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 Laughing
