Contrary to what HCP will have you believe I did not get my SN from a male lovers in prison. My middle name is Razzak. A few years ago I had this cute coworker who asked what my middle name was and so she started calling me DaRizzle. When first signing up to bbf I didnt think it would really matter since I didnt plan on really joining any forum, since I never had before. Im sure everyone when they first see it thinks Im trying to be some hip hop wannabe white dude which is the furthest thing from the truth.

I sort of dont like it anymore but I thought it would suck for others if I changed my name...i know i dont like when people do that

...and yes, I hooked up with her

Honestly, the whole time i was reading this I was like "I wonder what happened to the coworker".
 
Mine is a nickname given to me by a friend, born out of a drunken bar crawl. I'm told I look Greek, and because I was hitting the Ouzo pretty hard (amongst other things) he started calling me Nikolokolus The Great ... I'll give you one wild arsed guess what my real name is.

Joe Smith
 
My wife works at a in-patient mental ward... she brings home free coffee cups with medication advertisements on them... one of them says Paxil. I used to use Pax in some online games... but when I tried to register on a board before the 3rd great migration, it was already taken... so I just used Paxil.
 
I've never been into nicknames so I just use my initials.

I met my wife online. I use to help her sister with tech support online and she intro us. When I drove back to Racine, WI, to pick Karla up and drive her back here her nephews only knew me as mgb and when I got there they kept yelling "MGB is here!! MGB is here!!".

That was over 10 years ago. We just had our 10th marriage anniverary May 30th.

Ouzo's good shit! Take a shot of that and feel it to your toes!
 
When dick weed (Bonzi Wells) proclaimed that Portland fans needed to be "more professional" after the game in which he flipped us off in the Rose Garden, I decided to heed his advice and I went pro in my fandom.
 
My old name (Perfection) came from the fact that I am a recovering Perfectionist and it was a daily humbling reminder. Although I must say my five years in college were nothing more than a mediocre education in partying, and I'm really no better off for it.

My current name comes from how I consider myself, an all-around balanced individual, and there is a fraternity meaning as well.
 
The inimitable EnglandDan, the lovely and gracious MrsDan, a former OLive poster who shall remain nameless, and I were playing pool in a bar after attending a game one night. The three of them proceeded to get cut off by the bartender, and while I ordered and drank another beer merely to drive home the point that I had most certainly not been cut off even though I was as drunk as all three of them put together, we began discussing our options for continuing the party at another location despite the fact that a good-sized percentage of the beer I was drinking at the time was ending up in my sizeable and rather shaggy beard. A bleary-eyed EnglandDan, relatively fresh off telling a story about some sort of reenactment of the battle of Hoth, turned to me and said, "I'm going wherever the Wookiee is going." The next day, I was BlazerWookie (I could only use 12 characters) on OregonLive.com, and it stuck. TyroneLaces and HyperBully were immediatly and unceremoniously retired. It wasn't long before I permanently lost the "-ie" moniker in a drunken insult fest, and I've been "-ee" ever since. I even went so far as to get "WOOKEE" licence plates for my car, lol. Yes, I'm that big a dork.

I did this over at the "old" site last year and thought it was real cool. I would love to find out what your name means and where it came from. 2 examples- Myself HCP was my name when I used to DJ back in the day. And DaRizzle was the name given to him by his man lovers in prison. Let's hear it boys!

You will never get the secret out of me.
 
Little Alex is what the school councilor called the main character in "A Clockwork Orange". After we had both gone through nasty breakups, s buddy of mine and I would spend many weekends drinking Jagermeister watching that stupid movie. I probably have seen it over 20 times, which says alot about me, none of it good.
 
Blazers Loved Universally Especially For Recognition Of Greatness
 
^to me it does...Ive seen it a lot in differnt SN's but have no clue what it means
 
I needed a name for an online game in 1994 or so. On a whim, I picked "Minstrel" because I enjoyed writing short stories and poems, I was hugely into music and I love the carefree, irreverent style I associate with wandering minstrels.

In that game, I really enjoyed playing the character to the hilt, and it felt very me, so I began using it as my online identity in any informal venue (basically, anywhere where you don't have to use your name).
 
Simple. A friend called me Speed in college. I then used "Speed" as my name on O-Live. Then, I got booted and came back as "KingSpeed."
 
Whatever happened with that NBA spot you auditioned for?

Gramps...

PapaG

Papa - one of the first sports talk hosts I heard was Papa Joe Chevalier when I was loading wine into trucks during college in the early-mid '90s.

G - my first name begins with a G.

I've had an ESPN account with this moniker for over ten years, possibly more, but that is as far back as they are giving me credit. I posted on ESPN for years, begrudgingly made the move to BBF full-time a few years ago, and ended up here last month after Cinco_de_Bozo, with help from a few others, decided that treating some of us like garbage was a solid business model.

That's cool. Papa Joe is an old friend of mine. I worked for him for a few months in 1999. I would tell him what NBA stuff to talk about. Of course, I told him to talk about the Blazers a lot.
 
mas means more in spanish and it was my word back in high school and rip city is what Portland is all about
 
PtownBlazer1

Well we all know Ptown, but I have always used Blazer1. That was my license plate when I lived in washington and plan on getting one on my car here in Oregon soon. But is the airplane of the team still called Blazer 1? Oh well...thats my story and I'm sticking to it.
 
After throwing one too many handfuls of popcorn at my wife at the movie theater during a crappy romantic comedy she dragged me to, she got fed up and dumped the entire vat over my lap. Hence, she was the "dumper" and I became the "dumpee." Eight years ago I wanted to make one simple post on an internet bulletin board, and in the middle of a brain freeze I chose "Dumpy." I had no idea I would eventually be known to thousands by that name.
