Why did you choose your nickname?

Nicknames intrigue me. Recent ones I have noticed include nappychin, xxxlanzanoxxx and redryder.

redryder is probably from Red Ryder, the comic character. then again maybe not.

I'll start off with mine. "bigbazza", 'coz my name is Barry (doh), I'm 1.96 metres tall (6'5" in the old currency) and used to be 115 kilos (or 250 lbs approx). I'm down to 95 kilos (or 210 pounds approx), so maybe I should be notsobigbazza.

Like to hear your reasons why. Bazza

 

Good thread topic, Bazza.:cool
'musk' = Muskegon, my town
'snipe' = a term for engineroom personnel. It comes from my old sailor days,.

 

BILLMCC66 is obviously the first part of my name 66 is my house number and Bionic Belgian is because i have almost 2 kilos of metal in my neck and back

Interesting 3 replies, so far. Keep it going guys and gals. :cool Bazza

 

I choose mine because I think it reflects my personality. Diamonds are precious and feminine but also tough and strong! Everybody loves a diamond LOL

 

Just read the intro on my blog http://levlish.blogspot.com/

 

I had to stop and think which screen name I'm using here.

Sgt. Tibbs was my cat, who died seven years ago. On other boards, I use Felix4067, which is his still-living twin brother's name combined with my house number. Felix is my original name, but I was trying to be stealthy a number of years ago and get into a board to see what they were up to in regards to the one I moderate, so I used my other cat's name. It stuck.

 

picture is all I need to explain

I've always liked my own name, I never saw a reason for another nickname.

 

I liked the cartoon. Plus my RL nick is augie.

 

Magnificent tat, Burning_Monkey.:major :cool :cool Bazza

 

I am a star wars geek.....but never stopped wondering why more people never called darth Mister Vader so as not to upset him.

 

Well im a long time member of the boy scouts, an Eagle Scout at that. Always really enjoyed camping and such, and coleman makes camping gear. I also happen to be a guy, finishing out the last part of the name.

 

Well, cause sometimes I get curious about the computer, and start tinkering with it, then I come here for you guys to help me fix it, lol. Hence, my nickname, Oooops!

 

Well, I was out in the sun one day.....

 

What part of the anatomy is your tattoo on may I ask?

 

As for my nickname, just ask my wife.............

 

Fred is my dog's name. I started calling him Fred G. Dog for some crazy reason. Now I use it as an online alias if I need a name. Get all kinds of stuff addressed to the mutt. The best one was a Visa application to Fred G. Dog...

Oh well, got Fred_G for another forum and decided to keep on using it so I don't forget my screen name...

E

 

I'm 60 years old and grumpy as all hell and no one listens to a word I say anyway, so I say and do what I want (as long as it's legal) and that is where my moniker comes from. Besides Fred was taken at the time and still is. I used to be Aloner but my exwife took that name and added ex to the end and I didn't want there to be any way to connect me to her.

I would offer cookies for whoever names the writer and the poem, but I know you are all fluent in google, so there's really no challenge in that.

 

Well...... when I came back around and wanted to get back in to the board again, i wanted something new and not related to my old self in any way, and since this is still what I do for a living (well... the full time job anyways) I fgured what the heck... I also wasn't feeling overly creative at the time.

sd are my initials and its always 420 at my house

 

Just my name and birth date (partly) I do use ladyblues1029 on other sites for my interest in blues music.

 

LMAO!! Amen brother!!

Judas Priest - Evil Fantasies

The reason I chose it I won't go too far into.
At the time I needed to move away from where I was mentally in life.
And I knew it would rub a few people the wrong way. Which it did http://smiley.onegreatguy.net/devil2.gif so I'm happy.

 

Natakel is the name of a protagonist in a novel I started to write years ago . . . I never finished it, though I do plug away at it when I get bored or inspiration hits me.

Hey, Mims - I knew what it meant without looking . . . do I get at least half a cookie?

 

goran.p-is for Goran Petkovic.

 

The movie Jaberwokey started with that poem, does that count?

As to my screen name, uhhh, mmmm.

 

N5638J is my longest running user name i have used. I started using it back in 01? because i was helping a friend start a flight simulator 98 clan called SCA "South central Airlines" and i used it as a Tail Number and at the time i had no idea it was used on a real aircraft until Kodo brought it up asking if was the pilot of the aircraft that had the same Number and crashed back in 03 (he was trying to make a joke at me at the time but i got him back) lol.

Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.

"Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!"

He took his vorpal sword in hand:
Long time the manxome foe he sought—
So rested he by the Tumtum tree,
And stood awhile in thought.

And, as in uffish thought he stood,
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
And burbled as it came!

One, two! One, two! And through and through
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
He went galumphing back.

"And hast thou slain the Jabberwock?
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!"
He chortled in his joy.

'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.

I'm surprised at how many people use the hours number in their name! I wonder why you do that? I might consider putting in the year I was born, but the house number has very little meaning to me. Is that because I live in a flat and don't have my own house?

 

shane email rolleyes

old email addy, wasn't planning on sticking around.
If I'd known that I would still be here now, I may have tried a bit harder.

 

ok im sure you all know what my name means :crap:crap
:major:major:major

 

I thought I would throw in my 2 cents but the Bill's beat me to it!!!
Off with their heads. LOL

 

Thanks, I appreciate it

It's my entire back. I think I have a better shot around that shows close to how big it is.

 

Mine comes from my forum RPG days. I needed a name I didn't have to keep changing if I needed to change origins. Triaxx doesn't sound too silly if the character is in Japan, or too silly in a more european setting.

As for the two, that's because I was registering for something (Bugger me if I can remember what it was.), and someone else had the name, so I just added the two.

 

/off_topic "Darth" is a title for the Sith Lords not a first name. There Darth Maul, Darth Sidious, etc. /end_off_topic

As for mine, as like Solange. The 3 is the suffix of my full name.

 

Years ago when I was still a practicing laparoscopic surgeon, I got addicted to the game scene. I overheard my wife one night while I was playing and she was talking on the phone to her son. She got asked what I was doing, and I heard her reply, "He's out back, sharpening his GensuKnives!"

That's been my moniker ever since. And...............the eye-hand coordination that is required in my gynecologic specialty closely coincides with laparoscopic skills. The better I got at game skillz, the better my surgical skills became.

In a lot of our teaching sessions, when docs would come from around the country to learn our tricks and techniques for removing large things from small holes in the belly................we would suggest they practice by getting into the online FPS's and mixing it up. It really DID help. My $.02

 

Nothing to see here, move along

Thats correct

Some people have responded in threads mentioning shanemale
which makes it sound like its for a dating site or something sleazy

Edit:
It clearly takes me too long to make a post
Yes LauraR I was talking about you

Its my online gamertag, have absolutely no idea why i chose it though

 

I've used theefool in the early 80's BBS days. Perhaps the reason for the handle, is no one really thinks a fool knows anything, but being foolish. Which I'm not.

 

I chose mine for a simple reason.
When I used to play Halo 2 alot my weapon of choice was the Energy Sword.
Pretty self-explanatory

 

My surname. Simple

 

Sounds like it was around 4:20 when you chose it

~C

 

Hehe. Good job everyone. Now go forth, swing your vorpal swords and kill the fericious beast Jabberwocky!

And there will be cookies.

 

Uhhh, I traded my vorpal sword for a pack of Girl Scout Thin Mints. :yum
