I've noticed lots of cool user names and I'm curious as to how people came up with them. I chose Fishoholic because I'm addicted to the fish in this hobby.

I just used my boyfriend's name because mine was already used on this forum. So if "Roderick's" posts seem kind of feminine, it is because they are! I wanted to come up with a cool fish handle, but number of posts count so I am unsure if this is a good idea. Is there any way we can transfer our number of posts to a new user name?

We used to have an aquatic frog as our department mascot, and being a bunch of geologists, we called it Geofrog. I liked the name so I use it now.

It was my first Dachshunds name after the Taco Bell commercial...where the little Chihuahua says "Por Favor...drop the Chaloupa" I don't know...it just stuck, and no one else ever chooses it (no worries there) so I use it on all the sites.

I wanna tell ya, but its adult content. :p

Just kidding, i was dubbed fudge/superfudge sometime in elementary school..i dont remember what i had for breakfast let alone that long ago.

The class was being read a couple books by the author Judy blume, and was titled "superfudge" and "tales of a fourth grade nothing" for the little runt that the story was about, some of you may remember this.
Needless to say the kid was a terror and needed some serious therapy and a box of riddelin.

Well, i guess there`s no need to mention why the teacher called me fudge...and the students soon after, then my friends and family after that.

Damnit, where`s my shrink ?

:D

Back when I got my first computer in 95 or 96 I was trying to pick an email address. I had just bought my boat that is a Prowler made by Cooper Yachts and I was going to name it C Prowler, so I used that for my very first email address that I still have to this day. I still have the boat and have not named it in all this time.

Reef Princess...well sounds kind of stuck up, BUT, I choose this name because my husband and boys got me a 29 bio cube for my 40th birthday in April. The "Princess" part of the present is because he looks after all of the water chemistry and does the water changes, etc.... So basically I am a Reef Princess that only picks things to put into into the tank and place them where I want. Great Present!!!:

I changed my user name because of this thread. We were just using our real first names - but thought we could do better than that so came up with Pier Pressure.

Rod wants to get a cartoon of a guy having his head slammed between a boat and a pier but I am not sure where to find something like that.
