I dont let anyone call me Tommie/Tommy (or any that sound like that). Any other variation of Thomas is fine

I wanna start changing up my usernames for anonymity, but can't be assed to. 

[piemadd]

I have been nick named after a food(Peeps), then nicknamed after a different food(Noodle), and then the second nickname, but more specific(Rotini Noodle).

[Ashiella]

I like the name ashley/ashlyn etc, and i had a friend a while back named ella

[PlayStation 2]

I'm sure most of you know the story by now of how Dan came about but it's simple: August 2014, the Every Simpsons Ever marathon was airing on FXX. I entered a heavy obsession period with the Simpsons that wound up in most of my major accounts taking the name of the voice actor of Homer Simpson and some other characters, Dan Castellaneta.

 

DoctorReptar comes from a much stranger origin: long story short, I was babysitting my neighbor's kids and Rugrats came on. One of the episodes that aired was a very old Season 1 episode (I believe) where Angelica disturbs Tommy as he's trying to sleep and tries to scare him into staying awake. One of the things that was in the episode was a chandelier, and one of those things on the chandelier was a Reptar figure. It spiraled from there.

That's not fair! I don't know why you use Dan Castellaneta. What's the super condensed Cliffs Notes version?

 

IRL nicknames:

DMoney, DMo - No idea why really, we'll go with white boys trying to act cool. My name begins with D, so..

Dirtking - High school nickname due to often showing up in class covered in dirt. Those to school/lunch hour rides were a great, though.

Dizmo - What I personally use on most things. Just a different version of above. It's usually available on most platforms, so I don't have to try and try again to get a username. Read: I am lazy, this is easy.

My 15 year old self wanted to have a cool/unique gamer tag when we got our Xbox 360.

Haha, my XBox tag has always been EastHastings. You have to be semi local to the GVRD get it. When people do, they know. I've had so many comments on it.

....I guess it would have paid to read all three pages, instead of stopping on the second.

Do you like all the seasons? The older ones were definitely better, I find. Though the episode where he smokes weed his hillllarious.

[BlueChinchillaEatingDorito]

I like Chinchillas. I found a picture of one munching on a Dorito. The rest is history.

Mainly older seasons, yeah. But there's some newer ones that give me a decent chuckle.

[Guest]

I know this is an old thread, but I thought I might as well contribute, it might also spark some other people to share.

 

My real name is Michael. I usually go by Mike.

 

However my nickname as such is Mac/MacGyver.

 

Funnily enough it is because of my wittiness to solve a problem, and the fact that I carry a multi-tool and a Swiss Army Knife with me and have done so for years.

 

I am pretty much known for solving problems with my multi-tool and swiss army knife.

Agreed.

[Arika]

Update with new name.

 

It's an intentional misspelling of my name based on the pronunciation one of my friends gave at me at school job because of their accent which everyone started to use

[orbitalbuzzsaw]

There was a while I was called Orbit as a pun on me being a space nerd and chewing a lot of gum, and when I went to register for something or other "Orbital" was taken so I just typed in the first word that came to mind

[PlayStation 2]

welp

I also have "handymanshandle" and various aliases on iFunny.

Anyone who's played Team Fortress 2 and knows what hats are probably knows what the Handyman's Handle is. It's a Pyro hat that's literally a plunger, and it's one of the red-colored items that isn't team colored by default.

For some reason I loved the way it looked in the Drably Olive paint, and once I got my Circling TF Logo one back it became my signature Pyro hat.

[Crunchy Dragon]

TheCrunchyDragon was my username on Lego Universe(if you remember that, you deserve a veteran's discount on Floatplane tbh).

 

Been using some form of that for basically everything since then.

 

In my friend circle, I go by Newt. This happened because one of my friends wanted to bother their sister about page 250 of The Death Cure.

seems about right...surprise!

[Lazaro]

The name Lazaro wasn't available when creating my Runescape account (my irl name ). So I went with the suggested name of  Lazaro170

 

10 years later and I still use some form of Lazaro with 170,1700,17000,180,1800, at the end.

[Beef Boss]

One of my hundred waifus but I changed her name to sound better. My first username was my name. My second one was my actual nick name bad luck Brian because of the meme and how much I memed in school. Now I'm a weeb. 

[handymanshandle]

Mine is just words I threw together to make sound good.

Old one was based off my rabbitry (I raise rabbits for 4H and sometimes show them in ARBA shows.

[DimasRMDO]

My nickname is Dimas, my first name is Masardi though.

I guess if you repeat my first name it will sound like...

MasarDIMASarDIMASardi

 

People call me Samid sometimes (my name backward).

My username (DimasRMDO) came out randomly, as Dimas had already been used, I had to put random letters until it was available.

In some sites I'm also known as "BrappyWankel" as I drive a wankel powered car and my friends make fun of my car's sound by saying "Brappy wankel, hehehe".

[Guest]

My name is Rory and I'm from NZ. 

[captain_to_fire]

My nickname is just the first three letters of my second name
