JayBachatero Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 Well my name came from LiL_J. People started calling me Jay and the Jay part got stuck with me for a while. Then I got to a point where I was just tired of the damn LiL_J SN. That's when JayBachatero came to be. Bachatero came from a spanish music genre that I love listening to.

akitchin Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 my name is boring. 'a' is the first initial of my first name and 'kitchin' is my last. nothing special, but that's my SN most other places so it keeps things consistent.i own akitchin.com (like the others), and "akitchin" in FF takes you to my phpfreaks profile too. weird.

Zane Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 Back about 6 years ago...one of my friends started to call me Zanusas if to insult me, in a friendly way. I'd get upset about it sometimes but when they eventually kept calling me that it stuck and everyone else decided to tag that name to me.My real name is Zane....and I've had such phrases like Zane the Pain come about a thousand-teen times in my life.after Zanus...it became Zanus the painus in the anus..lolMaybe that's an interesting story...I dunnoif I'm not using zanus...I use dockeryz...which is just my last name and first initial Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/19258-the-story-behind-your-username/page/2/#findComment-105158 Share on other sites More sharing options...
