How did you pick your username?

[masta247]

And I mean Streethop username or any other login (if you use different login names elsewhere).

The reason I'm asking this because I'm in the process of thinking on a good username for my gmail account that would be easy to spell/understand for people from Poland as well as for people from abroad. And I don't want a silly username that I couldn't use for more serious contacts.
My old username that I use for most things which is: "szymon247" doesn't really do the job since most English-speaking people seem to find it hard to spell/understand/remember.
Szymon = Simon in Polish which is my first name. This was also the reason why years ago I picked this silly username for Streethop.
Most short nicknames with "Simon" are taken on gmail and creating one with first name and surname seems a little silly, especially since my surname might be hard to spell too.
Right now Google suggests me a nickname consisting of "Simon" and some ridiculously high number after that and "Simon82143502194721" doesn't look any better than my current username.

I'm out of ideas and I'm searching for some inspiration here lol
Also, I'm curious about stories behind your Streethop nicknames.

 

[Ristol]

My username has no beginning and no end.

 

[yak pac fatal]

my favorite outlaw members

 

[Tha_Wood]

because i liked Tha Row, and my last name is eastwood, so i combined it to Tha_Wood.

dont ask me where the underscore comes from though.

my other account names are generally duckdude24, because i like ducks

 

[Flipmo]

I wanted Flipmode, but some asshole took it from me. So I said, HAYYY - I'll be original and take out the D.E

So I am now, Flipmo, but I am formally known at Da-vid (David) ... or Da-vy (Davy).

You want my great history?

I began in the winter of 2005, my junior year in high school. I had found the SH news site and used to actually read it for the news. One day, I saw the download link to the Pistol Pistol remix and found out there was actually a forum. Because I was scared to use Limewire at the time and and didn't know of torrents, I immediately flocked to the download section of the board and got mixtapes and singles like crazy. I signed up as "tennis_dog." It was a yahoo! name made for me by friends when I started doing Fantasy Sports and didn't know how to make one. It was Spring, tennis season, and a friend that ran track knew I was on the team so made a random screenname and then gave me the log in details afterwards. I was also banned on RGF with this same username as well as with "lifeofpi." I was so legendary, it took years for people to surpass my combined posts of those two accounts. Now, I'm more civil on there and haven't been banned in two years. Hoor-coon!!



After making a name for myself amongst...everyone... I was banned for saying I hated Muslims and Islam, yet no one seemed to be offended by it. Just the mods being a bunch of moon crickets.

Next, I came back as dilla, just a random name I made thinking I would be banned immediately. I wasn't. So I stuck around again dissing the likes of the now-defunct-faggot Bachi and Bobby Sands as my last hurrah. I let one "n1gger" slip and found myself banned again. I think I said "coon" to Sigh as well....just for lulz.

People thought it was for J. Dilla. It wasn't. I hate his shit. He is a faggot. J. Dilla cannot produce a good beat. You know why? Cuz he's dead.

And here I am, blumpkin, another quick name made because I thought I was gonna be banned again. I already explained a few times what a "blumpkin" was. If I stick around long enough, maybe someone will change my name to "coonass" my favorite phrase to use when I'm angry, but may not sit well with a Creole from New Orleans.

 

[Shadows]

masta_simon or MastaSimon247 did u try that?

Anyway,

There are always these threads and I always remember a new reason.

I remember it being sunny the day I was making a name up, and as I was looking outside I remembered being surrounded by shadows and i was once told my personality was like shadows because i was one way one one morning and another way a few hours later. I tend to show my emotions and just go with it.

...I also think I saw a Mr.Shadow or some shit screen name and I didn't want to be THAT unoriginal so I just said Shadows. Anywhere I got it's NEVER taken.

 

[Cooper]

It's my name.

 

[Duke]

In an old joke from waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay back in the day I was the Duke of Wellington.

LOL I'm sure it had a meaning.. I just can't remember. I'm also sure i've answered this question on the board before.. so the answer is out there somewhere.
