where do your nick names come from?

thread title says it all. fire off guys (and gals maybe), any interesting stories there?

bluemoon is a old saying my mom once used, she was from the south. and my sign is a crab. so the saying is "once in a bluemoon"

I have red hair and my heritage is, to a large extent, Irish, so I just went with it.

elven name generator... did it for fun and i like the sound carinthir

I have big feet and my nickname was at one point sasquatch because I had facial hair earlier than others and my abnormally large feet. However that name was taken online for email and so was the correct spelling of yeti so there is yhetti.

aight, wont deprive you guys of my story. is a longer one actually. one of my first LAN parties. me and some buddies playing D2. All starting a new char, i go for the necromancer. after some seconds of red-bull induced thinking i come up with godoflight (read: god of light). thought it was a nice paradoxon.
as soon as i enter the game tho, all my friends go: what?? godo flight? for some reason, their minds automatically put it that way...really weird.
anyways, kinda became my nick, because everybody found it funny.
so after getting used to liking it, i started stressing this with the _...

i gave my real life friend the nickname Bobblehead, a one day when i was over his house, he told me about ogame and signed me up and he asks, "what u want ur name to be?" i was like Bobblehead, and it just stuck, and i love that nickname. once in a while ill shorten it to Bobble

Well me nickname Cye is just a name that i picked out of thin air really and i just stuck to it lol.

I like uh.. monkeys and my balls look like two monkeys fighting over a bannanna so I figured what the hell

I always liked the musclebound fish tattoos. I figured they also ought to have claws.
But if you want to look at it another way, clawed as in mauled.

my real nickname is daywalker because of my unnatural ability to see at night and blend in, i was at camp with some friends and we were going up to the dinning hall and i walk faster so i stopped about half way there on the side of the road and waited for the guys to catch up, well i guess i blend in real well because the guys walked right pass me and i just asked some random question and the guys freaked, since then, the group calls be daywalker

Well....!
My wife has been calling me Pinhead for the last Five years so i jest used that as a Nic...:-)
It doesn't have nothing to do with my Avatar.

I know it's sort of sad and Funny at the same time.

your avatar freaks me out

I love your Avatar!!!!
As a mater of fact, I love Bobbleheads

Hmm...I don't know why, but i simply love changing my online nickname

It's never the same

...Zakaruum nick came from Diablo 2 (Actually it's Zakarum, but that was taken so I went with Zakaruum)

Hi guys! My nickname is hydra (sometimes iamthehydra) because I am Marilyn Manson fan, in Antichrist superstar he says "I am the hydra/ now you'll see your star"

I used jrex, as my name is justin and I used to have a wrx (aka rex). I changed it to "the banjo" when I changed to bobblehead's account; after my dog in my avatar, who I named banjo.

quite doggy

...I've got a rottweiler...but he doesn't bite, he just likes to hump a lot

We should have named him Sir Humpalot
