How Did You Come About Your Username/login Name? by tonyx4x44(m): 2:24pm On Jul 21, 2014
My story

My name is Tony, "obviously" and here is how i came up with my username...



*Starting out with tony and as expected it has been used by about 34667 people, by the way i like something special and exclusive to me, so i set out for a hunt for the perfect username.

*Started out by adding an "x" (my favourite letter; don't ask me why).

*didn't like it too much because it looked funny and probably because a Google search for the username will be perceived by Google as a failed attempt at spelling "onyx"

* i advanced by adding a "4" my favourite number (not in anyway associated with cultism or allied activities) which readily comes to mind because i have 3 siblings and also a car can only take that amount of extra passengers; not taking the popular practice of overloading in Nigeria into consideration. i now hard "tonyx4"

* this look kinda imbalanced and ugly so i added an "x" to even it out = tonyx4x

* then i added two "4"s for no given reason...


product = tonyx4x44 which looks kinda cool, well to me.

N.B: this extremely tasking and complicated mental activities occurred over a period 2 years long before i met Nairaland.

Now how did you create yours?

My user name is not any way related to my real name.
I love reading novels. I was reading one of Danielle Steel's book "the ranch" fell in love with one of the characters and decided to use her name as my monicker

PENDUSKY has never been used anyway In the world!

When I was in secondary school I wrote 8 things that will define me in future I scramble the word and I get Pendusky! pronounced PEN-DUS-KEY.

most people don't really know my real name unless I tell them!

I remember when my friend came to my place asked my dad, "sire pls am looking for pendusky" hehehehehe, thank God now my dad is conversant with the name! grin
