Re: unique usernames
Many years ago we were all coming up with porn names, but not the lame ones that involve your street name, first pet's name, etc. We wanted ones that were actually porn-worthy. The 3 names we came up with were Chest Rockfield, Brock Longfellow, and Abraham Goodbody. I was originally Brock, but somehow ended up using Chest.

Did you mean expensive $ or expensive CC? I hope CC, cause he's dirt cheap.JohanX wrote:I've been using Johan as my nickname online for ~15 years now.
Comes from the Magic card, http://gatherer.wizards.com/pages/card/ ... rseid=2872
I liked the name and the artwork, I don't think I ever put the card in a deck, way too expensive.
I was pretty surprised to find it already taken on a forum with only 400 accounts so I tossed the X at the end.

Re: unique usernames
I was nine years old when I read The Lords of the Ring. IMO Saruman is the most interesting personality. ever since I've been fan of fantacy. Im old school rpg player and typically a spell caster (necromancer or summoner). So i have use Sarumar as my name decades

Re: unique usernames
I have been wondering whether Saruman was the origin of your name. In fact, I have to consciously correct myself everytime I see your name because I read it as Saruman! I did not meet up with the Lord of the Rings until I was 21, but have reread it many times in the 49 years since that late start. Back then, you had to order the books from England if you wanted to own them, but the paperbacks came out in the US shortly after I bought the UK hardcovers. I am also a reader of fantasy, as well as science fiction and mysteries.

I can re-read a book every few years and enjoy the story again - every time found a new meaning.

Re: unique usernames
Great post idea! 
My nickname on Andor's Trail is my given name, obviously.
Whenever I need to come up with a nickname while playing some online games, I usually go by something like
as nickname. It's a programmer joke on SQL insecurities with references to xkcd.
