how did you come up with your "member" name??

[takethecastle57]

Ok my "Handle" here is appropriate in many ways . The house that i grew up in was a 3 story brick in Milwaukee, Wis with a solid brick garage in back with a honest to goodness chimney on it and the kids would think it was a manor . The reference is to a chess move . In the Army the saying was "Take the objective " . the 57 is my birth year.
Or the very 1st Japanese Pachinko that i purchased was a Castle machine from Toys R Us back in 1976 and I've been hooked ever since then.

outdoorenth is short for outdoor enthusiast. I used to live in Southern CA. Now I'm in TX and miss all the outdoor activities I used to be involved with out there (snowboarding, mountain biking, kayaking, hiking, body boarding, etc.). I can do some out here, but it's just too darn hot here during the summer, not to mention very flat, with dirty beaches, no snow...<sigh>

[mcknli7]

mine is just my aol username which is part of my last name and my first initial off my first name and then just a random number

[Sederien]

The name Sederien was created from a fictional language made for a novel I'm still tossing around ideas for. It translates to "Nameless One."

Literally, however, it translates to "Beyond Naming" (sed = beyond, er = name, and ien = our English equivalent of 'ing'). However it reads more as an insult or slur and is therefore more appropriately translated as Nameless One.

Yes... I put entirely too much thought into the name, but I feel it necessary for a well crafted story.

So your real name is Clint Eastwood ?

No, no... He played the Man with No Name. Not Nameless One.

[owennewton]

I swear I did this but did not see a post from myself so...

way back in 97 when I was setting up my AOhelL account, I was having trouble finding a screen name that was available so I went with my grandfathers first and middle names Owen Newton (Owen is my middle name) and it has almost always been available for me on sites when I sign up (youtube and g-mail are the only exceptions) so I guess I am not very original but it gives me a good alter ego.

** I use "Rustingdodge" too sometimes

[new in town]

You probably won't want to hear that I did the opposite - I used to live in Houston, and moved to Los Angeles. It's SO much nicer out here!

Damn, was I rubbing that in? SO sorry...

As for my username, duh (take your best guess).

PS - Love Nausicaa...

Thanks a lot! Sometimes I just can't stand this weather and the mosquitoes, but we would probably have to live in a small townhouse or apartment if we ever moved back and not this lovely house we have.

Nausicaa is awesome and Hayao Miyazaki is the best!

[Sederien]

Nausicaa is awesome

Agreed.

and Hayao Miyazaki is the best!

Debatable. Strong competition nonetheless.

[ultramanst]

obvious,its the first pachi i got...

[psyduck]

It's pretty obvious in my case just look at my avatar.

[Sid]

and here I thought it was a Crazy platypus...

[seaburnroker]

Must have missed this one previously, my name is the great "twin resorts" of the town I was born and brought up in. Great childhood memories of the twin beaches - the only problem is you need to wear an over coat here for most of the year. If you need to know the name of the town, now a City, Google Seaburn and/or Roker.

[RaymondV]

First name and last initial
Hard one huh?

[dattia]

Hah...Mine is the opposite... First initial and last name!

[luckydog]

I thought it meant attia girl

[frompkin]

Named after a character in a book, who was renamed when the author's edition came out - and it's now almost impossible to find the original edition. So yeah. Obscure sci-fi reference ftw.
