I'm curious as to what each OKPer's handle means if anything. Mine is a nod to the beats I'd love to create and "dame" is from the fact that I'm a female.

^^ my favorite song of all time.

Because of course, he was my favorite trumpet player, and I too played trumpet all the way up through college.

But that's not what this is about. My handle is my gubment,...the "Soul" Part is a play on my rappity rap handle from waaaay back when

RaSlee...S for da Soul
or
RaphdaSoul
or
RadaSoul
or
simply "Soul"...summa folks call me

Interestingly enough..my first handle here was RaSaadiq

i like the name Miles for a boy. if i had one that name is on my list.

as well as a tattoo.

My uncles all had daughters and no sons. My father had 3 girls. He thought he was never going to have a son either. Then almost 10 years later after my last sister was born, I was unexpectedly conceived when my father was 42 and my mother 40. So my father decided to include all his brothers in my name.

L ovette
A lonzo
C lifford
H enry

Pronounced as Latch.

And I thought that name was funny.

So it became my nom de plume.

As much as people here accuse other people of having "aliases", my screen name is not in reference to not having an "alias" account.

I've been using the stage name "N/A (No Alias)" for 12 years now. At the time when I first switched my moniker (I was previously going by "Frush", short for "Frushtrated") I was tired of the name and being associated with frustration, and I didn't want to come up with another name that would be limiting to what I represent musically. I had liked the idea of being listed as "N/A" as an artist/producer name, and making it stand for No Alias, and that's what I've rolled with since then.

Nowadays, for Google and name recognition purposes (googling "N/A" brings up a bunch of results that aren't referring to me) and also because there is another beatmaker out there named No Alias, I'm straying away from that name and plan to go with something more distinctive. When I resurface with new music, I plan on going by Naj Ahead (the initials are still N/A...I don't want people who are familiar with my music to be too thrown off with the name change.) As a person who enjoys playing with words, I like the name and what it means.

A story that involves....lemme see....*rubs chin*....

For all Rastafari, Haile Selassie I is God manifest in flesh.

I was playing with aliases around the time I was doing a funk/glam rock project back in the 90s. I lost my original login on here after a long break. So, I decided to reach back and use this.

It's been my "handle" since multi-line chat boards in the late 80's.

Renebug was my first handle

Rene is my middle name and I had a VW beetle at that time.

i was 18 when i made it so my username is trash but i worked hard for those 1.5k posts so i never changed it

When I became a moderator, I changed it to shockzilla as shockaliciousOK seemed a bit much even for me.

shockzilla has been described by me as a tribute to digital underground's humpty hump, combining 'shock g' and 'bootzilla' (the character of humpty hump being a tribute to bootsy collins)

but mostly i just thought it sounded cool.

what's not to like?

I like the OKP version of T-rey tho. Shit is catchy

middle name is Leigh (lee) last initial is B

jellybean :-)

that became my main account

and I saw the username Anonymous_Coward

scrolled through and everybody had the same handle, looked like the internet arguing with itself

I was one of the few Black nonbelievers and this name is variation on that fact.

I was originally Angela In Detroit but that got lost in the big switch :( I coulda been a charter.

I liked the line...it stuck.

my dad was called Legs because he walks with a limp from getting his leg crushed in the steel mill.

he called me legs diamond since birth... still does.

no one else but a few close friends call me that and I never appreciate it.

Don't ask me how out of that, I got my screen name because I have zero clue what I was thinking.

my friend that took the class with me didn't really grow up around jewish people. he would jokingly refer to anything mildly jewish as "kosher" the same way that suburban white kids refer to anything mildly black as "ghetto"

In the class, we were learning about Duke Ellington's band, and he had a trombone player named Joe "Tricky Sam" Nanton. We asked how come he was called Tricky Sam if his name was Joe. Professor said "well.... he was pretty damn tricky!"

Extending that logic, my friend started calling me KosherSam, and I kinda ran with it.

Tiggerific = huge fan of Tigger and I'm terrific 😎.

resonated with me and i started using it when i became active in the online community.

Your post and the sig are comical together...lol

They call me that because I wear a size 13 in shoes. The Rose comes from the rap crew I was a part of The Rose Family (a late incarnation of Population Click).

Buddy of mine's sister and her roommate were at a parade still drunk from the night before. Sister's roommate was wearing a skirt and sitting on the curb and across the street was a little kid dressed like Batman. Friend's sister says to the girl, "Hey.... Batman can see your nish." That story cracked the fuck outta me, so I stole the word when I was naming a ska band I tried to start in college, named "Captain Nish and the Piney All Stars." I was the frontman and was gonna go by "Capt. Nish."

Hence, CaptNish....

Kilo is kinda similar to my first name.

so it's a name I've used in various iterations. when I first started posting Quest and some others thought maybe I was J Rocc from the Beatjunkies. I'm a fan, but honestly not what I was going for though.

B my first initial
Nice- Im a nice guy and it rhymes
DH - greatest city in the world...DISTRICT HEIGHTS

I think I called myself "the mystic mic majestic" or something wild like that in a rhyme. So it came from that.

+ my birth year and blamo!!!

Black Bobby Hill....and that is a direct quote from an OKP when they met me in person.

..back in university...i was into a lot of mysticism at the time i signed up here...the number seven just seemed to be a recurrent theme in my life back then
