[Dingus]

Mine is from a Simpsons episode.
Bart and Lisa wind up as foster children and Cletus and his wife decide to rename them.

Cletus says "your new names are Dingus Squatford jr. and Pamela Anderson Lee".

Lisa replies "but I like my old name"

To which Cletus' wife replies "you hush up there Dingus"

[TheMightyThor]

Hail!

Thor flirted with many unworthy names, until a fated night down the pub whence I hadn't bothered to shave (and was thus sporting a manly beard), I was being exceptionally vociferous whilst tanked on Man-Beer, singing many songs, and quoting Vice City's Thor character.

Cue chump across the bar, yelling, "Check out that Thor guy over there!"
I replied; "Hail! Thor is mighty!"

Thor was born.

[MrGnomer]

  I actually robbed a friend for mine.

  I collect garden gnomes as an unusual hobby, and my friend stole my gnoming habbits for his yahoo ID, so I stole it back for on here.  Simple!

  If I recall correctly, the profile under yahoo was Reginald Thorton F. Gnomer III, Mr_Gnomer for short.

[AkGuy]

I'm a guy who lives in Alaska.  Not terribly clever, but all I could think of at the time.

[doggo]

So you're not a collector of Kalashnikovs?  

[Highway]

Well,  I think this is a suitable place to introduce myself.

My name originates from my love of what I call highway rock (creapy rock music to listen to while driving on the interstates in the middle of the night).  Songs akin to When the Music's Over by the Doors and Let Love in Loverman by Nick Cave and the Badseeds.

[Fargin_Icehole]

It's Roman Moronie from Johnny Dangerously.

Moronie's thing was his profane dialogue, disguised with mispronunciations such as Fargin Icehole (fucking asshole), Lousy Corksuckers (lousy cocksucker), Sominumbitches (sons of bitches) and of course the liberal use of Fargin (fucking) Played by Richard Dimitri.

[notty]

I got in the habit long ago of spelling naughty 'n-o-t-t-y.'  My name is notty because I am.  

It is was either that or my real name, Mordred Gleepers.

[Stretcherr]

well mine's kind of boring and self explanatory...come to think of it so am i.

d'oh!!

[traX]

My name does not mean anything. It is a good place to hide.
1999 my real identity was spotted by a stalker, and I lost some money, some friends, and a very good customer. Strange to attend a business meeting where everybody has a printout of your latest morph... Had to let the poor virtual guy die in public, which he wilfully did. No more tracks was my motto thereafter, and if you type my monicker into Google, you'll get 3.4 million pages... Being paranoid does not mean they're not after you...

[KBTs]

When at University, knowing my predilection my best friend would say "BTs" (Bee-Tees) whenever we were together and a (to him) well-endowed woman would enter the field of view.  I would then chide him that "Nah; those are way too dinker" or some such admonition that my standard for BTs was incredibly larger.  Thus, he coined "KBTs" (Kay-Bee-Tees) since my name starts with a "K" and I then had my own special category far beyond "BTs".

[Katheb]

Katheb

It means Lier In my language

I guess i use it because

1:It is not a popular name on the net {tis all mine!}

2:It shows what i am on the inside My true personality that is shown to only my closest of freinds in real life roams freely on the net using this alias.

3:I am not an actuall lier in real life [but if i can use words that are not lies to aviod the truth then i use em,if not then i tell the truth ]

there is a longer deeper truth to the origin of this name but i wish to keep that a secret for only a few know what that truth is.

[Shara]

<<<self explanatory>>>

[humblefool]

I took this name because I couldn't think of anything else - I stuck with it because it's suprisingly not taken at most places (I've only seen it on someone else once).  Besides, having a constant reminder of a good way to live your life is nice.

[NotElvis]

Mine definitively states that I am not, in fact, Elvis.

Of course, I'm not quite a number of other people as well.

Anyway, I got it from this old game that I think came out in the 486/early-Pentium days called Worms.  Basically teams of earthworms, in a turn-based system, use absurdly heavy weaponry in an attempt to kill everyone else on all other teams.  Much terraforming occurs as a side-effect.

You could give the worms names, and have team-names.  There were several voice-pack files, including SoulMen (the worms all sound like James Brown), BeavButt (Beavis and Butt-Head voices), Scots (exaggerated Scottish accents), Python (lines from Monty Python), and numerous others... including NotElvis, which in fact makes all of them sound JUST like Elvis Presley.

So, I stole if from there.  Plus, I admit, when someone asks who I am, I love telling them that I'm "not Elvis".


As a side-note: I took an IQ test once, and, like MissChievous, came up as having an IQ of 147.  I don't know if there's any significance to that or not.

Which is 1 point less than Nimrod's 148.  I don't know if there's any significance to that, either.

EDIT: In addition, while I thought I was the only person using the NotElvis moniker, well, it turns out that for email purposes, somebody already took [email protected] . . weird . . so I had to use notelvisjr for that.

Strangely, when I tried to email [email protected], it says the account doesn't exist.  Yet I can't create it, either.
