As a bouncer I have the opportunity to review hundrds of salutes each week. Since the screen name is supposed to match the name on the salute sign, I pay a little more attention to it than I might otherwise.
I see people with creative names, some really sad EMO ones ... and some kinda obnoxious, too :)
Mine is a name someone on another social site gave me ... I used a variation of my first name there and we were discussing names ... she said that she thought I was a dilly dumpling, a little one ;) ... and I liked how that made me feel.
Before that I had (have?) an online persona that developed many years ago at a site called breakupgirl.com. I was a participant on the site when it was about relationships and advice and I chose that to help me stay focused on the attributes I wanted to have: loyalty, adventurous, and honorable. But it really wasn't *me*. So, I made the switch when I joined fubar to be truthful about myself as I am.
How did you choose your fubar screen name?
