Guess I'll start this One!
Solidstan1 - Well simple, my name is Stan, and SolidStan was the first name i thought of when I started online gameing in general. Nothing to do with me being a Solid player (haha).
The "1" thats a different story, I had a phone call from sky poker asking me why I had two accounts, both with player name solidstan, I did not know this myself but the address used to open the accounts matched (I think i remember now opening an account many years ago, but never could got the hang of the game) and then opened a second account by mistake.
Sky then mistakenly closed the wrong account (the one i was using), and sent me my login and pass for my old account. Then when I logged in, it requested I change my user name, as solidstan had already been taken, so i added the 1.

Simple - When I first started playing on a different site it was a case now you see me now you dont!. Knocked out of tournies and sit and gos so fast left a woooosh sound behind.
Should now change my name to snail

Anyhow, I moved into my own flat a couple of years ago and had no internet for the first week or so, then I remembered that there was Sky Poker which you could play through the TV, so I signed up for that using CLIOKID thinking it didn't matter what I'd call myself on it as I'd never use it again once I got the internet....two years later I'm still resenting my choice to call myself this.
Although to be fair the name annoys the heck out of me, so I hope it tilts others too. Lol.
I was just creating my account and couldnt think of an alias and the film 'Norbit' was on at the time, so yea thats it! lol
Mine is boring...second name and fav number...Ryan86 would be more accurate actually...wish I could change it now tho to something a bit more inventive.
The first account I created when I first discovered the interweb was on an Elvis Costello fan site. Registered my name as 'So Lacklustre' which is taken from a corny line in Elvis' song Possesion (fantastic track btw, on the Get Happy!! album). The line is from this verse:
"Now you're sending me your best wishes,
signed with love and vicious kisses
You lack ****, you're so lacklustre
Is that all the strength you can muster?
Possession"
Have used that name, or derivatives of it, ever since (9/10 years).
I live in Hucknall - seemed a good idea at the time, before I realised that a certain ginger haired fellow had the same name!
