Title: Player Names
Post by: Wyld45 on August 12, 2008, 12:12:31 AM


         Thought this one might interesting. Some of the names out there might not mean anything at
  all,but have had me curious. Mine comes from several "Wild" moments during our overseas
  deployments as an M.P. I was dubbed "Wyld Bill" in a note from one of my MP Partners commending
  me on a job well done. Used it in just about everything since. Even my First Sgt started calling
  me by that name.

awDoc1... Well back in the late 70's I was the youngest chief of police in a town in the state of Indiana and I had to deliver a baby on a kitchen floor and about six months later I had to assist in the delivery of my first son in the entrance to the hospital's Emergency Room as my first wife didn't have the decency to wait until we could get into a room or anyplace other than the hallway.  Everybody started calling me "DOC".  I started playing AirWarrior online on a regular basis in either feb or march of 1996 and there was already a "DOC" so I became "DOC1" and ended up being a squaddie of "DOC" sometime later in AW.  With the death of AW by the hands of "Electronic Arts" , I migrated to AH and added the AW designator so friends would know I was the same "DOC1" that was in AW.  BTW... I still will not purchase anything distributed or made by "Electronic Arts". :rock

All the Best...

I went to Purdue University, and still live near campus in West Lafayette, Indiana (work in the research park).  The Purdue school nickname is "Boilermakers", and the main cheer has in the last 10 years been "Boiler Up!".  "Boilerup" doesn't sound like a callsign though.  So since I get shot down a lot, I created "Boildown"... which does sound like a half-way legit callsign.

Post by: Sloehand on August 12, 2008, 12:19:11 PM
Mine comes from two things.  When I was younger (much, much) I worked bars and nightclubs as a bouncer for many years when I wasn't playing music in them myself.  It was well known I liked Eric Clapton alot so "Slowhand" got attached to me in an off hand way.  Eventually, the ladies behind the bar started relating it to the Pointer Sisters song as well.  <small bow>  :rock

Anyway, it became my handle about 20 years ago when I first went online, and is also my road name when I'm riding Harleys with the boys.

Finally, "Slowhand" was taken in another online enterprise a few years ago, and having bar experience I thought of Sloe Gin, so I changed it to "Sloehand".  It stands out a little better too, don't you think.  :aok

I'm not sure what my name means.

Here you go...

STEPHEN 
Gender: Masculine

Usage: English, Biblical

Pronounced: STEEV-ən (English), STEF-ən (English)   [key]
 
From the Greek name Στεφανος (Stephanos) meaning "crown". Saint Stephen was a deacon who was stoned to death, as told in Acts in the New Testament, and he is regarded as the first Christian martyr. Due to him, the name became common in the Christian world. It was popularized in England by the Normans.
This was the name of kings of England, Serbia, and Poland, as well as ten popes. It was also borne by the first Christian king of Hungary (10th century), who is regarded as the patron saint of that country. More recent bearers include British physicist Stephen Hawking (1942-) and the American author Stephen King (1947-).

My hobbie is recreational gold dredging.  I own a 4" keene 5.5 hp dredge and my pops and I go out every summer either to CA or ID and dredge up river rocks searching for the elusive yellow.  Next year we are contemplating Alaska.

Also, because I am just flat out a bad mofo cartoon plane flier.  Chuck Norris is even scart of me in the arena.   :rock

Most people don't think this but I actually based my name off of the subway system in NY (i"m an hour from the city).

I guess most people thought it was off of the food chain. "Jared" and "Eat Fresh" is now common  :D

as i stated in my other thread "Meaning of names", I was looking for an upgrade from Ghost208 (IDK where Ghost came from, 108 was my 1st AH squad).  At the time i was a big P-51 stick, flew it all the time.  My favorite was the 51B.  While i was doing some research i found a picture of a P-51 named "Beantown Banshee".  I like Banshee so that's what I stuck with.  You ask about the 7?  I have no clue where that came from either.  I wanted "21" at the end but it won't fit....21 being my family's racing number (dirt track in the 80's WOOOT :cool:).

As of my BBS name "DickBong", I have since grown from a 51 stick to a 38 stick...so it just seemed appropriate  :)
