+SerenityFound Posted June 1, 2009 Posted June 1, 2009 Mine is an homage to the show Firefly and movie Serenity. Plus caching is a very serene activity for me... a chance to step away from all of the craziness. BTW - you can watch the whole Firefly series at www.hulu.com for free. Awesome show. Quote
+Global Voyager Posted June 1, 2009 Posted June 1, 2009 For 25 years I was in the British Royal Navy. Throughout that time I sailed all of the world's oceans, visiting every continent including Antarctica and many ports in lots of countries. Therefore I rightly claim to be a Global Voyager! Quote

Plus caching is a very serene activity for me... a chance to step away from all of the craziness. BTW - you can watch the whole Firefly series at www.hulu.com for free. Awesome show. My buddy was one of the writers for the show and even has a part in one episode as "guy on planet" or something awesome like that He writes and produces for Lost now... Neat to see that you based your title on that show Quote
+FrogAndPig Posted June 1, 2009 Posted June 1, 2009 One day, a wife looked at her husband and said, "You look just like a frog!" This was an unsolicited comment and totally at random. Without missing a beat, the Frog look at his wife and said, "Well, if you married a Frog, that must make you Miss Piggy." And so, Frog and Pig were born. Quote
+BAMBOXES Posted June 1, 2009 Posted June 1, 2009 This is a fantastic thread topic! I agree - Learning about the handles helps introduce eachother, and can often tell a great story. Mine is pretty basic, but it's my choice all the same so here goes: 7 year old son = Bracken Mom = Andria (Andi) Dad = Mak = BAM We love the idea behind nestling little treasures out in the world for others to enjoy. Like treasure boxes. BAMboxes. We just got into actually being able to cache because until my birthday we didn't have a gps - so now the fun will ensue! Quote
topflitejr1 Posted June 1, 2009 Posted June 1, 2009 Back in the 70's, my Dad chose a CB Handle that reflected his occupation and favorite hobby. He was a Navy Pilot and he loved to golf. Cleverly, he chose Topflite. Sharing his interest in airplanes (but not the golfing) and to carry on the tradition so-to-speak, I chose Topflitejr1. Quote
+SSBN616G Posted June 2, 2009 Posted June 2, 2009 I spent 24 years in the U. S. Navy as a submarine "nuc" ET. The title refers to the first submarine I was assigned to (USS Lafayette), and on which I earned my dolphins. Since FBM submarines have two crews (Blue and Gold), the "G" means that I was on the "Gold" crew. Quote
modernman Posted June 3, 2009 Posted June 3, 2009 Modern Man is the name of a song by Bad Religion and I was a big fan in college. The nickname stuck later since I usually spent all my free income on gadgets. Quote
+joyinthelitterbox Posted June 3, 2009 Posted June 3, 2009 People tell me my caching name is quite weird. No one else has it! Joy in the Litterbox is also the name of my blog. First off, I love cats. Next, I'm a writer. My middle name is Joy. While trying to come up with a memorable name for my blog (and doing the icky deed of cat clean up) I was stuck by an analogy. Life was rotting for me at the moment, but somehow I found ways to twist the trials and laugh. I saw The World as a litterbox. Turds are inevitable. But do we have to be down about them all the time? Part of my "branding" as a writer is to infuse humor in tough life situations. Hence, Joy in the Litterbox. You can find joy among life's turds. Sick I know, but it works well. People remember my blog and I have a huge reader base. It's also a general enough ID because I write contemporary young adult fiction as well as being a Outdoor Recreation journalist for Examiner.com. My JITLB "philosophy" applies across the board. Quote
+Chrysalides Posted June 3, 2009 Posted June 3, 2009 I saw The World as a litterbox. I hope this doesn't mean you treat the world as your litterbox as that is a bit... disturbing Interesting handle. Quote
+KJcachers Posted June 4, 2009 Posted June 4, 2009 (edited) Ours has a double . 1st is that our names are Karen and Jason. The 2nd is that we both drive Jeep Liberty's which in the Jeep world has the model designation of KJ. sounds right and works for us! Edited June 4, 2009 by KJcachers Quote

We happen to be the fastest volunteers in the nation!! check out www.susquehanna5.com Edited June 4, 2009 by SHCO531 Quote
+Dgwphotos Posted June 4, 2009 Posted June 4, 2009 Mine is my first inital with my last name. I would have used my normal screen name, which is Davidw, (first name with last inital), but it usually gets taken quickly when people start choosing screen names. I halfway wish I had chosen something that reflects my photography interest, but I don't want try to change it now. Quote
+Hrethgir Posted June 5, 2009 Posted June 5, 2009 OK, changed mine, I used to be HondaH8er (see page 2 for my original post), but just got it changed on Monday. "Hrethgir" is from the Dune book prequels written by Brian Herbert (Frank Herberts son, the author of the original Dune books) and Kevin J. Anderson, excellent books. Anyways, back when the Machines ruled, and humans were just slaves to them, the Machines used the word "hrethgir" as a derogatory word for humans. Quote
+Chris & Renee Posted June 5, 2009 Posted June 5, 2009 Mine dates back before the beginning of time, where the universe was just a spec...... umm ok not really it's a lot simpler than that. My Name's Chris and my Partners is Renee. put them together and i think you can work out the rest. Quote
knowschad Posted June 5, 2009 Posted June 5, 2009 My geocaching title: Well, according to Wikipedia: The term "demigod", meaning "half-god", is used to describe mythological figures whose one parent was a god and whose other parent was human [edited by knowschad] Oh, wait.... you must be referring to my geocaching NAME! Oops! I know a guy named Chad. Quote
+BlueDeuce Posted June 5, 2009 Posted June 5, 2009 (edited) This is the name I was stuck with when gc.com removed the ability to change your own username. Blue Meanie was taken but I remembered that deuce was an obscure term for devil. Hence why my main avatar is a blue and evil. Edited June 5, 2009 by BlueDeuce Quote
+humanloofa Posted June 5, 2009 Posted June 5, 2009 Mine is exactly what it says. I'll help some keep it clean. Quote
+LightHouseSeekers Posted June 5, 2009 Posted June 5, 2009 (edited) After we got started in the game, I decided I didn't like our original choice. Looking at the names others were using thought something else we had an interest in would be appropriate. When we get lazy or sign a nano log we use LHS hence the capitalization in our name. Edited June 5, 2009 by LightHouseSeekers Quote
+JohnE5 Posted June 5, 2009 Posted June 5, 2009 Mine is my first name and the first letter of my last. The E5 also works as the pay grade I was when I started caching more. It works well as Johnny5 from the movie SHORT CIRCUIT. Quote
+VirginiaGator Posted June 6, 2009 Posted June 6, 2009 (edited) I inherited the name from a friend I've had since we were 4 years old. I had lived in FL 15 years and was ready for a new place! Ended up moving to Virginia. My friend said...I can't call you Florida Gator any more. Now I have to call you...Virginia Gator! Ta da! P.S. I had a good laugh a couple years ago when there was a small alligator found in one of the lakes in our community. Unfortunately, they attributed it to someone letting a "pet" loose. Edited June 6, 2009 by VirginiaGator Quote
+The Hand of Nod Posted June 6, 2009 Posted June 6, 2009 when I joined, I spent ages looking round the room for something to use, being a star trek fan I had loads of books and films that I thought of using but didn't want to be TOO much of a geek! I also then spied my collection of church books and had a wonderful idea. (you know! The first one is usually the worst one!!). I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, we have no paid preachers, we operate a system of laypreaching, so... Lds Preacher. I got so much stick of the wife later for it and I still get called sad and a geek for it!! Ah well Quote

Warbones Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 Years ago I played a computer game called EverQuest. Warbones was name I gave to my character. When I discovered this forum I was too excited to think of anything clever and just wanted to dive in. Quote
+joyinthelitterbox Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 I saw The World as a litterbox. I hope this doesn't mean you treat the world as your litterbox as that is a bit... disturbing Interesting handle. No worries. I love the convienience of modern plumbing. Quote
+jeanne123 Posted June 13, 2009 Posted June 13, 2009 Nothing exciting here - my name is Jeanne. The 123 is kind of meaningless, but I had to tack on something to make it unique. Quote
+dvogelgesang Posted June 13, 2009 Posted June 13, 2009 Mine comes from an RPG name generator because I'm terrible at coming up with nicknames on my own. I used it in a few online games, mainly Asheron's Call. Quote
+kernow Posted June 13, 2009 Posted June 13, 2009 I'm from Cornwall in England, Kernow is Cornish for Cornwall. Quote
+The Blorenges Posted June 13, 2009 Posted June 13, 2009 I'm from Cornwall in England, Kernow is Cornish for Cornwall. So am I, so I recognised the name as being someone from west of the Tamar originally MrsB Quote
+sweetlife Posted June 14, 2009 Posted June 14, 2009 When Val and I started we couldn't think of anything, so we took parts of each of our email addresses at the time Vals was sweetandjuicy1976@yahoo and mine was lifesaver54149@yahoo So there you have it sweetlife Quote
+Ain'tWastin'Time Posted June 29, 2009 Posted June 29, 2009 I am a big fan of The Allman Brothers Band and wanted a Geocache name that would relflect that. My first two choices, "Ramblin' Man" and "Southbound", were taken. I tried "Ain't Wastin' Time No More" but ran out of characters. So I shortened the name to make it fit. Quote
mtneergeocacher Posted June 29, 2009 Posted June 29, 2009 I am from West Virginia and a big fan of WVU. Plus I am always outdoors - so I guess you would call me a "Mountaineer" hehe Quote
chillin209 Posted June 29, 2009 Posted June 29, 2009 this is just a user name I have been using for years on various forums and online activity Quote
+Blue_Suede Posted June 29, 2009 Posted June 29, 2009 No, I'm not a Carl Perkins or even an Elvis fan. The Suede part is a pun on me being Swedish and the Blue.. well, it just seemed as a natural addition. Have been using this name for over 7 years and in various forums. Quote
+The magician & his assistant Posted June 29, 2009 Posted June 29, 2009 I am a professional magician, and my wife is my assistant. Quote
+Rainbow Spirit Posted June 29, 2009 Posted June 29, 2009 The Rainbow Spirit is the Dreamtime Spirit in Australian Aboriginal mythology that created all the features of the world. It is also the name of my sailing boat, and I have always had a deep appreciation of the seven colours that make up the rainbow, I even have a rainbow coloured tandem bicycle..so it made sense to me to call myself.....

+DeadHead82 Posted June 29, 2009 Posted June 29, 2009 I am a big fan of The Allman Brothers Band and wanted a Geocache name that would relflect that. My first two choices, "Ramblin' Man" and "Southbound", were taken. I tried "Ain't Wastin' Time No More" but ran out of characters. So I shortened the name to make it fit. Right on Brother! lol i guess no pun intended. I was a VERY spoiled kid. I got to grow up with access to my old man's record collection. I still have his old turn table along with hundreds of LP's. I'm only 26, but often enough people tell me that i was born a generation too late. I tried to find obscure references to make a handle, but couldn't come up with anything. '82 being the year i was born, and well...DeadHead is more than self-explanatory. On a side note, Bobby Weir and Ratdog are on tour this summer and I'm going to see them in my state capitol on July 5th! Screw vacation, let's go see some shows!! Quote
+Cpl. Klinger Posted June 29, 2009 Posted June 29, 2009 Well, I started out as franklin_cacher, because I was from Franklin, and I cached. And I never thought my wife would get into this. She is actually more active than I am, and took over that account with a new name, Col. Flagg. I created my own after I got my own GPS, as Cpl. Klinger. As you can tell, we're huge fans of MASH. Even going to order the full series on DVD this month. Quote

+The Caching Vicar Posted June 29, 2009 Posted June 29, 2009 When I first created my Caching ID I didn't know that it would become my 'name' and so I chose my surname and initials. Unfortunately my surname isn't easy to pronounce correctly (Bouskill) and so, after a year ago I changed it to The Caching Vicar. I love caching, I'm a vicar (Church of England Priest) So know you know. Quote
+sseegars Posted June 29, 2009 Posted June 29, 2009 I got tired of worrying about groups both statewide and locally so I don't really belong to a group anymore and I am FreeKacher. It also has a religious connotation. Quote
+The Willis Family Posted June 30, 2009 Posted June 30, 2009 The Willis Family - simply the name of our little clan of hunters. Quote
rwilliams102205 Posted June 30, 2009 Posted June 30, 2009 Ok this might be a dumb question but can I change my name without loosing the caches that I have found so far? I had made my name before the family took interest in caching. If i can how in the world do you do it? Quote
+Pendragon Crew Posted June 30, 2009 Posted June 30, 2009 Ours started as an experiment in junk mail years ago. I used to sign up for catalogs and whatnot using various fictional names just to see what company would spawn more junk for other companies. I always used book character surnames - anything from Moriarty to d'Urberville. Pendragon was the one that kind of stuck. We still get catalogs and even telemarking calls for the Pendragons. We added the Crew just to signify that we are a group. Quote
+RayandLynn Posted July 2, 2009 Posted July 2, 2009 Well, we dont have much immagination when it comes to names like this. He's Ray, and She's Lynn. Even our Facebook is RayandLynn. *sigh* Dull names for people who enjoy mini adventures!! Quote
