Without using pronouns (me, he, she, it, etc) or articles (a, an, the), how did you come up with your user name?

Essentially, I want us to sound like cavemen.

I'll start:

HomesliceAbe was playing Mario kart and HomesliceAbe's dad couldn't think of name of one of courses (HomesliceAbe thinks name was "Moonview Highway?). HomesliceAbe's dad called course "Homeslice Highway" and HomesliceAbe thought new name was hilarious. Also, HomesliceAbe is big fan of Abraham Lincoln.

  • Looked at birth name. Took first letters. Added trademark - distinguishes from others because original. Became EccTM.

    shakes fist at random dubai toastmaster group on birdsite for using EccTM too

  • U not name. U is sound.

    Since person was learning Vietnamese, person noticed Vietnamese have one letter words. One word person liked was Ô, umbrella. Saying Ô reminded person of monkey making sound.

    Person thought about simplest sounds monkeys make. U in person mother language sounds oo. U is simple, basic monkey sound. Oo-oo, aa-aa. Person being monkey, person thought U good name. Reminded person of person's past and person connection to nature. So person decided to be U.

    U then thought of past people. Past people were simply known as person OF place person came. Examples: Leonardo DA (of) Vinci, René DES (of) Cartes. U is from Recife. Thus U de (of) Recife.
