Cochin007 · « **Reply #25 on:** January 21, 2005, 07:42:08 AM »

MLine has a bit of a funny origin.
At the time I joined ZA - excaclty 6 months and 3 days ago now - I just had got two little black bantam chickens - Chinese black Cochin bantams. I knew it were very beautiful bantams - but they were even more beautifull then I could imagine before I had them.
That same day or the day after I rediscovered ZA by accident. I decided to joine - a decicion channging my life somehow,I know now.
So Cochin was it of logic to take. I added 007 to make it bit cooler - that's how Cochin007 became my nick.

Cheeky Tutti · « **Reply #26 on:** January 21, 2005, 07:59:53 AM »

As you all may know, I've got an adopted chimp called Tutti, so I thought that just Tutti was boring. I thought about cheeky monkey and cheeky chimp, but I thought that was too original. So I thought of Cheeky Tutti and here I am.

I got mine from the title of a book from my favorite author

Mine is the scientific name of my favorite animal.

asthmatic_hyena · « **Reply #29 on:** January 21, 2005, 01:06:04 PM »

My favorite animal is the hyena, and I am asthmatic. The two seemed to go together well.

Xtreme · « **Reply #30 on:** January 21, 2005, 01:38:15 PM »

I got mine just because I wanted something anyone could remember.

TigerTail · « **Reply #31 on:** January 21, 2005, 03:04:17 PM »

I got mine because I of course love tigers, and I like Tails of of Sonic The Hedghog,(if you know what that is) So, I got the name TigerTail

Quivaz · « **Reply #32 on:** January 21, 2005, 03:08:20 PM »

I got mine by sitting down one day and deciding I needed a cooler username...one with letters people rarely use...thus came about Quivaz...

mo15 · « **Reply #33 on:** January 21, 2005, 03:17:10 PM »

Mine is really simple. All my friends call me Mo, (nicname for Montana) and my favorite number is 15

okapi_07 · « **Reply #34 on:** January 21, 2005, 05:40:36 PM »

mine is simple too: one of my favorite animals and my graduating year, 2007 (i just tack the 07 on most user names i have)

Yellowrose · « **Reply #35 on:** January 21, 2005, 06:03:41 PM »

I decided to use Yellowrose long beofre I ever joined a forum. It has been my username since 1994 when I got my first computer and my first hotmail email account. Yellowrose has very special meaning for me. I have lost both my Parents....my mother passed away 26 years ago and her favoite flowers were yellow roses...my father passed away in 1996 and his favoite song was the Yellow Rose of Texas.....So in memory of both my parents I continue to use Yellowrose as a user name where ever I need one. In your travels around the net if you see a yellowrose from Ontario Canada it's more than likely me.

RedNotDead · « **Reply #36 on:** January 21, 2005, 10:35:32 PM »

i was called Red at work by clients due to the red hair and one day one i was just sitting there contemplating the world (with my eyes shut lol) and one of the clients siad hey Red, you're not dead are you? and the rest as they say is history.

Penguino · « **Reply #37 on:** January 22, 2005, 01:20:04 AM »

When I signed up I was thinking about an animal, and I just chose the penguin, for whatever reason. Maybe it is their cuteness, or maybe I was too hot that day. :lol:

nytowl · « **Reply #38 on:** January 22, 2005, 06:08:17 AM »

Well, mine is simple.............

I love owls and ever since I was a kid I've liked to stay up late. My mom used to tell me even back then that I was a Nightowl!!

When I got my car a few years ago I wanted to put that on the plate but it wouldn't fit, so I shortened it to "Nytowl" (the plate is now on our van since my car died), hence the name "nytowl" instead of "nightowl." On some forums (and my main email) I use nytowl_beth.

Jawz · « **Reply #39 on:** January 22, 2005, 10:54:54 AM »

mines isnt that a big story I just had to think of a short name and I kinda like sharks so jaws

Then to jazz it up Jawz

That-Parbhu-Guy · « **Reply #40 on:** January 22, 2005, 08:46:01 PM »

TigerTa · « **Reply #41 on:** January 22, 2005, 09:51:47 PM »

mines pretty simple as well...I love Tigers, and ive always want the car TransAm(TA).
and i couldnt think of anyhting else, lack of a creative mind.

Superraptor · « **Reply #42 on:** January 24, 2005, 07:19:12 AM »

Mine use to be Super Ausie Raptor, but my user kept getting deleted, then I figured it out and became Superraptor- because I like superman and raptors.

chimaera · « **Reply #43 on:** January 24, 2005, 08:18:59 PM »

if you go to the new art thread youll see some pics i drew, some of them are of an animal i made up called chimaera. its been my nickname for a while and so i decided to use it when i signed up here.

TYCOON1 · « **Reply #44 on:** January 25, 2005, 02:17:03 PM »

I chose mine b/c of Zoo Tycoon and that was my old username at ZTU before the site closed down.

penguinsrule · « **Reply #45 on:** January 26, 2005, 10:52:40 AM »

I couldn't think of a username when I joined, so I asked my then six-year-old son, the future ornithologist, for his opinion. With fist in the air, he shouted: "PENGUINS RULE"!

zoofreak · « **Reply #46 on:** January 29, 2005, 10:53:41 AM »

mine came from a brain freeze when picking a user name, so my bro helped with zoo(cause i like zoo tycoon duh) and freak(cause he likes to call me that) so that's the uninteresting story of the username zoofreak.

Friend · « **Reply #47 on:** February 11, 2005, 05:37:51 PM »

most people call me by my real name or "Filly", but only my closest friends call me Friend. "friend" is quick and easy for my best mates to pronounce in a hurry. It is also easy to remember. few who meet me will forget my name.

Tyto alba · « **Reply #48 on:** May 09, 2005, 04:40:23 PM »

Love birds, love 'em. Like to stay up late, owl! In fact people used to call me the night owl, and I thought it would be cool to have a scientific name of a bird, like eagles better than owls, but somehow Haliaeetus leucocephalus doesn't quite have the same ring to it.

Spiderghost · « **Reply #49 on:** May 09, 2005, 07:02:54 PM »

My name is a combination of my two high school nicknames. In baseball I was called "Spiderman" and in football I was called "The Ghost". When it came to picking a name that was all the creativity I could muster.

Had I taken some time I might have come up with a more creative name like Preposterous Rhinocerus or Wino Rhino.

Ummmmmm maybe I was better off keeping it simple.
