How'd you choose your username....?

[AHTOXA]

I liked slave cylinder, personally.

[potownrob]

potown = poughkeepsie
rob = my name
i am rob from poughkeepsie = i am potownrob

[ClutchDisc]

Mine is my Russian nickname and a derivative of my name (Russian equivalent thereof), spelled in Cyrillic letters, which in upper case are identical (as written) to English but are pronounced differently. Phonetically, in Russian it reads (un-TO-ha).

Oh wow, here I have been severely butchering the pronunciation of your username for the last 8 months!

[ClutchDisc]

Wait... Inlinepaul is Clutchdisc's father?

I did not know this

Me too. I always left the X and pronounced it "a-thocks-uh" and always thought it strange, but never decided to ask.

despite tone-bone having explained it in the past (both at ss meats and on here), i still say it in my head as "atocha" (as in the neighborhood in madrid, spain) and get all nostalgic whenever i see it.

I think of it with a clearing my throat sound to the H, "achh-tocks-uh". Think of Spaceballs, the scene where Yogurt examines Lone Star's medallion.

[AHTOXA]

Hahaha. I probably need to clarify phonetic pronounciation. I may not have been clear earlier. It sounds like un-TOH-hah.

It is an internet name I use and most all forums. Those that know, get it.

That said, I have not used my birth name in, um, way over a decade. I go by Anthony or Tony. That's what's on all my papers - Anthony.

[noob5,000,000]

Standardshift was actually the first forum I ever joined. At the time, I was definitely a noob, and the 5,000,000 just sounded funny to me. I don't know how exactly I settled on 5,000,000.

[watkins]

Watkins is my last name. That is all.

*epiphany*

That explains the uncannily similar taste in automobiles.

Win. Only one man would dare use Raspberry...

You find anything yet? No, sir.

No, sir.

We ain't found s$#%.

Lets see if anyone can put this together and explain it...

My username comes from the fact that I used to coach basketball. I'm white; most of my players were black. That should be all the hint someone here needs.

[mtheis]

We actually did have this thread before. A long time ago.

A couple of times:
http://www.standardshift.com/forum/view ... 14#p226314
http://www.standardshift.com/forum/view ... 98#p176398

Mine is first initial and last name.
