Hi all,

First of all let me make myself clear that I have no intention of hurting any one's sentiments or invading any body's privacy. I have just a curiosity for quite some time and was wondering whether to ask this or not from the desi members of this site. Now I am gathering courage and asking this question to every one but only those who feel comfortable should post their replies. And if the moderator decide to delete this post, that's also fine with me.

The question is : What rationale goes in to your mind when you chose any 'screen name' for anonymous postings on any fourum like this one. Or how do you decide to take the particular 'screen name' that you have.

Some for example are obvious.

Biomed ...... The person is in biomedical field and he chose this one.
Garvo Gujarati ..... He is proud of being a Gujarati so he decided this one.
Jake3D .... Jacob is a 3D animation expert.
Beauty Salon .... This person may have a beauty salon.
etc. etc. etc.

But most of these intrigue me and I am looking for honest answers from those who have those screen names which make sense to only them (only if they like to reply)

Guru 420, Chor- per- more etc.etc.

Hiiiiiii

Very interesting question.

Timon is a charactor in the Lion king series of movies. Timon is short and smart and knows what he is doing. I love that charactor.

Now, you know why the name "Timon"

HAKUNA MATATA..........No worries

Arre nahin na Bihari Babu.. aap achcha try kiye hain na. Humko bahut pasand aaya. Aur bhayya jahan tak 'nosy' hone ke baat hai, hum to pahle hi kah diye tha ki hum to 'kuriosity' sa hota hai aise badhiya badhiya user name dekh kar, isiliye puchchne ki himmat kiay tha. Ummeed hai ki aap bura nahin na manenge aur baaki bhai log bhee apna kuch bhichar bhyakt karenge (share their thoughts).

Pramod,

I thought the best to do was type in your name as it is.

Be true and dont hide behind a veil.

What is the fun in having a proxy name. Isnt that a garb a wolf in sheeps clothing? Doesn't help right???
