This has been asked a few times before, especially on the old board, so I thought I'd ask it again here. What was the inspiration for your posting name? And if you want to tell us your real name, feel free to do so.

The name I have been using (nally), as some of you may or may not know, I got while watching the GSN series "Lingo." On that show, you have to guess a mystery five letter word. Anyway, one time in January 2003, one team had to guess a word starting with "N", and on one guess, a guy spelled "Nally; N-A-L-L-Y" and the team lost their turn, because "nally" is not a real word. At the time, I thought it was kinda funny, so I decided to adopt it as a pseudonym to use on Amiright.com and Inthe00s.com. And it's fairly easy to type, so it kinda stuck.

My real name, by the way, is Jeffrey (Jeff for short).

a little bird came to me one day and sat on my shoulder.....I said "hi there Mister bird" and he said "Hi there Billy Florio" ...and thats how I got this name

Mine's pretty obvious....I love making ceramics!  ;D

Mine's a nickname I've had since I was a kid. It has stuck ever since.There are many variants to it, but that's it, in its original form. :D

Real name: Amanda

Stingr is a variation of "Stinger", the mascot for the Columbus Blue Jackets NHL hockey team.  When I had an old e-mail address, "Stinger" was taken, so I went with "stingr."  The 22 is my softball number.  Has been since 1982.  The 2 together make "stingr22."  It's also my eBay ID and just about every other web-based sign-on I have.

My real name is Rob. 

Fred is a common male name. Short for "Frederick", it is of unknown origin. I usually use short male names all over the internet.

Bobo is the name of Mr. Burns' bear in episode 1F01 of the Simpsons (entitled "Rosebud"). It brought back memories of a childhood nickname (something rather like Bobo, but I can't remember what, now) and I thought I would use that as my screen name. It also exists in part for most places around the internet.

Just simply my initials. 

I grew up in Pennsylvania, which many who live there refer to as "pennsy" and I loved it there.  The girl is...well, I am one!  :D

Well....I'm a huge fan of Rock and Roll Music ;)

Despite what a lot of people believe, Catwoman has nothing to do with Batman. I have a love for cats and collect cat memorabilia. I stopped collecting because I ran out of room-but I still have many of my cats on display around the house and some are in boxes. I have been called Catwoman for a few decades now (long before Michelle Pffifer became Catwoman). When I came on-line, I discovered that there were many Catwomans out there. So I had to make a variation. I added the "ofV". Some could argue that the "V" stands for Vermont but it actually stands for Venus where I have said is my home planet since I was a teen.  ;) There are a few sights that I spell it out completely  "CatwomanofVenus" but most of the time that I just use "CatwomanofV".

8)Well,my real first name is Michele,but it's very common and i get tired of getting confused with other people.Once,at work,the boss thought i quit,but it was really another Michele who is one higher than me alphabetically.That kind of thing is really annoying.A lot of Joses,Jasons,and Kristins,among others,have to put up with this nonsense as well.Marian has the same first letter but is not as common;it's also hard to abbreviate.There are a lot of famous people named Marian.Cheers!

Howard is my real name so I thought I'd use it as my nickname. :D

Howard

My former name here was Goreripper (as it is most places. Most people who know me call me that now as if it's my actual name) but I couldn't get it to work when I logged on to the new board for some reason so I changed it to 'Powerslave' after the Iron Maiden album, but also because it's a metaphor for the human condition, inasmuch as we are all, in some way, slaves to the power, whatever power that may be.

My initials

Fred is a common male name. Short for "Frederick", it is of unknown origin. I usually use short male names all over the internet.


Didn't you mention previously that it was a shortened version of your former username which was 'Fred Zeppelin'?

I think this will be the third time I've answered this thread now so I'm going to say I picked Bobby because I'm a big Dallas fan.  ;D

I used to play hockey. Hockey pucks are made from resin. And hockey players chase the puck, put em together and that's it. People usually think i'm a stoner who likes hash, but that's not true.

"Absolutely vile" comes from a line in a Smiths song called "I Started Something I Couldn't Finish" from the Strangeways, Here We Come album:

And I doused another venture with a gesture that was...absolutely vile.

The name actually came to me before I even realised where it came from. I knew it was Morrissey related, but I couldn't remember from where. I use it on everything, except for Yahoo and AIM because it was taken! Originally I had it spelled backwards (elivyletulosbA) but it got to be a pain to type out and look at so I just go by my alter-ego, CounterfeitGore. :)

Where'd that one come from? Well, the first part is a certain person's solo project, and the second part is that same certain person's surname. ;D

By the way...my real name is Tara. :)

Absolutely Vile

Well,

I wanted a nickname that sounded like a real name. So I was thinking since I was obssesed with Nick Rhodes, I'd take his last name (since I couldn't have it in reality!) And make up a new first name. I liked Rio because in the song its about a girl named Rio and I liked the name Rio Rhodes because it is aesthetically pleasing to the ear. 8) ;D So now, Just about anywhere on the internet I'm Rio Rhodes.

Oh, and my real name is Jessie. (Jessica)

...And Rio Rhodes does sound a lot better than Rio Bates!! ;D

That it does Vile, that it does! ;)

Mine came up between me and a friend.  When we were younger we wanted to start a bbusinesstogether (you know how all kids think of starting their own business at some point or another) and we were going to call it Kenlos Enterprises.  We got the Kenlos from taking the first part of my name Kenneth and the last part of his name Carlos and stuck them together to get Kenlos and I have always thought it sounded cool so I use it for my username on a lot of things because I know it will not have been used yet.

When I first came to this Board my name was Shera340(She-ra + my building #)...about a month later when i tried to sign back on it said that my username did not exist. then when I tried to register again it said that my username was taken! So I signed on as 'NullandVoid' to post a cry for help. I put NV as a way of saying that I didn't exist or matter, it also reflected my little bout of depression that I was going through at the time.
Unfortunately I was told that there was no way that my old username could be ressurected so I was stuck with NV and the rest is history.
NV

Mine is not from the movie of the same name.

The hair product in its many forms, cans, bottles, labels and strengths was my best friend in the 1980's, my favorite decade (with the 1970's following very, very closely as my fave decade). ;D 8)

  MLB are my initials but I've been posting on the last board since January and now when it was refurbished I felt it's time to stop answering " what's MLB mean?" So I'm using my name. I'm too much a school type to be original with online names. 
If I feel at home here, later, maybe I will switch to my actual nickname.

Mine is from a song called Rush by Depeche (as in my signature) from the album Songs Of Faith And Devotion.  I have previously been known as Mr. Snrub and Numnum on this board.

Don't forget Tronn! ;D (The Return Of NumNum!)

...And I thought Depeche MODE did a song called "Rush." Are you on a first-name basis? :D

My posting name...

Well, "Ice Princess" is what's on the back of my year 12 school jersey.. because:
a) Ice - Ice Queen '86
b) Princess - nickname I was given by an ex-boyfriend

and Meli... you can guess where this is from...  :P

I love the movie Gone With The Wind and my name is gail so i went with scarlet as in scarlet o'hara and gail scarletgail

Mine is my nickname and the first three letters of my real name.

Mine is nothing mysterious or unique, just my astrological sign and the year I was born!  :)

:o        A life time nickname and part of surname.    :-*

One of the worst tv shows of all time:  "Woops!"  :-X

Just sounds ironic since the show's a flop and called "Woops!"

My nickname is Stompgal because I still like Steps, even though they're not with us anymore. My real name is April Dawn Slocombe.

Howard is my real name so I thought I'd use it as my nickname. :D

Howard

(except my real name isn't Howard it's Karen)

LOL karen ;D

My husband's nickname was Bug, I'm his Lady bug and 3/16 is my birthday.

My real name is Shannon

I spent the strangest three years of my life working for Gumby's Pizza while in college...

when i wear socks with colors or patterns, i usually don't bother to match them.  therefore, they are odd socks.

the X is from my more widely known alias of doxers the great and all of its varients. (doxie, doxers, dox, boxers...)

The name "Koop" is a nickname of mine.  Many years ago, one of my friends used to take the first letter of a person's name and add an "-oop" to it and stick it on the end of their first name.  So, since my name is "Kelly" I became "Kellykoop".  When I first got email, the Kellykoop thing popped into my head and I've been using it since.  When I re-registered here, I just decided to shorten it to "Koop".    :D

Tee hee.  ;D

Mine comes from a guy who is not one of my favorites. The song "Super Freak" by the less than desirable Rick James :P But I am a very kinky girl :)

You're a kinky girl, lol. A sense of adventure is cool.  :)

As for 'Superfreak' the song written by permed hairdo guy, Rick James. I thought it was really funky. Trust MC Hammer to sample it.

I think this will be the third time I've answered this thread now so I'm going to say I picked Bobby because I'm a big Dallas fan.  ;D

Yes, I did. I saw a guy named Jed Zeppelin on some game so then I took a common male name short for "Frederick". I guess I should have cleared this up, but I was too lazy.  :-\\

I decided this because I like the cure and the smiths so I decided to keep it open.

No that's alright. It's good for me to try and remember and take in what you all say. Forgetfullness is one of my biggets downfalls, Fred.  :)

I chose mine because I am mad and I am a dog!  ;D

Or....it's because of an old UK TV program called "Scully" that was on in the early 80s (written by Alan Bleasdale, who also wrote "Boys From The Blackstuff" and many other fine programs). One of the characters in that was called "Mad Dog" and I thought is was a great nickname. I even insisted at one time that my friends call me by this nickname but it never caught on....have you noticed that's always the way, you don't get to choose your own nickname? Except on a messageboard of course.

My real name is Graham.

Lack of imagination

No problem man.  :)

I love that song, SuperFreak, it was a big club hit during my time at college in the early 80s.
It was sampled / ruined (depending on your POV) by MC Hammer for "U Can't Touch This". Or did everyone know that anyway?

Mine comes from one of the books I am writing. :)

That sounds cool. Mind you, don't step on anybody's copyright shoes with that title though.  ;)

My real first name and the name I use to write parodies.

HOWEVER.....

On several other forums I go by "The InterKnight", a combination of the internet, which of ocurse I love and am on for tons of time, and a knight, becasue I've always seen myself as something a chivalrous, adventurous, and heroic type (Just ask Inga! ;) )

Dagwood is a nickname that I had as a kid and it stuck.  Throws people off...they think I am a guy because of the name but I am a girl.

ktelqueen was given to me at work about seven years ago...every time someone needed to know the answer to a music trivia question or name a one-hit wonder song or artist,they came to me.that,along with the fact that i still have all of my albums from childhood and onward(many k-tel)inspired a co-worker to give me the name and it stuck.it's very me  :)

my real name is maria

Maria is a very nice name.....BTW, are you Latina?  (No problem if you are, just curious)

And this is kinda embarrassing, but what exactly is k-tel?

lol...um,no..laughing because i'm very fair-complected with blondish brown hair..despite my appearance i've been asked over the years if i'm spanish/italian/portuguese etc when someone hears my name(it's simply catholic based).

as for k-tel,nothing to be embarrassed about,it's just slightly before your time  ;).
K-Tel Records was a company very popular in the 70s known for releasing compilations of top 40 hits etc.my first K-Tel acquisition was 24 Great Tear Jerkers "as seen on tv" when i was about seven years old.i had seen the commercial and knew i had to own that record.
after much discussion(my father thought it was too mature for my age lol)i got it.
(you can see my k-tel albums at www.geocities.com/ktelqueen to get an idea...just click on the music link)
oh,and thanks for the compliment,by the way  :)

Before i was named Elefanten, i was named Dj Elefant, before That Dj_Elefantjæger
                            The Elephant               Dj Elephant                 Dj Elephanthunter

BTW my real name is Peter (Haudrum) but you can call me Pede

Pure laziness. I've used it as my screen name for pretty much every forum in which I've registered. The Niko is for my on-air name when I co-hosted a radio show (Save The Wave) here in Seattle. The 101 is a tribute to Depeche Mode...also because I sometimes find that there is already a Niko registered, so I don't have to think of another name if I just add the digits. Like I said...laaaaazy. :P

A poem by John Lennon.  Meant something to me.  Unfortunately Deaf Ted died, and Danoota is
bipolar in NYC, that leaves me.

Deaf Ted, Danoota, (and me)

Thorg hilly grove and burly ive,
Big daleys grass and tree
We clobber ever gallup
Deaf Ted, Danoota, and me.

Never shall we partly stray,
Fast stirrup all we three
Fight the battle mighty sword
Deaf Ted, Danoota, and me.

With faithful frog beside us,
Big mighty club are we
The battle scab and frisky dy*e
Deaf Ted, Danoota, and me.

We fith the baddy baddies,
For colour, race and cree
For Negro, Jew and Bernie
Deaf Ted, Danoota, and me.

Thorg Billy grown and Burnley ten,
And Aston Villa three
We clobber ever gallup
Deaf Ted, Danoota, and me.

So if you hear a wonderous sight,
Am blutter or at sea,
Rememer whom they mighty say
Deaf Ted, Danoota, and me -

(sometimes we bring our friend, Malcom.)

I started playing rpgs (primarily AD&D) at the age of 5, but didn't really have any idea what type of names would be good for my characters. My brother used to give me suggestions, which I used, but most of them were pull out of literature or history (my most powerful character is named Theoden). As I got older and realized where these names were coming from, I decided to naming my own characters in hoped of making the name unique.

Kryllith is the name of my Thri-Kreen character from the AD&D Darksun realms, created around 1990-91. After TSR released more info on the Thri-Kreen, I changed his name to Kryl'ith, which better fits the Thri-Kreen language. Since many places won't allow symbols in names, I still use the original name quite often. For those that have no idea what a Thri-Kreen is, this like has a decent picture of one: http://www.reddra.com/lair/gallery/art-ktichek.htm. I think they look pretty cool, but to some races in the AD&D worlds they look rather hideous. That being the case, I took my inherit twititude and made my own translation of the words Kryl (hideous) and ith (twit), hence the nickname Hideous Twit.

While I use other names on occasion, this is my primary since I know I'm the only one (least according to various web searches). For that matter, I'm the only hideous twit, though people have called others "hideous twit" so I've some small competition in the searches for that name.

Kryllith

Uh.. actually not sure. It was suggested by a friend. I don't really eat apricots often. I like the smell, the juice, the fruit, but we don't have them often. It doesn't fit me well, I'm neither sweet nor fruity. I have no resemblance to a fruit, I have no fruit-like qualities. I like the name, though, so I don't change it.

Very nice to read the stories behind the names, folks.  :)

Allie Fox is the main character in my favorite book, The Mosquito Coast by Paul Theroux.

Harrison Ford played the character in the poorly translated film version.

It is the only name I ever use.

I got mine from the old 'rifleman' tv series. the sheriffs name was micah and my names mike

I saw Micah and that was the first thing I thought of.  His name on the show was Micah Torrance,
how is that for trivia you will never need! :)

It's my shortened name and my birth year.

Tanya

My screen name was inspired by one of my favorite songs... "That's the Way of the World" by Earth, Wind & Fire.    This was also my screen name on YL.  :)

Agreed.  :)  I love so many of EWF's tunes...but that one is my favorite by them.

Jiminy Cricket  ::)

My name is Tammy - Tam to my friends  ;)

Philip Eno is my screen name, but not my real name, though my name is Philip.

At the time when I first started out on Message Boards, and seeking a good screen name, I attended a BBC Radio recording (comedy music show called Jammin', with Rowland Rivron) and a line from the show was, Brian Eno oriental cousin Philip Eno, and it suck with me.

Too awesome!  ;D

The name sounded catchy at the time. When I decided to join, I had no idea of names to use and didn't want to just use my first name. So I decided to name it after the colour shirt i was wearing at the time  8)

ALB are my initials, plus my first name is Al.

Dunno, it was just a quick name to think of.

I think as I was thinking for a name, I saw something ripping and decided "Oooh ripp"

Otherwise, you would be talking to Lixa the sandpaper (translate from portugese to english Lixa) or Amaria, the latin girl. lol

Well, short story long....

About... 18 years ago I worked in Eckerd Drugs in Florida. (This was PRE internet) Most SIGs and BBS's let you come up with any sort of pseudonym you wanted back then. Anyway, I noticed an envelope for the one hour photo was laying around. I picked it up and noticed someone had written Cuthbert J. Funkbox III on it. For many years I was Cuthbert J. Funkbox (Minus the III). On posts this was shortened to CJF, and in the modern day I've shortened it to Funkbox.

It was great fun before I moved out of state. FLorida plates consisted of three numbers and letters for some series. For a time they hit the CJF series, and I considered it my own personal fleet of vehicles!

Ehh...it was fun...

Sorry you asked now, eh?

CJF

Mine's from when I worked in warehousing. My surname's Woods, so I was called Goodsin Woods (as in Goods Inwards). I also like the connotation that sin is good!  ;D

I am a pimpin steelers fan

I getting a deja vu....

Zella is short for Azazella ;)

Odyssey was the name of the dance club from Saturday Night Fever, one of my favorite movies/soundtracks of all time.  :)

Guess.

I think Not Apricot is gonna have the best response to this question.  :)

;D Touché

*shakes head in amazment*

..*proceeds to cackle aloud*



~Beth

Then I don't think I need to say anymore.  ;)

But I will anyway.

At first glance, this name may seem a bit obvious, that I'm just... not Apricot, but when you scratch the surface a little more, and dig a little deeper, you find that it is so much more...

First of all, yes, I am not Apricot. There was a little "Faux Pas" about Apricot being me about a week ago, and I decided to try and clear it up.

Second of all, I am not an apricot. I am a human.

Third of all, I bear no resemblance to Apricot (the person). I am sweet, kinda fruity, and furry. Not to mention I taste rather good.

Fifth of all-- Wait a minute, I'm getting ahead of myself...

Fourth of all, "Not Apricot" is an anagram for No Otherworldly Terrorists (space) Are Prone to Reap In Cotton Or Tylenol, which is a charity I'm a part of to increase alien awareness and acceptance.

Fifth of all, there was a blind man on the corner of 5th and 512th one day, and he was selling kittens. A man walked up and said, "I would like a kitten," and the blind man said, "Okay, which one?" The man picked a kitten out and proceeded to walk away. "Wait, young man!" the blind guy said, "You have to pay for that!" But the man just wouldn't listen. He kept walking, and the kitten bit him.

Hard.


LMFAO!!!

my user name is pretty simple, It all started a few years ago when I started calling everyone 'Angel' and my name is kay so  Angel-I-K
and plus I'm pretty angelic looking  ;D

so yes the amazing depth of my user name in two lines!

Kxx

If you look closely at Dave Grohls drumkit in the video of Nirvanas Smells Like Teen Spirit,you can read in black letters the word "Chaka".
And thats been stuck in my head ever since!
:)

I am a nerd.  I like the maths.

If A=1, B=2, C=3, etc....then C.NOIZE=?

My real name is Matthew, but sometimes, people call me Matth.  I'm not so sure why.    ???

Matth? A nerd?

NEVER.

I randomly typed.

hmm....I like midnight....I like Knights....I like darkness.

in a pure heterosexual way   ;D

"I like... carpet. I like... desk lamp... I like... table..."  ;D ;D ;D




oh, you're a witty one  ;D



~Beth :)

A heterosexual way, eh, jiminy? Sounds like someone's a little.. shall we say.. GAY!!!!  :o  :o  :o

Well, I like mustard.

But, also because no one get's the hidden meaning behind it. Tee hee, I'm not going to tell ya what it is either.

Nah....I like to keep people guessing.

Gee, could it have something to do with the amount of faith someone has?  ::)

"With faith the size of a mustard seed, one can move mountains"

Or something like that.  :P


Naw, couldn't be.

Naw, couldn't be.


Oh well, there goes my sense of mystery.  :\'( Darn!

....


HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!

Score!  :)


Ah, I see how you are. *insults you in many foriegn languages*

You find my extreme faith stupid, I can tell. I know I need to lighten up a bit, but I just get excited about what I learn and how God works in my life. I thought my last name gave the wrong impression and so I changed it to a less obvious name, but it didn't work. Dag Nabit. ;)

I wonder how I got mine....





My old one, Spudboy had to do with DEVO though.

It shouldn't be that difficult to figure out that my real name is Richard so the first part, "rich" makes sense, also 1981 was the year I was born.

why didn't you take "Richard" and call yourself "hard" instead?   :D

My name was just one of those things I came up with when I was goofing around in some AOL chat room several years back. Plus, it has a better ring to it (and is a little less obvious) than "La Sinepy Eknod." At first glance, it looks like something from a foreign language.

My younger brother thinks it's stupid. My older brother thinks it's hilarious. 

For those new to this board...my s/n here on Decades comes from my favorite NASCAR Nextel Cup driver, Tony Stewart. And IMO he IS the man...

Sine is actually a Latin word. It's been an entire summer though, so I don't remember what it means, possibly "over" or "above".

Think I already answered this, but...

YWN is for Your Worst Nightmare.  I use the full name on amiright.com.  When I was writing my first comment (late 2003 or early 2004), I was thinking of a nickname.  Suddenly, I remembered this scene in Mulan (the first movie I had watched in theaters; I was six years old) where this puny dragon answers a question about who he is by saying in a threatening tone, "Your Worst Nightmare!", so I chose that.

I'm sure you all know what GRS means. And I may have said this but: it was a random name I thought up (whilst trying to think of the worst nickname ever)  :D

Good Red Shirt sounds like the name of an emo band.

I've been here since September last year.  :o

I've been here since May 18, 2005.  I have 619 posts, and according to my profile, that is 6.19 posts a day.  Of course, that is bull; I post a lot more than six a day, it is just that I went on vacation for a few months without posting.  I have posted roughly 22.64 posts today.

Really??  You've been here longer than me?  I thought you had been here since maybe june of this year!

I never really posted 'til around April this year.  ;) I think that was when I made my 200th post or something.

so...GRS, how did you get your name?

:D

uh... ok... ask a question on my thread! pleasE?

Ultraviolet is a spinoff of my old screen name, Nocturnerose. I wanted a name that sounded a bit like it came from "The Incredibles" so I attempted at Ultraviolet. the "52" is actually an accident. I meant for it to be 521, but somehow the "1" got cut off when I made my screen name on here. So, 52 has a different meaning for me now, as that's the year my mom was born...

A Whistle Dog is a hot dog with cheese, bacon and relish that you can get from A&W Restaurants (Canadian chains only.  The American ones don't have 'em).  I was eating one the day I was thinking of a good name to use in the old days of Napster :)

EDIT:  I have since shortened it to └┴┘├┤│└┐┬∟∑™  to be original, and at the same time to confuse people LOL  If you look in the members list, my name no longer shows up under the W's  ;D

I've been here since September of 1999.  :o :o

Wow, you've been on a while! I've only been on the Internet for about 6 1/2 years myself. I remember it was around Valentines Day of 1999 that we FINALLY got the internet! lol

I've been a member here for only a mere 3 months, but whoa, I've already racked up almost 1100 posts lol

It means "without".

My current name is Marquis de Trisette... "de tristesse" literally means "of sadness" in French.. now, does anyone know who Marquis of Sadness is? Here's a picture:

It's easy to do...lol

BTW, I'm glad to have you here, Ultraviolet521!  :)

The first four letters of my name, which spell "Step" and a "chan" honorific added to the end. Influenced by Final Fantasy(NES), Dragon Warrior 3(Gameboy color remake) and the anime show Excel Saga.

'Chan' means child in Japanese.  :)

Do you know what "san" is? I don't, and I've wondered for a while.

I think it's a term they use to show respect when talking to someone...but I'm not certain.

I only ever hear it for men, though.

Thank you, CeramicsFanatic :0) I am glad you're here, too!

Or more appropriately "little one". I just like "Chan" better than "San". Funny thing is that Excel calls Hyatt "Ha-chan"(Excel calls herself "Eh-chan"). Both are average height 18 year old young women.

Maybe I should have said "suffix" instead of "honorific". :)

The equivalent to Mr., Ms. and Mrs.

In another show I have(Called Azumanga Daioh), in the Japanese dialogue, one character calls Sakaki "Sakaki-san". In the English dub Sakaki is called "Miss Sakaki".

I only ever hear it for men, though.


I just found out that it can apply to men or women.  :)  

Does anybody wanna know how I came up with my posting name? ???

mmmmokay then... here's the story.

I guess I was looking for some song lyrics when I stumbled across AmIright. I spent some time there (mostly reading) before trying the messageboard, which took me to a whole new world called Inthe00s. I found it fascinating and decided to join - but I had to come up with a name. Just about the first thing that sprung to my mind was FaultyDog. It had a certain ring to it that I found appealing (though I'm not a dog person - I like 'em, but don't want one myself). But why FaultyDog? I think I read it somewhere else, maybe on another messageboard. But I know for sure that there's a connection with Fawlty Towers, a comedy series that I have always enjoyed. My mind must have made some bizarre connection. And that's all there is to it, really.

JamminOldies was first because I loved the oldies music but Howard is my real birth name.

I thought Faulty Dog was in the same sphere as those great Hanna Barbara Cartoons - It just had that same ring to it as Tennessee Tuxedo, Quickdraw McGraw, Huckleberry Hound, etc. I really like it though - great name!

That was my guess too.

Thanks! I like yours too. :)

Well, I haven't done any further research on the matter, so there's always a possibility.

Thanks, Faulty Dog.

And according to some research online (a la Googlism), I found that
1) Faulty dogs are unwanted little runts
2) Some kind of abnormality in a dog in a batch of newborns - basically a reject.

Poor thing..

Please don't take this the wrong way, but when I first saw your name and sig my dirty mind went south.
I thought you were an umm...foot enthusiast if you know what I mean.
