Feel free to add an an entry about your username below!


kpodesta

Because that's my real name. I thought Redbrick was some email yoke - all else fails, I was getting a decent email address.

noelfitz

8 letter truncation of my real name (boring but true.)

svan

Sarunas Vancevicius. First letter of name, then first 3 letters from surname.

fox_chic

Cause I'm an xphile and Mulder's first name is Fox. :)

bilco

Cause as a fresher I though it was the character's name from The Hobbit

art_wolf

Cool picture I have hanging up. Have had it for ages and its by Art Wolfe.

singer

I was a singer in a band. The guitarist mocked me for being the singer by calling me "singer". The nickname stuck. Non-Redbrick people address me as singer! My 2nd choice username was "scano".

shimoda

It was a character in a book (Illusions by Richard Bach) I read during my formative years. Another rb user thought the description of the protagonist was suited to me so I nabbed the name.

sandman

I didn't. It was assigned on the basis that a) I was asleep and b) I read comics, didn't I? Ironically, I hadn't read much Sandman at the time.

lithium

Coz I like the sound of it. And coz it goes crazy when you put it in water. And not because of the Nirvana song.

cammy

I was using it as a web handle long before I joined Redbrick. It comes from the name of one of my first roleplaying characters that wasn't just a bunch of stats. The name for that roleplaying character though, came from the computer game Streetfighter 2.

Well actually cammy was my second choice. I would have liked to use The_Dead_One but that exceeds the 8 character limit.

moridin

The most evil and therefore cool character in a series of books that I was reading. Said series of books has since degenerated into a mush of crap writing. Boo.

macbain

He wanted the username 'mcbain' but Karlos (mcbain) got it before him. Being original, Sarv decided that macbain would do instead, so he could forever confuse new users between himself and Karl.
