Where does your user name come from?
Just curious.
Mine's Crazyfrog because I'm terrible at thinking up new user names for things and that annoying little frog keeps popping into my head, lol. Also 86 is the year I was born.
Whats the inspiration behind yours?

'Sugar Kane' is a character played by Marilyn Monroe in Some Like It Hot (1959), which is my absolute favorite movie ever! And when I was signing up, I really didn't know what to have. I was thinking of all things Brittas (naturally!) but nothing I could come up with I liked that much. And I just thought: 'Oh, why not?!'  |

I got Thir13enth Ghost from one of my favourite horror movies Thir13en Ghosts. I use Thir13enth Ghost since there actually is only twelve ghosts in the movie.

Meh, made mine up. Made it up about 5 years ago, and never dropped it.

I was uninspired, so I took a dictionary (many years ago now ...) and put my finger at a random spot and found "nuclear warhead" ... Which in time was shortened to just Nuke ...

I just picked it at random, although now I think about it, I had just read the last Harry Potter, & Severus Snape was my favourite character, so maybe my subconscious picked it from there? Don't know - in all other things, I'm Pickles112, so no idea why I didn't use that here. Maybe I'll change it. Can you do that?

sev29 - you can change your display name (go to edit profile) though you'll still have to log in under 'sev29'.
I changed mine from spinach to Paulie... Because Paul's my name... Maybe I should have left it as 'spinach' - it would've been more anonymous.

Paul is still pretty anonymous - there must be millions in the world, although I have to say, I quite like spinach. Original.
Don't know whether to change mine or not - I've been sev29 for more than a year now. It's very anonymous, although every girl on here seems to share my first name, so that's pretty anonymous too....

Talking of names and anonymity, I have often thought about switching to using my real name as I cannot see any harm in it (and indeed, there are thousands of other Danes with the same name, so it is not likely to compromise my identity or anything), and often it is only habit stopping me.
Edit: And now I switched ...

It's funny how you get into habits like you say. Can't say I know any Kaspers, but then I'm not Danish.... I'm Helen, which is as fine a Brittas name as ever there was.  |

You should get a "Hi! I'm Helen" hat. Hehe! ;D

Better yet, get a moped and a complete yellow costume to go with it.  |

And a bag of pills from my kids' chemistry teacher to keep me happy whilst I'm driving it!

Very few men on this forum... So Ed would be a rather unique name.. The general idea is that I'm Lee Vilenski on all the forum's I'm on (And, if you were to look, it would be a great deal.) That or 'that English-Edge'. Meh, most names are just to distinguish who said what...
