goomanchu · 11-04-2012, 07:33 PM

in high school i got nicknamed "Goo". From a class thing - no cool/interesting story. but it was funny and sounded babyish - so of course - it stuck. In college hardly anyone knew my first name. I was "Goo", "Goo-man", "Goo-monster" etc. Then one of the more creative guys started to yell "Goomanchu!" whenever I did something good on the intramural flag-football field. funny. So I started to use that as internet screen names (because it was never taken....) and have done it ever since. Now about 20 years of Goomanchu.

It's a very fast running insect and I thought the car looked reminiscent of one.

M_Six · 11-06-2012, 08:56 PM

My first email address was in college. Normally the format was first initial-last name @, but I have a very common last name. I was the 6th person with the first initial M and my last name, so it was m6(last name)@. People called me m6 all the time. When I joined my first forum way back when (romulus2.com), I chose M_Six as my username. Been using it every since.

Wow! It's really fun to see this thread snap back to life. Great stuff!

catricana · 11-07-2012, 10:28 PM

Im American, my husband is Honduran. They call themselves Catrachos, so I combined the two and came up with Catricana. Ive never had it rejected because someone else already used it, and its easy to say and remember.

That's funny. My son is named Joseph and when he was young, his friend always called him Jo-fish as well for the same reason.

So I guess mine is easy to decipher. And somewhat lame. I use another on other forums, probably just as bad. Supwdat. I play a lot of golf so the plate on the Z is PIKITUP. Although some think it pertains to speed.

bucko521 · 11-16-2012, 08:00 AM

My user name comes from two things;
bucko - My wife (now ex) use to say "watch it BUCKO" all the time

5 and 21 - my son's month date of birth

I have used this combo for years, and use it everywhere on here, other forums, email, twitter, etc.

ZStig · 11-16-2012, 08:55 AM

Loogey Clapp · 11-16-2012, 01:08 PM

It was either this or Mr. Hookwoody, but I thought Mr. Hookwoody might be too formal.

bassrebel · 11-22-2012, 12:32 AM

damn some ppl have deep meanings LOL

When I was 12 I started body surfing... All because of a video called Wave Rebel... at that time I used Wave Rebel as my email and all that fun stuff, a year after I started playing bass so I just combined both names and bassrebel was created
