[Michael G73]

Hmm... I think my parents first named me Michael back in the early seventies- it's been with me ever since in various forms (you know, Mikey, Mike, etc.) <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

G73? Last initial, date of birth.

I know, I know, its boring. But having been online for over a decade now with different "screen names" (AOL) and "handles" I decided I just wanted to be... me! <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

Probably the longest used alias for myself was in the early days of America Online- "nighteyze" (so named for a very odd and quirky and sometimes creepy sci-fi / drama novel by the same name, Night Eyes). These days, though, a name like that could be inferred to mean many things it was never meant to mean. Know what I mean? :D

[sam the man..]

Please do not connect me with Sammo Hung Kum Poh a.k.a Martial Law. The real Sammo is infact, a member of an opera troupe in Southern China. His contemporaries Jacky Chan and Yuen Biao. Samuel was my given name. I chose samo 'cos its a four-letter word that suites my network logon. I've tooo many nicknames to remember....

[BladeMaster]

The BladeMaster.
I guess I chose it because I've been collecting knives since I was 7 years old in the first grade. When it comes to knives, I am the most knowledgable person that I know.(not to sound concieted or anything) "The BladeMaster" just fits.

[Philip357]

Not very original ...
Philip : my name ... and because there are so many
357 : the caliber of my S&W

[lokelani]

Lokelani........
I lived in Hawaii for 20 some odd years. During this time, my other half gave me a gift of some Hawaiian Heritage jewelry. He had "Lokelani' enameled on it. I have used this handle since Ironstone in Kona. "Loke" means "Rose" (my last name) and "Lani" is heavenly.

[dePaul]

Well my name is Paul and my surname begins with a D (not very innovative). I use this nickname on all the forums around.

[GronK]

I picked up my nick way back in '69 during my third year in Vietnam. A couple of FNG's saw me in the "day after the night before" mode and decided I resembled the BC comic character with that name. Besides that, my given name is in the middle!

Ron

[earthworm]

I was gunslinger in a New Age chatroom because I'm a gun nut*G*.After a devistating life-change a cyberfriend suggested I visualise this as a natural disaster(fire,flood,etc)& what would survive.I chose the lowly earthworm:the small wriggling one who never gives up;never quits wriggling until he's dead.Besides,I'm a earthy kinda guy*G*.

[cutler34]

I was given the name in a chatroom a few years ago. They thought it was appropriate cause I fix peoples knives for them.
