Headhunter 6 Posted August 1, 2009 Hey, I know this is the "Chick Room", but I would sure like to know the origin of some of your user names. It's quite an interesting thing to observe, how/why people select their User names and passwords. I would have thought there would be more replies to this by now!

Headhunter 6 Posted August 1, 2009 I also thought there would have been more replies, maybe i should have posted it somewhere else. So HH - what was the origin of yours? yes, I suppose if I was to post here, I should probably include MINE! Many moons ago, I played in a Rock and Roll band, we toured all over the place, and we had lots of nice little groupies. As a result, my band mates gave me that nickname. I will let your imagination fill in the sordid details...... I have used it ever since, even going back to the "CB Radio" days, where it was my "handle". Unfortunately, it's not all that unique, and you will find "headhunters" in forums all over the planet. I should have Trademarked it.... HH Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Karamel 1 Posted August 1, 2009 I worked at a concert venue and we would use nicknames on our nametags. So when ppl would say Karamel said she would get me in free the door ppl knew they didnt actually know me lol. I became karamel because I worked with 2 gay guy who were a mixed couple and we called them vanilla and chocolate and since im a skin tone in between I became Karamel lol. I had to make it a little more interesting than Caramel so I spelled it with a K Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
