I've been using mine since around 1992/3 when I first started using bulletin boards before the Internet, wanted a name that wasn't gender specific.

It's what my daughter Cathryn called herself before she could talk properly.

Mine's from an ancient Swahili tribe. 'Ma' is a rubbery-like material native to the area, and a 'Ttuk' is a chicken.

I first started using Oreo, named after a new kitten we had in our house at university, back in 1991. That was the first time I logged onto a computer BBS (look it up if you need to ) that required an alias. I added the Don later on.

Speaking of user names, this is the only forum I have been on where people refer to each other by real names rather than their user names in all that time. It throws me off and makes it hard to follow what is going on.

Ummm, isn't FF larger than DD

Mines a shorthen version of "up to the stars", I used to be in the RAF and the motto was "Through Adversity to the Stars", which I altered to suit as most sites down like long names.
