    My real name is Lee.

    Its a combo of Mr Lee by The Bobbettes and Dr Lee PHD by The Beasties.

    C'est tout.

    Huh. Given his Bruce Lee fandom and academic experience, I always just assumed you were an ODub alias.

    lol, i am officially Dr. Lee Ph.D. that seems redundant tho.

    my name is just my first name with ulus at the end. sounds cool, my opinion anyways.

    kvh was a former sixer who i couldn't stand. no real reason behind the name at all except to humor myself at the time.

    Haha, I was wondering about this. I remember him from his time as a Net and I couldn't stand him either. He always looked like he was going to fall asleep during a game.

    I'm from New Zealand. I spent a good part of my life travelling. A friend referred to me as a shadow and it stuck. It made sense at the time.

    isn't it funny how most usernames or emails you set up in haste tend to end up being like drunken tattoos a few years down the line?


    [not that nzshadow is a bad username by any means, just the comment 'it made sense at the time'.]

    Originally, I was DJ Ferrari... sounds stupid, but Ferrari is my mom's maiden name. She's a musician and her stage name is Red Ferrari so I kept the tradition until I was tired of people confusing me for a dbag techno DJ.

    Forty Fivan is because I like 45s and my first name is Ivan... fairly straightforward there.

    In my youth
    I sang in a professional choir called the Petit-Chanteurs du Mont-Royal (PCMR)

    i'll let you figure out my ebay handle...

    Been with me since I was able to talk and till now. People always would say, "Yo Age"(in the states) or "Adj"(when living abroad, the splet it differently). People are lazy and did not want to say my full name, which is "Adrian".

    So in short, it's my name...literally

    My name came out of "Earth People" by Dr. Octagon. I used to play the 12" remix over and over around the first time I discovered Soul Strut which is also when I made the transition from calling myself DJ Cosmic Cuts (cringe) to Cosmophonic.

    This is the only place that name has stuck. I still like it.

    I named myself after Dennis Hopper's character in Blue Velvet.

    My username is my DJ name, obviously.

    People think I got the name "Enki" from the book Snow Crash, which I've never read. Some people think my name is a misspelling of Enkei, a company that makes wheels, rims, and the kind of crap you'd see on a car in The Fast and the Furious. Nope. I got the name from the Sumerian god.

  • motown67motown67 4,513 Posts
    When I had think of my first email address there was a Temptations record playing in the background so I picked Motown. That alone was already taken so I tried using the year I was born afterward. That was taken as well so I just went down in numbers until I got Motown67

    mine is actually pretty dumb. in my previous life as a jock, i would only wear number 6, superstition n' that. my first dj gig, i went by the roman numeral.... VI, which got little to no attention, so it got lengthened to 'vintageinfants' to show my love of juxtaposition (ha!).

    in the sparse dj gigs since then, ive never used the same name twice, for no other reason that i liked coming up with dj names.

    other monikers included phallic baldwin, girth brooks, flirt reynolds, keffah sutherland, dj tanner, etc. etc. etc....

    someone sent me a list a while back of other names used by yrs truly:

    Trilly wonka
    David cop-a-feel
    Jude Lawrys
    Vaseline dion
    Jean claude trans am
    Floss gellar
    Gnarly sheen

    Not worth the risk, if you ask me.

  • The-gafflerThe-gaffler 2,190 Posts
    my roommate from the bay and noz called this friend of mine who used to boost, 'gaffler'

    booster friend moved away and i believe one night i stole either an alcoholic or food item from somewhere and one of them was on-hand.

    so the name stuck with me.

  • dollar_bindollar_bin I heartily endorse this product and/or event 2,326 Posts
    I doubt I have to explain my user name to the denizens of this board. But as background, it's the name of my radio show on KZSU from 1999 to 2005. Early in my digging career, I didn't want to commit to spending money on vinyl, so I exclusively bought dollar records. That conviction didn't last very long.

  • after a recent attack on Kool Breez's hair choices I thought it was topical. I think Breez's dreads would like to ban soulone as well.
