MemberInitiateAug-02-2017 11:00 AMNo reason, really, just popped in my head and seemed relevant.
I did/do like how it sounds though. I only have a few other on line avatars and they are all terrible by comparison! :)
Good thread DK

Xeno referencing the Xenomorph
Taris because it sounded cool like a Protoss name.

MemberNoobAug-02-2017 12:49 PMMy little sister helped me get my first email address in 1993. She was so much smarter then i was and is not with us anymore. So i cannot ever get rid of that name. She gave me the name cause i used to be a sponsored snowboarder for allian snowboards and vail snowboard supply company. That and i obviously live in Vail Colorado. I miss her greatly and she loved the Alien films.

MemberInitiateAug-02-2017 5:14 PMNow I know why Geiger made Fox nervous a bit, what a picture, still grossed out, lol. Mine comes from the days of smoking the herbs of the earth and an alternate stoned personality, I think! Only been a hardcore Alien franchise fanatic for about four years but I live it and breathe it. Like it's a calming agent running them for the thousandth cycle. Good times, mostly

MemberInitiateAug-02-2017 10:40 PMI've been using my handle for many years now. It's a reference to some rather obscure work by Pink Floyd in their early psychedelic pre-Dark Side of the Moon days.

MemberContributorAug-04-2017 5:52 PMLoving everyone's answers so far!
Well, when I first joined this forum it was just because I wanted to post my fan fiction "After the Crossing".
David's little taxidermy project made a cameo in my story, so I decided to make my username a reference to that. :)

MemberLegendAug-04-2017 6:08 PMVivisectedEngineer Is there a Vivian in the mix as well? I always wondered about that name.

MemberContributorAug-04-2017 6:29 PM@dk
I actually really love that inference! But no, I'm afraid my real name isn't anything close to Vivian. I never made that possible connection until you guys pointed it out!
In fact, when I chose it for posting my story, I was actively trying to avoid picking anything that sounded feminine because I always fear my writing will be judged more harshly if people know that I'm female.
My dad and husband both thought it was really funny that such a macabre name got morphed into something nice though, lol.

MemberLegendAug-04-2017 6:39 PMVivisectedEngineer Thanks- it is interesting to hear what goes into user names- even if it is just something random as a couple have stated.

Zwei Wing is the best singing duo. Change my mind.
TheLazyFish
MemberRespectedDec-10-2019 1:30 PMWell, mine is just that I'm lazy, and that I like fish. Then put "the". Literally that's it.
If people weren't lazy, we wouldn't try to be efficient. If we weren't efficient, we'd never get anything done.

MemberContributorDec-10-2019 7:32 PMMine is just a combination of three of my favorite things: Minecraft, dinosaurs, and Kaiju.
Kattozilla
MemberConversationalistDec-27-2019 9:07 PMAt first my name was 21pilot-FlyleafFANKaiju which was really dumb so I changed it. My name was that because I like 21 Pilots, Flyleaf, and kaiju (I for some reason didn't reference Breaking Benjamin though...) but now my name is Flyleaf-Rapt0r because I still like Flyleaf and Velociraptors.
