Where did you get your name from ????

[bentley01]

Just wondered why people chose their user names and who has the best story linked to their name choice. Mine was simple as it is the name of my dog. Not very interesting I know. Who is next ??

[yvr]

YVR is the airport code for Vancouver, where I live. Thought it might be recognized by an owner or two local to me. It appears that there are very few of us here.

[gpb1]

Choose any one of these http://acronyms.thefreedictionary.com/_/dict.aspx?...
Truth is it's the initials my parents chose to give me.

[AdamV12V]

Well my name is Adam and I own a V12V...

Sorry - not really the interesting story you were looking for I suspect?

[B4rnst4ble]

Mine is the name of my dog too!

[tonyhall38]

my name is Tony hall......and was 38 when i joined ph....now i'm old and grey....let that be a lesson to one and all...

[Shrek667]

I do a Shrek impression involving multiple party poppers and substantial amounts of alcohol. As Shrek as a user name had been taken, the 667 comes from a mug I saw once that said "667 - the neighbour of the beast" and it just really appealed to me.

[LoudV8]

Far too excited after I replaced the tailpipe silencers with straight through pipes. Bit embarrassing now.

[drcarrera]

I was a (mad) scientist and "Doc" was a nickname. When I joined PH I had a 911 Carrera.
Not very interesting ...!

[scotpak]

I was brought up in scotland (glasgow) but am of Pakistani origin, hence "scotpak"!

[Slarti]

Mines probably obvious. Douglas Adams wrote some of the funniest, wittiest stuff I've ever read and Slartibartfast is a character from Hitchhikers.

[RichB]

13 years ago it was common to use one's name.

[SLacKer]

From my ownership of SLK and SL cars.

[Neil1300R]

My first name is Martin and I ride a (Yamaha) YZF1000 motorbike

[J12MOC]

Bit obvious really...car reg given to me by past girlfriend ..birthday (Jan12th ) + initials.
