Where does your nick come from?

TheArtist · **Posted:** 11 Oct 2004, 07:17

Hey, some of us take Christianity (or whatever denomination you are) as seriously as say, breathing. I'm sorry, as it may be just a cool word to you, but as one who well, roots for the opposite, I wish you were a bit more mindful. That's all.

Okay, I said it. Moving on...

Now, as for my name, it's rather boring and it was intended as such on purpose. I am an artist; a cartoonist, actually, and when I made up this name I meant to stay quite anonymous. That's no longer the case, really, but it's easy to remember. Oh well. :lol:

Q-tip · **Posted:** 14 Oct 2004, 17:12

Hey hey, long time since I've posted people, I'm actually at school right now, haha! My nick comes from my friends, they were naming everyone after bathroom objects and i got Q-tip. Now people took that and made it into "Tippy" and "Tipster" Tippy is what girls call me, Tipster is what guys call me. :wink:

Ed · **Posted:** 16 Oct 2004, 19:54

It's my first name.

Lonewolf · **Posted:** 16 Oct 2004, 20:32

well

obviously my nick came from MaxPAyne 2

olleman · **Posted:** 17 Oct 2004, 14:55

Mine is after a channelname #ollemannen a few years ago when I hade my own (horrible) home-made nickname.
Back then we were on 56k and we would have this channel as a gathering point. That's pretty much how I adopted it.

Well, my mother use to call me a hurricane, after the mess I left everyday as a kid. Then I grew up and I'm not so bad anymore, I'm only a whirlwind :roll:

lame huh?!

Vlad the Great · **Posted:** 08 Nov 2004, 23:31

Well, as a lot of you probably figured out, I play Max Payne...

Elizabeth · **Posted:** 09 Nov 2004, 14:21

It is my full first namy. In english it sounds as Elisabeth, but in russian it sounds as Elizabeth.

Anselmiina · **Posted:** 09 Nov 2004, 20:55

Unfortunately at my work, people always call me Anselmiina or Pikku Myy. I just looove those names :wink:

Hi, I'm Donna. Obvious, ain't it?

greyfox · **Posted:** 15 Nov 2004, 05:11

my name comes from the ninja of metal gear solid.

Dante · **Posted:** 15 Nov 2004, 05:32

Even though his name was Gray Fox and the avatars he used on forums was a quarter that size.

greyfox · **Posted:** 15 Nov 2004, 05:52

did I say anywhere on this page that it was his name, it's from his name.

is this avatar better?

Funny, that doesn't say "My name is a take on the ninja from MGS", it looks more like "I named myself after the ninja from MGS." Regardless, that's still too big.

Donna · **Joined:** 28 Aug 2004, 08:12 **Posts:** 1229

Yep, still too big. Why don't you put Grey Fox on your icon?

MOLE · **Posted:** 20 Nov 2004, 23:28

Well, everybody knows what a mole is, I guess. In Dutch it is written: MOL (without the E) and those letters happen to be my initials..........so I guess that's about it. Also the little animals are kinda funny and cute...I consider myself fun to be with....if I'm cute is up to others to deside LOL

PotF Fan · **Posted:** 21 Nov 2004, 22:02

Well, mines a day's clear thing

KillingTheStork · **Posted:** 21 Nov 2004, 23:56

Well my name came from a very interesting event. I and a girl at my work have been friends for a while you could say. She's 20 soon to be 21, and I'm 16. Her mom told her she's not robbing the cradle, she's killing the stork. She told me about this story, and I thought what the heck, can't think of anything else so I'll use it. It kinda sounds like a band in my opinion.

Lucretia · **Posted:** 25 Nov 2004, 23:22

Mine really ought to be Lucrezia, but the z got changed to a t because it sounds English.

It comes from the (in)famous Italian poisoner Lucrezia Borgia and was given to me quite a few years ago after I bruised a few male egos at a LAN party by repeatedly winning.

Essentially, the reasoning behind the name is that I may look innocent but I have a lethal reputation.

PoorTwistedMe · **Posted:** 27 Nov 2004, 00:49

It's a song from Metallica's "Load"-album. I have been a fan of Metallica's since my second grade and it's also a quite suitable nickname for me, cuz I'm a one VERY TWISTED (and poor) studentboy... :twisted:

Closeups of the eye always make good avatars hehe

That's by far the best story of a nickname I've EVER heard.

Phew! Close Call!

Compared to yours, mine is downright awkwardly simple.
It's the mid-nineties I like LL cool J, my name's Chris, and I need a nick for my hotmail account. Didn't take me a second to pick my nick, thinking I could think of a cooler one later on. Today my nick is still LLChris. In every Forum and mail addy on this earth.

Mai-Coh-Ah-Jah · **Posted:** 03 Dec 2004, 18:36

My usual nick is "Torniojaws" which I use in most places (Tornio, my hometown, and Jaws, the movie, which was my favorite when I was a kid), but recently I've started to use this one. It should mean "The eye of the wolf" in Navajo.

Journeyman · **Posted:** 03 Jan 2005, 21:07

My nick comes from Iron Maiden's song named Journeyman.

ValkyrInsane · **Posted:** 03 Jan 2005, 21:20

Should I answer on this question?... :twisted:

I was just "Valkyr" ( my friends named me, in 2001 when MP1 appeared, because of my green eyes), then... when I was "destroyed" at MP1, I became more INSANE!!!! :twisted:

I mean, I'm not dead o'cause, but... a little "weak"... :evil:

I_luv_Radi · **Posted:** 03 Jan 2005, 22:03

ValkyrInsane · **Posted:** 03 Jan 2005, 22:06

But...hehe... Girls love my green eyes.

Am Shaedan · **Posted:** 03 Jan 2005, 22:18

Mine comes from middle-east history. Where Am Shaedan was the god of the death and love...

Trutfully speaking, I have no idea. It's one of those words my twisted mind produced. *manical laughter*

Huoh. Too much coffee today. Way too much.

I'm going to bed.

Where does your nick come from?
