I have had many usernames over the years because I have often been banned on various forums then come back to torment the haters.

Green Blow Fly is an ancronym.

My name comes from Hamlet. When we read it in class, I read the part of Polonius, and I ended up making it part of nearly all my online handles. He's a hero of mine: crafty, blustery, cunning, and willing to play the fool.

Mine's ummm... my name.

Mine is my first email account (still spamless) an old Scandinavian name, I'm quite attached to it and in the years it has grown on me as a true second name to which I listen as if it was my birth name.
I've never quite found out what it means...

Beork

Screaming Icelander

Actually it is the name of a rune from the Elder Futhark. Futhark runes are an ancient Nordic(Scandanavian) alphabet, used for writing, divination, and magik. Its one of the oldest examples of writen language originating from scandanavia and europe.

Beork, is a fertility rune that represents birth with birth possibly being the actual child birth, formation of new ideas, or new projects.

It is interpreted as a time of new beginnings and fresh adventures

My number when I played American Football.

My first army was Black Legion back in the rogue trader days. Since then I've built and collected at least 1500pts of every major chaos legion (at least up to the last codex, haven't refactored them for the newer book). Some of them twice . After watching me tote out chaos army after chaos army once a week for over two months without repeats the name just sort of stuck.

@focused fire,
that depends greatly what futhark from what country and what era you take, translations are also different per interpreter. In some futharks, Beork does not even appear, the letter does, but not this name.
The name was and still is used from time to time, and don't worry, being Dutch (close proximity to scandinavia) I know pretty much about nordic stuff (I'm also a viking reenacter)
I have heard about the singer beork as well, but haven't heard a song yet.
thanks anyway

Beork

@Beork,
I work in reenactment faire and festivals also. I just went with the most commonly accepted definition and translation in order to keep it short. Was attempting to be helpful. Also let me know if you ever need a mead horn.

I am a ghetto fightah homes!!!!

Isn't it obvious?

I never liked the Ultramarines so i always called them Ultrafools. So I decided to call myself that.

Mine was the name of the commander of my regular army (3rd ed. Salamanders) at the time I signed up for old Dakka. Was going to change it to something more Tau when I signed up for New Dakka, but decided that the 2,000 posts I had on Old Dakka constituted a history to go with the id.

Mine comes from my Guard army I was assembling for the Armageddon Campaign when I remembered the guys handing out Dakka Buttons at Gamesday 2000(I got "Vengeance is Mandatory") and decided to check it out.

They're the Platuan 4th Mechanized Infantry and they're still one of my favorite armies(after my DA, of course) despite how hard it will be to finish the First Platoon in Dress Uniform(need 20 more Praetorians and 2 more Praetorian Lascannons).

Mine's.... my name XD

My DA account name is Lord-Straylost... He's the main antagonist in the novel I was trying to write... lol

I choose mine cause in real life my vision is terrible. But thanks to video games, I can pretend to not suck at aiming!

Mine is the first thing i said when i took my first causualty in my first ever warhammer 40k game.

My tyranids were storming towards my friends IG.(My first battle ever).The next turn my friend said my hive tyrant has no wounds left and his sniper killed him. I said what sniper. He said that sniper in the ruin while pointing at it. I replyed Theres no sniper in that building. I looked closely and there it was. All that then came out of my mouth was : Nice camo

This is a bit convoluted....
Back in the day I used go by the handle Ghost, it was what the guys on my Drill Team called me due to my rather white skin. After College I found many others used the same handle so I started using Sparkey, a nickname I received for being a overly enthusiastic new employee at my first job. But again, others had the same name. So decided upon Sparkey'sGhost, but the first board I tried allowed only 8 character names, so I shortened it to SparkeyG. Something I found thus far to be unique.

Mines a shortened version of my second name Hesselmann -> Hessy. People at school called me hessy or hess, and I was small at the time so I was "wee". Its now ironic though as I'm 6ft 3 so not really wee anymore!

I came up with mine around the time I started playing the first Knights of the Old Republic. Its my name spelled in a Star Warsy way with DJ in front to denote 'Dark Jedi'.

djphranq = dark jedi phranq

Another handle I use in some other places is gunslingercid. I came up with it around the time that Final Fantasy 7 first came out and a the same time I was reading Stephen King's Dark Tower series.

Well I guess mine is a bit of a long story. My name was given to me in the army. Since I have a larger than average nose, & didn't shave when I didn't work weekends, it gave me a I guess a "rodent" quality. Shrew was basically the name that stuck & even proceeded me even when I transfered from unit to unit. I even was given a name & rank ID plate for my flightsuit w/the nickname "Shrew" on it by a former comander for my flightsuit.

I randomly made a name off the top of my had in Runescape loooong time ago(yeah i know kinda strange I was pretty bored) and it stuck. Yes very strange name I got here.

Overboss Ghurzub Moga...

Well, Overboss is the rank of Warboss in my Ork Army.

Ghurzub Moga is the brother of my D&D character [Barbarian]. He's a half-orc and is very loud and obnoxious. I plan on adding a Wierdboy to my army, to represent Ghurzub's brother, Ulob [a half-orc sorcerer].

I use either of the Moga brothers in various forums.

Me screenname came about the annoying way I would identify people I couldn't remember the name of when I was still in grade school. Mom would get home after I had been home for a few hours and ask if anyone called and I'd say "yeah, the man dude person guy fella from the automotive shop called" or "that girly chick woman person from the nail salon called to confirm your appointment". I was struggling to come up with a screenname for something a LOOOONG time ago and decided that now I can be that man dude person guy fella. Unfortunately, character limits often made me limit to mrmandudeperson or themandude or some variant.

Mines a shortened version of my name. Full name is Oliver Holmes.

Combo move in Lord of the Rings video game.

Name of my Fraternity, and the year I graduated from college. I got into the hobby the summer before my senior year, and discovered online 40K forums shortly thereafter.

Poptarticus is a version of my wife's pet name for me...poptart.

Poptart evolved into my alter ego, Poptarticus Jonez. He usually appears after much caffiene and sugar.

Sometimes Poptarticus is taken, like on hotmail and blogspot. I must find the imposters and destroy them. There can be only one!!!

Mine is a tasty fruit.
