GenVibe - Community for Pontiac Vibe Enthusiasts

I have seen some interesting user names since I have become a GENVIBE Member. I was just wondering "WHERE DID YOU GET YOUR USER NAME?"

Bought Command and Conquer when it first came out. Wanted to play online and couldnt think of a name I sat around and thought about wicked..... DOnt know why... but since then everything I use has wicked in it.

Its what I call my car - its Satellite silver and SPUTNIK was a Satellite.

A lot of usernames are already explained in http://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id=6033

I'm a psychotic insurance broker? Yeah, sort of

I give up! What can ya do?

, I did a search but came up empty

my fault

I'm not a smart man....

My Vibe is Fusion Orange which is called Sunburst Orange in Canada. Also up here in the frozen north we don't get a lot of hot, sunny days.I love the sun and hot days so thus the name "Sunny".

I give up! What can ya do?No worries. he asked what peoples user names meant, and that other thread has a bunch of them explained. that's all. Also, by providing the link to the previous post, the two threads are now somehow tied together, so when people see this one, they can find the other one as well. search has been a bit weird since the upgrade, I only found the older thread because I remembered it. I didn't provide the link to the previous thread to be all uppity about "don't start a new thread when there's an old one on the same topic." Maybe if search ever works better we can get back to no mercy hassling people over that. but not yet.

Quote, originally posted by 4X4CHICHI »my faultonly thing you did wrong was ask the question but not answer it for your own user name. What does 4X4CHICHI mean?

Yes the search function doesn't seem to be working quite right lately. I'd say its a bit wonky.

Quote, originally posted by Sputnik »I'd say its a bit wonky.Ha! Now I can say I'm not the only person I've heard use that phrase! Oh and for the story behind my username...Being terribly unoriginal it's just a play on my last name.

Mine goes way back to the Commador 64 days. my brother in-law and I would play video golf. I was always Chichi. then I got into toyota landruisers (fj40's) so I added 4x4 to the beginning.

When I'm not chatting about modifications to cars, I'm actually a writer (hopefully published someday soon) with a couple of books in the works. Yeah I know, go with one and se what happens right? Well Mavrik is a character in one of them, sorta based emotionally off myself so well there ya go.

I'm a Pontiac fan, and well the slogan is, Pontiac: Fuel for the Soul.

I drove the vibe gt past my parents when I bought it. They said it looked like...."a shot in the dark...."

My initials are "KBJ". Spell it out and you get "kaybeejay".

I traded in my 2000 Mustang for my Vibe. I'm not terribly creative either, so the name Stang2Vibe was born. I've actually thought about changing my name on here, but everyone has come to know me by it so I guess I'll leave it alone.

Well, I think Stang2Vibe is kinda catchy...My username is obvious, I'm a chick, and I have a Vibe. Also not creative. I'm not always good with naming things. Occasionally I will get some inspiration. For example, my daughter's name is Anais, which I think is nice, and different. But, I also have a five year old cat name Kitten, sooo....it'(removed) and miss!

Well, thanks!Quote, originally posted by VibeChick »For example, my daughter's name is Anais, which I think is nice, and different.

Well, I bet your daughter will be glad that you had a more creative naming day when you chose her name than the day you chose your cat's! LOL!

the origin of my name is anyones guess...

well my name is russell so people call me russ. and 257 is for the 257 roberts which is a rifle caliber that i happen to enjoy

That is an easy one for me. My dogs,-Shiba Inus from Japan.

hey, ms. j, was wondering where you were!well, my name comes from trd= toyota racind development + vibe. pretty easy.

I don't believe it would take a rocket engineer to figure where mine came from. I was surprised no one had it when I applied. James (Vibe)

In my early teens, my best friend lived on a farm near our cottage. His dad noticed that each summer, about the time I showed up for the holidays, his dutiful, hard-working son turned slacker and stuff started breaking and blowing up around the farm. Somehow he associated this phenomenon with my presence and so dubbed me "Mad Bill" for my negative influence...

Mine came from my other car, a 1970 Mini. Everyone I new called it the Pissed off Gokart, because it handles like a go kart and goes like hell. I found it to be very catchy so I adopted it.

Mine is a play on my last name, which came about when the team I was playing softball for was playing in the state tourny. Sometimes also refered to as the "captain"

Mine's pretty obvious, isn't it? It was one of my favorite record labels when I was DJing.ND

I'm so very original...It's my initials.

thanks for all of your replies

i love crescent rolls...seriously.

DoughBoy, I posted your obituary in http://forums.genvibe.com/zero...76000

my online name pretty much everywhere I go is Pablo1669. It's from way back in the day. Pablo was my spanish name in 8th, 9th and 10th grades. Our teacher made us pick a spanish name to use. It's also party due to the Jerky boys... Pablo honey, please come to Florida.16 is my soccer number since forever, and when your a freshman in highschool, 69 is pretty cool

I spent two years at C. Schwab in a building with more than 1000 people. I was an assist. mgr. in the mailroom. Nobody really remembered my name so they called me the Mail Guy. It stuck.

Pablo... that was my name in spanish class as well, but I was assigned that name cause I'm an artist. Toasted7 has been my nick on everything for quite some time... got it from a really bad sunburn (I burn VERY easily, as you will find out if you see me at any of the Vibe Meets) I got when I was younger on vacation in Florida and my dad said I was toasted. The 7 is there cause that's my birthday... not extrodinarily original, but it works for me.

well my last name is benoit but pernounced benwa so therfor XbenwaX (dont know were the X's came from though)
