HappierAtHome because I walk in the door and no matter what happened during the day (good or bad) I'm glad to be back in my little nest.

Loving hearing about all the meaning (or not) behind the names. Mine comes from when I  frequently mix up of words to create new ones because my thoughts run faster then my tongue. This one was from Highschool, where sweet and wicked ended up mashed together into swick - it stuck.

Mine got assigned in college o about 17 years ago.  First 6 letters of last name first 2 letters of first name.
I really like it it is never ever taken.  And I used to be called Shrop in the Navy so it's just so as close.

Mine is stolen from my favorite dog-5 lb Maltese that is totally a Princess, very spoiled & also mentally ill. Unfortunately or fortunately, as her Mom I am none of those things.

An englyn is a Welsh poem of a specific format, much like a haiku. I just liked the sound of the word, and it's available everywhere, so it stuck.

A reference to the dead zebra (which is actually a dead painted horse, I believe) in 2001: A space odessy.
Which also is kind of associated with what I do for a living (and also that sometimes when progress seems slow or hard I feel like I am flogging a dead horse)

Mine has evolved from my BBS days. I started as Manhattan Project back around 1992.

/\/\ /\ /\/ /-/ /\ T T /\ /\/
====PROJECT=====

I kept that for a long time, then I saw "Ghost in the Shell" and changed to Projekt 2501 (プロジェクト2501). I've failed the Turing test before, so it fits.

Sometimes spaces weren't allowed so I just went with Projekt.

In 1995 or so, when I was first going on the web via AOL (yeah :) ), I was having to choose a screen name.  Naturally, being 10 or 11 or thereabouts, I wanted something Star Wars, because why would you have a screen name that wasn't related to Star Wars?  Get out of here.

I tried LukeSkywalker, and it was taken!  WTF?  "How about LukeSk4983769?" it suggested.  Pshh, lame.

...I got it!  DARTHVADER.  Yeah, that's the ticket.  What?!  Taken also?  No, I don't want to be DART23927.

So I sat there puzzling a bit for a name that wouldn't be taken and thus have a bunch of numbers appended to it.

A Rebel Spy was the chosen name.

I've used it for almost two decades now (holy *.  That makes me feel old).  I use it across almost every forum/site/messenger service there is.  And yes, I've had people recognize the name and PM me and say "are you THAT arebelspy from xyz"?  I sure am.

And, of course, I've had many hours of laughs with friends whom I initially met online who read it as something else ("are bell spy" being the most common one).
I am a former teacher who accumulated a bunch of real estate, retired at 29, spent some time traveling the world full time and am now settled with three kids.
If you want to know more about me, this Business Insider profile tells the story pretty well.
I (rarely) blog at AdventuringAlong.com. Check out the Now page to see what I'm up to currently.

Similar backstory.  I was starting AOL and I was into computers.  I watched a movie as a kid where a computer hacker used the alias CroMac.  That was taken on AOL, so it turned into CroMacster.  That has been my alias and gamertag ever since.  Yes going on 2 decades now.

It usually is misread as Croc Master, so people think I am into crocodiles or something...Or you can remove the R, add a K, and you fine readers can figure out the rest.

I'm highly unimaginative.

My Kernighan and Ritchie "C" language book was on my desk about 16 years ago and I became "ritchie70." Odds are pretty good that if you see a ritchie70 somewhere, it's me.

I don't really remember what the 70 even means - it isn't the year I was born.

Mine is my name (first and middle).  It originated as my Internet handle back in the early days when I couldn't think of anything more clever that was available without a bajillion numbers after it. It's not interesting or clever, but I've been told I'm a very direct and straightforward person, so I suppose a direct and decidedly un-mysterious Internet identity suits me.

Yes, I sense a lot of tension in your life.

Arebelspy:  until this thread, I had no idea how to say or interpret your screen name.  The best I could come up with was are-bel-spy.  Glad that's out of the way! 

About mine:  until this forum, I had used the same screen name (wynno26) for everything.  Wynno (pronounced win-o) is a nickname I've carried since highschool and 26 is my lucky number.  There are a handful of people who still call me by that but most of my friends have adapted some other part of my name into a nickname; there are many.  I picked Fireman because in addition to being a Paramedic, it's how I earn my living.

T120 refers to my 1970 Triumph Bonneville.  enigma... shitifIknow.

oooh, another Triumph-er. 

I guess I'll chip in.  This is actually from my FAQ:

Why do you call yourself Spork? Why don't you use your real name?

Mostly because I think it's fun. It just started out that way and I kept going with it. But I guess there are other reasons as well. Firstly, I spent my share of years doing IT security which has given me more than a healthy dosage of paranoia. (It's not that I made enemies... I just saw a lot of the dumb stuff people do.) And while I am under no silly assumption that I am really anonymous here, I also don't seem to think I need to wave a flag saying "Here I am, come find me." If you try even a little, you'll figure it out. I also have not totally given up on the idea of "working for the man" again some day. And since I live in a Big Pond of God, I don't really think it's a good idea to have front page googlosity with my name and some religiously unfriendly rant.

Then what does Spork mean? Is there some symbolism there?

Besides a fine plastic eating utensil? If you are looking for something symbolic, then you've spent too much time recently in a college English 102 class. It means nothing. It could just as well have been "Jesus.Says.Oink" or "Zip.Up.Your.Nose."

Many years ago, in the BBS days, I created a username. More appropriately, I created an identity. The interests and activities of this identity were in line with mine, but shrouded behind a screen of anonymity and mystery. Appearing out of the ether, I would appear, drop words of wisdom, solve problems, destroy illusions, correct grammar, and fade away.
At some point, this identity and my public facing identity started to diverge. As I matured, and began creating a philosophy of life, I knew I had things to offer. However, the newer things I had to offer were not in line with my secret identity. I decided I needed another one. One that could accurately portray what I'm like IRL, one that wasn't weighed down with the questionable ethics and decisions of the past. But what could it possibly be?
How did I come up with the name jordanread?
I was on an archaeological dig in what used to be Constantinople, searching for a key to the past, the answer to a question I hadn't even thought to ask. I was there for about a week when I found something. I didn't even know the significance of it at the time, but I suspect it was considered holy by the local population. Soon after I found it, the natives got restless. Descending on the site like locusts on a crop, brandishing their weapons, many of my team were killed. I narrowly escaped with my life, and hid the item to protect it. After wandering aimlessly for days, dehydrated and hungry, I was taken in by a family, who nursed my broken body back to health. After working off my debt to them, I set out to recover the object.
Once I returned to my lab, I realized that it was some type of clay protecting an ancient document. I set to work on translating it. To this day, there are still small pieces that I don't understand, as it's most likely a dead language. However, at the top, was a name. Jordan Read: loosely translated, it meant Book of Rivers. I adopted this identity as my own. And that is where my name came from.

However, in the interests of Full Disclosure, the dig in Constantinople was actually a closet in my house, and I was organizing it. The item I found was a document in an envelope, and the natives that ran me out were the personification of procrastination. The family was my friends, who kept me out very late that night. The translation was mostly easy, because it was in English. The name at the top was my name, because it was my birth certificate. The question I hadn't thought to ask was "What e-mail address would be appropriate to put on a resume?". The untranslated part of the document was the doctor's writing.

So...yeah. It's my real name. :)

The UNIX epoch would make sense for the 70 part. But maybe it was just a sunny day in your part of the world 16 years ago.

Also jordanread: you just basically summarized the plot device in Life of Pi.

My username is a phonetic sounding-out of some of my initials. I thought I would change it from the one I used on AOL, which was Swolostomybag, which everyone thought meant "swallows to my bag" but was actually a contraction of "sweaty" and "colostomy bag." Yeah, I was real mature back then.

About the time I discovered MMM, my fiance and I were trying to decide whether we'd settle down in his country, my country or the country we both are currently living in. Plus we trying to untangle where to start investing and how... I guess I chose this username to remind me that I chose to live abroad, and that I should remember to have fun with this choice.

Not a juggler though, I've terrible hand-eye coordination.

Nobody else understands how highly strung I am.

They're just not in tune with you.

Don't Fret GuitarStv, you struck a Chord with me.

bet you're feeling picked on right about now

It's like you're plucking these puns out of thin air . . .

Don't hammer-on him too much or he's likely to pull-off this thread.

Ahem... it sounds like we should buy a guitar for Steve!  Am I right?  Guys?
