How did your Nick came to be ?

[Tribulexrenamed]

I made it up and then I searched it on google after a year and this is what i found:

[Jazcash]

Combination of a nickname shorting of my first name + the first part of my last name.

[Boirunner]

this could be straight from ulillillia

[bobthedinosaur]

i think back in the TA irc chat room (gnug.irc or something like that) i needed a name and a Dilbert calender page was ripped off and lying next to the desk.

And yes, I do have a pet Jingle Bear <3

He's actually kind of a useless sod, but at the same time, extra cannon fodder is nice in hardmode when you need all the bodies you can get your grimy little hands on.

[TheMightyOne]

I think I was highly influenced by Plancescape:Torment when I came up with that nickname. The main Hero was called TheNamelessOne coz he forgot his past including his name but I didnt want to just copy it so ive put in "Mighty" which is what my name could be translated to from latin.

[luckywaldo7]

Interesting thread.

Anyway in rl people have told me I look like Waldo from "Where's Waldo" (I believe in the original UK version he is known as Wally) so that is my rl nickname.

When I started hanging with my gaming friends I picked up the games we played really quickly. Whenever I beat one of them they would say "beginners luck..." and "lucky waldo" so I took it to be my alter ego of teh interwebz.

I added the 7 because the name had already been used somewhere (seriously, who else could have come up with that!? O_o)

btw if you don't know what Waldo looks like, just take a look at my avatar. And yeah, I know...

KaiserS?

[PicassoCT]

J like Joint, J like Joint Ventures, J like Jump n┬┤Run...

[Gota]

Crap+Godzilla

[Apollo]

lol

[BaNa]

my high school nickname was banya (a truncated version of my family name) , over time it got simplified and 1337-ified into BaNa.

My main alt is Ender, cause I <3 Ender's game and you know this is an internet game thing and in the book he plays a computer game thing too so it is ironical too haha (okay so it isnt) .

[Gota]

lol

I was actually referring to my lobby nickname which is Crapzilla..
Gota came from Goa trance..

That and the Thomas the Tank Engine reference

[Sleksa]

Sleksa comes from my real name, Leo. All of my friends started calling me leksa because it sounded funkier, and a half-estonian friend of mine later on decided that it sounds even cooler with a S in front of the leksa.

So Leo -> Leksa -> Sleksa


I also use the name TREE_IN_FOREST in all blizzard games , which comes from a troll-like play on wc3, where you hide your tree of lifes inside forests and hope your enemy gets frustrated and leaves~~

[ginekolog]

In primary/highschool i was local hobby gynecologist for all our girls and they started calling me ginekolog (=gynecologist). I theached them about their 3 holes etc... yes, many didnt know, they posses 3 holes down under :p

Nick stuck for many years now
