Why are you called.....The Great Screen Name Thread

[oversea]

My origonal name was simple non-diving related, but then it stopped working so I had to make another one, so I got the bright (dumb) idea to make up a diving name that in no way is representative of me, its just what I thought of at the time.

[El Orans]

El Orans is the Arabian name given to T.E. Lawrence aka Lawrence of Arabia. And Lawrence just happens to be my first name.

 

[salimbag]

I was deep in the rain forest on Palawan working with a group of hunter-gatherers when they pointed out a big reticulated python hidden among the rocks. I pounced on it and subdued it after a bit of a struggle and eventually carried it back to their forest camp. Later, I heard them refer to me as "Salimbag," the name of an ancient deity which happens to be a big, white hominid-like creature that is friend of all the animals of the forest. So that was my knickname there and is here, both places where we share a spirit of adventure.

[mania]

I'm not very original. Mania is a nick name for Maria - which is my real name. They used to call me Mania in the high school
Mania
(it's pronanouced like maniac, of course without the "c" at the end)

 

[Former FLL Now MSP Diver]

Why did you choose your log-in name?
What does it signify?

FLL is the airport code of Ft. Lauderdale. Diver is...well duh.

After reading all the posts, I think my log in signifies mostly my lack of imagination at the time when I registered.

I have thought of changing it, but I don't want to lose that valuable posting number and designation by starting over again.

[pipedope]

It takes a real pipedope to do it again and again.

I used to be a commercial diver working largely in stormwater drain systems in FL. I recently retired due to medical reasons.

If I had known I would live this long I would have taken better care of my body.
