People participate in finance, sports and other message boards. How does one pick a screen name in each of the boards? Which screen name you remember the most and why? I will pick up first. I picked up this name because I think I saw a screen name 'white cloud' and the first thing flashed in my mind was 'black storm' and no other reason  . The one screen name that has remained with me over years is 'always browsing'. Isn't it a nice name? Share what you think on this topic.. |

I always pick screen name based on filmi theme but to be fair I don't participate in any board except this and Indian TV shows website. There, lot of screen names are based on celebrities or idols they adore. So you see several versions of Katrinas, Madhuris, Kareenas, Aamirs, Shahrukhs floating around with different numbers  OP, your name is neat though I won't call it the best I remember names I come across as they are all filmi names but they are not intriguing or anything special. |

Interesting topic but I pick this name everywhere I go (not that I go many places) because it reminds me of : 1. How often my wife calls me as Dumb 2. How often my kids call me as Dumb Dad 3. I went to Disneyworld and longest I had to get on a ride was Dumbo ride and I was seething with frustration for that long wait for that stupid ride. I just change one vowel so I don't come across as dumb and I repeated that like my family repeats saying anything twice to me The names that intrigue me are any names that are not dumb |

I usually pick up on names that resonates with my feelings at a time. Right now 'Live Life one moment at a time' resonates with me.
The one name that has stayed with me was 'Pamela' in one of the mom boards I hang out with. I was new to US, did not know anything about TV shows. My DH always used to watch 'Bay Watch' and he always used to bring references of leading actress's primary assets, so the actress name stayed with me and then in one mom's board, primary participation was done by one mom called Pamela and that is etched in my memory because of the name and how passionately she used to defend her stance.
Here I like 'Suhasini' as she was amazing in 'Sindhu Bhairavi' the only Tamil movie I have watched. Does she act still ?

Thanks, I like Suhasini too.. She does perform some guest roles here and there. I haven't seen her in a main role in a long time.
But my reason for my screen name is not the actress - I like it's meaning and the sweetness in its pronunciation. There is an air of pleasantness when you say the name.

I usually add 'rocks' to any site I become member of ;D Easy to remember and easy to satisfy the group's moderators I like all names that are easy to remember. Complicated themes and associated stories are nice but I usually don't remember them. People form friendships (and thus remember) based on the viewpoints and screen names do not matter in my view. |

Do we remember the act of Walsh more or the fact that WI probably missed the World Cup due to his sportsmanship . The second discussion anywhere about Walsh would be about the possible run out he could've effected. The way you are remembered by cricket lovers is more important than winning. |
