What's your user name mean?

[sour_grapes]

blumentopferde is german and means "flowerpot earth".
"blumentopf" means flower pot, "erde" means earth, "pferde" means horses. So mispronounced my name means blumento-horses. It's from a joke i know from kindergarten

I have been reading this as "flower-horse" for a long time. I never bothered to think about what that extra "-to-" was doing in the middle there. I just figured it was some German thing I didn't understand!

About 7 years, faced with creating a username, something that I could remember easily, I settled on my name plus house number. Use the KISS principle.

I have more than one user name as well. I have one for each hobby. it's the only way to keep my email organized. I have a corresponding email address for each user name also.

 

[maurtis]

Maurtis was my WoW user name years ago. When faced with creating a user to play the game, I was re-reading On A Pale Horse at the time and Death's steed was named Mortis. So I just used a variation of that. A decade later and I am still using the name, but have long since kicked the Warcrack addiction.

[Runningwolf]

Folks, I just stumbled upon this thread and could not believe what one member thought was exceptable to post on a public forum. Not just posting and later thinking whoops but pushing it to the limits. I really don't like doing this and like to give people a long leash but this member has been voted off the island.
