What made you guys pick the name you have as your member name?

For me the girls back in school used to call me daunwaun, they used to say " we 'daunwaun' you around"

Rawhyde · 26 September 2007, 11:46 AM

I used to work in a foundry with some pretty rough characters. I had a ratty looking leather jacket at the time, and a pretty raucious sense of humor....they tagged me as Rawhyde. I've had that as a nickname and screen name ever since.

Rawhyde

Have had three incidents/run ins with wild Leopards. Once in SouthAfrica, Once in Nepal, and Once in Cambodia. So figure I must be Leopard Prey!!!

...as for me, I just used my first name and the name of the city where I live.

roadcarver · 26 September 2007, 01:53 PM

I ride a motorcycle and like to ride and drive, hence "roadcarver".

JJ Irani · 26 September 2007, 02:03 PM

JAD3703 · 26 September 2007, 08:24 PM

Nothing exciting or special for me - the initials (JAD) and the last four digits of my first telephone number (3703).

James

Al + Canada = Alcan. Well, sometimes I can't.

wandyprawira · 26 September 2007, 08:30 PM

Guess everyone knows that I use my full name. I thought it was just for details and we got the chance later to put another nick name in sign up process.

And worse, I can't change the nick name after the sign up.

SPACE-DWELLER · 26 September 2007, 09:58 PM

Look "Spacedweller" up in Rolex books, nice story about that rare Rolex "Explorer" model

Here is a quote from the book "The Rolex Report" by John E. Brozek:

"In 1963, Rolex launched what would prove to be the most sought after model in the Explorer line, the Space-Dweller (model 1016). This version of the Explorer was to commemorate a visit to Japan by NASA's Mercury Astronauts".

I found it was a good name, since I "dwell" (stay, live) here on this web "SPACE" TRF a lot

Here is a pic of the "Spacedweller" Rolex:

Teofilo · 26 September 2007, 10:22 PM

Teofilo was the name of a Champion racehorse that was going to win me a lot of money (and pay for a SS Daytona with the loose change)........I had him(as the last horse) in doubles and trebles from the previous seasons racing.
He was a red hot favourite for the 2000 Guineas at Newmarket......and was withdrawn with a career ending injury the day before the race...........sod's law strikes again!

I keep the name to remind me that there is no such thing in racing(or life) as an absolute certainty !!!!!!

Seadweller · 26 September 2007, 11:02 PM

I picked Seadweller because it's soooooooooooooooooooo

exclusive.

Paulie · 26 September 2007, 11:56 PM

I didn't want to be a four letter word here.

timebroker · 27 September 2007, 12:18 AM

Self explanatory I think.

roadcarver · 27 September 2007, 12:21 AM

I thought Daunwaun was just a funny way of spelling "Don Juan" LOL!

Maybe the girl and the car have something in common? Like the back seat?
