Who's behind your user name

[Simran]

~Simran~
Seva Simran Singh is a name given to me a number of years ago by a Kundalini Yoga Master

Simran= meditative in God; Remembrance. It is a feminine name. So I guess it is supposed to remind me of my feminine side.

My rank at discharge

Went backwards twice in my early years or may have been higher.Youthful indiscretions. Ha.

 

[Mobilesport]

I usually call myself Mobileempire  because I bought some land and I was going to build a house and live in the van until the house was done  ,I had disagreements with the city , when they told me what I can and cannot do with my land I realised just because I bought the land and its in my name doesn't mean I own it .
So I continued to build my van and it became my Mobileempire .
I was signing up for a forum one time and I wanted something different from my email address so I threw sport at the end instead o Empire.
Thats where Mobilesport came from

 

[Madpeep]

There's this guy named Dave. Dave has two sisters. One of them decided to name Dave's group of friends "the Madpeeps". We were together almost every day in the early to mid 90's. Dave was the only one old enough to have a car, so the group kind of revolved around him. Over the years people grew up and went on to do other things. I was the last remaining Madpeep from the original group, so whenever Dave and his sisters talked about his friends, instead of there being a bunch of Madpeeps, it was just me. So I'm Madpeep.

 

[speedhighway46]

This is a GREAT thread! I've so enjoyed it . . .

Mine: speedhighway46

Speed is my middle name; handed down from my grandfather and father. It was my great grandmother's maiden name- Anna Speed. Most people think it's a nick name, but it's not. I have three daughters, so the name dies with me. I've been called every "speed" variation there is: Speedy Gonzoles, Speedy Alkaseler, Speedway; and every comment like "I bet you're fast" or "are you a race car driver?"

Highway: I'm happiest when driving my Peterbilt Motorhome down the open highway.

46: my birth year.

Not very creative, I'll admit!

 

[jimindenver]

Y'all think you can be unimaginative. JiminDenver = Jim in Denver.

In the 90's I used denverwingsfan so you may still see it from time to time. I am a fan of the Detroit red wings and live where their biggest rival plays. I had a lot of fun decorating the car or flying wings flags above the house.

 

[RossCoe]

My pet population used to be 3 Bichons. Mama, and 2 pups of her only litter we ever bred. We lost 1 to cancer (that sucked and was very sad. ) He was only 9 and the only male we had and our family felt like it had a huge hole in it. So we adopted Roscoe- a rescue poodle and the best personality in the whole wide world. We lost mama to old age 2 years ago- she was 16 1/2, and the other pup we kept from that litter we lost 2 months ago to old age. She was 15 1/2 and passed in her crate from heart disease. It was a relief to not have to go to the vet and put her down. I'm sure most of you have known that feeling at one time or another- utter despair.

So Roscoe is our only fur baby left-( I have 2 grown 2 legged kids too )- and we are waiting to see if he is happy to be an only child or if we will have to find him a playmate. So there is RossCoe! I am also a lady

I hope you guys have enjoyed my name's background, and you must have figured out our pets are part of our family and love them as much as our 2 kids! Not crazy, just love our dogs. I have never owned a cat but do like some of them very much. Our friend has a siamese I would take in a heartbeat! Amazing personality there.

Happy 4th of July to all and hope you enjoy your weekend

 

[msbarth]

I am msbarth because I own two Barth motorhomes and a Barth travel trailer.

 

[Every Road Leads Home]

Mine is because I registered a website under the same name that I plan to blog/document my travels on once I get out there. Figure anywhere you stop and camp for the night is home, and thus you have Every Road Leads Home.

 

[Lookin4rock]

Mine's simple... My daughter says that it's what I'm doing most often ;-)

Thats where Mobilesport came from

Oh and I should of added because my van looks kinda sporty and Chevy Supersport probably influenced that idea too

 

[johnny b]

Another simple one here....first name, first letter last name.
What's surprising is that the name was actually available.....I usually have to add letters/numbers to it.

Not on the road yet, but getting closer.
Sold my current race trailer and will have to finish out this season working out of my van only....a good first step in downsizing, going from 8.5' x 18' with a ramp rear door, to a standard length E250.
Will be getting a smaller, aluminum trailer soon, to be my new toy hauler/camper for travels in the western half of the country.

[Dennis]

I have a pretty varied life, work, and hobby history to draw from but I didn't use a lot of imagination either. Just used my middle name, which I prefer more than my first. Am surprised it was available though.
