so, what was your first username ever? back in the days when connecting to the internet made that funny weird noise.
i think my first one ever was sumoman. then it later became jacko. i have an affinity with names ending in O as you can see.
remember when AOL would send free trial cds? i'd use those to get free internet. man, how times have changed. |

My very first username is from 1995 when I was 12. It was assilem which may or may not be my name backwards.
I used to go on IRC (Undernet server) with my sister under the name CrazyGrls. There was a 9 letter cap on usernames then, too. I don't know why. Pretty tacky, though, eh? |

I'm so embarrassed to say this...but mine was doinit619style. I used to be a wrestling-fanatic & Rey Mysterio was my favourite wrestler. Any familiar with WWE will know about the 619 style ahem. People who hadn't heard of it thought I was making some sort of sexual reference.

Mine was Siamese Dream (after the Smashing Pumpkins album). I was only 15 and didn't understand why I kept getting perverted messages from people with Asian fetishes. |

My first email was was back when I was 16 years old and I loved mustangs (the sporst car.) I tried through Yahoo for the popular names like MustanGT or MustangCobra but it seemed like all the good ones were taken. So I had the brilliant idea of coming up with Musty (for mustang) then 5er (because they were 5.0 back then)
So my name was Musty5er, which I thought was cool as hell but absolutely nobody got. I tried to explain to everyone that it was really clever and cool. It didn't work and everytime I had to give it out people were like "I don't get it Musty, as in you smell bad or something?"
I use it as my spam account now and still give it out once in a while and peole will still give me a strange look, like what's wrong with you weirdo? |

the first one way way back when was eroom. but then when i actually started using the internet a lot in middleschool, i gave myself a wide plethora of monikers. i was known as justaman, untouchablegumby, youdon'tquiteknowme, mypajamasaretootight, and then jaybert from a nickname a girl i had a crush on gave me. eventually it became jaybert06 because there were other jayberts out there, and i've just stuck with that since then for convenience sake.
yes, having a wide array of wild nicknames got confusing at times, but was it fun? oh yes. |

I've used the same username for everything since 1995 or so when I got my first computer. |

I used to use Nogard for AOL, chat rooms and playing Runscape. I though having dragon backwards would be a good name
