    What prompted your name?

    I've always wanted to know how you guys came up with your names. Whats the story behind that name?

    Since I started this, I'll be the first! The "ob" part is easy since those are my initials (Omar Beltran). I choose "driver" cause the first game I played was Need for speed: HS, which IMO is the best racing game on the Playstation. Anyway, since I could input my own name, I decide with "driver", cause it was a racing game :P, instead of PLAYER 1. The "6" came from when I was back in 3rd grade. The teacher assigned each of us with a # and I got stuck with 6 which somehow became my favorite #. lol Over time, as I played more game, I don't know if I got creative or just lazy but I ended up with "obdriver6". lol

    So whats your story?

    Re: What prompted your name?

    In Spanish (and in my region) buzo can mean something like smart or intelligent. Of course it doesn't apply to me very much, but I selected buzo caperuzo as my nickname just to hide my real name when I subscribed myself to the first forum in internet, I guess in the Y2K, and I use it to date!

    Re: What prompted your name?

    In high school I was a huge Rush fan. It was during that time when I discovered Bulletin Board Systems (some of you might remember those) and used Cygnus X-1 as a handle. It continues to this day.

    Re: What prompted your name?

    a long long long long time ago, in the new magic land...






























    of the world wide web
















    I started a yahoo ID to spy on my now ex in chat rooms which she frequented for hours on end... roodoo1 was taken already. My granddad used to call me rooster dooster when i was a little, I had a cow lick ginger head.




    Probably not such a noble beginning for a sn, however is humble.

    Re: What prompted your name?

    In high school I took cooking class and one of the girls would always do the cooking and they would not let me cook so I never cleaned the pots and pans good so she called me Messy Jesse. Later in high school my favorite band was bone thugs n harmony and they all had names like kraizie bone, wish bone, flesh bone, bizzy bone, layzie bone. I called my self Messy Bone. Now i just put my nick name and just honda for my cars that i have owned(all hondas 4gees)

    Re: What prompted your name?

    I got my name in high school where someone just called me Conozo. Everybody typically called me by my last name Kaufman, but Conozo came out that time for some reason. The name stuck but there were lots of variations that people used. I think every one of my friends had their own variation or Conozo. Some were ozonoc, nozzle, noze, noz. I've always like it so I've used it as my business name because it's unique although nobody ever spells or says it right, lol

    Oh weird. I worked at a bike shop through high school and college too. AND I also had a knack for working on the cheap department store bikes. They would save the worst ones for me because nobody else had the patience.

    You may not know this, but Geddy Lee's first name was actually Gary. His mother had a thick Yiddish accent and when she would say Gary it sounded like Geddy.

    Re: What prompted your name?

    The ecogabriel thing came from when I first set up an e-mail account.
    Since some of my friends had used a combination of profession and name, eco stands for economist and the rest is my first name.
    If it ain't broke... I fix it!
