    When I created my first online account back in the late 90s, I had to come up with a name. I looked down to see my golden retriever, Dave, laying at my feet. I've always called dogs "woofers" and golden retrievers were "golden woofers," so when I saw him, I said, "How's my golden woof?" Then I thought to myself, "Goldenwoof. Hmmmm... It's really stupid, but it's all I got."

    I've been Goldenwoof everywhere online ever since.

    Ouch! I'm going to date myself. My first serious boyfriend had a CB radio and Quicksilver was my "handle." Changed the spelling on some other site, because someone else had the normal spelling. 296 is my badge number at work.

    My nickname as a child was "Bink" because I was addicted to my pacifier (binky). Some family members still call me "Bink". When I had a baby, I started using "bink_n_baby" as my username on various forums (as in "bink and baby"). I took out the underscores, and now it's just stuck with me. I suppose it ought to be "binknbabies" since I have more than one now, but... oh well.

    I got the name from the title of a magazine article about tuning the engine of the IROC Camaro (my dream car) back when it was new in the 80s and fuel injection was a mystery. Years later I finally got one over here in the UK and combined with the fact I like rock music it worked and was pretty much guaranteed to be unique...

    My favorite musical group is Simon and Garfunkel. After trying numerous combinations of the two names when I was in college, I went to a record, found the names of the producers of the album, and put them together. Paul SIMON and Ray HALEE. I like having a some what anonymous user name.

    My username is based on the band from the Muppet Show named Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem. (remember Animal?!) I was raised by hippie parents so naturally that was my favorite show :wink: When i used to play Rock Band and Guitar Hero that was the gaming nickname i came up with and it's stuck ever since.

    I'm Native American... My username is the name of a child that was in one of my summer daycare classes. His name means "Cold sun" in my traditional language (Kanien'kéha). It should actually be written with an upstress (Ioráhkwano). That's an uppercase "i," not a lowercase "L" by the way.

    It's pronounced yo-ROCK-kwa-no.

    You roll the R & emphasize 'rock', then you say the last 2 syllables quickly.

    it's what you get if you cross a neanderthal with a cro-magnon (Homo sapiens sapiens) Like how a liger is a lion + tiger.

    why?

    1. because I'm a palaeoanthropology nerd and palaeolithic people are cool, especially neanderthals, because short, large framed people are automatically cool*

    2. because from the neck downwards, my height, build/frame size and body proportions are more like neanderthals than Homo sapiens sapiens... BUT I have a vertical forehead, pointy chin and dome shaped cranium and I'm alive today so I'm definitely a Homo sapiens sapiens.

    3. According to my husband, I'm "the maximum amount of cute" because of the above (i.e. neanderthal body proportions + cro magnon face). While this might be the most peculiar definition of cute I've come across in my life, I'm not going to argue with him. it's nice to know that someone thinks I'm cute.

    4. because strong women are great and neanderthal women were probably the toughest and strongest women who ever lived

    5. There are some palaeoanthropologists who think that some groups of Europeans may have more than the 1-4% neanderthal DNA that has so far been found through genetic testing.... well if they're right it would bloody well explain why I can't buy bras that fit me because my band size is too big for my cup size due to having a mahoosive rib cage!!

    6. I'm eccentric and stopped caring what other people think about me and my eccentricities. You know that poem about the purple hat? Well I'm wearing my purple hat. And I applaud everyone else who is wearing theirs.


    *that doesn't mean people of other heights and frame sizes are not also cool.... all body types are great in their own way. I like my body and body type because it's mine. Spent too much time in my life hating myself, ain't got no time for that now!!
