How did you choose your username on TiBB...

[Ammi]

..I know the forum has had this thread and question before, many times...but there are lots of newer members..so I thought it might be good to have again...



...does your username have particular meaning, something you would care to share... how did it come about if it isn’t your actual name..?...or was the choosing more random etc, maybe reality TV/BB connected..?...

[Jay.]

i typed my name it and realised some bitch already took it :nono:

[Marches]

It’s an abbreviation of a name I used on a music forum long ago

[Smithy]

It was a difficult descision but I thought I’d go with something that represented me well

[Babayaro.]

I can't even remember lol. I was just trying to think of something really obscure and that looked good, and for some reason Chelsea's former Nigerian left back popped into my head :shrug:

[Alf]

Sir Alfred is the greatest TV character of all time. And the sensitive generation need to be made aware of this historical character, as they don't show him on TV anymore. They say he's too offensive! It's just comedy.

[LeatherTrumpet]

My old pal Scott from uni, this was going to be his band's name if he ever created a band (he didnt)

[Niamh.]

It's my name :hee:

[thesheriff443]

The sheriff, comes from being out in town and pulling girls, 443 is my bidders number and over the years I've spent about a 100 grand using it

[smudgie]

Our lovely little pup was called Smudge, and I called her Smudgie.x

[Amy Jade]

I was named after a Nicki Minaj song first

Now it's just my name (and middle name)

[Jay28jay2]

Based off previous usernames I've had on sites. It was originally Jay28jay when I first had this name (Jay being my name, 28 being the day I was born) but then I made another account on something called Jay28jay2 (2 being second account) and i've stuck with it ever since.

[Ammi]

I was named after a Nicki Minaj song first

Now it's just my name (and middle name)

...ahh, that’s interesting, Amy...I’ve always thought it was an Amy Whinehouse thing...

[Ammi]

Our lovely little pup was called Smudge, and I called her Smudgie.x

....awww, I didn’t know that Smudgie...:lovedup:...

[Underscore]

I first adopted it on a political forum so just used it on here ig

[RileyH]

my name

[Lostie!]

The characters of Lost and the fans were referred to as Losties back in the day and I added an exclamation mark because just Lostie was already taken and I didn't think of going with a full stop.

[Withano]

I genuinely thought that your name was Alf

[Withano]

I originally wanted BigBrother32, but some dickhead took that, so I went with BigBrother3232 when I signed up. When I realised I was completely boring and unoriginal I changed it to a nickname-typed thing I have outside of TiBB.

Its pronounced With-Arn-No btw, theres a couple hundred people who probably assume that its my actual name. My real name is only ever used by my Mum and my Nan now lolz.

[DrunkerThanMoses]

Cause I thought moses was drunk in the desert and at the time I was drinking a lot as well

[Firewire]

Firewire was a character in Zoey 101 and I quite liked the way it looked for a username

[Jøsh]

My original username was ThisIsJosh, a play on ThisIsBigBrother.
I then changed it to Jøsh after seeing T*'s username, Tøm and it has stayed ever since.

[Ninastar]

My friend made it up for me

[DouglasS]

I picked my name with Initials of my surname

[Morgan.]

My original username was ThisIsJosh, a play on ThisIsBigBrother.

We love originality :clap1:

[Morgan.]

My username is an album by my favourite band in the whole world. I chose this one because it's the one that's most associated with the band and although I'd heard them lots before, this is the era I became hardcore.

I was gonna name it after my favourite album of theirs, but as it's Self Titled then I don't want to get killed for plagiarism and although Self Titled could be a great username, I wanted something associated with the band. ST could relate to many albums.

[Matthew.]

I chose a name that I won’t look back on and cringe, so I just chose my actual name, which is Matthew.

Me when I first joined. Why I ever ****ing thought ProfessorSmooth would be a good username to have I will never EVER know.

Blurryface is a very good album :hee:

[Morgan.]

Blurryface is a very good album :hee:

It's a shame because it's not their best work. A lot of the album is amazing but a lot is not my cuppa tea (looks at Fairly Local and Polarise)

[Cherie]

I genuinely thought that your name was Alf

Alf used to be wannashag :laugh:

[Matthew.]

:joker: I think you can never go wrong with your actual name

[Matthew.]

I’m sure someone once told me that his name used to be Shag or something :joker:

It actually sounds quite beautiful, poetic :blush2:

[Denver]

I would like to be known as Dolly Bindra please

[Twosugars]

Mine is to remind myself not to take more than

[LukeB]

I don't know how i came up my first tibb name

but i came up with LukeB from thinking of Luke A and Luke S from BB13. My last name starts with B so i just did that.

[Wizard.]

It was my old avatar name I used for a different game

[Oliver_W]

I used a good deal of imagination.

[Marsh.]

My name loves.

[JerseyWins]

I brainstormed

But JerseyWins = New Jersey Wins

That state pride (hard to do for a place like New Jersey :fan:)

[Twosugars]

Yeah, what IS it with New Jersey? Is it a bit like Essex in the UK?

[rusticgal]

.....I chose mine because it's so me...I love all things Rustic.

[parmnion]

I was going for a general in the rome army...totally ****ed the name up once i found the correct one and ended up with this.now its getting abreviated by people reminding me of the cringe i get when my name gets shortened to stu in england.....im scottish....**** off people

[Niamh.]

Alf used to be wannashag [emoji23]That was his real name I think :think:

[RileyH]

I brainstormed

why didn't you just have NewJerseyWins then

[Eddie.]

why didn't you just have NewJerseyWins then

NewJerseyWins sounds weird tbh.

[RileyH]

NewJerseyWins sounds weird tbh.

Was I talking to you

[Eddie.]

Anyways, since I was 9, my friends started calling me "Eddie", as a nickname to my real name, Edward. I kind of stuck with it and it became a part of my identity. I would normally introduce myself like this, "Hello, my name is Edward, or you can just call me Eddie".

I think due to its significance in my life, I decided to put it as my TiBB username...

[TwentyOneThrones]

My original username was my Instagram/Twitter Handle, but I then found out I didn't want people knowing my full name on here so I changed it (gg ppl now know my full name regardless). My current username is my Roblox username, and I just decided to carry it over to here. It's a combination of the name of one of my favourite bands (Twenty One Pilots) and one of my other favourite band's songs (Bring Me The Horizon - Throne). I would have gone for 'TwentyOneHorizons' but I think I prefer TwentyOneThrones...idk...

I don't really know what Essex is like tbh but from the impression I got from watching CBB17 I'd say yes possibly. :joker:

[Gstar]

It's my name :hee:

that is not a nickname that is a short or familiar version of your name


a nickname would be buggerlugs or dobber or some such thing

[Cherie]

That was his real name I think :think:

Highly likely

[Nicky91]

i chose mine it's my name and 91 is from my birthyear 1991 ;)

[Alf]

That was his real name I think :think:Nah, it was just one of my chat up lines.

[-Sue-]

I did have a different name when I started on here but changed it many many years ago - and now it's quite simply my name.. lol

Do wish I had made something fun but not changing again..

[Tozzie]

Many years ago on netmeeting I was Torrap, we have a parrot so its just parrot backwards, anyone one of the lasses from the group always called me Tozzie and it just stuck, I quite like it and have always used it ever since

[Shaun]

obsessed with Barry from Eastenders

[Mystic Mock]

Well originally I was called Jedward Fever on here as I found them to be good fun on TXF, and I even remember me and the Jedward detractors winding each other up at the time about them, but tbf we were all really young at the time and took things too personally about what each other was saying about Jedward.

And then I have kept certain variations of The Mockinator username because of the Terminator Franchise, and because I love to take the piss out of TV Shows and Reality TV contestants I replaced the term part with Mock.

I've got to be honest I've never got why Comedy gets censored, if you don't like the Comedy then don't watch.

[Eddie.]

My cats name is Eddie :love:

I have a fear of cats in general...:joker:

[bitontheslide]

I thought about my name long and hard

[Jessica.]

My username has always been some variation of my own name.

[Toy Soldier]

I've been using the name in various places (forums, online gaming etc) since 2005... started because I got banned on a forum with my previous always-used username, quickly made a new account, and this was playing on the online radio station I was listening to when I was trying to think of a name:

lexLAjh8fPA

True story :omgno:. And I still use it 13 years later. It's basically just like a secondary name now tbh :joker:. If someone shouted Toy Soldier or TS in the street, I'd be like "Yeh?".

[edit] Also, I'm not even an Eminem fan, nor is it the sort of music I'd usually listen to at all :think:. It was just fate...

[Eddie.]

Honestly, such a good question you have asked Ammi.

[Niamh.]

I have a fear of cats in general...:joker:

aww my cat is lovely though :laugh:

[parmnion]

I thought about my name long and hard

How do you know my tinder username?

[andybigbro]

My name is Andy and I like big bro and therefore andybigbro was born :hee:
