Screen name . . . where'd you get it?

[-Goose-]

---

Members don't see this ad.

Since high school, my best friend would always bring me along on his 'dates' (we called them 'sexcapades') with girls (sometimes 2-3 dates in one night). I had this steady girlfriend back then, so I was always the wingman. So he started calling me Goose.

 

[Touchdown]

It was my high school football team nickname, despite the fact that I was an OT and never touched a football let alone score a touchdown.

 

[OldManDave]

My sobriquet came from my girlfriend, now wife of 11 years. She is 6 years my junior & was working in the same ICU as I was when she was a nursing student & I was one of the lead resp terrorists at Ark Children's Hosp PICU. When we started seeing one another, the who-hah was all about our age difference - she had just barely turned 21. So, w/o all of the gory details, she contrived the tongue-in-cheek: OldManDave.

 

[MirrorTodd]

I got mine from the t.v. show "Scrubs." It's the funniest show I've seen and "The Todd" is such an idiot, but he's still a great surgeon. "You look totally hot Mirror Todd."

 

[akinf]

Mine is pretty boring

Akin is my first name, F is the first letter of my last name, put them together, and you get akinf.

😴

 

[freelove]

My nickname is "free" and the "love" thing just kinda flowed. Yes, I am well aware of the connatations the name has, and I have never in my life condoned or participated in casual sex... yet.

That reminds me, I kinda need an avatar...

"this" steady girlfriend? sounds like you were in love...

 

[lilnoelle]

Noelle is my middle name and the name I use to wish was my first name. For a while I switched to Noelle (when I moved out of the house). At that time, I signed up for a hotmail address, and used my middle name/last name. Since then, I got married and switched my address again to use my middle name and current last name - which also is my daughter's first and last name. Since I'm not very creative, and its my email address, I used it as my SDN screen name as well.

 

[nimotsu]

"荷物" (romanized to nimotsu) means "luggage" or "baggage" in Japanese. Since the application process is equivalent to getting tossed around like a piece of baggage at the airport, I thought it was fitting.

wow, that's clever. 👍

 

[leahmaria]

I look like Doctor Octopus. Bowl haircut, thick-framed glasses, green form-fitting clothing.

Just kidding. The octopus is my favorite thing to see when I go scuba diving.

I agree with SanDiegoSOD, this is a fun thread!

me too!! i saw an octopus on a recent night dive in utila honduras and it was incredible!!!!

 

[jackieMD2007]

Well I'm not very creative.
My first name is Jackie.
I want to do MD.
I'm applying for 2007.

Any questions?

 

[):(]

I chose this screen name because I didn't want people to remember my screen name (they can't pronounce it in their thoughts, so it is harder to remember). I am a rather shy person.

 

[CCEVJG]

mine is pretty simple...

it's the initials of the first names of me, my wife, and my four daughters.

yes, four daughters....this is why it's important to have a TV 😀

 

[BrownianMotion]

mine is my first name...guess im not too creative in this process...

 

[CatsandCradles]

CatsandCradles is from a song by Harry Chapin.

But in the song, it's Cats "IN THE" Cradles. I was in eighth grade then and I thought it was Cats "and" Cradles.

Maybe you guys know the song...

Cats in the cradles and the silver spoon'
little boy blue and the man in the moon
When ya commin home dad?
-I don't know when
But we'll be together again...




Its a really sad song though. Sort of reflects my melancholy I suppose.

 

[engdoc]

engdoc... pronounced... ENG- DOC
eng for engineering ... (undergrad) doc for doctor....
😎

 

[Doula-2-OB]

Mine is ridulously obvious. I'm a doula, headed to OB/GYN. LOL

My other username is dynamicdoula (elsewhere), which is also my business name.

Man, I am lame.

You're 'frownie' to me.

 

[Dr Durden]

Dr Durden because of:

1) Nostalgia, as my entire hall was obsessed with that movie freshman year (*waves to Vandy lurkers*)

2) Irony, as a heavily regimented medical career is about the last job that an anarchist would pursue.

3) Accuracy, as my second life on SDN has made me a guru of sorts amongst friends, albeit on med school admissions as opposed to general mayhem

and finally

4) Simplicity, as I needed a name fast to join the Official Score Release Countdown Thread before it was too late: I simply looked up and saw a certain DVD.

Caboose.

 

[booswim542]

booswim542 - I came up with this as my first email address and it also stuck.

1. My nickname used to be Boo
2. I swam for 13 years
3. My goal time for the 100 freestyle when I was 14 was 54.2.

 

[DrSwede]

Bedpan Commando...

It was a nickname given to me when I was a medic in the Air Force by those who were a little jealous of the living conditions we medical personnel enjoyed.

I wear it as a badge of honor 😀

 

[HTD]

I worked in a Chinese restaurant in undergrad. The manager moved here from China (formerly in the Chinese Opera, but that's for another story about unfair kareoke contests). He started every sentence, good or bad, with "goddamnit baby" such as

"Goddamnit baby, table 4 needs more water" or
"Goddamnit baby, you are doing a good job"

So whenever my friends and I would talk about anything we would use "goddamnit baby" to start the converstation. As a matter of fact, I just called an old grad school friend of mine who I hadn't talked to in a while. She must have seen my number pop up and when she answered she said "goddmanit baby, how have you been?"

Best one I have read in this thread! "goddamnit baby, how have you been?"

 

[MasterMD]

Caboose.

I think the band owes me a shirt or something for all the free plugs they get on this site because of me.

[MaiPenRai]

Mai Pen Rai means everything from "It's all good" to "You're forgiven" to "I want it/don't want it" in Thailand. Since I am living here and dealing with applying from third world internet cafes, complete with power outages and mosquitoes, etc., I feel like it's best just to go with the flow.

 

[Summer Sweet]

Summer vacation is sweet as hell. Too bad I have to spoil this summer with classes 🙁

 

[DropkickMurphy]

Mai Pen Rai means everything from "It's all good" to "You're forgiven" to "I want it/don't want it" in Thailand.

More importantly: "How do you say which way to the 14 y/o hookers?" in Thai?


NOTE: Before I get flamed, the above was said with total sarcasm.

 

[MaiPenRai]

More importantly: "How do you say which way to the 14 y/o hookers?" in Thai?

คุก = prison. As in:

Pom ja you pak Thai see sip bpi...ti คุก (khook) neung haaeng. Nong gah ree you tee nai?

I want to be in Thailand for 40 years...in a prison. Where are the young prostitutes?

 

[geno2568]

its my aim screenname

geno is my nickname (real name Gene)

2,5,6, and 8 were the songs playing on my Linkin Park's Hybrid Theory CD when I was looking for a number string to put on the end

 

[Haemulon]

Haemulon is a the latin name for a fish genus in the family Haemulidae. Ironically, the picture used for my avatar is a juvenile Anisotremus, which is in the same family but is obviously a different genus. I thought the name sounded cool and was waiting to see if someone recognized the difference between my name and the avatar. I know, total dorkage. 😀

 

[Jamesmtl]

Jamesmtl = James in Montreal. Simple.

 

[vwhan]

I love my vdub, why else?

 

[Mooby]

I started using this screen name after watching Dogma. Mooby the golden calf. Mooby was more recently featured in Clerks 2 which I highly recommend.

 

[geno2568]

jehman enjineerin in da house....ya?


(time to unpimp ze oto)

 

[Looque]

Pronounced with a long double-o sound as featured in words such as "poop," mine's an alternate spelling of my name.

 

[mintendo]

My screenname is a combination of my name and Nintendo. Can't beat that.

 

[Sol Rosenberg]

One of my nicknames is Jota (the letter "J" in Spanish) because my real name is Jay.

Jota was already taken as a screen name, so I just added another jota onto the end.

As it turns out, jota, jota are my initials, so that works too....

 

[joanofarc0907]

used this for a now defunct hotmail account in highschool. it came about after someone randomly called me joan of arc at lunch one day. (i have no idea why, never have!) became somewhat of a joke, but lasted longer as my email address. The numbers are my birthday Sept. 7th

 

[captaindargo]

my name captaindargo comes from farscape (my all time favorite show). One the main guys is Ka D'Argo and he later became captain of moya... so captaindargo

I'll certainly have a drink in your honor back in Ohio. 👍

 

[ParvatiP]

Some dedicated fans will recognize my user name...
Harry Potter is one of my favorite books and I think the name Parvati is cool. The ending P, of course, is for Patil.

lol I suppose the confusion is understandable, and it should be something I just naturally explain by now. I go to Miami University, which is in Oxford, Ohio (near Cincinnati). The University of Miami is in Miami, Florida. As a bit of trivia, Miami University was a university when Florida still belonged to Spain (and well before the city of Miami was founded).
