Pugwash is the handle I use on the less reputable sites where I don't use my real name. It started out as a name I used in piracy circles in the 1980s, as Captain Pugwash is my favourite pirate.

what a great thread idea...really cool to see what all of your usernames mean.
I'll post mine, because its SO original, in a few.
When I originally started going on forums, I really wanted Pepe. When I was at U of S, I wrote for the campus newpaper under the pen name Pepe Cortez (my real name is Curtis). As all the forums I wanted to join had Pepe already taken, I used the name of my co-writer, Miquel Sanchez.
Great stories keep it going. I posted this to truly see that Flavor Flav really is....

M's my first initial and Luman is my last name. nuthin special
My username comes from the Rush song "By-Tor and the Snow Dog".. from one of their early albums "Fly By Night".
Ironically, it's one of my least favorite songs (and albums) from the band. I picked it because it sounds cool. ;)
I love reading and learning about the original Frogmen that started the Panerai craze....I really got interested in the history of the company and where they came from.
I guess my obsession with Pams spawned FROGMAN!....THE END!
General Maximus Decimus Meridius. . . Gladiator is one of my favorite movies, but "Maximus" seems to go fast on forums, so I tried out Meridius and ended up sticking with it.

Mines an engine from the Honda Civic Vti (Si in USA). 160-4ishBHP standard from a 1.6, was the first engine to create more than 100bhp per litre.
Mine comes from a character in one of Plato's stories, just been using it for years after thinking it was a cool name.
Phaedo, or the four (unconvincing to me) arguments for the existence/immortality of the soul and or gods. You can read this book and spend years on it....I did a mere 3 months on it...:(

rmf = rap master flash, 1972 = birth year
a friend of mine gave me that nickname because i am the average white guy next door, he thought it was funny (we do get a good laugh out of it), and it's stuck
similar story to my nick: my head was empty and the nick comes from the first spot that comes into my mind, hahaQuote:

The wife and I were trying for a baby for awhile, and we kept that to ourselves (and immediate family). Hence, 'mums' the word as they say and 'mum' as is mommy/mom.
Have a gorgeous daughter now.
When I played baseball in college I was a pitcher. I would always tell my team that I had the Hooch if my off speed stuff was working. The name evolved from that permutation.
I went to high school in Albuquerque NM and all my friends where of mexican descent (I am just an average white boy). It was a nickname I hadnt thought of for a while, so I used it. Too bad I forgot all the Spanish I used to know (minus the cuss words, of course). Oh well that was 20 years ago, the name just brought up some real good memories, so I used it.

Bought a couple of houses in bulgaria (pictures here)

And wanted to start an estate agents off (lots of them there now, properties dirt cheap)
So i opened a bulgarian business acount and company under the name bvlgari properties. Now all i need is to do a website with the same name, then when anybody searches for bvlgari hopefully my site would come up as well.
I thought it was a darn fine idea
the band...Limp Bizkit.
