Favorite CH user names

I know there's a long thread on how hounds picked their "e-lias", but if there is a comprehensive list of user names, I haven't been able to find it through searching the site.
Skimming an old thread today, I noticed a great handle: "Alimentary My Dear Watson".

What are your favorite CH names?

    Welcome to CH and my favorite screen name list, Darth Tater!

      Just saw this:

      al b. darned

      1. cayjohan May 31, 2011 01:18 PM

        I've long been fascinated with the handle choice of "coneywitheverything," thinking, "Wow, that person really likes rabbit!"

        Yep, it only recently hit me. Duh. But I still think of rabbit when I see it.

          Today, I just saw cornFusion, and I thought, "Well, *somebody* likes GM products." And then I realized that I might be cornfused. :)

              Haha! But by GM, I meant genetically modified foods. But the minute I typed it, I (hailing from the Detroit area) wondered if someone would think I was talking about the 'other' GM. I should have typed GMO, if I really felt too lazy to spell it out.

                    the screen name "servorg" always made me think of something from star trek, like the borg, but a "serving" borg. "greetings, i am servorg, here to assist you -- in assimilating." ;-)). just jokin' dude!

                        Truly I mean no offense, but alka's post made me laugh out loud, because everytime i see your name, I get a visual of a very calm R2D2 with a towel draped over his arm. :)

                          I finally have the explanation, and I *still* don't get your handle, Servorg (yes, I've wondered if perhaps you belonged to some type of service organization)....but that's ok, because I LOVE your avatar, not to mention your always reliable posts when I make it down to LA...

                          however, at least your handle isn't sort of ordinary like mine (not to mention geographically inaccurate now that I live in the Central Valley)...

                        Entirely possible, but because it was in a food forum, I ran with the obvious (to me).

                      Then there's Ed Dibble...

                      And, isn't there a Sal Vanilla?

                                I felt kinda silly using that name on a food-related board (in my case, it's grayelf with an a) but it has a lot of non-Lord-of-The-Rings meaning to me so I went with it. Coincidentally, I quite enjoy your handle as well, invinos :-).

                                I've always loved Tatamagouche and Sal Monella.

                                But, if I was clever when I first logged on many years ago, it would have been Junior Childs.

                                When my youngest son was 3 yrs old, he used to watch This Old House every afternoon and call out to me when it was over, "Mom, Junior Childs is on". ;)

                                                  The second part of this reply will get you started http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/558290 since it sounds like you are just now inquiring.

                                                    You might have to email CH directly to ask, but I don't *think* you can.

                                                      I'm pretty sure you can't. You have to close out the account and open anew.

                                                                                                              Ironically, on several non-food-related sites (including the dating site on which I met my wife back in the previous century) I've used the name saltimbocca. I have no idea why I didn't use it when I started on Chowhound. I guess I assumed it would be pretentious to name myself after actual chow.

                                                                                                              As for names I like - Perilagu Khan is my current favorite, along with good old BarmyFotheringayPhipps. As an old P.G. Woodhouse fan I know the derivation (and pronunciation!) of the latter, but would love to hear from Perilagu how he came up with his.

                                                                                                            3. bushwickgirl May 19, 2010 11:27 AM

Although most likely the second group of names on your list are real, we can't be sure that, for example, Alan is really Mr. Barnes. I knew an Alana Lipschitz who legally changed her name as soon as she turned 18. And yes, I meant LAST name. Can't really blame her, although by 18 the worst of the peer group mockery was probably behind her. I wonder how many Liptons were born Liptons?
