Where does your username come from?

Oedipc complex?

[Acecool]

I do use it in commerce. I created it in 89 but I either used it for commerce near that time or 90 or 91... I have the records on an old hard-drive... and I've been continuing to use it to this day - it's how I bill my customers when I do work for them and I have the name registered for my company name in South Carolina.

[Jeroen3]

My username is my name. And I was the third Jeroen at work and the scouts, so I guess I decided to be 3rd on the internet as well.

Didn’t work out entirely, name was taken on some places.

[senso]

Mis-remenbered Sesto Sento, my head made a mashup and created senso.

Only years latter I even noticed that it means sense in my mother tongue.

Have a couple more that I use, but this is my main one, first used 15 years ago on an ogame account.

That's kind of funny because there's like half a dozen Dougs at a place I work with.  There's also several with the same last initial, so you have to refer to them by context ("send that layout over to Doug to check" = the hardware/layout Doug) or full last name.

My first name is the exact opposite. Always been unique at school, college, work, clubs, etc. I've never meet another who uses the same first name. I know there are a few others here in the USA, most being emigrants or refugees. Census data tells me that, but there are too few of us so I can't even find out which states they live in.  For privacy reasons the census won't tell counts that a name is used in a state or region if the number is under some cutoff value. The downside to it being so unique is nobody can spell it. If they try, they almost always want to use the more popular form, or the Russian form which are both pronounced different.

[frog_jr]

An homage to my father who most people only knew as Frog.

When he was a new born, a young cousin came over and asked his name, the middle of which is Woolfolk.
The youngster misunderstood and said "Bull Frog? What a funny name!"
Well, Frog stuck from that point on...

My mother said she never knew his "real" name until he signed the marriage license!

So obviously I am Frog Jr.

Its a pun but also has spiritual significance.
