    I have a pink elephant stuffed animal that I named fluffernutter after the sandwich (peanut butter and marshmallow cream). I have always thought it was such a fun word to say. I now always us it for my user name.

    Mine originated as my personal tag of the graffiti sort, a long time ago; it became my primary online user name and has been for a very long time. It's a simple combination of anarchist and kitty, which makes sense to those who know me well IRL. :)

    psj are my initials, 3809 is the best result in the history of my NFL team (Oakland Raiders) when they won the Superbowl 38-09 back in the 1983 season !

    I chose psj3809 as i needed a hotmail account years back, obvoiusly my full name had gone so i just went for something different as i was sick and tired of 'that account has already been taken....' messages when i kept trying slight variations.

    My uncle suddenly started to call me 'the most royal humble lordly Lord Sam; king of kings' etc... So I thought that was funny (being fairly young) and it just stuck!


    It's not some weird magic, dark lord type reference! :eek:

    Nice! Actually I thought it was a sort of quotation of the character from the movie "the island", with Ewan McGregor (six echo)..with your personal modification (so..echoseven).
    I'm a big fan of star wars but I didn't remember of the small echoseven unit!

    Anyway...may nickname is very simple...as one of my occupations is being a poker dealer...playerout seemed a good name..recalls something about me, or at least about something about what I do! eheh:)

    Mine is my name. But I've also used Eredhel for decades. That stems from my digging into Tolkien's languages after reading lots of the non LoTR stuff.

    i like muffins

    flying muffins seemed better

    so, SkyMuffin.

    (on Steam my icon is actually a muffin with a superhero cape)

    also, I later learned that "SkyMuffin" happens to be an uncommon term for Airline Stewardesses. o_O

    It is also a term for when a cat is sitting on something high up and stretches out it it's paws. Looks like its kneading dough!...

    My handle is the first letter of Eric and first three of my last name, just thought it sounded cool at the time. Been using it as a computer name since the early 90s, before the "emo" scene came on stage. Had I known then I might have chosen something different, I keep getting twitter and GC requests from depressed kids with 'emo' in their handles :p

    A long time friend of mine's nickname has been Emos since the 80's. His name is also Eric. And he definitely shares your lack of love for the emos tainting over the years!

    I used the name I gave to a fish I kept a few years ago. A Heros Severus, one of my favourites. (Quite unlike the Harry Potter bloke, although I like him too.)
