Title: Our Names... What's in a nick?
Post by: saltydog on October 15, 2007, 13:17:23
I'm just going to run this up the flagpole, see if it'll fly..

In short, I wonder how people think up their nicknames. Sometimes I see names and wonder: why did he/she pick that name..?
As for me, when I first joined the forum, I was thinking of ships, the sea, and then that song by Procul Harum drifted into my head.. I was surprised the name wasn't taken..
So, if you feel like sharing your reason for your nickname, feel free..   ;)

greetings, saltydog...

Nice topic :)

You may already know why I chose mine, but here goes ;)

I started doing my own music mixes in 2002, I decided on my nickname after watching the first Matrix film.  In 2003, I started making my own music videos, and the name was transferred to those too ;D

Anyway, that's me ;)

Regards.

DJM (full nickname is DJ Morpheus).

Mine's simple..

I'm Fred, and I've got a screw loose... But only in a fun way though   ;D

Though I did not pick it myself. My flightsim mates did. It kinda stuck after they all agreed I was nuts, based upon my somewhat uhm.. unconventional maneuvering in dogfights.   :P

unconventionel, but even so, pretty effective, I should add..

Fred

As far as flying goes, just stick to me like glue and you'll be fine..
A bit nauteous maybe, but fine...  ;D

As far as SS08 goes, I tend to be a bit less crazy when there's no shooting involved  ;)

Hi there...
chose my nick from a fork the Nightwish drummer (see www.nightwish.com) invented
the metalfork is basically a four spiked fork on which the two spikes in the middle are broken away!
I saw him on a DVD where he had one and for the next Nightwish concert i have built a huge fork and was luckily able to give it to him after the concert! (see picture below)
from there on it was my nickname everywhere!

Cheers....

I've had several Harleys in the past but they're too expensive now and since I'm getting older I find I prefer the smoothness and quietness and power of the Valkyrie. Way back when I was a youngster my first motorcycle was actually a Norton.

What engine does it have, a Goldwing..?
Title: Re: Our Names... What's in a nick?
Post by: RJK on December 06, 2007, 00:18:18
Same engine as the older Goldwing had the 1520 cc. The new Goldwing is 1800 cc. I don't know why Honda discontinued the Valkyrie. In 2004 they changed it and made it the Valkyrie Rune which was very futuristic looking but didn't sell very well so instead of just going back to the old style Honda stopped building them altogether.

I think mine might be easy to figure out the reason.

It's my real name, with the space removed between forename and surname. I know, "no imagination".

I toyed with "Supreme Marmite Sucker of the Universe", but went for "TerryRussell" as being the equivalent.

My nickname is pretty simple: as I used to wear those shoes all the time, my friends at the university were calling me "Bottman", because these typical Swedish shoes were named "Botten" here. So I was christened like "Batman", but "Bottman"... ;D

After a few years of studying, some people would like to ask me about my real name, because they have only known my nick... ;)

Post by: IRI5HJ4CK on July 14, 2008, 18:32:54
Here's an interesting one, IRI5HJ4CK means "Irish Jack", the first website i registered with wanted a secure username (so nobody could hack into my profile) and it said it wanted letters an numbers, and i decided to add caps on it to make it even harder for people to try and hack into my profile (if someone tried) so i thought to myself "what should i do?" and i came up with the idea of "Irish Jack" but then relised it had to have no spaces, so i decided to make it "IRI5HJ4CK" the 5 being s and the 4 being the a, to suit the rules of the site i was registering on. And ever since then, i have used that name, not so much for security now but just for general use, as i like it, lots of people that don't know me on MP (which dosen't happen often as i'm always on MP, its usually the new ones) call me "Irish", or "Towing Service" since i added the Towing Service bit to my name as i've always done towing, think back to the days of Marseille and you will remember.

Jack.

That turns the word into jacko, baker is my surname,so we gettin to something here,add them together, you get jackobaker  :o. And no im not 53 years old, it was the first thing that popped into my mind, i should have called myself jackobaker13, but that sounds bad. I have a lot of people on all games that call me jacob, which makes me sound like someone from the bible, please read the K after the C ;D

Well let's see....It was around 30 years ago (gee I sure feel old, a few months shy of 50) I was working on a construction job. We were putting in grounding cables for some shortning tanks (this was a cake mix plant for Proctor & Gamble next to their Pringle Potato Chip plant) and we were being rushed to get it done. One of the guys said I was running around like a weasel and the name stuck. I haven't used the nickname since leaving the constrution trade in '91, but a few people still call me Weasel. I just added the water part for SS and there ya go.

PS: The picture I use is really a mink, I couldn't find a good weasel pic. I added the water reflection in Photoshop Elements.

Ahoy to all Ship(sim)mates,
My first name is Aad, the short form is Aadje (like in short and shorty) piraatje is short for Piraat (that's dutch for Pirate) so the rime was swiftly made and
aadje piraatje was born. And just 'cause I'm a lazy typer I lost the space between tose two seperate words and that's why.

If you have find a very angry Spambot on your doorstep tonight I swear, I didn't tell her. :doh:

Well,  I can't really say as there is much of a story behind Llamalord.  I think that just one day I thought of calling my self llamalord and then everything else just kind of grew around it.


I wish I had more of a story to tell but, that's really all there is to it. ;D

I mean why you choosed "llamalord" when registering but not something another? Why you decided to call yourself in that way?

Again I don't really know.

I think it started as a password actually.  I think first was just Llama, then came like llamaking or something like that, and later came llamalord. to the best of my knowledge the only way the Lord part came into view was that I was lord of all things llama such as my computers on the Llamaland network. :-\

What I really hate are the other few llamalords out there that are just stupid.  most of them (I only know of about three others) spell llama in correctly (one L (lama)) And none of them have a real career like I do or have had the pleasure of piloting a national historic landmark S/S Sabino because of their hard work 3D modeling :D :D

Don't remind me about that joke! lol :doh:

First time I asked Terry to change my username from "Cushioncraft" to "Diamant" without no valid reason - "just because I'd like to be under that name" like I said to him.  But when after some time I said "If they'll put a second hovercraft in SS - I'll be thinking about returning my good'ol name back!", Terry said that I'll have to delete that & create a bew account next time if I'll again have no reason for name changing. :doh:
...which I did this time making a lot of confussion. However I'm glad that it went so - I've never been so famous before on forum.

I got my name just because I was thinking... I love being "The Captain" of things, like ships, planes, land vehicles that require ranking, and regiments in military videogames. So, I thought that I could be "The Captain", as showing public ranking of myself. Plus, it just sounded cool, so that's the other 50% right there ;D.

I think I should change my name to "Forum Clown" ;D.
