    i was meant to be called drunKman... but when i signed up I was drunk and mis-spelled it... I also didnt mean to sign up to Pearl Jam.. I thought it was a website about Japanese women and where they hid their jewelery.
    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    It's just what people shout at me all the time - so figured it was my name.

    It was that, or "Oi, ****!"

    when i went to sign up for the synergy message pit back in '99, i wanted to use the name InnocentBystander. obviously that was taken, so it was evident i couldn't be innocent, so i went prefixed it with "un" and dropped the "bystander". i held on to "uninnocent" for a long time, then the board changed, and i was never able to reactivate my user name, so i appended a hyphen at the end of my name, hence uninnocent-. i'd much prefer it sans the dash, but whatever, i've learned to live with it.

    of course, i used to always say that i picked my name because i'm not quite innocent, but that's just too easy an answer.

    I could never lie to Cate. In all honesty, my thinktank consisted of me and my three cats wearing aluminum foil hats while lounging around a hopscotch court.

    I just honestly couldn't think of anything, and this was the first thing that popped into my head. I'd prefer to change it to FlyingPirahna now, though, since I go by it on a lot of forums.
    Thanks EPOTTSIII!

    My mom wanted to name me Oona (I cannot remember the inspiration for this). But, the decision of what to name me turned out to be what was one of maybe three compromises she made with my father :lol:

    hey went with something boring.

    Left as the "last name," because Wright is last name - why not Left? I've considered spelling it with the double "L" (as in Lloyd), just so it is differentiated from the direction.
  • Who Princess
    Who Princess out here in the fields Posts: 7,305
    At a job I had many years ago, my wild and crazy co-workers nicknamed me The Princess (very long story) and it stuck. I tend to use Princess as my screen name but sometimes I find it's already taken so I add something to it. That's what happened when I joined 10C. Since The Who are my favorite band I went with whoprincess. Not very imaginative and I sometimes wish I'd thought about it longer and picked a song title.

    When I went to the VH1 Rock Honors, since I was going to be meeting a lot of people who only knew me as Princess on various Who boards, I found someone to make me a special tiara just for the occasion. A friend of mine took this picture of it:
