Pretty easy... first name plus last name first letter plus 900.... I was trying to get an AOL IM name, and all the jeffreyj's were taken! So I went with jeffreyj900

So the real question is then...

Why 900?

 

[Nak Man]

Wow .. great background guys ! Wish I put more thoughts when signing here and came up with better name like shebangs or something like that.

My call name on other groups is nakmaniak, just to be polite I changed it slightly here. Hope I can revert back to original because it sounds so ... maniac. Now that I'm cured from that sickness of grabbing many vintage nakamichis, I've become your average phones collecting sick guy.

I still have more nak decks than phones though. [size=xx-small]And just yesterday I saw this beautiful tandberg 3014 ...[/size]

 

[1911]

1911 is a tribute to the time tested .45 ACP caliber 1911 semiautomatic pistol. i was a 9mm fan until i got my hands on this beauty....

 

[Bunnyears]

bunny was a childhood nickname, and you use headphones on your ears, right?

 

[neil]

My real name's Bart, and I thought Neil was more sexy.

 

[Carbonman]

When I first got email, a friend that I cycled with signed an email to me D___ "Ironman" _______, appropriate because he rode a steel frame bike. Both of us are too old to be serious athletic contenders, though we did some triathalon relays. I replied with a signature of "Carbonman". My bike frame is (and always will be!) carbon fiber. The moniker stuck, and I also use it on Audiokarma and Audio Asylum.

 

[mjg]

wow, a carbon fiber bike.

must be expensive

 

[redshifter]

i liked the name "squarepusher", but didn't want to copy it. so shape became color and push came to shift. strangely i've never heard squarepusher. most call me red, shifter, or in one case "redhissfitter".

And all the time I believed it had to do with either astronomy or oceanology.

[Nisbeth]

My username is simply my last name. AFAIK it is originally of scottish origin, complete with tartan and all

I've used the same name on a number of other forums that I registered on some years back. Now I have a few others I prefer

/U.

 

[trevorlane]

i actually made the name up (TrevorLane) and it has nothing to do with my real name.

Anyway, everybody said to me "don't use your name", so I didn't.
