[Phast SVX]

[DavieGravy]

I had a friend that called me Flavid Gravid, so I thought DavieGravy would be a nice name. I've hung around some stange and perhaps psychotic people in my day. This same friend often made his own freeway off-ramps out of steep grassy inclines. On occasion, he also took his Explorer mudding in the wet dirt of construction sites. Yes... even when workers were present.

[ensteele]

ensteele93 - E and N are my first two initials, and steele is my last name. My first SVX was a 93, so I put them all together. I too did this after I realized that Aredubjay had already been taken.

[Andy]

A total lack of intelligence and imagination


Andy

[Landshark]

my second choice was "Hosehead" - the flying, beer-drinking dog from the Strange Brew movie

[huck369]

My last name is Huckelby(which is reason enough to have a nick-name), and my best friend back in high school had the same first name as me, so I became "Huck" and it has stuck with me since, I'll hardly answer to my first name anymore and the "369" are the numbers that I ran on my bike when I was racing Moto-cross (just local nothing to extreme) the numbers acually came from a Sammy Hargar song, and also appeared on a Van Halen song after Sammy joined in.

[CigarJohnny]

My first name is John and I've been a lover of fine cigars (even not so fine and not even remotely fine) for years. When I first went online I had the screen name of cgarjohnny (back when AOL only did 11 letters). Since then I've always been known as Cigar Johnny. If you see "Cigar Johnny" somewhere, the odds are pretty good that it's me.

It's not as original as "Aredubjay" (wtf does that mean anyway, Randy???) but it works

[CigarJohnny]

Woohoo!! look at that! I graduated to "Member" from "Junior Member" LOL

[SHISVX]

well, my name is Kelli with an "i" and i am shy so shy with a "i" is shi...and i got an svx ...um....there it is?

Kelli

If it works for you, and you have some attachment to it, stay with it. If you feel it's time for a change, move on. Don't let the past dictate who you are, but let it be a part of who you become.

I stole that from a movie, but it works.

[mattski]

My name is Matt and I have a very long last name which ends with "ski", and I do loooove to ski.

I always enjoy making people go "what the hell is THAT?" My choice in automobiles, instruments, and music is centered around stopping people in their tracks and challenging their existing views. I needed to start an "internet identity" when I came to college and suddenly had quick internet at my disposal.

Alacrity is a word which few can define and fewer can pronounce. It means "Great willingness, eagerness" which fit my personality to a T my freshman year... not so much anymore. "024" harkens back to my irrisponsible teenage years.. Some here will understand what it means when reversed, others will simply shrug.

[wasions]

My parents were not that creative. (I was named after the doctor who delivered me. )

When my wife got her new car, she said, "All the people in the SVX club have names for their car. I want a name for mine." I replied, "Yeah, sure, okay, go find one. Now don't bother me for awhile. I'm checking for new posts (for like the 80th time today)."

She said, "How about something from "Lord Of The Rings?" She'd just gotten through reading the series and, of course, was deeply and permanently in love with it. "How about 'Ringwraith'?" "Or 'Wraith'?" I'm thinking - no - I'm not gonna tell you what I'm thinking. Anyway, I said, "Remember Gandalf's horse? How about 'Shadowfax'?" It was a red letter day. Probably the only idea I've ever had that she didn't have to think about before agreeing to.

That being settled, she said, "Now you." "Now you what?", says I. "The SVX needs a name now." "What?!? MY SVX? No, I don't think so." "Well, it's green. How about Kermit?" I have to explain something at this point. My wife is really hot. And I'm a total wimp around her. "Sounds terrific", I said.

Bet you're really glad you read this far.

[wasions]

I just realized! My handle's not Kermit either!

Last name - Wasion

First name - Steve

You're probably wishing I would have realized that about twenty minutes ago!
