what does your user name mean?

[HilandDoug]

Back when AOL only allowed 10 characters in a screenname, I wanted "Highland Doug", but it wouldn't fit. Scottish ancestry, been to the Highlands a few times and found it supremely cool, so I wanted to incorporate it into my screenname. A few folks have thought it was "Hil & Doug" and asked who Hillary was. That REALLY p*ssed off the old girlfriend!

[labouche]

I got mine from my fencing coach and fencing captain because I used to have a really big mouth and I had no idea that "la" is feminine in frech. Grrr. Oh well. I'm not changing it now....I've had it for almost 5 years.
-la(le) bouche

See my friend (6'2" 180) was the wolf. Mself (6' 130) being much smaller just took the name coyote. I added the tiger later.

Mr. T

Gullible and hungry like a coyote, but persistent (never give up, no matter how many boulders have fallen on your head), loyal (ACME is still the way to go), and best of all, invincible.

[frenzl]

shorten version of my name.

original - i think not

[D'Artagnan1673]

I got into fencing from reading Alexandre Dumas' books on D'Artagnan. I added the 1673 because I believe that was the year the historical D'Artagnan was killed. I am not positive because I've been too lazy to pull The Man in the Iron Mask out again to verify. This is the only forum I use this name. For the most part I use some variation of Ivanhoe.

[jusplainfencing]

jusplainfencing came to me when i was signing up i didnt want anything over the top or somthing that made no sense to other people and i wanted it fencing related...i thought i need somthing that says that i love fencing plain and simple....and voila! jus(short for just ran outa letters)plain fencing....pretty easy huh?

[Moonitic]

I'm crazy.

In Latin, "luna" means moon. Therefore, "Moonitic" is a play on the word "lunatic". I simply changed the "a" to an "i" because it flowed better. It's the name I use for EVERYthing that requires membership on the net.

[Kiwifencer]

another obvious connection (where I am from - generally described when overseas as 'kiwis'..) and as I was overseas a lot fencing it was what I was initially known as...

[Soldier]

Thst's spiffy. My sister just got home from a semester's exchange to New Zealand, absolutely fell in love with the country. She's thinking about going back there for college now.

[Insipiens]

It is a kind of disclaimer, meaning "fool" in Latin (at least in the Latin of the Vulgate).

Writing under the name is intended to imply that I am not claiming to be right.

[MikeHarm]

I'm not using a fake name, but my middle name is William, I've heard my dad did it kind of as a joke to mean I'd cause trouble. Mike Will Harm

[Gryffin]

Gryffin is my SCA / Ren Faire name. Real name is Jeff.

Sorry, i know this is a fencing website, but i just have to put in my recommendation that you do get one of their decks.

Nice wood, concave, pop and strength

[j4koch]

Last name is Koch. And then each one of the four of us has a first name starting with a "J".

[whtouche]

A few years ago, the USFA rulebook was a 'translated' version of the British rulebook. But they wanted to replace all instances of the word "hit" with "touch" - so they did a search and replace without checking for context. As a result, "white" lights became "wtouche" lights. I screwed up and added an H before realizing it was too late
As such, "whtouche" is, obscurely, "white" - which is my last name.

[It]

I was trying to runaway from someone. But she tagged me and yelled "Your It!" That was when I was seven. Since then, I've been It. Or at least until I run after somebody, tag them, and yell "Your It!"

[Catlady]

I love cats. Also, I'm likely to become, and in fact aspire to become, one of those funny old cat ladies that exist in every neighborhood seemingly. The ones who hardly ever go out and have about 50 kitties in the house and a would pack? Pride? clowder? bunch? of them that come by to eat. All in all I like cats better than most humans anyway.

I've also been known the christen myself the UntamedShrew, because I love Shakespeare and I am a shrew and pround of it. I once went by Hildegarde the Impaler (on the Blade forums) in honor of an imagine Viking ancestor (I'm German/Danish/Norman mostly by ethnic category).

Mr. T

Do you prey on the neighborhood cats at night??
That is what the coyotes do around here.....

[MyraTrue]

You know... I'm trying to think? I figure I became Myra True when I was growing up- see, my parents gave me the kind of name you get tared and feathered for on the playground. They then shortened it (though not diminishing the mock-ability of it). I hated it. I didn't want to tell anyone that was my name. So I started plotting what I'd rather have, and I've been D'Myra ever since.

I finally asked to be called something else, but you can't just give up a name so easily. So blame it on Myra.

[Kodiak Kid]

Mine's a no-brainer too. I'm from an exotic locale and still a kid in my own mind. I've made no attempt to conceal my identity and also try to be reponsible for the content of my posts.

What you see is what you get.

The Avatar? It's just stock footage that only works for a selected few. Anybody seen my binky?
