Where did your user name come from??

Wooster · Oct 11, 2008

I use the last name of Bertram Wilberforce "Bertie" Wooster, one of the main characters in the brilliant Jeeves & Wooster stories, written by P.G. Wodehouse.

Miles Borocky · Oct 11, 2008

my name

...is the name of the fictional alter ego I use in stories I write loosely based on my life.

IndigoFanatic · Oct 11, 2008

I'm a big fan of vintage/raw/selvage denim jeans, which is how I got into different kinds of clothing. Looking for 1940's style work boots to go along with them led me here...

just_me · Oct 11, 2008

Years ago I need to come up with a user name for another board and I couldn't think of anything particularly creative and I thought, "well, it's just me."

Maggie is a common nickname for me-- my uncle has called me "Maggie Mae" ever since I was very small. I also love "Harriet the Spy," a child's book that became a film in the 1990s. So, I put the two together and became maggiethespy.

Cute--kinda fits with that mischievous smile and twinkle in your eye, too... Just don't try the "Saffron" act on me, Mal Reynolds is a pushover next to both my literary counterpart and myself...

My husbands family migrated to Australia in the 1920's & they were told it was probably better if they anglisied their surname - I'm reclaiming it.

LordBest · Oct 12, 2008

Best is my surname, and I was nicknamed His Lordship due to my pride and pomposity, and apparently I sound English.

Dearest Binkie, do not fret! A quick dunking of your Bakelite Computing Device in a nice bath of gin will do it wonders!

You are my new favorite Lounger, please keep it coming! We are amused.

V-Sweetheart · Oct 14, 2008

It is the kind of girl I am.......

I am nicer than a Victory Girl, although I am in DC so for Government work.

mannySpaghetti · Oct 14, 2008

I play a lot of games in the Gangster genre and coin myself as quite a cook. Being that gangster's like nicknames, I thought Manny "Spaghetti" was fitting as it's also a dish I love to make and as a matter of fact, made tonight for my family.

Maguire · Oct 14, 2008

Maguire.. just a great generic alias to go by i suppose. Also Jude Law's character in road to perdition.

Diamondback · Oct 15, 2008

@Maguire: Not to mention Russell Maguire, who actually built the guns that bear General Thompson's name... (Just an odd bit of trivia I thought ya might appreciate.)

L Lawliet · Oct 15, 2008

Since you must know.

I, am L. Believe me or not, it doesn't matter, for it is so.

Panache · Oct 15, 2008

Panache is my favorite word and Cyrano de Bergerac my favorite play and character.

I strive in all things in my life to do them with...panache !

"See it there, a white plume
Over the battle - A diamond in the ash
Of the ultimate combustion-My panache"

Cyrano de Bergerac, A. Burgess translation

Cheers

Ace Fedora · Oct 15, 2008

"Ace Fedora" was the name of a comic book I wrote a few years back. "Ace" is the fictional private eye persona of a bored, daydreaming, Walter Mitty-ish accountant.

Replace "accountant" with "computer guy" and it's a pretty accurate description of me.

FStephenMasek · Oct 15, 2008

No hiding - I use my real name.

britishink · Oct 15, 2008

I've been "britishink" online since 1998ish.

I am British and have been living in the USA for 17 years, I tattoo - hence britishink.

I like the alloneword aspect too.

Britishink is the name of my studio. We are the only fully custom tattoo studio in Washington DC.

Lorena B · Oct 15, 2008
