g for my first name Garrett, bud is the first three letters of my last name and some freinds call me gbud. And helix because I've used DblHelix in other forums to represnt DNA, the stuff we're all made of.

"Cogito, ergo Repgeek" is latin for "I think, therefore RepGeek" and is a play on Descartes "Cogito, ergo sum". I think, therefore I am. But you guys already knew that right?

Someone else here has "Cogito ergo coitus"

**MaxDepth** · 07-17-2008, 08:54 AM

I love diving and record my "maxdepth" after every dive I do.

Since the aim is generally not to go as deep as you can but to maximise the time you spend down there (bottom time), I considered being "MaxBottomtime", but it sounded a bit..... gay

**Derwinddreht** · 07-17-2008, 09:03 AM

Derwinddreht - Der Wind dreht - means - the wind turn around - change the direction - and comes from Mary Poppins - every time the wind turns she leave her "family" and every time i saw this movie i must cry - until today - no just kidding -

**©huck** · 07-18-2008, 03:58 PM

my parents named me charles..
never liked that name..
so 20 years ago I started calling myself chuck..

one of the two best things I've done in my life sofar..

but a common name as it is, usually taken already on boards, so I try a ©, and around 2 out of 10 boards allow these characters in usernames...

**Mudcat** · 07-18-2008, 04:18 PM

Mudcat was my fathers CB handle back in the 70's. He wasn't a trucker, but for some reason, CB radio was cool.

Mudcat is a old southern term for "catfish" - if you don't know what a catfish is...then you're a yankee

**pc12drvr** · 07-18-2008, 06:08 PM

I fly Pilatus PC-12's. . .not very original.

**eskielvr** · 07-19-2008, 04:55 AM

Back before we had kids I used to volunteer with American Eskimo rescue and nickname was Eskielvr as in American Eskimo lover as in I'm fond of American Eskimos. Now we end up with just about any breed of dog that comes along but eskielvr has been easy nickname to remember.

**The_Monkey** · 07-19-2008, 06:03 AM

The_Monkey is a shortened version of The_English_Speaking_Monkey because I ran into a character limit. I got the long nickname at my first IT job because I'm good at writing what we called english speaking monkey scripts, basically just a set of instructions that are so simple a monkey could follow them.

**archy** · 07-19-2008, 07:07 AM

**ironmarshal** · 07-31-2008, 05:55 PM

I used to study military history quite a bit, and the Napoleonic wars in particular. Napoleon used to refer to one of his Marshals (Louis-Nicholas Davout) as his Iron Marshal.

**Marty** · 07-31-2008, 06:16 PM

Being in the military (Marines) for 20 +, the wives were always commenting about Marines and that we are allways sterotyped as "MANLY". Well, during one of our rompin' stompin' platoon get-togethers, one of the wives called me "Martymuffin".

What could I do? So the nickname stuck when off duty, and it's funny to see expressions on a person's face when they actually see who Martymuffin is.

So it stuck in my head to use the name as an internet callsign and then it spilled over to the rest of my civilian email accounts.

People see "Martymuffin" and probably think derogatory, sexist or ****phobic thoughts about a creepy, skinny little sex offender, but alas, I'm far from it.

I'm not creepy. LoL.

Seriously, I have been looking to change the callsign, but nothing has really rung true. Wife and I have had great talent in naming our pets due to their behaviors, and when other folks see the pets, they realize where the name came from. But I still havent figured out something more fitting, so I have stuck with martymuffin for quite a while.

**Mitton** · 07-31-2008, 07:02 PM

Mitton = Middle, neither end of any extreme.

**grimlock** · 07-31-2008, 08:51 PM

Grimlock, Yah Transformers...... But I guess you smart guys already find that out.....duhhuhh

It started with DC++ (filesharing). My m8 was the fabulous Optimus who wrote tools for this (Robocop if you wanna know). We were admins of many forums. He was the great Optimus (the brains) And I the power.....ME GRIMLOCK...... (the power to hold bad-asses out of the forums)

but all my friends can call me Grimmy..... that sounds less agressive...

I'm really a nice guy you know

**osirion666** · 08-01-2008, 03:03 AM
