Mine is just my initials plus the age when I was when I first registered at BW - I was a lapsed member/lurker until just before it went down. Kept the same username here.

In Bonanza, I hate all women, except the boy´s mothers! So, When I thought of Maria I wanted to make a tribute to Little Joe's mother, whose name is Maria in French.
Besides, I wanted a name that everyone could identify myself as a person from Brazil. At first it did not work, because that name is also very common in Mexico and elsewhere in South America, then, everyone believed that I speak Spanish, and I don´t ... but now, I feel that everyone knows where I am from. :yes
As Maria is a very common name, it was necessary that my Maria had a surname!
So I put the surname Vaz, that was one of my last names when I was single. :shrug

Mine is from my nickname.

My real name is Julia but I get called Jules, more so from friends at work than from my family. When I first tried to register on a website with the user name Jules it was already taken so I used BeJules instead and it's stuck ever since.

Mine is very simple, I live in Devon.

I would've used shakeybird (that's another story) like my YouTube name but I was in a lazy mood and couldn't be arsed to type the extra letters. :-)

I got the idea for mine in a video game. Some of the characters have other selves. To get the other selves names, they just added an x then mixed up the letters. Mine:
Katiex=Takixe
Then I added a random number.

Mine is fairly simple ;) bonanza spelled backwards. I was in a phase of spelling things backwards, just for the heck of it back when I joined bw's library, way before I joined the forums... so I found my way here I used it again so that people would know who i was and because I am much too lazy to come up with another username. So it is now my bonanza related website username. Sites outside of bz have different usernames though.

Mine speaks for itself. Not too original, I just wanted to hurry and register and I have always loved Adam, hence Adamlover. It is interesting to read these.

This is a nice thread.
Sunrider is the English word for the German word Sonnenreiter which is a symbol of the German Islandic Horse Association.
:lol ... and of cause I like to ride in the sun.
