The Origins of your Mygnr name

Recommended Posts

Although I have been mistaken for actually being the professional wrestler The Sandman - I'm sorry to disappoint. I do look (slightly) like him from some angles (okay, tenuously), I can often be seen sporting the look of contempt:

But, I don't have a barbed wire tattoo, I've never had a drink problem and I've not aged as much as he has... so I'm probably doing okay.

It's a cross between my fanship of him, and Neil Gaiman's Sandman series... and all the references that going along with the name as standard.

Or more likely because this explanation put you to sleep.

one of my all time favorite wrestlers.

Mine's a rather boring name but when put on the spot I can never come up with anything as clever as everyone else has. I thought growing up in the 70s I've always loved rock n roll music, also love 80s rock n roll so that's where rock came from. 4eva = for ever, as I said - boring really.

Some here have laughed as I don't know Metallica etc but I'll bet I can name bands you've never heard of as you weren't born then ;) Been listening to rock n roll long before some of you were even born. :P

Well I know the song Run To The Hills but couldn't tell you who sings it, same as Janie's Got A Gun which I only found out was Steven Tyler singing it since following gnr. However I'd never heard of him either - and Sebastian Bach I never knew but recognised him from Gilmore Girls. You'll have to educate me for the missing years I spent looking after hubby & 2 kids - although I had a 2/3yr old who absolutely loved Pretty Fly For a White Boy so much I had to tape it for him. :lol: Maybe if they'd grown up with a love of music like their parents I would know more of these bands & gone to rock concerts. :headbang:

No one really ever needed to know Sebastian Bach. That's all I can say. :lol:

I do find his voice rather annoying, I thought it was just me. He seems like a total nutter but Axl seems to like him.

My name is from a dumb sort of inside joke between friends way back when I was in middle school, like 12 years old. Basically this really weird kid I had classes with awkwardly said "sweetness" out loud a lot. I don't think he was trying to be funny, but my friends and I thought it was the funniest shit ever for some reason. Yup.

Over the years some posters have thought I'm a girl. A few have actually even sent me flirty PM's :lol:

If you didn't know, I'm a heterosexual male. Just sayin...

I was reading a article on yahoo while I was signing up and one of the comments was Haters Gonna Hate. So I used it because I didn't know what else to use really.

You could blame HV for that.

I was in a shit-stirring mood that day.

You got so mad about it thinking I was going to leave it that way! :lol:

my name comes from when I used to visit an old music chat room, it was originally stonetemplegunner but over time some websites wouldnt allow a username that long and it just became stonegunner.

i came up with it after the formation of Velvet Revolver, combined members of GNR and Stone Temple Pilots.

Pretty bloody obvious really. Red hair. Born in 74. 'Redhead' was taken so I had to add a number.

I love this thread. So many things that I've pondered all explained here. I can't tell you how often I've wondered where the usernames on here come from! I reckon I've spent hours in total conjuring up explanations for everyone's name. This should be a compulsory thread where EVERYONE must post their explanation. :D

I'm still waiting for username to explain where he got his username from. :P

Its a reference to a previous screename i had here dirtylenny which i got from an old Lenny Bruce routine where he was getting done for his work being 'obscene' and effectively pornography, the framework of which prompted him refer to himself as 'Dirty Lenny the Pornographer'. And since people had taken to calling me Len or Lenny i thought what else can i think of with Len or Lenny in the name as the first thing that occured to me was former Olympic Gold Medalist and welterweight boxing champion Ray Charles Leonard aka Sugar Ray Leonard or Sugaraylen, see what i did there, see, see, one r where there should've been two? See that shit? Thats cuz I'm a rebel y'see :D

I've actually wanted to change it to SugarGayFemme after a particularly inspired piece of childish name calling on the part of a certain member here who shall Angelica remain nameless :lol: Geeko the Spazzboy is another thats really stuck in my head.
