Where did some of you come up with your usernames?

[Ghoste]

How did some of you come up with your usernames?  Some are obvious, but some are obscure.
Mine comes from a silver 69 Charger that I used to own.  Someone had given the car the nickname "ghost" and it stuck.  When I went to get custom plates for the car, all I could get was "GHOSTE" with an "E".  Ghost and Ghost1 thru about 20 were all gone and I didn't want a number on there anyway so I just added the "E".
Now, 15 year later, it's the car I should have kept and I still have the plates so I just use that for an online identity.

[andy74]

mine came from license plates also,i used to drive a 74 camaro z 28,there was about 5 different guys around with cars that looked like mine,different colors but all 2nd gen chevs,so when i joined a car club,the guys started calling me andy 74,as there was an andy already there! so that was my plates,and although the car and plates are long gone,the name sticks!!!!!!!!

[Old Moparz]

I remember waking up in the middle of the night once with a pain in my head because my wife was hitting me there with part of a steering linkage screaming "I'm sick of hearing about all these old mopars" & thought she dragged out the last syllable too long because it sounded like a "Z". I've been spelling it that way ever since.

[Charger_Fan]

Nice, Moparz!


Mine's probably obvious...I like Charger's. 

[NYCMille]

I got my name "NYCMille" because I used to do a bit a roadracing and my race bike at the time I joined D-C.com was an Aprillia RSV Mille - that and the fact that I was born in lower Manhattan and grew up in or around NYC my whole life.

[PlumBad70]

My name is PlumBad70, I don't know why cause I'm painting my car sublime...I debated on what color to paint the 70, since most of you guys reconize PlumBad70, I didn't change it....I guess I could be called SlimeBad70

[Ghoste]

Nah, stick with the Plumbad.

[Khyron]

I would say "See Robotech conversation on D-C" but well, those threads are gone...


basicly it was my first online name I used in 1993, and have used it sence. He was a character in Robotech, Tall, skinny, and an a$$hole, just like me

[Drache]

My girlfriend said that I looked and acted like a dragon when I woke up in the morning and since I'm German I decided Drache which is german for Dragon! 

[bull]

A high school knickname given to me for my ability to run people over on the football field.

[Jon Smith]

My parents thought it up for me

[Mefirst]

My nic *Mefirst* is a rip off from a band named "Mefirst and the Gimme Gimmes" I thought about Gimme or GimmeGimmes to, but that sounds just like a little kid, so I took the "Mefirst" instead. Ive used this nic for a long time...

PocketThunder.. well....... um....... the ladies all know where that comes from.....hehehe     


on a side note.  i just registered and i was member #68.  Damn!  one more and i would have been sixty nine baby!!!!

[Telvis]

Most of you know I'm a retired cop. My buddies use to tell me I sound like Elvis on the radio. My first name is Tim. Telvis is a combination of the two. Unfortunately I don't have the hair. Slick as a cue ball! My wife likes it though.

I figured it was what you yelled when racing against mustangs in your Charger! "Me First Damnit!"

[skyhawk61]

skyhawk61 was my call sign back when I flew air search and rescue/crime scene aerial photography/air surveillance for our local sheriff's department back in the day.

[wLc]

My initials.

[SLIKK 70]

Slick  was my nickname in High School. I had to change the spelling for my License plates so I kept it the same as a Username. 70 is for my 1970 Charger 500.

[Dans 68]

Well, it is a long story...the short story is that it is what I own, and the long story that it is a word play using selective capitalization of the car model name, engine size and my first name; kinda clever if I do say so. When, if ever, I get my '68 I suppose the name will change to 68RT44073SEDan400... but by that time it hopefully will be 68RT44073SEDan451.

[NHCharger]

Uh, i live in New Hampshire and i own a Charger or two.

[tomonty]

Mine is a reference from a line in the movie 'The Golden Child' with Eddie Murphy. The part where he is in the cave to get the knife and right before he drinks the water he toasts to Monty. One night my friends and I were having a get together and we had a toast and someone said To Monty! Somehow it caught on and we toast to monty every time we get together. Kinda lame, but everything is a lot cooler when your inebriated.
