Let's bring back this thread to see what some of our newer members say about their usernames :)
You'll never guess what my username means, it's really cryptic.......
Yeah, no, it's just my name because I'm super creative like that :D
Kalel: Superman, im a big fan :P
According to Babynames.com Jena is an American variant of Gina which is Italian for "Queen" (from the Latin "Regina"). Kal-El is a Kandorian name. El means "of" and Kal means "border," so "Kal-El means "of the border."
As far as I knew, my name is of Arabic origin and means endurance or little bird. I'm more of a princess than a queen.Quote:

it came about from naming my team in the video game Worms on Playstation1, i named one character after my blue heeler "janda".... and added the red part to kind of make it sound piratey! lol (Janda means "goanna" in aboriginal)
janda passed away 2 years ago.... i loved that dog to bits, so now my name stands as a tribute to her.
janda :)
But it was the internet that told me so!Quote:

It'd be funny if someone registered as Sunstreaker's brother. :D
There may have been someone registered under that name when you registered, but never posted here to use it (as such would have been deleted after 12 months - which is a policy I have here to free up character names that would otherwise be wasted, if there is a dedicated fan who could use it).Quote:

if i had it over i like the names Overlord,, (but thats way too high ranking for me)
Cyclonus,
or maybe Slag would've been more fitting:rolleyes:
it's not easy being a go-bot on a transformer site:p
learn something new everyday:DQuote:

Great thread! It's good to see where the great people on this board came up with their names, and it makes me wish I had more imagination :( ( my real name is Mick Macneill) I did toy with the idea "Mackatron" or "Ultra Mackness" but couldn't convince myself!
Ultra Mackness! awesome :PQuote:

Extremely Great... LIKE A BOSS!! (^O^)

Mine is just the reverse of one of my other interests, or more appropriately a passion. My location should give a clue.
If Sworc is ever taken I'll attach a 97 or 98. Two fine years.
I'm considering officially changing my name to Mick Macneill, just so I can use Ultra Mackness if you don't use it. It is that good.
I'll second that! 1997 the year that Beast Wars Season 1 aired for the first time in countries outside North America (and even in the U.S. they were still finishing Season 1 in the earlier half of that year as the series had only begun airing in the latter half of 96). And 1998 was the year when Season 2 aired and Takara gave us Beast Wars Second, which included the second ever theatrical Transformers movie and the first ever toy that had a Matrix (Lio Convoy)! Sure, by today's standards his Matrix isn't terribly fancy, but at the time it was pret-ty cool! :)Quote:

Mine is......3 of my initials.
Exciting, hey?
I have two middle names. Generally I just use the first.
But my first name and both middle names equal CAT
If I add my surname, it gets funny - CATP - cat pee.
I then technically have a third middle name from confirmation when I was a kid. That makes it - CATPP. Cat pee-pee.
See why I just use Cat now? :o
I seriously thought you named yourself Cat because you had a extreme preference for pet cats and had a fussy attitude about TFs just like cats...Quote:

Mine's a boring one. My first name starts with M and it's been my practice to sign off emails/letters/messages with M for many years now. Added the "bot" to reflect the nature of the board. I have a tad of regret now I didn't think it through and pick something more interesting but I guess I'm used to it.:)
Loved reading everyone else's stories!

In '98, Terry Wallace had the genius idea of playing Tony Liberatore at centre-half back and we got spanked.

Wow, I thought I posted here, but I didn't.
Well two words combined into one name = super cool:cool:
Tetsuwan from Astroboy (my fave cartoon as a kid, got me into robots) and Convoy. From a procession of vehicles.:p
I changed from just using my name when we swapped a board sometime in the past.
So, at the time, I was torn between Sonic Convoy (Sonic the hedgehog, plus procession of vehicles) or Tetsuwan. Obviously Tetsuwan won. At the time, Sonic Convoy (from Galaxy force) didn't exist either.
Anyhoo, most people refer to me as Tets now and since most of my friends I met through the board, more people probably call me Tets than my real name... That's a little bit odd...
I've grown rather fond of it now and most of my online ID has been derived from Tetsuwan Convoy on some way or another.
