Hi, I don't know whether this has been done before, but I was wondering, what's behind the name some members give themselves on this site. I couldn't really think of anything original so went with Richard2.
So what's the reason behind your name ?
What's in a name?

Mine is the old English word for one who works with copper, just like a Blacksmith, only copper is the red metal, so redsmith, http://redsmith.wordpress.com/
I made my profile photo, a copper leaf!

Mine comes from SpaceRaptorZulu, which I used on another site.
Don't ask me about SpaceRaptor, but I chose Zulu because it's NATO Phoenetic for Z.

Well Tom Wolf is quite random to be quite frank. I don't like to use personal details for names on sites, as I've always had a grudge on the NSA checking out my accounts and stuff, so no need to feed them with things for free. I guess I heard Tom Wolf somewhere and it sounded quite neat so I used this alias

Citeer: neilithicHow about Virginia Woolf?I always think of Virginia as a bit pyscho... if you know what I mean.
As for Tom Wolfe, never actually thought about him. I've heard of the Bonfire of the Vanities although other than reading a few coin magazines, these forums and catalogues, I'm not much of a "novel reader", if you know what I mean. Like my dad always says: "Wait for the movie to come out son".

Kartway
My name is Kart and I do things Kart-way. Living KartWay is a lifestyle, an attitude, things that you do and how you do them, lol.
At some point I have written some random stuff like "Smiling through the troubles Kart-Way" or "Multitasking Kart-Way" or "Getting rich Kart-Way".
I dunno, somehow through life it has just sticked as my forumname in many places. Even people I know in real life often say about something that it's a Kart-way of things.
Nothing to do with karts (little cars) or kartways where they are driven at.

Umm... well Brittania because...
a- A 1936 penny was the first old coin that got me interested,and it had the Britannia effigy on it, and
b-Since I was hiding my gender back when I joined, (more about that on the other topic :p), it sounded like a fitting way to hint my actual gender.
I realized I spelt "Britannia" wrong too late though.... Ah well

My nick is a mutant offspring of Star Trek Klingon (House of) and a Diablo II paladin sub-class, unofficially known as hammerdin, due to their use of Blessed Hammer as their primary attack skill. Pretty silly, isn't it?

My name is Davit Mikeladze. Dato / D`ato/ and not / D`eitou/ like most US friends call me is a friendly name from Davit ( like Robert - Bob, Charlie - Chuck ) .
that's al :) Mikeladze is my Family name ( surname)
Davit ( დავით ) is same as David, just pronounced with "t" in its end on Georgian. Since Georgian language consists of only with letters, which are sounds as well ( we dont have letter combinations with another sound, like in English or French etc... Each letter has only its own sound, and nothing more) , my name in modern Georgian passport is also DAVIT ( and not DAVID) .
we have two main Saints with name David:
David from Gareja, - ( St`David Garejeli ) - one of 13 Assyrian Monks, who preached Orthodoxy in Georgia in the same time in the 6 th century and founded a unique mountain monastery Gareja.
and
David IV The Builder ( David Aghmashenebeli დავით აღმაშენებელი ) - greatest Georgian King.
thats my history :)
yours

Very interesting thread that was hidden in the depths of the forum.
My nick is actually my name. It sounds like Jason but writed in portuguese version.
Usually I avoid my last name, because is the name of an insect, and is too embarassing...

oops 5 years late but here it goes:
844448 came from one of the first "nice number" banknotes I received. It is a Taiwanese banknote. Coincidentally, the starting characters of the same banknote are "QW" so I guess that's how my name came to be on Numista. In all honesty, I was a little worn out the day I set up my account so I just groggily keyed in what came to my mind. I'm glad that it did for I'd never know if my username up here will be something like "money makes the world go round" since that was the name of the project I was working on that night.

Mine's not coin related in anyway
Mine comes from videogames, namely the Metal Gear Solid games where you have personell on a base, and they have random nicknames that seem to be Words and Animals.
Hence, Flying, Red Panda

Citeer: "BCNumismatics"'BCNumismatics' is actually short for my area of interest - British Commonwealth Numismatics.
It is natural to me, as I live in New Zealand - one of 16 countries that has Queen Elizabeth II as our head of state & monarch.

Thanks for resurrecting this thread "qwerty844448"
My past usernames (on various forums) never really had much to do with collecting (other than my slow approach) so that's why I chose "Serial Number 8" handle. I think that it's a cool serial number plus it is very specific (non generic). I realize that #1 SN (00000001) is truly the "holy grail" for most collectors with higher BV but a lot of banknote collectors appreciate the #8 (solid 8888888 radars) etc & I like the handle "Celtic Knot" which was used at another site (& didn't want to be a copy-cat nor confused with that collector) & since I always employ specific collecting goals, I figured this number would do the trick.

It's the name of a guitar. Caster can be a caster of spells, so I sign with the little wizard.
Maybe caster of coins would be more appropriate, but no emoji for that yet.

Moneytane
Tane is my real name and Money is just something I like and sums up this site. It's one of the few forum boards where I don't mention Prince in my name (Prince the Black Musical God).

I love coins. Especially silver, gold and anything really old.
