What’s the Deal with your User Name?

[Walkingadventure]

Walkingadventure:
What a great idea for a name- maybe next time I can add a few more letters.

As I sat in the basement, signing up to GC to start an adventure I had no idea what was in store for us. I asked the family for some input but was rejected, leaving it up to me.

A play on my last name (Walker) and my outlook on life (Adventure). After signing my name on over 2200 caches, I regret the long name. Oftern I sign now either WalkAdv or at events (or long caching days) I drop down to WA.

Always like hearing the story behind the names that are less than obvious.

We sign nano logs SL, so if we were given to short online logs, we could say SL SL. Always wonder why people are thanking us for caches we didn’t put out or telling us what they did at some cache we had nothing to do with. You know, those ones that say: TFTC SL and TNLN SL 😉 😆

Like Walkingadventure, I had no idea when we signed up for this thing called geocaching that we’d be signing so many times…

Our name has to do with the fact that I didn’t want our family to get so caught up in geocaching that we forget where our treasure really lies. I know it’s a hard name for some to type (or it looks rather foreign) but the main thing was for us to be reminded every time we sign a log…

R (our) Trezrs (treasure’s) N (in) hvn (heaven)

I’ll have to go look up what RT is an acronym for so I can see if we should sign nanos that way… although I don’t have the patience to roll them back up. I appreciate them, but they aren’t my fav kind of find…

[kmhiker]

When we started caching, I always hiked in the kettles, We did the Northern Unit 3 times, always in the fall, and of course we took the “horde” with us. Our avitar is of the horde. 4 labs.

[Team mysticangel-tom]

Ours is very simple, when we started Geocaching, we had two kitties. Their names are Angel and the other mystic. Hence Team MysticAngel, we added the – Amy or -Tom to keep us separate on the forums pages so it would be less confusing.

We do not use separate GC accounts since we cache together 90 % of the time.

[BigJim]

I thought we went through this not too long ago, but here goes: my name is Jim, I am big, and i was born in 1960. The BigJim actually stemmed from when my son was in Cub Scouts and I was Cubmaster. We had the stroke of genius to name him Jim, so people needed a way to keep us straight. Hence we became known as Big Jim and Little Jim. Well Little Jim is now 24 years old, 6’1 and around 300 lbs. I’m still slightly taller and heavier than him, so I can still claim the moniker, but I’ve lost almost 50 pounds in the last year, so I’m not as big as I once was. My goal is to get down to 300 by the end of the year, so no more park and grabs 😆

All opinions, comments, and useless drivel I post are mine alone and do not reflect the opinions of the WGA BOD.

[Walkingadventure]

I was searching through the archives and added my info which caused this to bubble/bump back to the top.

You are right Jim- someplace, lately I remember seeing your info.

[mufflers2112]

Since we cache as a family we decided to use our last name. We all enjoy the music of Rush, especially their 2112 album, so we added that and it was shorter than the rest of their albums. (I wanted something with Styx, but I was out-voted) 🙂

[donb01]

Mine’s pretty boring. When I first got on the internet I used “donb” as my login and E-mail address for everything. Somewhere along the line the internet gods decided I needed to have a 6-character username so I just slapped an 01 (zero one) at the end of it because, in my book, I’m number 1 :oP I use it for just about every forum, social networking site, etc that doesn’t force me to login with my E-mail address. Funny thing is around 2001 I started running my own servers for my internet stuff (donsworld.org) so I relaxed the rules on the system and once again I can use “donb” for my own stuff!

See…. Told yah it was boring!

[stubbs13]

Stubbs- my finger nails are really short, 13- My favorite number. 😀

[Muggle B]

Muggle is for the fact that I hunt with no GPS so I am “powerless” or if you see me out and about, I look as I am a true muggle, no wandering around with an electronic device.
B is short for Brian

on other forums ive signed up ive always gone as Bri Guy, but I liked Muggle B so went with it.

Picking a caching name is like naming a baby–you’re stuck with the handle forever.

[billrwilson]

billrwilson- my name (im not very creative) & ladybug- my wife thought it was cute

[beezers958]

A friend of my wife and I gave me this nickname (beezers) based on Brian, in college. Don’t ask me how she thought of it… The end is a code for my birth date.

Most people try to make it breezers, I’m not an air-head. 😛
