Going around Fannation these past few months, I have seen some funny names. So, that made me want to know: Why did we choose the names we chose? Well, since I am asking the question allow me to be the first to answer.
When I joined Fannation 6 months ago, I chose the profile name of E.J. E.J. are my first and middle initials and I thought, that was easy enough. After it took me a month to realize that I can add photos to my profile, I chose to use a photo of Dwight Yorke (A Soccer Player for those who do not know) as my avatar. That was cool enough, until one day while looking at some pictures in an old Source Magazine I saw the God M.C. Jay-Z rocking a Jet jersey at a concert. You must know two things about me: I'm a big Jet fan, and I have been down with Jigga Man since I first heard Dead Presidents (the original version and not the one that is on Reasonable Doubt) on a bootleg tape that a friend made for me when I was a Freshman in High School back in 1995.
After seeing that picture, I found it on-line and made that my new avatar and added the J.HOVA to the profile name to create J.HOVA A.K.A. EJ.
So, that's my story to how I came to be. Now, let me hear yours.

Patrick Kerney is on my avator because 1. he is awesome 2. he is one of my favorite players on my favorite team .... Go 'Hawks.

I was trying to change my name to Young City Bandit, in part reference to Nas, The World is Yours, and also because of Youngstown, the Young City. But Fannation won't let me.

I chose mine because my first name is Tracy and 21 is the most goals scored in a season, 4 is my jersey number. I had to add the 00 at the beginning because tracy21 was taken on another site I'm on so I just kept it the same here. My avatar is me until I get tired of that pic and/or find something I really like..;)

I lived in Los Angeles and worked in Beverly Hills. I seemed to have acquired somewhat of a Hollywood "Flava" by way of a pair of Cazals. For the hip impaired, Cazals are eyeglasses. My boss came up with Hollywood maybe 15 years ago and it stuck.

It used to be pecotafreak because I am a big fan of PECOTA projections made my Baseball Prospectus. Now everyone calls me pecota, so it's been changed. I usually put a song I'm listening to or movie I'm watchin at the end.
Right now, it's Fight Club!
