I originally signed up with them, I couldn't get the name I wanted so dsmith2904 was the name they suggested. I've taken it with me to various other ISPs, e-mail services and boards/forums because it's easy for me to remember.

 

[bammo2]

*takes deep breath*

well.........many many moons ago when I first signed up for a yahoo email account, I didn't know what username to choose. my brother had just signed up with bammo cos that's what he got called at school - our surname is bampton. He went to a public school (although I think you yanks call them private schools ) and boys at public schools tend to call each other weird things based on surnames, don't they

so I thought I'd have bammo2 for my email address. And since then a lot of my friends have started calling me Bammo cos they thought it was funny. so actually most of my friends in 'real life' as well as online call me Bammo

 

[BAW]

Copied from a recent thread:

Bono already has an Irish wife, so I was merely volunteering myself for the position if he ever decides he needs companionship when he's in North America.

I am not claiming to be Bono's real wife nor am I insinuating that Bono's real wife is anyone other than the very Irish Ali Hewson.

And contrary to what a few have insinuated:

No irony
No mystery
No attempt at deception
No political undertones

Its just a semi-lame screen name chosen because I wanted to use "Bonochick" and there was already a Bonochick here.
