Origins of your net name and title.

[SimonDoom]

I thought you liked Simon Says and the first-person shooter game Doom. Silly me, looking for meaning where no meaning exists.

I do like Doom! Or I did 25 years ago. But it had nothing to do with my name.

I didn't mention my title: Aspiring Kinklord. That one's kind of self-explanatory, I think.

 

[friendlyoldman]

Mine suited me much better when I first joined 10 years ago. But I still feel bright and shiny even though I’m a middle-aged mom now.

The feeling is more important than the actual age. So don't change your name

 

[GlennJenko]

Mine is a mix of my two main online monikers because I wanted to separate what I do here from what I do/write elsewhere given this is quite different. But at the same time I still wanted it to feel like me, hence why I didn't pick something else entirely. That and I'm not that creative with names.

As for the title, I didn't know what to put but knew I didn't like "Virgin" so just put the most basic writing thing possible. If I ever get around to publishing my stories and get some "interesting" nicknames as feedback I may change it to whatever that will be as a self-depracating joke, or something random if I think of anything.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

[joy_of_cooking]

I do quite like cooking and I had a copy of the book (the 75th anniversary edition from my profile picture) in my line of sight when I registered the account.

An unexpected consequence: cooking apparently reads as feminine enough that I've had a few DMs from people who, ah, wanted a more personal sort of conversation. So far they've all taken no for an answer, which I understand is not always the case. I guess on the internet, nobody knows you're a man?

I've been curious about yours for a while! I actually have a fellow Lit friend who keeps referring to you as a female. I told them that I was fairly certain you were a male, but they just continued calling you by female pronouns.

Lol maybe I'll direct them to this post

 

[gunhilltrain]

ah, so you did the same thing as that other guy that used to write here, emtwentyfiveinterchange

Hey, just as good as anything else. Obviously a highway, I'd say. Did he say where it was? It you want to go by a wider view (although in 1938), I'd be here:

[EmilyMiller]

Origins of your net name and title​

Emily is the name I go by. It’s my middle name. Miller isn’t my real surname. It’s a name in my family a few generations back. The combination ends up being close enough to me, but not so close that it links to other social media, or public records (e.g. PubMed).

My title? It’s the bastard child of Poe and Spooner.

Em

 

[Bodington]

I chose Bodington as it was my favorite beer to imbibe when I first joined Literotica. Since then, Bodington is no longer stocked on the shelves of the supermarket where I purchase my adult beverages. Besides my daughter chides me mercilessly whenever I buy beer; something to do with beer not good for my health. So, I have changed my drinking habits to hard liquor either vodka, gin or Johnny Walker Black.

 

[oneagainst]

I wanted a self-effacing nickname in case I sucked. It turned out I didn’t (mostly), but it’s turned out to be useful in another way: the least creative trolls that want to throw insults will start with my name, which makes them easy to ignore.

Loving Wives SME (Subject Matter Expert) because I write there most often and have put a lot of thought into the audience, the category’s evolution over time, scoring, factions, etc.

Ah shit. SME = Small/Medium Enterprise in my vernacular. I'd always seen your tagline and secretly amused myself with the thought of a Cheating Wife cottage industry startup. I guess I won't ask if you're looking for seed capital then.

I never knew what SME stood for. My brain would always try to translate it onto "Shake-My-Ehhhh...." as my subconscious desperately tried to make it "smh"

 

[LoneMilf]

I use LoneMilf across adult platforms and originally coined it for an online sex game a long time ago.

Lone is my real life name - and yes, that does confuse a lot of native English speakers I've even had some that refused to believe it's an actual name..

When people ask about the MILF part, I usually tell them: "The M is a fact, the rest depends on who I'm talking to"
I chose it to indicate some maturity but also a playfulness - an interest in all things sexual.

As for my 'title' - I consider it a warning label

 

[stickygirl]

I'm open to suggestions about where my name came from and what it conjures in people's minds.
The title is a quote from Emma Watson and you can google for the long version.

 

[AchtungNight]

I have had multiple mentors act brutally honest and call themselves out for it. I’ve always appreciated them more than anyone who has been otherwise. And they usually have had hidden depths too. In good and bad ways. I’ll leave it at that.

[MelissaBaby]

And here I was thinking that you were alluding to "Electra Glide in Blue" and "Route 66." (I was at H-D in Milwaukee some years ago, and they had a 1966 Electra Glide - it was in blue - for sale. Damn near bought it.)

I had thought it was a David Bowie reference, he uses the phrase in his song Sound and Vision.

 

[lovecraft68]

I was writing just for fun and for my wife and she had found Literotica and enjoyed reading here. She told me I should try my hand here and I didn't agree. I remember her saying "Come on, you should see some of the crap on there, you'll be fine."

She ended up creating this handle for me. Simple enough I'm a huge HPL fan and she added my birth year because she thinks she's funny. She created it in 2009 and when I still didn't post anything, she told me I had a month or she was going to pick one of my stories and post it for me, so in May 2010 I put up my first story.

As for title, I used to have Bad Doggie on there for a long time, and I forget why but I took it out, and then when I went to replace it for some reason I couldn't so I've just left it with the guru default.

 

[MelissaBaby]

When I first joined Lit as a reader I was unconcerned with my moniker and came up with Robroy1968 based on my name and birth year and a movie I'd recently watched.

As I began writing I decided that my screen name didn't feel very memorable, or authorly, so I modified it a bit. But not so much that people wouldn't connect the two naturally.

As for my title, if you know Pulp Fiction, you know it just works. And I've been known to be a bit chessy at times.

So, you changed your name because of the metric system?

 

[luv2custrip]

I’d love to see you strip. Well— some of you.

 

[lavendersilk]

Mine suited me much better when I first joined 10 years ago. But I still feel bright and shiny even though I’m a middle-aged mom now.

Love your avatar. My favorite actress.

 

[lavendersilk]

I picked a pastel color and a style of bedsheet. Not my favorite color or style of bedding, but it sounds better than greenlinen.

If it was how my best friend growing up father would say it you should have spelled it "Yow-za!" he made it into two syllables

 

[MajorRewrite]

When people ask about the MILF part, I usually tell them: "The M is a fact, the rest depends on who I'm talking to"
I chose it to indicate some maturity but also a playfulness - an interest in all things sexual.

Yesterday I saw a bumper sticker that said “MILFin’ ain’t easy”.

I didn’t know there were MILFs who were loud and proud, but I’m all for it. Unfortunately I didn’t get a chance to see if she deserves the title of MILF. Nobody likes a MILF wannabe.

 

[Dearelliot]

I have an odd first name that was my mother's maiden name. somehow the birth cert got screwed up and my original first name was left off leaving me to go through life with the odd first name that resembles Elliot. In High School, Teachers reading quickly mistakenly called me Elliot so I kept and use the name for my hidden sex life.

 

[FifthEstate]

The Fifth Estate is a reference to people who operate in the manner of journalists outside the normal constraints imposed on the mainstream media. While I don’t necessarily consider myself a journalist, I figured there was no more constraintless platform on which I could write than Literotica. As for my avatar, it’s obviously unrelated to my handle, but I saw the image on a tee-shirt when I was a perverted teenager, and as a lifelong perverted Californian, I always wanted to use it somewhere.
