Where does your name come from?

[Queen B]

So tell me was it the pizza you ordered and took 20 minutes over what they told you it would, was it the city you were born? The nickname you got in college?
What inspired you to get your nickname?

I chose mine because I'm really into these royalty princess stuff and looks. I have a LOT of mini crowns I wear when I go out, and I also love Hime Gyaru look, which is Princess Fashion in Japan
Then I started watching Gossip Girl, and OMG I looooove Blair Waldorf. If you don't know who she is, here's a small clip about her, and she's also known in the series as Queen B.

What about your nickname?

[lolcat]

I took the name lolcat because I will shamelessly admit the only reason I originally joined this site was to post caturday pics in gene's thread and I couldnt think of anything original.

[Apache Warrior]

I took the name lolcat because I will shamelessly admit the only reason I originally joined this site was to post caturday pics in gene's thread and I couldnt think of anything original.

And it ended up being an original.
I have had mine for so long (pre Cain's ) that I do not remember how I choose it.
Apache (ducks all of the old jokes)

[{CLR} ObiTroy]

I use to be a Jedi Knight but Mommy made me throw my light saber away, worried I was going to poke someone's eye out. This is what I told my daughter a few years ago and she believed it for a long time.

I got into gaming with all the old, great Lucas Arts games in the early 90's... Obi Troy was what I used for my gaming profiles then and it just stuck with me.

[ViTO]

Friends & Fam just call me "V" its been that way my whole life.

V = Vito ( full name Vito Pagano ) You dont need a middle name when your Vito Pagano.

V + Toes = Vito


oh yeah...
I have been called ViTOP by more then one network/computer admins.
Funny how those guys all have the same sense of humor.

In work I always show on the network as vitop ... being called " Vi ( eye) - Top " always made me laugh.

[Duke{CLR}]

My name was originally The Duke after John Wane but when playing a game called descent abut 16 years ago the name showed up as The Duk. After being quacked at a bunch of time i dropped the the.

[BigTwinky]

I've had bigtwinky as my alias for the last 10 years or so.

I used to go with Doughboy, but when I joined a popular gaming forum for an MMO, that name was taken. And I hated using Doughboy123.

Last time I explained this, people didnt really get it. But now, with the movie Zombieland, everyone knows...

There is a scene in the original Ghostbusters movie where Egon is talking Winston and explaining the various paranormal forces or what not... and he compares them to a twinkie. Winston replies "thats a big twinkie".

I put a Y instead of IE at the end because I'm french and thought thats how it was written

[homosapien15]

This thread seems familiar....

I was a 15 year old human when I first created an online account.

Things have changed, but not the name

[Trooper110]

Can't remember exactly where my names came from, but I know where and what games:

Trooper110, been using it since Starcraft days. I now use it for all of my FPS games, and sci-fi type games.

Igorod, been using since Diablo 2 days. I use it mostly for RPG type games.

[MTJ=DK=]

MTJ = Michael T. Jensen

[Caddys83]

Ok I'll bite,

My original screen name was Linck and Lincc as far back as 1995 with Duke Nukem 3D. Cause well.... my first name is Lincoln (hate that name but it is what it is) I used those two screen names on serveral different games back in Sega's heat.net, Mplayer.

When I was going to Metro Tech for Cisco networking. Friday after noon's were relaxed days where we can catch up on any assignments we need to or have a lan game. This is when I found Starcraft and Unreal Tournament 99 . Everyone had cool names and I couldnt figured out a cool name for me. Someone said how about Caddys. Back then I had two Cadillac's (parents were cool back then) and I was always known to drive Cadillac's cause no one else would have them boats in the parking lot.

So I decided Caddys83s as my screen name 83 was the number I chosen cause both of my cadillac were 1983 models (this is still my current name for Battlefield 2 ) In Call of Duty 2 I just shorten it to caddys83.

Sometimes I think caddys can be mis-leading. Jumped to the Call of Duty 2 days and COD4 several people ask me if I was a girl ... Blah

[Reimill]

my actual name is Reimill, i got it from my parents names being smooshed together

mu[riel] + [emil] = Reimill

[ViTO]

[MR_MADHATTER]

I got it for wearing a bright chartreuse and black tiger stripe hat on the paintball field and standing up behind the barracades while everyone else was hunkered down behind theirs. It worked...we took 1st place in a tournament that way. After that I started using it as an in-game name.
