for some reason i didnt thing 'firstname lastname2' or something like that - i thought he wanted me to pick something crazy that no one else would have though of.

so .. at work i was using band names for passwords (which changed every month - so a theme helped) I was using urgeok (yes - for urge overkill) at the time so i gave that as a name - and after all these years it's all ive used.

i like the band - a lot - have all the albums ... but i wouldn'd normally give myself a nickname of a band i liked. I thought it was going to be a code thing - not something my email was based on.


anyway - i never change anything once i have it - so it stuck.

the funny part of the story is that - had i signed onto the internet a few months earlier when my password theme was godzilla monsters - i could have easily been called Mothra all this time.


a long, uninteresting expaination - but there you have it.

There you have it, Nella.

And it's not "uninteresting", women love detail, haven't you realized that? lol We like everything spelled out to us and done in meticulous manners...:)

Im actually kinda glad this thread was made. What does everyone else's name mean while we're at it.

well, it's like this, during puberty your body goes through changes directly linked to the process of reproduction.

eventually this results in certain urges.

as we scientists like to call : the tinglies.

It's all about controlling those Urges.

Mine is obviously from The Living Dead at Manchester Morgue. The "e" got left out of Manchester because there was a limit to the number of letters in usernames.

Unlike Urge, I have used heaps of different usernames over the years. I was actually thinking about it a few days ago - I think the first username I ever used was "hammurabi". That was for BBS's, before the world wide web.
