How Did You Come Up With Your User Name?

[John Henry]

We have a variety of catchy names on the board and I am always interested in how folks came up with them. Personally, I picked Sawnee Cat by chance I guess. When I signed up, I lived in North Georgia and the highest mountain in the county was named after a Cherokee Indian chief, Chief Sawnee (Sawnee Mountain) So I became Sawnee Cat.

 

[funKYcat75]

To match the tattoo that I got back in '83.

 

[WildcatFan1982]

Shouldn’t be too hard to figure mine out

[BlueBallz_rivals30790]

Mine is pretty self explanatory, Blue for Kentucky, Ballz for both football and basketball.

 

[Elbridge]

My uncle’s nickname for me since I was a kid.

 

[funKYcat75]

All seriousness, I was thinking of using honKYcat (from the Elton John song, #nohomo) but decided against it. Seemed like a reasonable alternative.

 

[Crushgroove]

I fell off a gd ladder and landed on a concrete bird bath and broke my ribs in early October... nobody was surprised.

Man that has to hurt. I know an old lady that fell in her kitchen and broke her ribs. Never was quite the same

 

[_ukcat]

Mine pretty easy to figure out. I had it without the underscore but when site was taken over years ago and we had to rejoin or something I never could get back the one without underscore that I had had for years on old site.

 

[VT/UK Rondo]

Been posting since catspause was just a chat room. Been on this name for awhile now without a single rival site ban. Lived in Virginia and Kentucky so seemed right.

 

[BigBlueDave_rivals76951]

I signed up right after the Calipari hire to follow all of the recruiting that spring/summer.

My then 5 and 7 year olds came up with it. I have always regretted that decision. I knew it was pretty unoriginal.

My 2nd choice was BigBlueDavid.

Every breath you take, every move you make. That first 2 weeks is maddening.

 

[Dig Dirkler]

Actually it seems wrong because your name suggests you’ve lived in Vermont and the United Kingdom.

 

[LineSkiCat14]

I've only rode Line skis for about 10 years now. 14 is for MKG, probably my favorite player in the Cal era. Works hard, doesn't like the spotlight, does the little things.

 

[JohnnyCope]

first name johnny. last name cope.

you can deal with it or I can just take your girl.

my way is faster

 

[UKGrad93]

I used UKGrad93, because SupposedtobeUKGrad92 was too long.

 

[kevcat]

Mine isn’t really very clever.

Kev is short for Kevin. I tried to use 66 because it was the year I was born, but it was apparently taken, so I just used 69 instead.

You will probably get banned now

 

[warrior-cat]

Served in the Gulf War and trained for years to be one so....

 

[Col. Angus]

I’m a colonel in the Confederate army and my last name is Angus

 

[OldEvilleCat]

Im Old (not really, just older than most & been a Ky fan since the late 70's)
Live in Evansville (or Eville)
Cat...you can figure that part out.

Not very original. I think smooth as butter has referred to me as OrvilleCat...so there's that.

 

[honKYcat75]

I was thinking of using honKYcat (from the Elton John song, #nohomo) but decided against it.

Good decision.

 

[honKYcat75]

Mine isn’t really very clever.

It fits...because neither are you.

 

[Tskware]

My initials and because T2 was not allowed and T-square was already taken

 

[The Ghost Of Adolph Rupp]

It shouldn't be too hard to figure out.

 

[Kaizer Sosay]

I watched The Usual Suspects the night before I signed up on teh CatPaw. And I failed Spelling in grammar school.

 

[420grover]

I like smoking weed, had the nickname Grover for about 30 years.

 

[_Rooster]

Read my profile information behind the Avatar ink.

 

[Z-A-R-D-O-Z]

Funny you ask. Before Marco Ramius became a bad-*** boat driver for the Commies, he led an all-male revue and basically stripped for a living. He got hammered one night after a show in Marrakesh that I happened to be attending with this model I was dating at the time.

Well Ramius starts rambling to her about how cool he was, that he was a "wizard" in the sack, and that she should leave with him instead of me. We didn't want any trouble and quietly tried to make our way out. I was trying to keep my temper in check because he was obviously drunk and he kept getting louder and more obnoxious.

My girlfriend turned around at the door, and told Ramius that I was a wizard in bed too. He laughed and drunkenly bellowed out in Scottish accent, "Aye lassie I beet 'is a weezard, Weezard ov Oz meeby." That was the final straw. I beat the **** out of him and left him mumbling "zard oz zard oz" through what few teeth he had left.

 

[CatOfDaVille]

Mine was a moment of weakness when I signed up out of frustration that the first few usernames I tried were already taken. I obviously live in Louisville. Wish I could change it, but I'm too far gone now after 10+ years.

 

[BlueRaider22]

Was a Middle Tennessee Blue Raider long before I was a Kentucky Wildcat. #22 was my number in football and basketball.

 

[Rebelfreedomeagle]

of course...

 

[CC_332_rivals113783]

My initials. Favorite number is 33, but wasn't available for some reason. So tacked on 2 to the end.

 

[BBUK_anon]

A few years before I joined this site we had just come back from vacation. (I think we were at Dauphin Islands, AL)(We lived in Kentucky at that time in Radcliff near Fort Knox.).

I was larger then and it was sunny and hot for the week or so we were on vacation and I didn't use sun block. My three children started calling me Big Red. (They still laugh and tease me about that. I was burnt to a crisp.)

Anyway, No way I was going to pick the user name Big Red UK...so....BigBlueUK was created....

 

[kyboy1998_rivals34276]

I’m from Ky. I’m male and 1998 was the most recent title at the time.

So basically I’m really creative and thought way outside the box.

 

[-Mav-]

Some jackass had already taken "Maverick."

 

[ScrewDuke1]

Cause f**k Duke.

 

[ScrewDuke1]

Shouldn’t be too hard to figure mine out

You're a Wildcat fan that's 1982 years old?

 

[BankerCat12]

I am in banking and obviously UK fan. I always wore #12 in basketball games.

With that being said, I have been on the boards since 1995/96. My name had always been Villecat until some jerk on here took it with all the changes since then. Thanks buddy.
