| 871973 | 2010-04-02 04:58:00 | I've got a myriad of usernames, first one I ever had was Ubergeek (after seeing it in the comic strip 'zits'). When I joined on here, Ubergeek was taken, so I went for Geekster. When I joined trademe, Ubergeek was taken there too, so I chose Ubergeek85 (number doesn't mean anything, only went for it because the numbers are close together). This place is the only one where I still use Geekster. Most of the time, I use Ubergeek85, or, occasionally, Geekster85. Also have jesse.beer, but that's only for email. Story behind that is; when I was knee-high to a grasshopper, my mum got a kids book out from the library, and one of the charecters in it was a bear named Jesse (also my first name). So she called me that for years and years. I hated it, but the best I could do was to change bear to beer. |

| 871975 | 2010-04-02 05:14:00 | No real story behind my name - I was quite surprised such a generic name was available, so I registered it and the rest is history. | somebody (208) | ||
| 871976 | 2010-04-02 05:28:00 | Mine's an acronym that I started using back when I was studying: Nice Old FAshioned Male Just kind of stuck with it, partly because I never found it used elsewhere - and I guess I consider myself something of a renaissance man. |

| 871980 | 2010-04-02 07:34:00 | Bout 12 years ago I used to play LaserStrike every weekend with a bunch of mates. We had accounts and needed a game name. I have a long tongue (not far off the guinness world record) so someone suggested lizard. I've used it as my nickname ever since... | Lizard (2409) | ||
