Your handle!

[( o Y o )]

What's it mean, how did you get it etc?

I'm considering changing mine as it was supposed to be a short term temp handle that I got stuck with when certain people refused to help out with another account that got frozen.

The meaning is not too hard to understand though. lol

[Grant Ellis]

Grant Ellis:
My first name, being Grant.
My last name, being Ellis.

Grant is Old English, meaning "Grande" or "Great"

Ellis is an anglical version of the Greek "Elias" or "Elijah" in Hebrew, who was a great prophet or also one who is a forerunner.

So, in effect, my handle means "The Great Forerunner", but it is also what people call me on a day to day basis.

[Fozzy]

awww but we love OYO!!!!!!! :P

well, mine came from a rock band www.fozzyrock.com which I stumbled upon by accident one day and which totally got me into music... thats about it ^^; been using it for.... SO LONG now.

~Foz

[freefightdave]

Mine`s just the first thing I came up with. My name is David and I like mma so... It`s a stupid name since it makes it seem like I fight in mma, which I don`t (not yet atleast;))

~Foz

Is that the same Fozzy that Chris Jericho's the singer in?

Anyway:

Fielding Mellish is the name of Woody Allen's character in the film 'Bananas'.

Other than that being my favourite Woody Allen movie I can't really explain why I chose it. But I'd had a few beers at the time.

Satan=System Administrator's Tool for Analyzing Networks

I'd initially not planned on posting under this handle. Were just going to use it for system-related tasks.

lol

[Eric Persson]

Eric Persson is my name.

Eric means "Lone Emperor".

[Kamatari]

It's my name.

This dates back to the days in obscure private chat rooms where my friends and myself used to do PBPs and rip fights for the less fortunate. I haven't actually been on the internet that long, about 2 years I think.

I originally wanted to go with another one because I was a "fan" (if that's possible) of that particular legendary samurai growing up. Both handles have animated cross-dressing bishounen namesakes too.

[chinese coral]

i once read something about women tend to chose names with a femine twist like "SweetButterfly19", the name of a flower etc and men would chose the name of their favourite movie hero, the name of their car etc. So i thought i would be the stereotype and use the name of a flower i like :p

[GarouMAX]

Well "Hungry Wolf" doesn't sound cool enough for a forum handle, "Theeb Yo3an" just sounds funny, so I decided to go with Garou. I just love what it symbolizes, one who is filled with ambition (at least that's what I'd like it to mean). I added the MAX part because I'm a fan of that particular promotion, and frankly "Garou" sounds pretty plain without it.

[Grant Ellis]

My usual handle is "Sexy Muppet"...for obvious reasons.

[Fozzy]

Is that the same Fozzy that Chris Jericho's the singer in?

indeed it is! and contrary to whatever anyone says I think they are awesome!

funny story.. my friend greg tried getting me into WWF back when it was on, (like... far out ummm like 5 or 6 years ago now) but anyways he tried getting me into it and I had by accident completley stumbled onto one of Fozzy's songs while I was on napster, and so I got it, and then found out Chris Jericho was in it. so i was like hmmm... okay wrestling might be okay to watch. lol

and then i became a big wrestling nuthugger for.... years XD

aye aye aye..

~Foz

[nycfreefight]

My name comes from New York City (nyc), the city in which I live, and Free Fighting Illustrated.Com (freefight) the name of my website.
It's the only New York City based website I believe.

[ArtOfWar]

Really nice thread going on here =). I selected ArtOfWar because (o Y o) was already taken *smirk*

Had a chance to play the Art Of War PC games for Intel 8088 based PCs as a kid and was hooked in under 20 mins. Ended up reading the (translated) work of Sun Tzu (the dude in my av) available at the following link http://www.kimsoft.com/polwar.htm

Prob one of the greatest works ever; the philosophy of a manuscript written over 2400 years ago is still being used in modern times by commanders and generals.

Kinda lame huh? :P

[FieldingMellish]

Lame? I don't think so.

Its certainly better than taking your handle from the name of an idiotic loser in a Woody Allen movie!

[( o Y o )]

I agree.


LOL


Or having people address you as boobs.....or having to explain who you are when you meet someone in real life that has only know you online.

"hey mate, how`s things? I`m boobs/tits"

lol

[FieldingMellish]

Funny thing is I'd been psoting on forums you were on for a few months, and had spoken to/argued with you a few times, before I actually realised one day what your handle actually meant. I just thought it was a slightly odd way of putting OYO.

That was pretty stupid of me.

[( o Y o )]

I would agree with you with that final line of yours, but it seems MOST people are the same way. In fact, I stole the handle from a girl I used to be online friends with and she had to explain to me what it meant too! lol

You would be surprised the number of people that actually say, or read it oyo.....kinda like the oreo cookies!

Hey, as I said it was SUPPOSED to be a temp account for a week or two....

[( o Y o )]

Oh.....what did we argue about BTW??

[Kamatari]

Shut up, both of you.

If you add an "o" in front of my name and knowing that people online like to call me "kama" for some reason... Well, try to contend with that. This is hilarious because a phrase called "okama no kama-tsukai" exists. I don't really have to worry about it, because people type it as "Katamari".

[FieldingMellish]

Oh.....what did we argue about BTW??

Think I was ripping K-1 mainly.

So waht does "okama no kama-tsukai" mean?

[( o Y o )]

I can`t remember at all.....I guess the last couple of years damned near every rips into K-1, so.....lol

Oh, and as for Okama......LMFAO!! Thats as bad as my sisters good-friends mothers name.....being "Gay".

[FieldingMellish]

Yeah, but what does it mean? You bastards are discrimianting against me for not knowing Japanese!! I need to know! I'm desparate to know!!!

Discrimination of Mellish RAGE!!!!!!!!

[( o Y o )]

Okama means gay, or faggot.

I think with the phrase it is like "slave of a fag" or "a fags slave" though the nuance may be lost on me....

[-=[DM]=-]

You would be surprised the number of people that actually say, or read it oyo

guilty as charged :o

DM = Bad imagniation when choosing username just picking the first best letters that pops up in your head, lol

[Ring Girl]

Ummm....I'm a girl.

And I like watching fights in the ring, and training. So, I thought it made a funny pun.

[Grant Ellis]

And I like watching fights in the ring, and training. So, I thought it made a funny pun.

I was actually going to use the name "Ring Boy" and post an avatar of Matt Lindland smiling (maybe even photoshop his front teeth out, and give him a nice curly head of hair)...

... but then I heard there was a "Ring Girl" out there and decided this forum was only big enough for one.

[El Presidente]

While registering at Sherdog I was stuck for a username... Radiohead was playing in the background and the song was "El Presidente". So I just used that and it seemed to stick after a while.

I even did a comic strip a while back titled "el Presidente"

[Cracked_Knuckle]

Not much thought in mine. A broken knuckle.

[smacktime]

Mine came about when fighting for my blackbelt I was 1 win & 1 loss and I needed to win my final fight to get it. My mate who was videoing me said something like " yeah boy... Smacktime....kill him!" and since then its just stuck. Sounds gay now, but it sounds good on the video!

[RobinG]

mine is my surname and the first letter in my family name :)

[Charuto]

My mixed my name, "Charles" and that of an anime character, "Naruto" and viola! Being on MMA forums though, you would think I'm just a big fan of Renato Verrissimo, but to this day I have yet to watch a single fight of his.

[freefightdave]

you would think I'm just a big fan of Renato Verrissimo
Guilty as charged:)

[killlah]

killlah from "killer"
friend gave me this nick on a university, during playing Quake 2 dethmatch - i was the best fraggers on a LAN :)

they call me killer, i've changed it to killla (with 3 L), but on IRC it was a hell (questions like "hey, killla, you are girl?" all the time), so i changed it to killlah and leaves IRC :)

[Rattlesnake840]

I used to be a big WWE fan back in the Day, dont flame meplease :) I got Rattlesnake from Stone Cold Steve Austin. The Texas Rattlesnake.

[Rissole]

I agree.


LOL

Mine, MEAT!! I like meat!! Rissoles on the barbie http://www.ironmagazineforums.com/images/smilies/yes.gif

[K++s]

Oh.....what did we argue about BTW??

Probably something about your nuthuggery of Pride if it was on SD.

Mine is actually a typo.

It was suppose to be "K+l+s" which was how a society i'm apart of spells the latin word "kalos" which translate (I believe) to "good / beautiful"...

Yes, i think highly of myself... :D

[zymogen]

I registered while I was 'learning' for an exam. I had no idea which name I should take, so I decided for a keyword in my notations.
zymogen - sounds great, looks nice - just like me :cool:

[Grant Ellis]

Not Jake "The Snake" Roberts?

[K++s]

Not Jake "The Snake" Roberts?

Dude!!!

That was a python...

Though he did use a viper or cobra near the end of his stint (which if i'm not mistaken as an angle bit him in the face)...

Geez...

N00b.

[SOUL_FIGHTER]

I got it from FUJITA. I was obsessed with the "SOUL" on his butt, and afterwards, I started to play "Soul Blade."

So I was like, "Man, I want a pair of those SOUL shorts! I want to be a SOUL FIGHTER!!"

I also started calling my style "SOUL FIGHTING", but it soon evolved to "SOUL SONIC STYLE"

[bbbmarc]

how can i explain bbbmarc?
well first of all i used "marc hansson" for a while as my alias - which isn't my real name, not even close, that's where i took "marc" from,.. so i was marc - but i couldn't register nowhere as marc or even as MarcH, so i added bbb in front for no particular reason but to avoid numbers or shit like that in people address books, forums, newsletters, etc

there's one meaning of bbb though - bad blue boys = exterme fans of football club dinamo from zagreb, and yeah i was the member of bbb when i was teenager, but since i'm in early/mid 30s now - that bbb in my nick sounds rediculous

[MexicanFighter39]

I'm Mexican And I Do Like A Nice Fight Hence The Fighter Part. The 39 Of Course Comes From My Favorite Fighter Of All Time Kazushi Sakuraba.

[Kusemono]

I could not think of anything for awhile so I was just gonna put my real name but since I used that for my screen name I decided not to.I just got thru reading the Hagakure again and Yamamoto-san seem to like kusemono so thats what I chose.Means ruffian in modern Japanese.

[bbbmarc]

Shut up, both of you.

funny thing is that in croatian:
kamatari = mobsters, who collect racket or loan money to people with interest
(kamate = interests)

[Sudoraba]

genki SUDO + sakuRABA = SUDORABA

guess who I am fans of...

No, no, it's Dave Menne, you dummy!

[FieldingMellish]

No, no, it's Dave Menne, you dummy!

Is it balls, its Paul Varelans, you ninny!

[Jules]

Mine is the first name of one of my favorite movie performances by Samual L. Jackson.

[Angelco]

Well, my name is written Anđelko, and it is pronounced Andjelko. dj = italian g so that's why I've chosen to take Angelco ('c' fits with a 'g', a 'k' not) :p
