HOW DID YOU COME UP WITH YOUR BOARD USERNAME?

[FSWer]

Say, I don't believe this has ever been talked about...and I hope it's ok to ask this. But today I'd like to ask you all how you came up with your board username. Mine is actually the abbreviation of our old message board (Figure Skating World) FSWer. What about you all?

 

[purple skates]

Favorite color ——>purple
What I like to do ——>skates

 

[kalamalka]

I named myself after the lake where I spent my childhood summers, both because I love the lake and I've always liked the way the name flows. Nothing to do with skating - I used it in several places in early internet days.

 

[Desperado]

The Eagles' song was my favourite for a while.

 

[Kelleys6th]

I'm my parents 6th child

 

[ChelleC]

My nickname is Chelle, and my last name begins with the letter C. So I use ChelleC.

 

[skateboy]

When I was young and competing, some friends called me Skateboy. I suppose now I am Skateman, lol.

 

[Judy]

I just use my first name as I’m not very creative lol. Seriously not at all creative.

 

[taz'smum]

My daughter is the Tasmanian Devil!

 

[airgelaal]

It's the title of one of my favorite songs, but backwards.

 

[CantALoop]

When I created my account, the loop was my worst jump, so I thought of something along the lines of "can't loop" (ironically, it became my best jump after my late 20s), and I happened to recently hear the song of the same name on the radio at the time.

 

[once_upon]

I was reading a fairy tale to young people

 

[Jot the Dot Dot]

Real name: Jeremy Denton, common usage name Jerry. Growing up, there were three families, the Dwyers, the Nelsons and the Dentons. In my teens, some started calling me 'Jer The Denton'. Soon that morphed into Jot the Dot Dot, for reasons I never understood but found humorous. Hence the Username.

 

[Reuven]

Just used my Hebrew name.

 

[Matryeshka]

I collect Russian nesting dolls, but the more typical spellings were taken.

 

[skipaway]

As I love thoroughbred horse racing, Skip Away was one of my favorite race horses.
