Explain your user name!

[K'Ehleyr]

Well mine's obvious. Although she was only in 2 episodes of TNG (why did they kill me off?!) I thought K'Ehleyr was a fabulous character, an intriguing mix of human and Klingon traits ~ strong, courageous, intelligent yet humourous and a brilliant communicator. It wasn't a hard choice ~ I wish I had her batlh.
And I'd like to be able to wear a leather cat suit like that too

Please abbreviate it to K'Eh, 'cos it's a bugger to spell

 

[Zulu Romeo]

^^ I remember when you used to be K'ehleyr.

 

[SiorX]

Síor is my nickname. Long and dull reason for it, but it's a prefix meaning always/ever. It's pronounced 'Sheer'.

Signing up, the name was too short, so I stuck an 'X' on the end. So now it's pronounced Sheer-ex, or She-Rex, or even She-Wrecks.

It was too short? I'm pretty sure there are many people (including myself) with 4-character names. Maybe something got changed when we moved over to vBulletin a while back. I know that happened on another board I'm on, and I had to ask the mods to fix things so I could re-register with my original name.

It's odd. Because I've noticed since that there are four-letter handles, and if I type 'Sior' in on the registration form now it says it's grand. Yet at the time I remember it not working, and there's no other reason, apart from trying to lengthen the name, for me to have stuck on a prosthetic 'X'.

 

[RJDiogenes]

^^ Same thing happened to me. I tried to register as just "RJ," but it was too short so I stuck on a prosthetic "Diogenes."

 

[Saturn0660]

It's my email address... And it's because at that time i owned a Saturn. the numbers are what the mail server gave me.

 

[BrotherBenny]

Hmmm, I may well have been, I forget if I ever actually had my username as that, though I think people certainly called me that at any rate.

I'm good, thank you. How are you, how's America?

America is great and so am I, feeling great anyways. Thanks.

I remember when you used to be less cheeky young man

 

[Tom]

As for Fleetlord, when I joined this forum way back when, I wanted to use either Sith Lord or Fleet Commmander (in hindsight, years later I think those were stupid choices) but they were taken, so i combined them. A year or 2 later Thomas Turtledove wrote a book with a character named Fleetlord, but that is not where my screen come from. Since then, my name is just 'Tom' on all the other Star Trek and Scifi websites/forums I have created. This is one of the only places left I go by Fleetlord.

 

[Mistral]

I wanted a "Trekkie" name but not too obvious. I like time travel and always thought the character in "Carbon Creek" was kind of romantic in a semi-doomed sort of way. Despite making a state spelling bee years ago I can't spell for #@&% so it came out Mistral instead of Mistrel. Memory Alpha has the correct spelling. Did I mention that I'm also fundamentally lazy?

I didn't bother to look it up. Then I double-goofed. I started writing/submitting fanfics over here and had to stay with the name for recognition purposes or lose my audience of two.

Ironically, other than Ad Astra(see sig), I don't use it anywhere else on the Internet. My usual handle is Cable 99, named after the Xman of the same name. The night Xbox Live came on I signed up at 3 am-and someone had already gotten Cable, so I added 99. After 7 years of playing and God knows how many websites, etc I am Cable 99. Except around here.

 

[Lookingglassman]

My name is based on a poem written by General Patton "Through a glass, darkly" (also a Bible verse)- the poem pretty much talks about a warrior who is reincarnated over and over again to fight in battles throughout history.

"So as through a glass, and darkly
The age long strife I see
Where I fought in many guises
Many names, but always me."

I'm the man looking through the glass thus Lookingglassman.

 

[Sakrysta]

^I always thought yours was Alice in Wonderland related.

 

[OrionSlaveGirl]

I love their costumes and my husband made me a cool avatar... took a sexy picture of me and turned me green... unfortunately I haven't had enough time to post enough and so can't use it yet!

 

[Michael Chris]

I wonder if anyone can possibly guest what the meaning behind mine is!

 

[Punky]

My loving peers in high school gave me this name. My maiden name is Brewster. The nickname grew with me and I am still to this day known as Punky.

 

[M'Sharak]

I love their costumes and my husband made me a cool avatar... took a sexy picture of me and turned me green... unfortunately I haven't had enough time to post enough and so can't use it yet!

I'm seeing it now.

 

[comsol]

Mine comes from The Menagerie, Part 1. Commodore Mendez received an order signed "Comsol, Starfleet Command". I remembered seeing that in the Star Trek Concordance when it first came out in 1975 (the Ballentine Edition) and it had stuck in my mind. When I needed a user name, that's what I came up with.

 

[Gepard]

The nickname grew with me and I am still to this day known as Punky.

Congratulations on having the nickname my mother used to call me. In public. When I was a teenager. And I'm a guy.

 

[Herkimer Jitty]

Mine was supposed to be derived from the Herkimer Battle Jitney from Mystery Men, but I typo'd and... it kinda stuck.

 

[Skywalker]

I like Star Wars.
