What's the Origin of the Nickname You Go By?

[TechyBen]

I am very technical...

[Automobili3XF]

I've been a Chevy dude since i can remember, the nickname really stuck when i got my first car (a Chevy C10)

[Urishima]

See, back when I was a wee little weeb, I actually thought that shit like 'Love Hina' was the absolute tits. However, probably due to the brain-damage suffered from reading harem trash, I always read the main character's as 'Urishima' instead of 'Urashima'. Seriously, it took me like 9 volumes to notice my mistake, but by then I had chosen the name as my online handle.

 

I am recovered now, btw.

[Rainfall]

I go by 2 nicknames.

 

The main one is GVmG and it comes from GV (my initials) and makesGames because I was an edgy teen who wanted to make games (now I'm an edgy 21yo who wants to make games).

 

The other one is Rainfall (sometimes just Rain or Heavy Rain or similar rain-related stuff), because... I like rain. Nothing more obscure.

[Froody129]

Decided I need a new username and picked the first word that came to mind.

 

It's a pity everyone calls me Frodo now tho because they haven't read the book 

[bleedblue]

My name is Ao which is Japanese for Blue and I like alliterations.

[Automobili3XF]

Oh, i have many!

Online:

"Chevy_Monsenhor": Talked about this one loads of times, i always a big Chevy fan and knew a lot about the brand and models, one day i was speaking to a classmate that was also a very big Chevy fan, he then proceeded to call me "Chevy Monsenhor", to this day i think he meant to call me "Chevy Wizard" or something, but i though it sounded cool so i stuck with it.

"1984_C10": Year and model of my truck, a 1984 Chevy C10.

 

IRL:

"Guto": first one i remember having, a diminutive from my second name (Augusto)

"Chevy": Again, folks call me this one frequently.

"Diesel": I also happen to like Diesel powered trucks a lot.

[FrankySam]

My IRL name is Sam, but there's an outgoing joke between my friends, that once 1 stranger insisted that I'm a guy he knows by the name Frank, he stated that we 100% look-alike. 

[Beef Boss]

Tsundere dragon, why else? 

[LinusOnLine]

Its a play on my first name and an old Cartoon
 

 

[MrFixitBlankFace]

I did one of these for the avatar and now it's the Display Name's turn.

 

MrFixitBlankFace

That's mine

 

I guess its because at the house I am known as "Mr. Fixit" because I'm always screwing and unscrewing.    And my avatar is sort of a "BlankFace" guy, so there you have it.

Combine the two and it's: MrFxitBlankFace

[Zusafek]

Zusafek. One of my gamer names. Name of my main characters in WoW, SWTOR, and about any game I can rename with. 

[Guest]

My nickname irl is Rorz and I’m from NZ. 

[Linker]

Probably a pretty common story, made it when I was like 8, and never stopped using it.

I was playing a Zelda game at the time, and when I needed to choose a username for a new game I choose "Linker500".

Now I like to pretend it has nothing to do with the game...

You were here when you were 8?

Thumbs up!

[MrFixitBlankFace]

Nevermind….you just joined a year ago.

[Drak3]

Drake is an under appreciated name.

[Dissitesuxba11s]

Here is an older thread in case you want to read up on some other name origins:

 

Here is mine:

Quote

My 15 year old self wanted to have a cool/unique gamer tag when we got our Xbox 360. I thought it would have been funny when people read my gamer tag, Disgamesuxba11s (This game sucks balls), over comms, making them coming off as being butt hurt about the game. It was different, and 99.99% of time, this username is available; for forums, I simply change it to "site" instead of "game." I don't mean any ill will about it and particularly DON'T think the sites that I create accounts for sucks balls. If they do suck, they are not worth the effort of me making an account.

 

If you see this handle on games and other forums, more than likely it is me so feel free to say "Hi!"

 

[GeoSquigg]

Combo of my real name and nickname I was given in school .. no one to this day knows where, who or why the name came about .. it came .. it stuck

[Juniiii]

Juniiii the way my last name is pronounced. I also like weed but that’s just off topic

[xKyric]
