Nicknames

[trooper]

Right, We`ve had avatars and we`ve had sigs. What was the reason for choosing your particular nickname, What relevance does it have and does it have any significance in real life (what ever that is ) , ie outside these board.

To start things off, Mine "Trooper" stems from about 20 years. A few mates took the piss out of the way i walked (great mates eh!) and said i marched like a soldier or a trooper :blink: . Anyway the name stuck, And the rest as they say... is history.

Trooper

 

[bringoutthegimp]

mine is inspired by the bad ass gimp out of pulp fiction. i used it as my email address first then just started using it around the boards / web sites / starcraft. i had various shitty online "aliases" before i settled on this one. its also good because its kind of original so there is almost never the same name used on a site where i sign up.

 

[finty]

My nickname in real life is finty, because alot of people pronounce my name wrong (Fionntan), and when I was 10 I set up an email, but finty was taken, so I used finty101, and I have used it ever since.

 

[PinkSpider]

PinkSpider - A song by a guy named hide... erm I like the colour pink and have pink hair

*logs out once more*

 

[mattmagoo]

my dad called me magoo when I was a baby coz i walked into things (ala Mr. Magoo)

I stuck my name at the front and its been like that ever since (I have yet to encounter another mattmagoo)

 

[Phil]

..........you can guess..........

but my fav alt is MSlug, because i do love metal slug.

 

[Dozer]

Dozer thanks to a sleeping condition I had as a kid ^^. No it's not from the guy from the Matrix, although I used to have him as my avatar... I had my nick before his!

 

[diablo2]

umm
i used to like diablo2

 

[Jeffery Mewtamer]

Jeffery is my first name.
I used to be a Pokemon Fanatic(still like the games though), and Mew was my favorite Pokemon. With Mew's great power it seemed a Pokemon that one would have to tame before they could possibly train it for battle. In a fanfiction I wrote(but never posted on the web) Mewtamer was the name I gave to an ancient warrior who was the first human to ever tame a Mew. My character in this fanfic was the heir of this ancient warrior and gained the title of Mewtamer. I've used the title as my web alias ever since.

P.s. I use this name everywhere. Except when spaces aren't allowed in usernames in which case I just use Mewtamer.

 

[Twimfy]

My name in the 'real' world is Timothy (prefer Tim). I once told a girlfriend of mine that my little cousin couldn't pronounce my name properly and she used to call me Timfy, for some bizarre reason my friend stared using it all the time but put a 'w' in there for some reason, it never stuck as a nickname but I found it useful for registering with hotmail and I have used it for everything ever since...if you ever see a Twimfy anywhere else on the net, it will be me.

 

[woogal]

My online nick is actually my dogs nickname (his real name is dougal)
My real life nickname is Wardy (surname is Ward, and school kids have no imagination), but there are far too many Wardy's in the world so I never use it online.

 

[Aaaaaaaa]

my nick involves 328 and a half bottles of fizzy ribena, and a impotent leper

 

[Endurion]

Hmm, I just made up a nick at a LAN. trying to find a word that I thought would sound nice and that hopefully nobody else had.


Endurion I thought sound almost like "endurable" or "endurer"... (don´t know if I´m spelling right...) ....so thats how Endurion was born....

 

[Rico]

My real name - h + o.

Simple as that.

 

[sebastian_insua]

Basically because I am an idiot who uses hs real name as a username.

This is because it is my ISP username, and as I go onto so many sites/forum I didn't want to have to use a billion different user names.

When I signed up for this iste I also didn't think I would use the site that much so didn't think of using one of my other usernames such as BlackIce...

:blink:

 

[triksR4rabits]

Me and my boys were freestyling and I said the line "tricks are for rabbits" and everyone went crazy. That was like 2 years ago and ever then my names been Triks

 

[Dante]

my friend once called it me while i was wearing my leather trenchcoat and when i was thinking of a name i saw my dmc on the shelf and just used that

 

[pubjoe]

It's kind of short for joe public/public joe. And I'm always down the pub (Actually, not as much as I'd like anymore). It's also never used by anyone else as a username, so I always use it.

I'm (slowly) starting a company called public design and I thought joe@publicdesign was cool for my email.

'pubjoe' is the l337 version h34r: !

 

[thebluenewt]

Because blue amphibians are just cool.

 

[rcx21000]

Becuase the first board I signed up on was a lego mindstorms board. And the main programmable brick was called an RCX. Of course, RCX was already taken, so I added a big fat number to the end And I've used this for almost everything I do.

BUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, no one in the world has a bigger number after their nick h34r:
