So - whats the story behind your user name? reasons - or just madness - post here and share the stories.

I'll start - the story behind the name meyshollop is one day in maths i put my arm on the keyboard and it spelt myshllllllp - a few modifictions and Viola - Meyshollop was born ! :D

EPIC (Enhanced Personal Industrial Computer) was a product that I designed and marketed through my company "In Touch Controls Limited" plus my initials MEK making EPICMEK was my email user name for years.
 
Whats in a name!

Mine is from my business firm I made here in Romania and the Yahoo mail with its name. For my creations, which I would prefer to be my user name, it from the ranch name I used for the part of my father's cattle ranch that he left to me, IE= MonkeyWrench Ranch. The model of the house I made for Trainz also holds this title.
 
My initials are ADL and when I needed to sort a username I couldnt think of anything!! I was looking to use something with my initials and because I was fiddling with the keybard seeking inspiration it became adadadl.....its the best that I could manage at the time:confused:
 
Well, the first album of music that I really liked and listened to was American Idiot by Green Day. One of my favorite songs on it was called St. Jimmy. So I took the name and made it one word - saintjimmy, and it stuck. Many times I'll use a number like 13, 14, 15, or 16 to show what age I was when I signed up for a particular forum or program. I am in no way affiliated with any saint named Jimmy. :p
 
I'm a big Radiohead fan and Myxomatosis is one of my favorite tracks by them.

You should listen to it. It was on "Hail to the thief".
 
The elevator version: CincySouthernRwy OUGHT to be self-explanatory.

The long, more interesting version: It's a diminutive for "Cincinnati Southern Railway", the only common-carrier railroad owned by a municipality.

Since the City of Cincinnati didn't want to be in the railroad business after building it between 1869 and 1880. Incidentally, the starting date of 1869 coincides with the formation of the first professional sports team, the Cincinnati Redstockings, known today as the Cincinnati Reds.

The new operating company was called the Cincinnati, New Orleans & Texas Pacific. In 1895, Southern Railway purchased an interest in the CNO&TP, acquired controlling interest in 1917, and then bought out Baltimore & Ohio's interest (inherited from CH&D) in 1954. Technically, the CNO&TP still exists today as a unit of Norfolk Southern and pays about $9 million in rent annually to the City of Cincinnati. The contract stipulates that CNO&TP must keep the CS technologically and structurally sound and up-to-date.

There!

This should be self explanitory.

I have loved the ship R.M.S TITANIC since 3rd grade when I started watching the movie. I became fascinated with the story of the sinking and well it just became a hobby of mine to be a fanatic of ships that wrecked and were famous for them.

So putting titanic and lover together became titaniclover!

Cheers,

I played MSTS until I bought Trainz, and when I registered here, I thought "train simulator" and switched them around to "disguise" it lol.
 
Mine is just random,
when i was signing up for a different game's forum, my friend said he had already created me one, Mitch123abc, so it put it in an put in the password he had created me, mitch, I didn't work. So, just being random, i wrote my name again and put the next 3 numbers after 123, 456. Then i was looking for letters, for a split second:hehe: , then found the letter 'y' under '6'. So i did 'y' and its two buddies, 'u' and 'i'. Have a look at your keyboard, It'll make sense...
So I have used this name on whatever site I needed to sign up for, on Razorback Railway, im Mitch456yui, on TPR, Mitch456yui (only signed up so i could get some downloads i wanted:hehe: ) and on ImageShack, Mitch456yui.

not too clever, but i'm sure there were some who didnt make the connection. I tried not to be too specific, because I didnt want a username to dictate my content.

cheers,
