What does your username mean?

[nordwulf]

Please share what it means and why you choose it.

Not sure if we already had a thread about this so post a link if you find one. If anyone wants to change their user name, please post in this thread: http://saabworld.net/f26/username-changes-1521/

[Hirsch]

In 2007, when I first chose the user name Hirsch it was because I have a Hirsch Performance ECU tune. It was installed by the dealer in Copenhagen that delivered my 9-3. At the time Hirsch products were not available in the US, so I had something unique.

If you met me in person and called me Hirsch, I'd probably answer to it!

[Shazam]

I don't remember. I like the ring of it though. Nearly every forum I'm a member of, the name is open, if not, I go with ShazamV4.

[nordwulf]

I originally choose the name Wulf because I didn't want to use anything Saab specific. SC was the first forum I was active on and I wanted something I could use on other non-Saab forums as well. I couldn't come up with anything snappy really so I just took the first part of my last name. My last name originated in Germany and Wulf is related to wolf which are quite interesting animals. So Wulf it was.

When I was on vacation in Germany, I heard my name Wulf on the radio quite frequently. If I kept up with German politics, I would have known they were actually talking about the current German president Christian Wulff. Still kind of strange to hear your username on the radio and TV (pronounced 'woolf').

Perhaps I just should go back to using Wulf as my user name. That's what everybody is calling me anyway. Note to new members: choose your user name carefully because it will stick with you for the rest of your forum life.

[SPGreg]

When I got back into Saabs after a 20 year hiatus, I bought an SPG. Then I got another one. My name is Greg. I guess the rest is obvious.

Had I not chosen an SPG-related name, I likely would have chosen something related to my all-time favorite movie, The Jerk, starring Steve Martin. NavinJohnson900, or something.

[J-Rod]

My name is Jared. Friends thought it was spelled Jarod, and started calling me J-Rod. It stuck. I'm still J-Rod to most of them.

Ha! Kills me every time.

[Aero]

Aero. I very much like how the word sounds in Spanish and my present car is, by far, the best one I have ever owned, so the choice was obvious, wasn´t it?.

[Mark_Venture]

Mark Venture is from the Japanese animated series Star Blazers that was on TV every day when I came home from grade school.

When I first started joining on-line forums about cell phones and cell phone hacking, I decided to use Mark_Venture rather than my real name... And its stuck with me everywhere I go.

Besides, in real life, people often mistakenly call me Mark instead of my real name, Mike.
