My handle is Princess with out the I. In the days of AOL your login could not be more than 10 characters long. Every combination with Princess spelled correctly was gone so I took out the I and added my month and year of birth. I am the princesss ... well just because I am the princesss. If you ask my dad he would say it was because I was a royal pain in the a**. Seriously though, my parents have always called me the princess. I think I got the better nick name. My sis is nicknamed "Budha."

Was trying to select an e-mail address on a sleepy night. Exasperated after all versions of my name were unavailable, I used my initials, with the first three primary numbers in between. Not until I finished did I realized that 11 should be the third number, not 9...

Nothing original here.... Initial Initial LastName....used my e-mail address. I have too many log-ins and screen names to be creative enough to remember another one!

Ok, back on topic, my name comes from my favorite fictional book, Ender's Game, by Orson Scott Card. The '83' was the random number hotmail assigned me back in 1998 because 'Ender' was already taken.

Very interesting!
I've been nicknamed Buster for years now (after escaping w/o a nickname for most of my life). I was snowboarding in Utah and had fallen down. I was just sitting in the snow when a man skied up to me, said "Hey Buster, how's it going?" I didn't answer, and he looked at me again, said "Oh, you're not Gordon," and skied away. I thought it was actually pretty funny, given that I'm a woman, not this man's teenaged son! I made the mistake of telling Senor Hamachi, and I've been Buster ever since.

I just use a short version of my name, Bruce D. Schobel. I can't remember anything more complicated.

At the time of my FT registration, I was purely UA flyer and I routinely use "Eagle" in my handles because I just love to be up in the air, soaring over landscape and sea.... Now, if I could change the handle, I'd probably be less specific about the airline--probably something like TX_Eagle or something like that.
