How did you decide on that screen name?

Question

And...how's that working for you?

Answer 1

It's working just fine, thanks for asking.

As far as for coming up with it, it just came to me one day. I was at my local café, and I ordered my usual order of hot tea and crumpets(I kid you not) and it just so happened that on that day, it was the café owner's 29th anniversary, so he gave me my order for free. He knew I was a regular so right out of my mouth I said,"By Jove! How splendid! Spot on old chap!" And it's stuck, so every time I go to my favorite café, I always say,"Spot on old chap," at least once to someone. It usually makes their day, especially if they're tourists! Tourist love those British sayings, don't cha know? :D

Answer 2

This name is also my Yahoo ID for another account. I liked the name Sock Puppet but it sounded too male as I am a girl. So I added "ette" at the end for the feminine effect.

And yes it works well. I've had the name for 5 years and most people know me by this on the net.

Answer 3

Well, ha ha, I was eating soup one day and I was at Yahoo!Answers and I was thinking of a name so I just looked at the soup and was like .. ok .. "Queen Soup?" but Queen didn't fit that well and princess only fit if you're like 12-13 or younger. I wanted to sound like I was the head of something.. like the Queen is usually at the top.. and mothers are usually at the top of their families so I wanted to sound like I was at the Top of soup or something? Haha I don't know how to explain it but hopefully you get what i'm trying to say. By the way, I don't have any kids, lol. I'm only 17.

By the way, i've been apart of Yahoo!Answers for almost 2 years now and I haven't changed my name once.

Answer 4

I have forgotten the exact number of screen names I have had on this account I think around twelve, really not sure. The current one is most likely just another in a string of them.

Answer 5

Mine is a statement aimed at a certain individual who figured I would back down after they got my level 6 profile deleted. I took it personally and my daughter's tagline on her name on MSN was "Sticks and stones may break my bones; But words will never hurt me!' (also aimed at a spiteful individual.) That was when I came up with the name. I like it because it empowers me. It makes me realize that when I answer a question and I get a thumbs down, it's just words. When someone gives a rude or obnoxious reference to my OPINION, it's just words. When someone says something derogatory in an answer to any of my questions..it's..just..words!

Answer 6

Just a name I made up so I'd be sure nobody else had it. I think I was inspired by Steve Martin's "real name"; Gurn Blansten, and the "Miles Cowperswaithe" sketch on SNL many years ago.

Answer 7

It was either a choice of
Utopiadominator(which is gay)
Scoremyass(you people are to horny for that kind of screen name)
Monika(i chose because makes this place little more sensible for me)

Answer 8

I love Utahraptors (and dinos in general). Plain and simple. Someone asked if I read some comic book thing with "dinosaurs." No . . . And I probably never will. But otherwise, no one's complained. What am I to say?

Answer 9

You will likely have multiple alias over your life on the internet. Iike to pick something that is easy to remember. I picked my initials with a title. It does not make any sense, but it is my go to address. I can usually find it on any domain (as you know they are hard to find if they make any sense at all). This way I can carry it with me where ever I go.

Answer 10

Rosenrot is a song. It also means rose red in German, and is the name of Snow White's sister [yup she has a sister].
It's working...fine? I guess? Except that the T at the end cuts off.
Soo...yup. :]
