What's the story behind your TideFans name?

[BamaDMD]

Interesting - is there a difference?

Mine's pretty obvious once you realize I work in the recording industry...

Nope. Harvard and Yale started using the DMD designation about In the 1800s where they used the Latin designation MD (Medicinae Doctoris) and added (Dentaria) to it. Other schools use DDS which stands for Doctor of Dental Surgery.

 

[Chukker Veteran]

My name comes from:

Chatt - I live in the Chattanooga, TN area

Brit - Because I am one - British - English - from the UK.

RTR

Well what about that.

I bet it was fun adjusting to the deep south.

I lost my English bulldog to old age last month (he was 12) and his name was Henry. Named for the famous King.

 

[moopuppies]

Of course I know my ID doesn't look or sound like Alabama or Crimson Tide. About 10 years or so ago when I was setting up my first on line account with Yahoo every name I tried was taken and Yahoo wanted me to add some numbers to make it work.

I didn't want to have a name with a bunch of numbers on it so I made up the word moopuppies as in baby cows. To this day I have never had to use any other name because this has always been available.

To the folks who think your name has to do with Bama on a Bama board. All I can say is class of '83 and '85. Roll Tide Roll forever!!!

 

[BigTex]

At the entrance to the Texas State Fair, there is a 60 ft tall inflatable cowboy that's called Big Tex.

 

[Bamaro]

Started as a combination of Bama & Camaro (original owner of a 70 purchased in Scottsboro). Realized later that it also can refer to Bama and my first name Roger

 

[Black Warrior]

"A River Runs Through It". Plus I've always had a great curiosity about the Chieftan whose name our
city carries.

 

[gmart74]

i designed the look of the 1974 GM oldsmobile thus:

GM art (19)74

or that could be a complete lie.

 

[CrimSonami]

In recent years, specifically the CNS era, the "Crimson Tide" has morphed into what I refer to as a "Crimson Tsunami". Therefore the combination of of the two yields "CrimSonami".



RTR!!!

 

[TIDE-HSV]

My name comes from:

Chatt - I live in the Chattanooga, TN area

Brit - Because I am one - British - English - from the UK.

RTR

Not only that, but your maiden name tells me that it comes out of the Danelaw region (just like mine), so you're, on one line at least, Scandinavian/English...

 

[TheOysterMan]

I ran a seafood restaurant for a while, so TheOysterMan was appropriate....not so much now that I run a coffee shop, but I dont feel like changing it lol

 

[IH8Orange]

*U, Uthug, Flawrida... (per recent history, add Tejas)... what color do they have in common?

 

[45longcolt]

Well my favorite pass time before Tide Fans and the Megathread was handgun practice thus 45longcolt - my favorite single action.
It all slows down with recruiting, megathread, and Age

 

[CrimsonMapper]

As a geographer, I have a fetish for maps. :eek2:

 

[KentuckianaBFan]

My name comes from:

Chatt - I live in the Chattanooga, TN area

Brit - Because I am one - British - English - from the UK.

RTR

Kentuckiana: Metro-Louisville, KY, includes part of Southern Indiana, where my wife and I retired from the USAF in '91 (also was an Army brat). Spent from May '71 to Dec '73 at RAF Alconbury, UK, about 20+ miles north of Cambridge. Beautiful country (also Wales and Scotland). Father from Tuscaloosa, mother from Greene County (I was GCHS '67). I remember the Chukker, too, as well as the original Cotton Patch, just north of Eutaw on US 11.

 

[CrimsonPride]

Tried to come up with a name that showed that I was proud to be a UA graduate (class of '83) and BAMA fan. My name is a cross between Crimson Tide and Tide Pride.

 

[J.E.B. Stuart]

Me also. Like reading about the War of Northern Aggression and chose General Stuart over Stonewall Jackson for ease of typing it in. I had another user name, but if you have been on this board from the beginning, way way back like 1999 or 2000 somewhere along there if I remember right, there was a major board melt down and we all had to re register and start over again. I changed from an old user name when I re registered and started with this JEB Stuart handle.

 

[Bamaboda1]

Bama - obvious

Boda - first letters of my name, BOb DAffin

1- because I screwed up my original registration and couldn't correct it...so added 1 (see JEB's comment above re:meltdown)

 

[ART]

LOVE THIS THREAD!!!!!!!!

My initails (minus my maiden name)....but I tell all my friends it stands for "Alabama Roll Tide". Most people think I'm an artist, but the truth is there's not a creative bone in me.

Hey ALA2262, my 15 year old uses 2262 for his cell code. I asked him what that was for, he just rolled his eyes and said "Mom, I thought you were a Bama fan". I was in shock. lol

 

[Bama Reb]

I was born in Alabama, as were both my parents, and my mother was a UA grad. My parents took me up north when I was young and tried to raise me as a yankee. It didn't take. When I was old enough to make my own choices in life, I came home to stay.
I've always detested punching someone else's time clock and doing what everyone else does for the sake of conformity. I chose instead to make my own way in life and to live it the way I choose. Even growing up I was always sort of a rebel, and that continues today. Hence, Bama Reb.

 

[CSA4Ever]

Coming from an old Southron family (Clarke Co., AL) from which many served, and some died, in the War of Northern Aggression, I feel it is proper to honour their memory and continually respect my heritage.

BOOMER SOONER - ROLL TIDE, ROLL
