My real life name is Melissa, but I think it's funny to call myself Mils
And it wouldn't let me have just that as my username, so I shoved a Miss at the front to be ladylike haha :rotfl:0 -
Mine in unimaginative! I live on a Crescent. 25 is my current age (but don't think it was when I first joined, but I liked it as a number!)
Usually I go by lauzc87 (twitter, email, usernames) - lauz is my nickname, c my surname and 87 the year I was born.0 -
I originally registered using my surname and birth year, but someone I know recognised me and I felt a bit inhibited so asked the mods for a name change.
I wanted something random and non-identifying, so I'm called gentle orange because I'd just got back from Sainsbury's and that's the colour of their carrier bags!0 -
Hi,
well I didnt have any hesitation deciding what my MSE name would be when I first joined MSE and I chose Tulip because I love them as flowers and thats how I got the name Tulip0 -
I generally use a combination from Howling Mad Rik XIV, here, just madrik.
Quite a combination of reasons...
Rik as it's my name (well abbreviated from Richard), so that it would fit in arcade high score tables in the 80's
The Howling Mad came from Murdoch in the A-Team
Which was added in when playing a game called 'Wings' on the Amiga, which being a WWI flying game, I also added the XIV to add that touch of nobility.
And to save time signing in, I abbreviate it occasionally0 -
Mine originates from the early days of dial up and aol, was a young lad. Its my word for the sound when the !!!!! hits the pan (or water as is the case!)
Sorry not a comper but was too enticed by the thread!0 -

Kiki comes from the studio ghibli film kiki's delivery service about a witch and her cute cat
The number 725 is because i almost never get a user name which doesnt require additional numbers as the original name has already been taken and i use the same three numbers everywhere. I think 725 came from neopets originally!:starmod:Everyone's a star and deserves the right to twinkle:starmod:0 -

I was AOL and dial up too...
Always remember getting shouted at to get off the pc so my parents could use the phone....My light may be on, but that doesn't always mean I am looking at the PC - I am far more likely to be cuddling or feeding Tianna atm, so please don't think I am ignoring you if I don't reply quickly
Our Precious Baby Tianna has now joined our Family, she is much loved and very welcome, xxx0
