How did you choose your username?

Just curious really, there is such a variety of cool usernames here I wondered what everyones thinking was behind them?

Mine is because I have the mental age of about 5 and loved the joke Micheal sent to Walt from hospital - "Whats black and white and red all over? A sunburned penguin!" tickled me that did

Great idea for a thread!!

Mine was born from frustration when I was trying to sign up to youtube and every name I tried was already in use (it was late)

Ah yes I know that frustration well lol, I play an MMORPG and trying to get a decent name that isnt already taken is a nightmare

mine is really pretty boring actually, chirpey is just a nickname i have had for years because i never shut up and everybody says i chirp on lol, then i just added by birth year. Nothing special or origional but it works for me

Thats my name lol, it was before I re-watched that episode and had a revelation

I don't think i have met anyone named Jax before (no offense) its just not common..

was wondering if yours was a suggestion as to your attitude towards being very up for joining in ....?

Puchu is a nickname my dad gave me when i was little. It's pronounce Poo-shoo. haha. So Puchita [poo-shee-tha] it is.

mamacass b/c tangientally related to the show (vis a vis musical cameos) and b/c i was previously so nicknamed by a former roommate of mine (as i was a "house-mother" of sorts and my birth name is cassandra).

Well I have this name on funtrivia.com website, because I really like Lilo and Stitch.

However for the Lost site it is appropriate because

Stitch is a Disney production as is Lost

Lilo and Stitch set in Hawaii and Lost is filmed there

I look like an alien .. (just joking) (well I hope I am joking)


Stitch

My eldest son is called Jude and when he was a baby we used to nickname him 'obscure' b/c of the classic novel 'Jude the Obscure'. Because obscure can mean 'to hide' I use it when 'obscuring' my true identity! I have never meant 'obscure' in the sense of 'weird' but I do like its double-meaning.

Mine is obviously directly pulled from the show's dialogue. However, before I went back and rewatched that episode to make sure I was quoting it verbatim, I was thinking he said something like "Dude, you've got a chunk of Arzt on you," so I was gonna be ChunksOfArzt. He says, "Dude, you've got some Arzt on you," though. At least I was right about the "dude" part. Hurley's vocabulary is so predictable.

My nickname is Sami and I added Lost to it for obvious reasons!

Because it was Destiny.....fate

Yeah there is that too..

btw I love your avatar

I chose mine because it represented to me a way to incorporate three of the main Characters names hence; Kate-Sawyer-Jack.

Because of a picture I saw. Haha still tickles me.

1337 is for Leet-speek (nerds like myself will know what this is, or, google will haha) and Jacqui is my name

the 1337 part actually starts with a lowercase L though because most screennames don't let you start with a number, and a lowercase L looks just like a 1 haha

haha omgz pwnd!!!!!!

Not WOW is it?

Hahahaha

It's more like:

|-|3110 5|_||\|8|_||2|\|3|) |>3|\|9|_|1|\|!!!!

Translate:
"Hello sunburned penguin!!!!"

I'll never get 133t speak, way too much effort lol

hahaha yep!
