what does your user name mean?

[bobbysocks]

we have such an eclectic group here and your user names intrigue me. what made you pick that specific name? part of your real name, something in history, something silly, what?? tell us the story behind your names...i think they will all be interesting ( even if you dont think yours is...it is)!

I'll start. there were singers in the 30s and 40s that all the young girls in the states used to swoon over. part of these teenage girls "attire" were a type of socks know as bobbysocks. the singers whom these girls adamantly followed were thus dubbed as bobbysocks singers or bobbysocksers. frank sinatra, when he started out was one of these. when my father was 18 and joined the usaaf he was a skinny little fart and somewhat resembled sinatra ( although he never could see the resemblance). so someone bestowed the name Bobbysocks on him and it stuck. so when i started flying ww2 ac online i felt it appropriate to use that as a game tag.

who's next??

[dkwookie]

Nice topic bobby. Mine comes from a friends I used to work with (we were both huge Star Wars fans). I am a tall guy and used to yawn very loudly at my desk in the office. My yawn apparently sounds like Chewbacca so I soon got the nickname. We used to play Halo 1 on xbox at LAN parties and tournaments and my nickname became my user name.

[Shadowcorp]

my id comes from the racing game mashed. i insisted on using the black car "shadow" and in multiplayer games with my friends i won from the most unlikely of circumstances, they insisted the game was conspiring to let me win and dubbed me shadow corp (corp short for corporation)... i do miss mashed things were simpler then.

[The_Goalie_94]

[Gilly]

It's my name! Or certainly part of it. Kinda stuck from childhood and how I'm now known both in business and personal life. So much so even my family use it. The additional on my psn is just because I can be!!!!

[FOZ_1983]

My surname is Foster, and since i was young i have always been called "foz" for short. Its stuck ever since, its my username on here, my XBL gamertag, my nickname.

Alfred Grislawski was the wingman of Herman Graff and early rotte fuhrer to Erich Hartmann. A great pilot needs a great Kaschmarek and that he was. My PSN WalterNowotny was just a great pilot and commanded the first operational jet wing.

[haitch40]

Mine was born through idiocy.
It was the name that my step dad used on games and things on the internet.
I was 14 so psn said i couldnt make an account so not thinking the logical way round as in I could fake my birthday. My step dad made one and you of course cant change your name after that.

Go on laugh at my idiocy.
