User Names...how did you come up with yours?

when i bought my first motorcycle, my buddies decided i needed a new nickname. (i was formerly known as "zombo" because i drove a hearse) well, at first they called me easyrider, but because of my personality it morphed one day into cheesy rider. it just stuck like glue after that. back home the only people who call me paul are my family. everyone else just calls me cheezy. so when i began posting on flight sim forums, i just morphed it to cheezyflyer.
 
....Can't seem to find my spectacles....if somebody could just read me the question, I'll know the answer......
 
My extended initials -- some of my first CFS1 downloads were from bpotvin, and my mother had told me stories about a WWII pilot friend of her family, fellow native East Texan L C Wade, who she thought flew with the Flying Tigers.
Found out not too long later that Wade was RAF Wing Commander L C Wade, highest scoring American ace with the RAF. So that helped confirm the selection.

Mine is just most of my last name (Andersen) plus my first initial (L). I made it up in 1984/85 when I I first got in to computers through my job and got my first (and current) e-mail address.
 
Maddog Killa,

Back when I was playin mechwarrior 2 in the registry league I grew a psychotic fondness for the vulture (maddog in the mw2 game) and tho my teammates and opponents usually had bigger mechs (Warhammers and Thors) I learned to take em down with superior maneuverability (because of less weight) and tenacity (and the big, fat jump jet bug).

...and my ISP at the time wouldn't let me have Lord Malak as it was already taken.
 
TARPS = Tactical Airborne Reconnaissance Pod System, the photo recce pod carried aboard specially configured F-14 Tomcats. I worked with TARPS imagery and taught TARPS classes at my last duty station, Fighter Squadron 101 at NAS Oceana.
 
Way, Way back, in the days of CFS1 online on the Zone, I was a member of several online Squadrons. After a bit, I got into designing scenery for CFS1 with a squad mate, and we formed the "Fallen Angels Design Group". That was many, many moons ago, but to this day any time I create something for the sims, I still brand it as a Fallen Angels Design.

According to Demonology, Astaroth is one of the Prince's of Hell, and thus a "Fallen Angel". So I chose that name for my part of the Fallen Angels Design Group. However, when writing the readme for my first scenery release, I misspelled it, Astoroth. So, I stuck with it. And I've been Astoroth ever since.
 
User Name

Mine is particularly easy !!! my real initials are MCL in Roman Numerals this equates with 1150. Hence the login .
Regards to all
 
Hmm, came from way back when...

There was a radio program on a classical station called "The Barococco Hour". Most supercilious sounding host I ever heard, deKoven, (and PLEASE skip the mister. I see all such things as passe [can't remember the exact wording now, been so long]) but I really liked the program. When I started online I decided to resurrect the name. Thusly :jump:
 
The Navy and University of Michigan!

I'm from Caswell County, NC, pronounced CAZ-WELL. When I was in high school and college, I absolutely worshiped Cazzie Russell, played pro with the Knicks. Navy started calling me Cass, like mama Cass. Uh-uh, I had to straighten them out, if they were gonna use the name, say it right, CAZ, I ain't no fat mama!

The Cazzie is just a longer diminutive I stuck due to my like for Cazzie Russell.

Caz
 
Originally, I picked it for another forum, for the Wing Commander series of games. Since my preferred fighter from the series was the F-57 Sabre, it was a natural fit. It stuck well once I found the Outhouse, since the F-86 is another favorite of mine.
 
Do I really have to explain? :d

Btw:
Rumors telling that I use to wear a leather cap while simming are just overstated... :jump:
 
Kinda born with mine as well. Last name is Donk and hence the nick "Donkey" was almost too easy. :)
