What inspired your non-Star Trek username / nickname?

:smooch:

 

[Agent Richard07]

I don't have a Trek name because I use "Agent Richard07" as a standard username everywhere. It does have a Trek connection though. It's Bond-themed, but was actually inspired by "Gary 7". Also, when I was testing the waters here in 2001, I posted as U. S. S. Akira which is a Trek themed name.

 

[Stephen!]

My username is kinda obvious why it's chosen. And generally, it was just recycled from being used on other forums.

 

[Alpinemaps]

My cat is named Alpine, and I draw maps for a living.

 

[Jeyl]

Mine is actually from the last four digits of the serial number for my copy of "Myth: The Fallen Lords". I liked it so much I started using it as my online name. I wish I had the jewel case Myth came in so I could show everyone, but it got lost in a move.

Took about 2 years before I finally settled on how to pronounce it. JAIL like the prison.

For some reason I kept confusing you with the famous alpinekat (she of the famous LHC Rap).

From a song:

Friday night we'll be drinking Manischewitz
Going out to terrorize Goyim
Stomping shagitz, screwing shiksas
As long as we're home by Saturday morning

Cause hey, we're the Brews
Sporting anti-swastika tattoos
Oi Oi we're the boys
Orthodox, hesidic, O.G. Ois

Orthopedic, Dr. Martens good for
Waffle making, kicking through the shin
Reputation, gained through intimidation
Pacifism no longer tradition

Cause hey we're the Brews
Sporting anti-swastika tattoos
Oi Oi we're the Brews
The fairfax ghetto boys skinhead Hebrews

We got the might, psycho mashuganas
We can't lose a fight, as we are the chosen ones
Chutzpah driven, we battle then we feast
We celebrate, we'll separate our milkplates from our meat

We're the Brews
Sporting anti-swastika tattoos
Oi Oi we're the boys
Orthodox, hesidic, O.G. Ois

Funnily enough, I haven't listened to the band in years.

 

[Kai "the spy"]

Goes back to my childhood. Rather silly, actually. The kids in elementary school used to tease me with a nickname, "Weißer Hai", German for a Great White Shark, for no other reason that the rhyme to my actual name (Kai). Going years with this, it got pretty annoying. Then I heard that one of my idols, Stan Lee, had the nickname Stan "the man", so I decided to pick myself a new rhyming nickname that was to my choosing. "Spy" sounded cool enough, so I became Kai "the spy".

^^ It's cool that you modeled it after Stan. I thought at first that it was after the character in Lexx, which also would have been cool.

Sorry, I never watched "Lexx". Kai is actually my real name. And, yeah, it's kinda cool that my name is also the highest religious title of Bajor.

 

[RJDiogenes]

^^ If forgot about that one. Lexx is a pretty good show... if you have a deranged sense of humor.

Gotta give it a shot, then.

Another little anecdote, it seems that "Kai" is a girl's name in some Asian countrys, so someone on another board once thought I actually was an Asian girl. That incident was ... irritating.

^On plus side, your name isn't "Mitch" or something.

 

[Kai "the spy"]

For sure. I mean, 'Mitch "the spy"' doesn't even rhyme.

I must admit, I thought your name was based on Kai Wynn from DS9. She was an evil person, so "the spy" could have been relevant.

I grew up with Bond movies, so I never thought of "the spy" as something evil. And Harriet ain't evil, is she?

Now, I could get into detail as to the history of the German name "Kai", but as the child of two former teachers, I tend to talk too much about stuff people really don't wanna hear, so I'll exercise restraint.

 

[MLJames]

Mine's pretty simple. Last initial, middle initial, first name.

 

[starfox]

I like foxes. Starfox also is/was a popular Nintendo character/game.

 

[RJDiogenes]

^^ Starfox is also a character in Marvel Comics; or was, anyway.
