What's in a Name?

[doncameron]

combo of my first and middle names

 

[hankdatank1362]

Ummm... It's my old AOL IM screen name from when I was in middle school.

My uncle always called me Hank the Tank ever since I was born. (I'm a big 'ol boy)

I changed "the" to "da" so I could be totally dizzown with mah hizzomies

1362 - last four digits of my phone number (actually my parent's house, cause I've long since moved out)

 

[XavierBreath]

Save your breath.

It's what my wife says when I try to explain my latest gun purchase.

 

[hksw]

My handle at TFL, hksigwalther. Got tired of typing it out all the time.

 

[Glockfan.45]

Self explanitory, I like Glocks , and I only own .45's for pistols. Well I had a .40S&W but traded it for another .45 .

 

[Irwin]

Its my surname.

 

[Hypnogator]

Back in the day, I was an investigative hypnotist.

Don't look me in the eye!

 

[ptmmatssc]

ptmmatssc = paulie the mystery man and the super sleuth cavalcade


Was trying to figure out a screen name and a friend just blurted it out and it stuck .

 

[mrelijahgardner]

Hmm, Mine ought to be hard to figure out.
I just don't believe in INTERNET anonymity. If I say something I want someone to know who said it.

 

[Cromlech]

My name is taken from a track on the album Soulside Journey, by the band Darkthrone.

 

[Harry Paget Flashman]

My favorite fictional character from the books by George MacDonald Fraser.

 

[Deer Hunter]

A combination of my middle and last names.

Did I mention my first name was Awesome?

 

[Fu-man Shoe]

A simple phoenetic rendering, for that most insidious of doctors..

 

[real_name]

It's my real name.

 

[Lennyjoe]

First name Lenny, middle name Joseph.

Dad called me Lennyjoe and that's what most of my family calls me to this date.

 

[Hud]

A rather obscure nickname for Richard. I also kind of liked the movie of the same name starring Paul Newman.
And...., before anyone has a chance to point it out, I am fully aware that "Hud" spelled backward is "Duh". I get that every time I look in the mirror.

 

[AWP]

I got tired of trying to come up with clever names for the different gun forums so I just used my initials. I also think this is my first post here and when I went to log in I forgot my screen name! How is that for irony?

 

[Legionnaire]

I've answered this before. I like the image of a single legionnaire, one of many who together made up the Roman legions. I thought of "Praetorian," but that sounded too pompous; I prefer the stolid image of the Roman foot soldier. However, I must confess that I never served in the armed forces, so no reference to the American Legion.

 

[Josh Aston]

I forget the significance of mine.

 

[SoCalShooter]

SoCalShooter gives you a pretty decent definition of me. I have other handles too.

 

[hso]

Welcome to THR, AWP!

HSO stands for Health and Safety Officer and is a job I've done for nearly 15 years. The HSO is the person on a hazardous waste site project responsible for the safety of the crew. We're often the first in and the last out to make certain, as "certain" as you can be when you're not always certain what's there, that we know what the hazards are and how to control them so the work can get completed without incident. I've run safety on sites with radiological, chemical, biological, structural and EOD hazards. Usually with 3 of the 5,but sometimes with 4 of the 5. Makes for a boring life.

 

[Tom609]

Served from '67 to '71 - in K9. Great question!

 

[Hanzo581]

Hanzo- Hattori Hanzo from kill bill, then my birth month and year, May 81'

 

[ksnecktieman]

I have been a mechanic my whole life, and friends were always asking me for help when I went out, they would want me to jump their car, or listen to it, or something. I discovered one evening after a wedding (not mine) that a tie was a good excuse not to work on someones car. I Have been wearing a tie almost all the time, ever since. Tieman to my friends, so when I got on the net a "Ks" in front of it tells people where I am from.

 

[starsandstriper]

fishy

stars and stripers is the name of our boat. we named our boat this as a patriotic tribute to one of our favorite fish, the striped bass (striper). nothing to do with shooting really, but i belong to many fishing forums and like to keep the names consistant.
