The origin of my sceenname.

**Whitehouse** · August-01-10, 05:42 PM

I have always been fond of actor Paul Whitehouse.

Me? The 13nd duke of Wimborne?

Cracks me up everytime!

Or Rowdey Birkin Q.C.

Cairo!

NO!

Paul Whitehouse

Happy to have you aboard!

I got mine from my music.Michael Stipes. Hardcore REM fan...

**kryptonite** · August-02-10, 12:29 PM

Kryptonite - I don't know what possessed me to pick that name. The only origin is the Superman comic series. I was something of a fan when I was a teenager, but I never had any affinity to Superman's toxic home planet remnants.

My real name's Jim and I lived in Arizona when I signed up. Happy to be back in Michigan -- hopefully forever.

Great idea for a thread. I've often wondered why people picked their name.

The origin of "lodgedodger" are pretty obvious, I think. ;-)

I think it's hilarious most posters think lodgedodger is a guy.

Oh wow, I've not yet been banned.

Are you a fan of Dead Letter Office, say Walter's BBQ?

**TKshreve** · August-02-10, 02:51 PM

Mine has to do with my name. Initials and crap.

**Ray1936** · August-02-10, 03:30 PM

Mine's pretty obvious. First name and YOB. No imagination here, I guess.

I am a nerd and I live in Detroit.

Because you are always avoiding me at parties?

First came to this site almost 10 years ago when looking around for information on the Leland House hotel. It used to house people for military entrance processing back in 1987, which is how I ended up staying there. I took the name Sarge because I was a Staff Sgt. when I got out.

Back in the 70s there was some Detroit radio personality who often referred to his wife as "sarge." Always guaranteed a laugh. Who was that?

**Mama Jackson** · August-02-10, 06:30 PM

Fairly obvious, I am a mom. However, one of my son's friends started calling me Mama Jackson when he would visit and it caught on with his group. I don't normally use my name online, but since there are more than 10,000,000 bi-zillion Jackson's in the world...I feel safe.

**turkeycall** · August-02-10, 07:09 PM

If you say my last name with a short "o" three times, it sounds like a hunter's turkey call. Bullet could verify that.

**Blueidone** · August-02-10, 07:14 PM

I have blue eyes...

**Patrick** · August-02-10, 08:13 PM

Wheel of Fortune fan here so....

Ummm, yes. Sorry...you're just not my type.

I guessed that when I noticed my name's AZ turned to az. Clever code.
