The Nickname we choose....
Thursday, August 1, 2002 by joetheblow | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Why did you choose the nickname you chose???
I chose joetheblow because I'm just an ordinary Joe Blow. I put my pants on one leg at a time, I have a wife, 2.5 kids, single, live with my parents, about to go to a retirement home, highschool teenager, college graduate, voting, non-voting, citizen, alien, yada yada yada...you get the point.
So I have meaning behind my name. Does yours? Or is it just a name you came up with? (nothing wrong with that!!!)
I have alsonoticed that some people wanted to change (or have) their nickname, why???

Weon - My nick came from the inability to type my own name correctly. Now, can you guess my name?

Glen, the names are as genuine as ..uh.. their owners! ( Realize also that most of us don't have names with a nice onomapoetic ring to them like yours)!

ooppss... i never readed this thread before
My real name (when i not transmutate on a dangerous soul) is Carles (Charles on english), and Carlitus is the friend diminutive on my language.
So Carlitus means Charlie.
Sometimes i have a lot of imagination, but the first time that i chatted my mind not find a good nickname. I get this name beacuse i girl friend called me this on my glorious frist day on chats and Internet
Carlitus is also the name of a popular rabbit on a TV Show of my land... and this is the origin of lots of jokes on my country

Actually, the only reason my real name's on here is that I somehow missed the "nickname" area when I was signing up. And it just seemed like too much of an effort to have it changed. But onomapoetic? Is that something I'm unfamiliar with, or were you going for "onomatopoetic"? Either way, you've lost me on that one!
I've been on IRC forever, so I've dealt with the nickname thing before. I started off with "Trroy" ... because some guy in college thought that Troy was my name (I have no idea why), but Troy with one 'r' was already taken. I panicked and added an 'r.'
Currently when I need a nickname it's usually either "greed," since that's a frequent auto-generated username for me (first initial, last name), or "Ruthven." The latter's from a short story that I adapted to a screenplay a few years ago.

Ok back in the day when I played D&D I was Saphire Rose, but that name was already taken when I discovered the wonderful world of the chat room RP, So Saphira is like a vampiric version of saphire and Dragoness well my char's half dragon. now I like the name so much I use it for everything online, I even sighn all my art work with my nick cause its sounds soooo much better than my real name.

nickname? It's getting harder to remember the name I had before they flushed me from the matrix...
Baker St. 221b, doyle, etc. I went by Mycroft forever, til I realized that other people were beating me to all the good registrations. I alternated between this, MobyFrob, MisterFoo, and NaylandSmith for a while, and settled on bakerstreet.

OK, what is this IRC I keep hearing about???
Oh and I have a system to keep all my nicknames in check; I forget what the system is, but I only have 3 nicknames so it isn't that hard.

When I first got on line I used to use 'vira lata'in Portuguese that means 'street dog'in English.
The thing was, I used to use some strange carachters to type §treetÐog.
When I first came into the old Skinz.org and went to register an account, their system didn't accept the wierd carachters and cut the § and the Ð, becomming just treetog. I never changed it.
