How Did Everyone Get Thier Username/nickname?

[Deluxe]

As the title says, just out of couriosity.......

I got mine because I had a custom number plate 'DELUXE" on my car a few years back. It was a 1990 VQ Statesman 5.0ltr, and being one of the top of the range in it's model I came up with deluxe. some of my mates still call me Deluxe, so i guess it's stuck!

[LiQuid IcE]

I have absolutely no idea why i came up with mine.

It was about 6 years ago and I was probably really proud of myself for thinking it up, and now its too late to change it because Iv'e used it on everything.

I would never get them as my license plate though.

[Whiplash]

me and my mate used to have use whiplash for our old go kart team - and i couldn't think of anything when i signed up

[66 skyline gt]

[Madaz]

[GFXman]

I think I needed a username for some site registration years ago. I'm a graphic designer so GFXman was something that came to mind.

other nicknames derived from my real name include joolz, jug, jugs, boobs etc

[writeoff]

My first two cars were written off, hense writeoff.

I'd like to put it on plates but its 8 digits ($$$$) and riteoff just doesn't look right. Also could become prophetic which I'd like to avoid.

[vange]

Vange came from my real name Evangelos, that started bk at school....

Use Evan at work cos its easier to say, and also have several variants of vange...

VANE = my friend was writing VANGE on the desk in art once n missed the G and ended up with VANE

vUnge = a slightly more sexual/deeper way of saying vange.

my bday is called 'the annual vange' which happens once a yr (obviously) and cos we were so cool bk at school, all the girls would wana come n we made it an exclusive 'sleep over' with just mates, we then proceded to do stupid things walking my backstreets and then telling every1 the stories and it would make ppl wana come more n more hahahaha

[pokie]

well back when i was 16yo i was doin a retail course thing

and a couple of my friends started poking me for no reason

so instead of getting called 'Amanda' it'd be 'Pokie' and i didn't

mind it, thought it sounded cool(still think it does) but yeah heaps

of people still poke me

oh i think the other reason why people poked me was coz i was

very ticklish, but i'm not anymore

[Tylthidras]

Tylthidras - um...came up with as a character name for a medieval type story i was writing for a creative piece in year 8 english.

needed a new email address at the time, used the name. Used it as name's no computer games back when i had time to play em, when i ended up on forums, it became my forum name.

[hanyou]

hanyou.. from the anime inuyasha, half demon and half human

which is my gtr (godzilla) and me combined

[Maxx]

way back in 95, i connected my 486 to the internet through a 28.8k? modem and playing ICQ and IRC

a few friends told me it's dangerous to use real name on the net

so i use the name of a character from the comic i like

[Madaz]

^^ would be Maxx Power

[chrissso]

I used to own a triples s pulsar and used to lurk pulsar.org.au

And its my name.

Kind of corny, but who gives a shit.

[Tangles]

I started playing my first online game last October, Day of Defeat, and was first time using WSAD keys in liue of arrow keys - lets just say I used to get very tangled up. Sgt.Tangles was my name, got a few laughs, then I was asked to join a clan, so it changed to goon>>Tangles. Now I have a go on BF2 a little and call myself MajorTangles.

Plus Im hung like max walker "its like a babys arm holding an apple" from The 12th Man fame, and his nickname for Australia was Tangles, so it just seems normal to me. Could be Tripod I guess, LOL, but Tangles it is. LOL

[chops]

chops, being short for chopper, or "the chopper".

I did human dissection as part of my first year university studies, and the name has stuck ever since.

[HOSTILE]

Nothing exciting here... just the plate on my GTR.

[Oosh]

I did my Primary schooling in the UK, so when i came back to Aus and started High school I had a pommy accent, and of course copped grief for it.

Then one of the kids decided to say my name (Ashley) in as posh a voice as he could muster, it sort of came out as "Ooooshley", pretty quickly it was shorten to Oosh.

But instead of taking it as a tease, I actually kinda liked it, so adopted it as my nickname. After that I was always Oosh at high school, along with a few variations, Zoosh, Spoosh, Stoosh, etc.

It got continued at Uni, because one of my mates there was an Ash too, so i maintained Oosh to avoid confusion. I rarely even answered to Ash there.

[kralster]

Well back in year 7 on the first day of high school i went up to this girl and said "is your name Kirsty or Kristy?" and she went "Is your name Karl or Kral?" and then i just added "ster" on the end to get "kralster"

It's mostly just used for forums but my gaming tag is "Mr Charisma"

[skipppy]

I loved skippy as a kid so it came to me when i use to use IRC yrs ago but always found people had skippy with 2 p's so i always used 3 from then on weak story
