Nicknames.
I sometimes wonder what is going through a person's head when they join a site and have to come up with a nickname... 
I mean why such a name as biggaydog? Why not the name of a dog or a simple everyday name with a number or the name of a super hero...
The mind simply boggles.
So has there ever been a name that's got you pondering on a website?
Or do I just have a weird mindset?

Maybe he has a big dog thats gay  I like to think that when peeps think up their names there's a bit of their own persona in there somewhere 
And anyway, Incognitas ????????

Re: Nicknames.
Maybe some people just form a nickname by sticking a pin in the pages of a newspaper or book and then combine the first couple of words from the results.
Works for me.

Re: Nicknames.
Maybe people prefer to hide their real name, which I have started to do now

Re: Nicknames.
Anyone remember crabshagger  from a while back, what was he/she on, and how did he get it past the mods for as long as he/she did?
Just checked, still a member under that name no posts on CF, I must be thinking of ntlhellworld.co.uk

I honestly can't remember why I picked what I did, particularly since I'm not that easily scared. LOL.
Maybe it was seeing all those other weird and wonderful 'handles' that inspired me.
Anyway, they used up all the really cool ones in The Matrix.
