chefjudy:
:) back in the early 90's when we only had the web and AOL, I had to pick out a screenname and
the first thing I thought of was my passion for cooking and all that it inferred and/or meant, hence
chef, and judy is my real first name. I use it for everything now and anywhere I have to have a
a screen name - makes life a little easier.................. :D
and it appears that some here are lots more clever than I when it comes to names ;)

Me too! :)
Judy, always good to have you here. :)
Luvlylittlewing:
I wanted my username to reflect my Native American heritage. Littlewing is the meaning of the first two letters (OL) of my first name in Apache, I believe. I could be wrong about the tribe. 1957 is my birth year.
TOoP/Bruce:
TOoP/Bruce...
Hmmm. Bruce is my first name. "TOoP" is "True Oracle of Phoenix" -- it was a loose associate of various things I was reading _ Françoise Truffaut's book on Hitchcock ('Tru'ffaut being the "oracle" of Hitchcock, a phoenix being a symbol of resurrection, as well as the place where the story in PSYCHO begins - my original account bjblakeslee had been deleted by trolls somehow). Put together it sounded vaguely Harry Potterish, and it added another associative dimension to it. The account was frozen by IMDb in June of 2007 for reasons that were never revealed to me.
"GeorgeObliqueStrokeXR40", my current IMDb user name, was a second account I started for IMDb The Avengers board. It is part of the name of an episode called "Whoever Shot Poor George Oblique Stroke XR40?" It was a sufficiently obscure episode from the Linda Thorson series. George was a supercomputer who had barely survived an assassination attempt. (The name choice was influenced by the fact that my original account had been "assassinated" by trolls.) At some point GOSXR40 was used by me to bump threads (since The Avengers board was dying of neglect) and it game me a way to save use the TOoP identity as an archivist, and Geo became my main thread bumper.
Today, I use TOoP/Bruce on this board, and GOSXR40 on the other board. I continue to repost significant threads from the other board on the other board, with links to where they are archived here. People still come to IMDb wanting to discuss the impact of the film with others, and often these days, it can be awhile before they can connect with someone who can hear them out. I try to connect people who are interested in further discussion to the main boards here. I am always gratified when I see that a person I've been in contact with at IMDb has made it here.
BlissC:
Well I use various names at different places on the web, depending on whether I want to be recognised, or whether I'm going incognito. Most of the web forums I'm on are web design ones and I tend to be well known there with the name I use, but if I have a really stupid question I can't figure out the answer to I sometimes go to somewhere else where I'm not so well known or a regular poster where I use a different name.
Most places I'm "Fallen Angel" or some variation of that, which I picked because it's the title of my as yet unfinished novel. The other one I use a lot these days is Bliss - BlissC is short for Bliss Carrington, which is the pen name I use when I'm writing. Bliss, because my favourite band of all time is Faithless, so the "Bliss" bit's after Sister Bliss, one of the members of Faithless, and Carrington because it was my grandma's maiden name. She liked it that I wanted to use it for my pen name. :)
