How did you come up with your username?

vinaydas · 4th February 2009, 23:36

simply cause my first name is Das and last is vinay so vinay+das=vinaydas (no im not bengali)

bigdman · 5th February 2009, 10:49

i got my name from a nick name bigD (for derrick) and i'm a man so thus bigDman

alpha1 · 5th February 2009, 12:07

Alpha1 calling Bravo ...

Propensity to do lot of miles.

450 Miles in 8 Hours
500 Miles in a day
1600 Kms in 3 days
Leisurely 2300 Kms in 10 days. (Holiday break)

Hence the nick, thought it to be most appropriate

AyAn! · 7th February 2009, 23:29

Its my name...my real name...

m4ugr8 · 8th February 2009, 00:39

Its a nick i have been using ever since i started using Internet, Hotmail,yahoo everywhere i have the same nick. Came across this site when was searching information about my first car. Did not know that it would end up becoming my identity in this Family spread all across India.

But its become famous now, So i dont mind it, Even my car's Wind shield carries a sticker with this nick

Latheesh · 13th February 2009, 08:19

Yeah...it's my real name

motor_breathing · 13th February 2009, 09:41

This was the name I used in one of BBC Five live site for
formula one discussion. The user I wanted was PetrolHead but since it was not available settled with MotorBreating.

The question here is how did you come up with that nick.

Ardy · 13th February 2009, 10:39

My username is the name by which my friends call me and its kind of shortened version of my actual name "Ardhendu".

downsouth · 13th February 2009, 10:44

I might offend a few folks here, I am maried to a punjabi, from POK kashmir migrated to mumbai after the partition. So when ever I used to visit her folks/relatives they used to pull my leg asking me if I was a Madrasi, I used to get pissed off but would smile it away explaining I was from Bangalore. So I coined the word downsouth, it suggests from the south of India.

Er... the last note is redundant, because if you were a Bengali,
your first name would be Vinay, and last name Das !

my dad had a friend called ganapathy.. they used to call him guns... so i was guns from the time i was born... and i used to be a big maiden fan (i'm seeing them this sunday) thus the 666
