I Chose This Username Because...

Pepper

My name came from the main character of the Island Xtreme Stunts theme, which was one of my favorite themes as a child. My sister and I had 6 Pepper minifigures, and we pretended that they were all brothers. We named them Pepper (my favorite), Peppo (my sister's favorite), Pepperoni, Pizza, and Pepperoni Pizza. Unfortunately I don't remember the 6th's name. Pepper, Peppo, and their friends Jason and Jason went on all sorts of adventures together ranging from camping trips to saving LEGO City from the Empire.

Huw

No, because we can't change the forum code because we're using the Vanilla hosted service.

Blue1dot

I'm just a blue dot in a red state

Yellowcastle

StarJustice was already taken... ;o)

rancorbait

@LegoMom1 that's rubbish! Lol.

Peter1975

Well, my username has a simple explaination. My first name is Peter and I was born in the year 1975. So, Peter1975. I also use it as my bricksetname.

Legobutterfly

My username came from my love of LEGO and my husbands name for me :)

On our first date I had been held up at work and didn't have time to change but couldn't have my scrub top be seen (Sister would have found out somehow, she was like the all seeing eye!) so I threw my wooly rainbow striped hoody over the top to hide it.
When we sat down with our drinks my husband commented that he loved my jumper and said I reminded him of a brightly coloured butterfly.

As our dates progressed he started to call me his baby, and when I wore the jumper again he said I was both his baby and a beautiful butterfly, his baby butterfly and it just instantly stuck.
I know it sounds corny, but sometines corny is good :)

The jumper sadly bit the dust a few years back but the name remains and that's pretty much the only thing he calls me now (unless I am in trouble, lol), only using my given name when referring to me to others.

I thought as this is a forum dedicated to the love of LEGO and I do love LEGO I would add that in the front and use the end part of the name I answer to most (with the exception of my boys calling me mummy-moo that is).

MorkMan

^ Great story! ...and full disclosure - I call my wife baby bear. It's been so long we can't even remember why!

gold682

My name came from my favourite shotgun that I own (I have three). It's a Beretta 682 Gold Sporting. Oh, I only shoot clays, in case you were wondering.

MorkMan

Thanks!

Legobutterfly

^^^ Thanks and that is so lovely :D

MorkMan

This has been a great thread - anyone else have anything answers?

BrickCityGrad

Brick City is the nickname for the college from which I received my graduate degree. Google 'Brick City' and the first result reveals the name of my alma mater.

Bluefairy_56

I love the movie A.I. (Artifical Intelligence) and the boy believed the Blue Fairy could make him into a real boy. It's such a sad movie. The 56 is my house number.

KiwiLegoMeister

KiwiLegoMeister? Because I'm from New Zealand - that bit's easy; Lego - self explanatory; and Meister? Well I may not be a Grand Master or anything; but I've been into Lego one way or the other since the '60s, and throw in the Kiwi & the Lego, and Meister fitted pretty well after that.
Been using this ID for 2 or 3 years; however never really been actively into posting anywhere, until the last couple of months - and I'm only around this site because I used BrickSet to inventorise for insurance purposes.

Si_UKNZ

Where in NZ? Im North Shore AKL.

ajm390

ajm390 = initials and my favourite lego kit when I was young (the Cadillac Hobby set)

Somewhere a comfortable drive north of Wellington.
And at least 6 hours south of the Bombay Hills!

Andor

It sound kinda like Anor, A realm in Middle Earth. I'm A big fan of Tolkien.

Redbullgivesuwind

I was trying to be funny......

plasmodium

^Not going to lie, I've been wondering if there was a story behind your name for years now....

Redbullgivesuwind

Sorry it is never as interesting as you hope. It was the first thing that came into my head as a joke. Although I did like @Si_UKNZ‌ reworking a while ago which was "Fizzyparp".

legomatt

This could be a whole 'nuther subject; alternative names we might've/could've had.

carlq

^ In that case, I would have been @Bugwort. ;-)

bobabricks

My favourite starwars character is boba fett and it sounds good mashed up with bricks + it has been my online name for a long time. Over the years other people have started pronouncing it bob-a-bricks.

CapnRex101

^ That reminds me of this brief sketch from Robot Chicken:

Redbullgivesuwind

I love that scene from Robot Chicken.

legomatt

Oh YES! Any excuse for me to go... BOOOOM!

(or maybe not, I've linked that vid so many times.)

:oP

Shib

^^^That is exactly how I feel whenever someone tries to pronounce my name...if you have an odd name you get to a point of 'meh close enough'

My screenname is supposed to be pronounced "AHN-keer" but it seems like most people's brains jump to "ANN-cheer" or "ANN-chire". I've gotten used to it. My fault for choosing an unpronouncable name in the first place, but hey, I was a BIONICLE fan! Perhaps my own screen-name helped me to find appreciation for the relative simplicity of Hero Factory, Chima, and Ninjago names.

iNeedMoreBricks

... mine is simply my truth. (and I was stunned that it wasn't already taken)

Oldfan

^For some people on this site, that statement just isn't true...

...and according to my wife, it's not true for me; but she just doesn't understand...

P3_Super_Bee

Simple really. Was in the US Navy for 20 years on the Lockheed P-3 Orion. So there is the P-3 part. Actually it's All right there. During the P-3B run they had three main avionics upgrades. The first one was called "Super Bee"

Jumpinbeans

I used this name when I played the old Delta Force FPS games back in the late 90's. Have used it for games (PS3/PS4) and online ever since.

GallardoLU

I chose this name because I played Lego Universe heavily and was rather widely known in game as one of the few LUP (Lego Universe Partner). Gallardo being the name in game, so it made sense to use it on other Lego sites (Mocpages as well) LU referencing the game to cap it off properly.

Lego_Star

I chose this username because I love Lego and I love stars, they are my favourite shape and I have quite a few star 'things'. Sometimes, it's a lucky symbol for me, too.

bobabricks

@Lego_Star Do you have all of Lego's star related elements and sets? If not you should get into that. :P

Lego_Star

^ I don't know about all but quite a few, yes! @bobabricks.

sweetness34

Mine comes from growing up in Chicago. Walter Payton was my favorite football player.

His nickname was sweetness and he wore # 34 on his jersey.

legomatt

One day someone called @legomattsdreamgirl will post in here, and then present a remarkably disappointing reason for the name. :oP lol

B0SSK

I love star wars, and one day I will own a lego slave 1 !!

legomatt

^ @B0SSK

I thought it was because you were a giant lizard-man... close enough, though. ;o)

sonsofsceva

Mine is from Acts 19:11-20, where the sons of a priest named Sceva were trying to get rid of a demon in Jesus' name but didn't believe in Jesus themselves. The demon-possessed man then beats up all seven of them and strips them naked. They flee in such a state.
It is one of those stories most people don't know from the Bible and is loosely related to an aspect of my work as a pastor. Also, it is a story that I find humorous.

sonsofsceva

Edit: The pastoral aspect not being running around naked. :-)

mnbvc

I couldn't think of a name that I wanted to use, so I just ran my hand across the bottom line of the keyboard - mnbvc. Suppose I should've thrown xz on the end!

spanky

my username is a nick name my dad gave me.:-)

@sonsofsceva - I've always found that one a bit humorous too :o)

Chose this username since I like the car 'Bugatti Veyron'. I often imagine a tribe of humanlike Veyrons, so they're called 'Veyronians'. Example of one in my profile picture, Photoshopped heavily but essentially the body is constructed of Hero Factory LEGO. I'm the only one, I believe, to do this, hence 'The One Veyronian'. It's crazy, but nearly all my usernames reference this 'tribe' name. :-P

In all the time I've been here, I'd assumed that @TheOneVeyronian‌ was some 40-something, Jeremy Clarkson-esque bloke who was obsessed with fast cars and just happened to have an interest in Lego.

Then I met TOV on Saturday at the Exo-Suit signing...

Never make assumptions - they only make you look foolish!!

:oD

CapnRex101

@BooTheMightyHamster‌ - All this time I was expecting you to be a hamster, but no! I can only assume you are a robot controlled by hundreds of hamsters instead.
