How did you decide your nick?

[Maxaxle]

School. The fifth grade or so.

It's recess time, and I lack ideas for a universal username for all things online that allow a name. So I scrambled my name from "Alex" to "Axle" and slapped "Max" on the front because it sounded cool.

[Darkenedflame22]

mines kinda simple, i had gotten bored of my xbl gamertag so i decided to change it. it was gonna be darknessflame22 but it was taken so after about ten minutes i decided to use darkenedflame22 and it stuck.

[Sutinen]

Well, looks like I havent posted here, even if I posted about month ago (not that post in this page).
My name is completely taken from my surname, Sutinen, but with just one more "n".

[OlafK]

Guess I just thought that TuomoH has got an awesome nick

[dead14vii1640]

I explained the origin of my nickname in the topic called "Those names..." so you can check it there.

Just one thing about this topic: you're ALL nuts!!!

I mean, the origin for some nicknames are pretty "unique" and most of them just confirm we're all just a bunch of freaks.


PS: DXTR, did you create THIS topic 'cause I explained the origin of my nickname in "Those names..."??

Indeed he did.

[CaLu]

My nickname comes from the Latin for wolf, Canis Lupus, took the first two letters of each Latin word and combined it, seemed quitte obvious for me as Wolf is my surname.

[Sutinen]

Your name is funny if you are Finnish and you read it- kalu

[TuomoH]

Your name is funny if you are Finnish and you read it- kalu

Tell me about it...

To those wondering, it translates as 'tool'...

[Sutinen]

It translates too as a ****. Cant say it, but its the most important organ of a man.

[OlafK]

Then I guess it means THE tool

[AleksiNir]

It translates too as a ****. Cant say it, but its the most important organ of a man.

Well, not the most important organ, but the one that is the most important at identifying someone as man

[TuomoH]

It translates too as a ****. Cant say it, but its the most important organ of a man.

In other words, tool.

[Doorslammer]

Once upon a time I used DaveCalibra as a name, but that changed when I finally got to drove one... handles like a bucket on it's side. Bloody awful car.

Anyway, now the name is drag racing term for a car with operable doors. Huh, who knew...

[Razzoy]

my name was kind of decided a loong time ago, when i played a game on miniclip.com ( ) and in that game i used razorz to kill others, so suddently i decided to name me as Razzoy first, and then fore some few yeas ago i finally decided to use razz instead (but i still use razzoy sometimes )

[Ginseng]

Well, Ginseng is for me a quite strange name actually... sounds Asian or at least healthy
One stupid classmate started with that. My last name ends with "...sen", so in his stoned mind he must have had a mind flash that made him compare my last name with Ginseng. Unfortunately he did that in front of the whole class and from that day on my nick name was Ginseng. I really got pi**** off when people called me that way but over then time I used a different strategy and made it my online name.

[Haruna]

"Haruna" is the name of one of the mountains in Japan, it's also home to the real-world counterpart to the "Akina" mountain pass in Initial D.

"Say" is my actual last name.

Is this an okay bump? Rather do this than start a new thread.

[Trigger Happy]

No bump.

[The lost Ninja]

No bump.

"No Bump"? What kind of a nickname is that?

[andrew2209]

If you look at my profile, you could easily work out part of my nickname. The other part is my 1st name.

However, if you can't find it, here the the reason:

2209=22nd September (my birthday) When writtenout as a short date, it is 22/09

[dead14vii1640]

Do you know demolition racing game called "Eve of destruction"? Well, knowing my name is Eva (Eve as used in Spain) and this game is not about destroying...
I considered another nickname: evetona, because the game that brought me to virtual racing (and to real racing too) was the original Daytona USA but that sounded just too lame for me. About that game, it taught me the basics of racing driving: gas "kindness", ultrafast gas-brake-gas technique (key to success if you want to be fast driving a kart, you don't have to deccelerate, you need to have FAST feet), drafting, and even "rattling cages" .

[The Noose]

First it was GRF=GeneRally Fan. Then I changed it to The Noose because... Umm... Well... I needed some change.

Do you know demolition racing game called "Eve of destruction"?

Oh that is a great game! I propably played Driven to Destruction (or Eve of Destruction) the most after GT4. It's a shame it didn't really get very well known atleast here in Finland.

My name stuff is somewhere at the first page so no need to rewrite them. Except that right now I am thinking of a second nick name for the happier songs and dance tracks. Nothing good has come up yet, though. I was thinking of KandiBoi, but that is too cheery.

[Thunderstrucker]

An old thread bumped.
But as it goes..
I love AC/DC... boring story. :/

[XYY]

@RaphaelAC/DC: this is not a "real" bump cause it's always interesting to know how people decided their nickname.
