What Do Your Usernames Mean?

[36feet10inches]

Cos I've got this in my back garden

Horse chestnut or "conker" tree, they're just starting to drop now. It was a novelty the first year we lived here, now it's a pain in the ass.

 

[Auravir]

I gave myself the nickname Auravir in highschool, thinking it meant "airman". Only later did I learn that "aura" means heaven, or breeze. I guess the name stuck.

 

[Pong]

Pong was the first video game ever made back in the early 1970s, and the forerunner of all video games. Kind of stupid but that was the first thing that I thought for a username when I registered.

 

[vikingBerserker]

God I would play that game for hours. I don't think I could last a few minutes now


I made this nic up for "Talk City" back in 98 - it was the first combination with "Viking" that was not taken that I could find.

[Ferdinand Foch]

I took my name off of Marshal Ferdinand Foch, a French general and eventually Allied Generalissimo of the First World War (I really admire and respect him, hence why I choose it).

[FredJD414]

Mine is a tribute to my Uncle, Fred Sanderson, who died in Halifax JD414 (78 Squadron) over Nuremburg, on the 28th August 1943. Joined the site to find out more information about the mission and the what happened to him. Also my father, now well into his eighties and his younger brother, flew in Lancasters during the war, has always wanted to know more about that fatefull night for his brother. Appreciate it if anyone has any information.
