So whats the story behind your Dis name?

[DerangedChipmunk]

It's ok to laugh at me for this one:

When I was seven my parents accidentally took me through a "haunted" tower at a castle we were visiting while trying to get up to the battlements. When I realized my trauma had been for naught (the exit was two feet from the entrance and not, as my Mother had theorized, on the battlements) I was 'speechless' with rage. Coming from a seven year old, it came out as lots of little chattering noises and a lot of stamping and spinning. My Dad yelled out:

"Look, hon, it's a deranged chipmunk!"

the name stuck, although they usually shorten it to "DC"

But I want to know how Robo came up with his name......

I keep checking back thinking we may all find out...

 

[BDL]

When I turned 21 I had 2 friends I hung out with a lot but neither one was a drinker. Being a 21 year old male I wanted to go out to the bar but they didn't. One friend referred to drinking as "Red Dogging" (as in the beer) and called me "Red Dog" every time I said I was going out with other friends.

The other friend always liked to point out the fact that "11:34" on a digital clock spells "hell" upside down. So whenever a user name is taken, I just add "1134" to it.

That's awesome.

 

[MMrules]

I wanted a Disney type name and everything I was trying was taken. So I thought MMrules....as in Mickey Mouse rules my happy place, life and every wonderful memory I have at WDW. Kinda corny I know

 

[IslandAdventure4]

At the time I signed up we lived on an Island, and every time we went somewhere special we called it an Adventure, and there is four of us in our family. Hence IslandAdventrue4....

 

[LUVMICKEY]

It's easy, I just love that little guy. He has always been one of my favorites. He is just the big cheese and the beginning of why we love Disney so much.

 

[Jellomaker]

Well, mine is very simple. When I joined I was making Cherry Jello for a whole bunch of babysitting kids. My first name also starts with a "J" so it just seemed to fit at the time. I now wish I had been more "Disney Creative" and picked something to do with Mickey.

Great Question to ask and I have enjoyed reading the answers!

 

[Melindarella]

Well duh! It's because he knows everything and thus deserves our thanks and praise at all times of the day. Domo Arigatou, Mr. Roboto!

That's what I think of whenever I see his name, anyway... *slinks back into the corner with the other Styx fans who may or may not exist here*

Hahaha...too funny - now I've got that song stuck in my head.

Robo's dis-name always makes me think of RoboCop.......

But I agree - he knows everything! All hail Robo!!

 

[macraven]

i use Macs and my name is Raven


(btw, it is also a family name)

 

[Pocahottie]

I've happened to love Pocahontas since I was a little girl and it just never left me! Plus Pocahontas is beautiful and I think Pocahottie just sounds hilarious.

 

[1153rsmith]

Some areas of the country are familiar with the Piggly Wiggly supermarkets. Well, I work for the company and my Dis name comes from our mascot.

You mean THE PIG is in Wis.? I thought they were only down south.

I'm stickin with the Pig!!!

 

[pilferk]

Been using this "alias" for a LONG time. Started using it for online fantasy baseball back when Bulletin Boards (BBS) were around.

pilfer = to steal
k = strike outs

 

[Reddog1134]

That's awesome.

Glad you liked the explanation. I looked up yours and noticed that it's also involves bars/drinking and you posted it at 11:34.

 

[Sunday at 7]

If you are over fifty, and a life long Disney fan, you should be able to figure it out.

 

[macraven]

I'm stickin with the Pig!!!

hate to be the one that breaks the news but the Pig is also in Illinois.

i'm a card holding Pig Wig......

 

[DisGirl819]

Mine's easy...I like the Dis...I'm a girl and 819 is my birthday

 

[JMD]

I tried coming up with some creative nickname, but the one I wanted was already taken.

Since I couldn't think of anything else, I just used my initials.

 

[2 Little Mermaids]

My avatar explains the name. The oldest has changed her favorite princess many times (which is currently Jasmine) but the younger one is hard core Ariel.

 

[NYDisneyKid]

originally from NY

I think that too.
**OT** My DH actually banned me from listening to Styx for a while (or he tried to). I was coming home from school and I parked the car in the garage. I was listening to "Renegade" on my iPhone /w ear phones in my ears. After the garage door shut, I got out of the car. 6 or 8 hours later my youngest DS and I were feeling super sleepy and my DH started smelling something. I had left the car running in a closed garage for 6 or 8 hours and my DH thought that it was b/c I was distracted from listening to Styx.

Anyway back to the topic at hand. It is really interesting to find out how people got their DIS name.
