What inspired your BN Name?

Post by Quiet and Shy »

There are some great names on this board -- some easier to figure out than others -- I was wondering what inspired each of you to pick your BN name?

Being "Quiet and Shy", I thought I'd start. One of my favorite songs is Wino and I Know, and I take my name from the lyric:

Just trying to get by being quiet and shy
In a world full of pushin and shove
...
Livin my life like a song

What about the rest of you?
"Reading departure signs in some big airport reminds me of the places I've been"

50 countries and territories, 46 states...so far

Four Play is the name of my boat.
It was a pleasure and a hell of an evening
Truly was our night to win
But the authorities insist on my leaving
Take care my American friend

I've been land locked for pretty much my whole life, but when I get a chance you can find me hiding in some reef. :pirate:

My name sucks. I tried a few names and they were taken, so I guess the creative juices were not flowing that day, so I chose something I really regret. I am not even a football fan!

Well mine is pretty obvious, but Tin Cup Chalice is my favorite song, so I decided I would create a screen name from a line in that song. 8) 8)

I know, kind of boring!!
