What's in a name?

**aversion** · 10-23-2003, 09:19 AM

I used to run a site called aversiontherapy.com and started using aversion as a screen name then (mostly in quake games). Someone on the board, not naming any names, actually thought my last name was aversion when I spoke to them on the phone.

and before anyone tries it my password is not 'therapy'!!

Miles Aversion

How cool would that be??

**hurricaneone** · 10-23-2003, 09:28 AM

Sounds like a disease that demonstrates itself with a dislike of travelling.

**aversion** · 10-23-2003, 09:28 AM

heh, I know some people with a Miles aversion...

**el-Ignoramus** · 10-23-2003, 09:37 AM

Well the name says it all

who was it that said "if everything I don't know transfers to money, I'd be the richest person on earth" Mark Twain I guess

actually I used the name first in a linux forum, and it kinda stuck there

other names, Madamido, DD77, and Joe Black on UT and SS2nd encounter and the like

actually you'll find that madamido registered in this very site like a long time ago, I should've been a Mod by now

I came up with my handle while I was spending my junior year abroad in Japan; I needed a hotmail address where my family and friends could get ahold of me, so I wanted something simply that they could easily remember. So, japan (where I was) and greg (my first name) = japangreg.

I really thought that explanation would sound a lot cooler than it does...

I pretty much use it everywhere, although I also go by Rook_Alpha, or Rook someplaces (based on a character in a comic I created when I was in college... god, I'm such a geek)

My tag in the real world is Sub187
and im known in most games as 187 or sub187 (subsection 187 meaning homicide).

on here im onionboy... and other forums simply onion.
this comes from my nickname at street racing and cruise events as i drive a ford orion (nicknamed onions)

My real name is Mick Davies

Which became Mavies Davies

Which became Mavies

Which become Mavis

Which become Mave

Which become Mave the Rave

This was some time ago when I was young and a bit nutty.

Now I am old and really sensible.
But I kind of like the old Nick name.

Although it is no longer used outside of Flash Kit.

If I were to reunite with some old friends, no doubt they
would still remeber me affectionately as Mave

Contrary to popular belief MY NAME IS NOT ACTUALLY ALEX!!!

I always call you Alex

I say everyone puts their real name as a title for a few weeks...

very interesting idea!

**robbmcaulay** · 10-23-2003, 11:00 AM

Well I've started it...

**Ali_W** · 10-23-2003, 11:10 AM

Ali is my nickname, W is 1st letter of surname. Easy to remember (for me anyway!).
Sometimes used without underscore, I think that was already taken.

**TallGuyLittleCar** · 10-23-2003, 11:26 AM

I really do look pretty funny in my car, especially since I can't put the seat back the last inch and half due to the roll bar.

**erova** · 10-23-2003, 11:46 AM

my last name spelled backwards.

Love that album..That is the ONLY hip-hop/rap (or however you want to categorize it) album that I own....Unless you count old school Beastie Boys (Pauls Boutique is sublime)........

Meet George Jetson....

**Kac** · 10-24-2003, 12:15 AM

I wish my name was different, but since I signed up 2 years ago, I haven't changed it.

I use to play starcraft under the name Kaclin'Magoo, friend was Puffin'Magoo, and we owned, unbeknownst our gay names. Then I just shortened it to Kac cause the other was too long.

I go by Satara in CS and on MSN. Comes from The Count of Monte Cristo, also means driftwood in spanish.

If i had it my way, my fk name would be cozypants.
