RE: What's in a Name? // Here is the Meaning of my Username... What's Yours?

in #dtube7 years ago

Hmm. I learned something new, @coruscate.

My username harkens back from the days of AOL. My Dad is a huge Rockets fan, so when he set up or accounts he used part of our first name and added 'rocket. So the original name was justrocket. For convenience, and because I never really thought it was important, I continued to use this name for other accounts.

But as time went on, there were other justrocket that would best me to the punch. So, wanting to use the minimal level of thought on something I didn't find that important, I just used my last name with rocket added instead.

For me, the rocket has to do with space and always has. I didn't realize that Dad meant it for sports until I was much older.
