Where does your user name come from?

[CCoil]

Old school. First initial + last name. Used since the BBS days of the 80's. Sometimes people are thrown by the use of capitals followed by, coincidentally, a real word.

[*ShoSho*]

from my real name :shifty:

[CrashG]

Mine comes from a string of crashes at the race track (Road Atlanta) one year. It started out as Flash Gordon because I was usually fast, but then I had a really bad weekend and from then on everyone refers to as Crash Gordon and it just kinda stuck.

[metallithrax]

Metallica Anthrax

i'd tell you, but first i need to find out. i think it has something to do with my name being Brian. made it up like almost 10 years ago. lately though i've been using CyBrian which i got many years ago as well (forgot where that came from too) and even later i've been using brianrecchia (last name's Recchia) and past 2-4 weeks i've been using XJustACrosshairx

[tony-inpo]

My name + my old bands name - In No Particular Order. Should change it really as I'm no longer in the band.

[tao muon]

tao- the basic, eternal principle of the universe that transcends reality and is the source of being, non-being, and change.

muon- an elementary particle with a negative charge and a half-life of 2 microseconds

It's a play on words as well- 'tao' (substitued for 'tau') and 'muon'. Both are elementary particles belonging to the same family (lepton) as the electron. Both have short lifetimes and occur naturally when charged particles enter the Earth's atmosphere. However, given their exceptionally short lifespans, we should not be able to detect them on the surface of the Earth since even at the speed of light they should decay before they 'hit the ground', but we do detect them.

So I saw it as natural to equate those particles with the principles of transcending reality and causing change.

And it fits in well with my blend of spirituality.

[.Enigmatik]

Originally it was Darkprophet on another site. After a brief info leak I had to conceal my identity until the details were forgotten. So then came the name 4.9. Eventually I got tired of it and considered Enigmatic, but then at the IFSZ I noticed a ton of people using . as a prefix and "k" in place of "c's" at the ends of names. And thus the name ".Enigmatik" was born.

as for the information leak on my identity, that's another story. ;)

[Babydoll]

I dont know why. I just liked it haha.
