Why did you choose your current usename and what does it mean?

[flubjub]

First of all credit goes to vettdj for coming up with the idea for this thread.


I'm interested to know the reasons for picking your username, is it because its very personal to you or did you just think of it from the top of your head?


Also does your username have any meaning behind it, maybe it was the name of a mythilogical creature or an important person from history.


With my username, it was an impulse decision when I registered with the forum so no long thought was put into it, it just happened to pop up in my head at that time and I thought it sounded good. I think it suits me as a person as well.


So please feel free to post your reasons and their meanings if it has one.



Thankyou, flubjub.

[phileditin]

Mine is a play on words and was created way back in 1998 - 99 when I tried using ICQ ( I seek you ) and like many things on the internet I had to sign up.

As my 1st name is Phil and my 2nd name begins with Ed I created the nick I use here Phil-Ed-it-in ( filled-it-in or Phil Editing - minus the g = phileditin ).

[TigerK]

The 'K' is the initial of my first name and I was nicknamed Tiger at work when I was caught shagging a temp in the racking when we were supposed to be working.

[The Rock]

This is a good thread. Good idea you came up with vettdj. Thank you!! Thank you for posting this flubjub.

As for the reason and the history I came up with The Rock, well, there are many reasons why I chose this as my username.

Aside from The Rock being one of my favorite wrestlers, I needed a good name that was easy to remember. Didn't want a name that was too long to type or too hard to spell. I have another username that I used a lot, but didn't want to overuse it. Plus, I needed a name that got people's attention so if they needed to reply back to me, they can easily find me.

The Rock was also what a lot of people called me back in high school. Mainly during my junior and senior year. I did a lot of trashtalking and was very competitive athletically and academically. Whenever my friends and I competed, either in basketball, football (American), football (or soccer), music, or dancing, they'd talk trash to me and be like "Beat that Rock!!" And because of that, I'd always come back and be like "Just bring it!!"

My friends also noticed I wore sunglasses more than usual and would jokingly say stuff like, "Oh look!! It's The Rock!! If you smelllllllll....what The Rock....is Cookin!!" People would ask me why I always wore sunglasses. And I'd have to tell them that my eyes are very sensitive to the light so I have to wear them.

Kinda like how The Rock started in wrestling. He was like any other wrestler and worked his way up. And if you're a wrestling fan, you'll notice how he wore sunglasses more often than any other wrestler. That and he talked a lot of trash and backed it up. For me, my freshman and sophomore years in high school was working my way up to the top. I was this skinny and average-height kid my first two years. Stood at 5'7" my freshman year and 5'8" during my sophomore year with a fluctuating weight around 110-120 lbs.

During the summer, I went through a lot of training to get into shape. And by the time I went through my junior and senior year, I grew to 6'2-6'3" and weighed around 210-220 lbs. So in a way, I went from a weakling to "a rock." It's just funny how The Rock's best years in the WWF/E and my junior and senior years were in the same time frame, 2001 and 2002.

In fact, as I was training, people noticed the changes I went through and that's when the comparisons were made. Rocky this, Rock that since they knew how much I liked wrestling. It was pretty strange, but funny at the same time. So yeah, it was like a life-changing event for me and something I remember my friends called me. So when I signed up here, I wanted a different username and "The Rock" came into mind.

Lol, quite a history behind the name!!
