Pink Floyd >> all. I really liked this song ... and I was 11 when I started listening. Most of the other people were older than me, so the nickname stuck.

No.

I'm not sure if they still exist, but I use to write reviews for the site using my name.

Post Re: Where does your username come from?
One of my favorite tv series of all time is the anime Street Fighter II V (I was huge into Street Fighter 2).

It has amazing episode titles. Friends and I got a lot of laughs out of several of the titles - one of the best ones is "Trap, Prison, and the Scream of Truth: Proud Ryu".

The pronunciation of Ryu (americanized) sounds like "re-YOU" with the accent on the 2nd syllable.

Joe :)

I've thought about changing my username, but the name doesn't exactly have the greatest reputation on here.

Well that defeats the purpose of posting in this thread.

Around the time I started posting on BOM (I had already been a lurker for a while before that - started following box office with Lord of the Rings), the movie John Q had come out (with Denzel Washington). I remember seeing it and really liking it, so I created my screen name after it.

Peace,
Mike

Oh, I thought you meant the John Q with Timothy Dalton. Glad you clarified! ;)

Some teammates at football started calling me this in my teens, deriving it a bit from my first name and the first letter of my last name, it mainly became just "stuff", but often that name is already taken.

Zwackerm is my grade school username I've had since kindergarten. Everyone's started with a z followed by the first letter of their first name followed by the first six letters of their last name.

When I joined I actually meant my name to be Dobby and zwackerm was a mistake.

I think it's more a Freudian slip.

Dobby is the name that appears when I write articles. There is one profile name and one username and I put zwackerm as the username. I thought it was just for logging in.
