Default How did your user name come about?

Something that I have been wondering lately when I see some of the user names on here is how they came about, does it have a significant meaning to you or is it just something you plucked out of the air or maybe a family member or friend helped you come up with it.

As you can see mine is Angelb which is three quarters of my first name and the first letter of my surname...Bethell.

Share with us the story behind your user name.

It was my IRC handle. I didn't want use an english word. So I went with Athás its irish for joy or happiness, I don't remember if I meant that in a sarcastic way.

Unfortunatly this forum already has on....

I'm not really Swiss, but I use that because I'm built like an alp, and as rich as a toblerone...

My real name is Michelle. Windrider came from because I ride Harleys, hence "riding the wind" and 86 came from the year I got my first Harley. Not my first bike but my first Harley
