What does your username mean?

[mellohawk]

I'm a pretty laid back dude, so my drummer from a previous band used to call me mellow hawk. I just dropped the 'w' to make it shorter.

 

[funkyjudge]

A former boss of mine and one of our Corporate VPs (my main job is in media and publishing) gave me the nickname "Judge" or "The Judge". Once my former boss saw me dance -- the first time was in a club on Bourbon Street in the French Quarter of "Nawlins" -- he started calling me "The Funky Judge" (or just "funkyjudge" for short).

[loinmute]

This is my username for everything internet. A few years back I was joing Ultimate Guitar and noticed some boring names and some fairly unique ones. Loinmute popped into my head. I get asked quite often about the meaning and I really have no explanation other than, it';s just me.

 

[Von Felgenhauer]

From the family of Felgenhauers. Felgenhauer means wheel worker in old german. Families got their names from their occupation.

 

[Catbuster]

Mine represent my experience with Caterpillar brand heavy equipment, and the fact cats do not enjoy my back yard... I love my BB gun, hehe.

 

[80'sRocker]

I played extensively in 80's rock/hair metal bands back in the day (100's of shows, multi-state tours, spec deal w/ Atlantic etc.) and I still love anything 80's rock/metal - hence the name!

 

[pengyou40]

pengyou40 --> "pengyou" means friend in Mandarin Chinese. I studied Mandarin in college. I'm now "40" years old.

 

[echoSE7EN]

Han Solo's callsign on Hoth. Yes, I am a dork. But I've been using it on every forum, gaming platform, email, etc, etc, for so long that it's just consistent now.

 

[Dark Horse]

non light colored equine

 

[Bloodhammer]

Mine has two meanings:

I was reading some Icelandic Sagas (well, english translations) a couple of years ago and noticed that the really notorious guys always had nicknames like "Bloodaxe" and "Skullsplitter" and stuff like that, so I decided to "viking-ize" my name since my friends say I look like one.
Shawn Beckham became Shawn Bloodhammer Stephenson (Yes, my dad was Stephen)

The second meaning is dirty and inappropriate to explain here. Use your imagination......... or don't actually.

 

[PhiDeck]

Philip Decker => PhiDeck

(Some may remember a heavy-duty cassette tape transport of the same name, possibly hyphenated Phi-Deck, from the 1970s. No connection.)

 

[Bassman7PM]

Bassman = Obvious
7 = I love playing 7 string basses even though I just traded by Conklin GT7 for a Yamaha TRB 1006 and couldn't be happier
PM = Project Manager by profession

[bassinplace]

Drummer of 16 yrs. Had to stop due to an injury. Stopped playing any kind of music for what I thought was gonna be a couple months, turned out to be 5 years. I started to really miss it, and couldn't go back to the drums so I picked up the bass. I have to say I love it just as much as drumming! Drumming used to put me underneath the music, whereas the bass puts me in the center of it, which is a really cool and awesome responsibility.

Plus as a drummer, I know what it feels like when the bass player won't or can't lock in with you. So it's really cool to be on the other side of it and know I'm giving solid support to whatever feel the drummer's going for. I'm also learning what it feels like to be the connection between the guitar and drummer. I'm really diggin' it! Good times! Now just a few more years of building bass chops and I'm movin' on to the keys!

 

[gttim]

This has been my moniker on the net since I first got on. I used to ride and race all GT bikes, and my first name is Tim. I did not have a GT for years, and started to get away from it, but on many blogs I am known for being an a$$hole, and hate to lose that image! I often get asked if I went to Georgia Tech, since I am in Atlanta, but I did not. And I do drive a Mustang, but not a GT.

While my main road bikes are not GTs, I did purchase a GT mountain bike in the last year.
