Mine means “The Thief” in Irish (gaelic). It was originally a name I had planned as my dj name because most of the tracks I was going to be playing I’d stolen i.e. downloaded.
I’m Jewish and sarcastic.
I suspect there are a lot of these threads; this is simply the first one I came across, so this is the one I’m resurrecting.
I’ve been using this handle since 2006 or so, nearly everywhere I sign things online, but I’m considering starting to sign up with a different handle at other places.
If nobody minds me jumping in on this thread…
My username is my name and the first inital of my last name. I’m kind of wishing I’d come up with something more clever and original, but I’m sticking with this name.
I’m named after a sword of elf-slaying from a D&D adventure my brother wrote.
I was a belly dancer and Sahirrnee (Bewitched) is a song by George Abdo. I like the song to listen to but not to dance to.
Anyway I had come up with all kinds of clever names and one after one they were rejected so I finally said screw it and grabbed this one.
I may just shorten it to Sari, a lot easier to spell and pronounce.
You’ll be Sari if you do that.
You know what’s sad? I had to read that twice:smack:
Since this got re-arrested and I’ve changed mine here’s the new one.
I got an old smurf toy, a little figurine, and he was holding up a mug in a “cheers” position and it was painted yellow with white foam on top. I thought, “That smurf is drinking a beer.” and then changed my name.
I’m a computer dude and control-z is an old school keystroke, it usually means Undo. Which leads to a line from Stairway to Heaven, “Yes there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run, there’s still time to change the road you’re on.”
There are those who think that my handle is simply Lobo (Wolf) + Han (Solo), which would be the baddest-ass creature to ever sniff butt or smuggle spice.
Those people are not wholly wrong.
I took my name from Bob Dylan’s song “Visions of Johanna.” I subscribe to the school of interpretation that believes the song is about Joan Baez (this is a controversial question), and I’m a Baez fan, and I like 3 syllables in a name better than 1—it’s better for singing, for one thing; I cannot imagine anyone singing *“Visions of Joan.” Johanna is not my real name, though.
I am have already responded up-thread, but mine is my initials. Yawn. If I could do it over again, at least I would go with geegaw or gobbledygook or something!
Not necessarily - sometimes “Sari” seems to be the hardest word…
I am a very late adopter of technology and new media - I’ve only had a cellphone for about three years, I only just recently started texting regularly, and I’ve never blogged or played video games. On the information superhighway, I’m the one in the buggy with the sign that says “Caution: Slow Moving Vehicle”.
I am also a runner - a fat, slow runner. (Nine 10ks and two half-marathons in four years, though. I’m slow, but I get there in the end.)
I really, really enjoyed the Foundation trilogy and Hari Seldon was a mathematician, as I am and so…
Mine is just my first name and zip code (I also go by ms63129 on some other sites, using my first and last initial).

Helena Cain from Battlestar Galactica. “Helena” was taken so I added my birthday, March 30.
Simply my first name and then “dog” as in sausage in a bun rather than the animal.
Just a nickname given to me by a friend after I made him my version of an Icelandic pylsur (sausage, bun, raw onion, fried onion, ketchup, mustard, remoulade) which he’d never had before. Thereafter it was a Rob Dog.
Zeppelin Song, and because I once locked the keys in the car on a night of torrential rain, and had to walk 3 miles home to get the spare keys.
An obscure character from an obscure old movie; the character appealed to me on a couple of different levels - the name, and the fact that the character was an old man actually played by an old woman.
