Whats your Username Origin or meaning?

[Desert O'Piñon]

When I do something, I jump in head first, somewhat a manic behavior. But as my experience, wisdom and knowledge grow, I will likely request a username change in the future. BonsaiManic sufficiently describes me now, but as I develop myself and my art/science, I hope a different name will describe me more accurately.
The members of this forum have already taught me so much. The wealth of information and willing generosity of the people here humbles me. There is always someone who knows, or will give their best possible answer for whatever questions I come up with.
Thank you to all the veterans who stick around and still tolerate us noobs.

 

[SeanS]

It is my name

 

[Orion_metalhead]

Master of Puppets is easily one of my favorite albums of all time. They were great, but that album was a masterpiece.

Im partial to Ride the Lightning after all these years as their peak, imo. Kill Em All is a great debut, very urgent and energetic sounding.

 

[River's Edge]

In honour of my uncle who gave his life in World War Two as a navy frogman! It was on my birth certificate, saw no need to change it.
The username because my first bonsai nursery was located on the edge of the Englishman River, Vancouver Island.

 

[ABCarve]

My first venture into the arts was as a woodcarver. I started a school to teach it and hence the ABC part.

I can only imagine how amazing some of your trunks must look!

Really stunning. And I thought you just made beautiful pots...

Thank you Carol. Actually it was the maritime arts, boat building, sail making. Woodcarving was the one that grew on me. My degree was a BFA in wood furniture. That’s how David Knittle (he makes bonsai stands) and I became friends in the mid-80s. He got me interested in bonsai.

My favorite tree is Thuja Plicata and my favorite rapper of all time is Tupac

 

[doc spring _work]

Original username was autofilled from Google and I didn't second guess it after using "doc" for awhile I got questioned on It and misremembering which username I had been using here gave the explanation for my current one, figured since I have three or so threads of "docs" ECT I figured it should stay and just tossed in a silly nickname I use to be called for my nature to tinker

(Mistakes where possibly made in the naming department on my part )

 

[ACooke]

39 years and 9 months ago a married couple with the surname ‘Cooke’ conceived a child.
They called that child Adam.

38 years later that now-grown child joined a bonsai forum with the imaginative and novel idea of using his name as his username.

And here we are….

I am bald and one person
My best friend growing up was Mark and my name is Todd. We started early in life calling each other Fart and Turd. So, this is my sign above my work bench.

 

[WIlliam_Butler_Yeets]

mine is mostly just a pun on the name of an Irish poet and statesman, but I've used it for a number of years now in various contexts
