Curious about some PB "handles".....

[etexas]

OK, some of our PB "handles" are self evident, I live in Texas....if you go East. I live in an area in East Texas...hence...etexas. Now, some of you guys have something more obscure (or else I am very unimaginative) that you use as you handles here. Our good Mod. me died blue......I had to send him a PM...(it is a song) I never would have figured it out! So...for those who wish....share what your PB handle comes from or means.

 

[RamistThomist]

Mine is from Beowulf

 

[PuritanCovenanter]

I have been reading the Puritans since I was saved. And I was taught and brought under a Covenanter Ministry in Indianapolis for a few years. In which I got some of the best instruction and care theologically I had ever received outside of my Reformed Baptist Pastor Joe Gwynn. So PuritanCovenanter is my name.

 

[etexas]

Sorry, Max. Next time I'll try to be a bit more forth right with my user name.

Josh...yours ALWAYS confused me!

 

[Guido's Brother]

Theologically, I am a brother of Guido de Bres, the author of the Belgic Confession. (Of course, come to think of it, I could also be considered his son...)

[Pilgrim's Progeny]

Mine has recently changed and it has multiple meanings, yet, it is primarily in honor of all the faithful upon whose shoulders I stand and gaze as I make my journey to the celestial city.

 

[LadyFlynt]

I didn't want to use my real last name. I used my maiden name which is also a type of rock and they were a family of protectors/defenders. I'm also a Jane Austen fan and my heroine would be Lady Jane Grey Dudley.

There.

A few months ago I was working my way through Galatians 4 in the Greek when I ran across your PB name in verse 5. I had not made the connection before then. Sometimes I'm slow on the uptake.

Of course, my PB name is aviation alphabet for the initials I go by.

Whew! I was afraid that you might be related to a certain hit man in Chicago. Last month I hired him to break a few kneecaps for me (all Arminian of course!).

 

[caddy]

I caddied my way through Nursing school years ago. I started using the "handle" in the early to mid 90s. It's stuck. Once a caddy always a caddy!

 

[BobVigneault]

I chose Bob Vigneault because my real name, Charles Finney, was causing too much confusion on the board.

 

[Megaloo]

Hmmmm...(view picture), let me think about it.


My name is Meghan. People called me Megaloo at my last home. I also like the name MegalooBob, but I didn't want people to get the wrong idea. I am not that hick.

 

[Dr Mike Kear]

I chose Bob Vigneault because my real name, Charles Finney, was causing too much confusion on the board.

Mine's the first three letters of my first name...first three letters of my last name, if i wasnt' obvious enough.

Chuckle....well......sadly I probably would have needed to think about it.

Ok Mike.....what does yours mean?????

 

[Dr Mike Kear]

Dr = theological hack

Mike = a device used to amplify the human voice

Kear = A Scottish word meaning "swamp dweller"

Thus, vociferously dank theological mediocrity

But I thought your real name was Turd Ferguson....
