How'd you get your nickname?

[Dradam]

I'am just curious about peoples nickname's cos' i got a few of them and there are some interesting stories behind them.
Keg = Beer keg, i'am big and i like beer.
Krusty = played rugby got blood all over me and it dried crusty.
Draga = Demon Spawn
Luver boy = Seriously do i need to go into details.

[Fishus]

ooops, nii-sama... youve been lying again... how did you get your 'krusty' nickname? i got mine 'fish' for swiming like one and having a 3 second memory like a goldfish.

[Domhnall]

Dolly, my name is Domhnall. It's scottish gaelic and you pronounce it Dol. So..Yeah.....Dolly

DB, just plain initials.

Jingle Bells, the handcuffs and chains on my trousers hit together as I walk. Making them jingle...

Santa Claus, same as jingle bells

[Dradam]

ni sama fish, stop it you annoying little (well bigger) git.

[Fishus]

Who was it... the girl on Kenpatchi's back made some interesting nicknames, what do you think she would call you?

[Dradam]

I don't have a clue, most probably friend of Kenpachi because i enjoy violence soo much.

[Domhnall]

Umm.....Either something about me being skinny or having long hair or some form of Dol....

----------

Are you from Scotland, Draga? (just looking at your sig)

[Dradam]

Not exactly, my whole family is scots so i'am scots blood. But i was born in England. The scot's take the mic of my english birthplace and the english take the mic of my scots blood. I just bash all thier heads in and take the mic out of em cos' they're lying on the floor.
(my brother Fishus is scots)

[Domhnall]

Ah, fair enough. lol

[Tyenkrovy]

For the longest time, my nickname amongst my friends was Beard - some of them still call me that. In high school, I had a rather bushy beard - so much that people asked me if I were Amish, or the reincarnation of Abraham Lincoln. One of the english teachers gave me the nickname of "He of Considerable Beard", which was shortened to the monicker "Beard".

I can't think of/remember any other nicknames. Everyone either called/calls me by my given middle name, Adam, or Beard. If anyone calls me "Richard" (my first given name) or any derivative of said name, I just glare at them. I'm not fond of my first name.

Edit: Oh, yeah, I forgot. My dad's nickname for me was "Godzilla", because I was bigger/taller than him.

[Dradam]

Why don't you like the name richard?
beard, i can guess a nikname that kenpachi's vice captain would come up with. lol.

[Tyenkrovy]

It was my father's name, and I was never on good terms with him while he was alive. Plus, I don't like any of the nicknames derived from "Richard": Dick, Rich, Richy/Richie, Ric/Rick (that one was my dad's [Ric]). The only cool nickname I've ever heard from "Richard" was "Ditch".

[Dradam]

lol. i just remembered there was this kid in school who was called Mark Richard Head. he was always called... well you can guess. Unlucky kid. I felt sorry for him but then he went Chav and 'cussed me out' so i told him to Fu( off.

[Shinigami_Josh]

lol well i got one in highschool that i didnt like, arse so the person who kept saying it well lets say he dosnt doit any more hes afraid but most of the time i get called josh as a shortened form of my full name joshua which is funny cause i found out how to spell it with a y (jewish name)

[Dradam]

Yeah i like it when someone takes the mic outta ya and it gives you the perfect excuse to lay smitedown on thier ass.

[Kooy]

Kooy-stole it off of half-life
Lefty-because people get pissed off that i own in counter-strike source and im left handed

[a sexy penguin]

[Kooy]

=Albino-peopl call me this to get on my nerves,do to my hair being so blond its almost white.



Rofl that is stupid you can't be albino for white hair, seriously the people who called you that are stupid albino means red eyes and white hair,skin. so don't get mad at it

[odanion]

grizzly bear >>> I got it because of my size...I am quite tall and I have quite broad shoulders...so that is the nickname I get from most people

[~Natsumi Lam~]

I choose Natsumi Lam because Natsumi is the female verson of Natsume[from tenjou tenge] ... i love the name so i found

Natsumi - "Beautify Summer"

Lam- Cambodian name-> forest is i can remember

my last name is really Lam

so beautiful summer forest .... i love pine trees so i just really like the name

~Natsumi Lam~

[K.Ogawa]

when i lived in new york, i was called "chase". soon, my kendo sensei was calling me that... it just kept on and it's another name of mine.

[Ridia]

Hey, Katen Kyoukotsu;the father of Hatake Kakashi from Naruto was called White Fang.

And, about the nickname, Albino, that Touketsumaru told us about, the word "alb", in romanian , means white. :)

Going back to the topic, I never got a nickname from the others.
I use nicknames only on internet, like all the people do. :)

[Dissidia]

You bumped a 2 year old thread O.o

~Also no idea what this is doing in the intros, moving to the lounge.

[Tai Dai]

My nicknames in real life are

Hor- Because its my last name, pronounced "how", my friends say it like "whore" xD
Eli- Its my first name cut off (Elijah)

[Reyin]

Um I just kinda made it up once upon a time, started using it in half-life deathmatch... although it's apparently a last name, I'd never heard of it before.

[nova]

Hmm people call me tweak at most of the lans I go to because I would drink a lot of Bawls and play the fps like cs and CoD with my dpi maxed out on my mouse. I changed it to tweek..because hes my fav char from south park.

[Freya]

I got the nickname Shanyetta from my freshman year college roommate. My name is Shannon and my roommate Irie Love liked to call me Shanyetta.
I've also been called: Shan, Shanny, and Shananegan. really no other nicknames than that. :)

[Nubu]

i recently got a new nick name from a typo i made in class... instead of typing mini i typed Nubu...

[Addiction]

I got the nickname Dj from a old user name on Ganadu'r the Eternal Saga about 4 years ago. My second user name there was Dark_Jin. After changing it again people wanted to know who I was so I told them I was Dark_Jin and they shortened it to Dj. I've been using it since...

[berserk]

I pretty much gave myself the user name berserk. Reason being I'm just a big fan of the manga and seemed like a well enough nickname on it's own even without the direct reference to the manga itself. That plus I'm a "ticking time-bomb" guy. If I get to that point I'll go "berserk".

Before that, peeps called me Felix the Cat in real life cause of my name, Felix. They still do time to time.

[Llamaking]

Llamaking is from a comic me and my friend made quite a few years back. I pretty much just took the main character and used it as my name. Its stuck ever since.

[Ai]

/me had a lame nickname

Started a social group one day..They had problems with their computer network so I fixed it for them like 5 minutes after I'd been there. From then on I was called Bill instead of Alex due to being somewhat like Bill gates good with computers..

Such a lame nickname..>_>

[Hiraishin]

My name originates from a board game called "go" It literally translates to a cookie-cutter style of play in the opening relating to patterns of moves that are beneficial to both players o_O;;

[Kurita77]

BC becuase they are my initials but i never really liked that. When i was in highschool i got the nickname thorn67 during football season i actually liked that one. But my favorite one of all time is Fatman Jones one of my friends started calling me that because the NFL playe pacman jones.

[Kuran Kaname]

i got my first nick name(scn_cty_byakuya) cuase my fav charater is byakuya and i live in las vegas aka sin city. i got my second (ScB) cuasi i just shortened my first, i got my third Pink Petals cause byakuyas bankai has pink petals. and my fourth (Mr. Petals) cuase everyone was putting mr. infront of their names in the Killa Crew so i did too. lol

[Night Prowler]

Night Prowler is from the AC/DC song.

But my nickname at school is just my last name, although none of my mates call me it anymore, well instead of one xD.

[Dokuto]

My most common nickname is Matt becuase,well,Matthew is too long for most people:whatevah:.Then I gained the nickname "That idiot doing something stupid again" in middle school because apperantly I was on a 3 year sugar high,Mr.Sharingan while playing games and being able to repeat anything someone else did,Fishie because I have the tendency to censor myself with the word fish(ex.WHAT THE FISH?!),and recently Cabbage,for reasons I have yet to figure out.

Kopi Dokuto is a character I made up thats based off of myself.Plus is you mess around with it enough it translates to "Unique copy".

[hirose-kun]

I got my nickname from bakawolf

[silverwolf801]

I've had this name since 8th grade and I am in college now

[Prince Noctis]

I was previously //Kira.~

I wanted to change it to Kira, but I couldn't because I somehow violated some rules, so I tried Mizu, no, that didn't work either, so I put Not Kira just to see if it works, and as you can see, it did.

[obvious troll]

I plan to get b& for trolling in the future.

[xxBluebird]

Sheza - Because honestly, what else can "Sheryl" be shortened to? T_T

Most of my friends have either three-letter or one-syllable nicknames - Bec, Ang, Bao [but that's actually her name, not a nickname], Kim, Ani, Marz, Ace, Chlo, Cle, etc. etc...

[Alagdam]

Well my most recent nickname amongst my close friends is 'Don' which came about because my friend say I 'looked' like a 'don' so it came to be. As for most other people my nickname is 'PattyCakes' and that is because i'm pretty sure the person was high when they went to make my nickname Patty and had to make it unquie and special.

btw who can guess my name

[KELSØv3.0]

Nickname: Kelso; Kelso the Strange; Kesu; Kona-chan.

The first one was given to me by a fellow CB member and his family. His mom said they called me that because I reminded her of Kelso from That 70's Show. :/ Dunno how, though.

Kelso the Strange obviously branched off from that, and I started being called that because I'm a very strange person by majority standards.

Kesu is how you say "Kelso" in Japanese, so some of my friends and my boyfriend calls me that.

Kona-chan came from the anime Lucky Star. One of my girl friends said I reminded her of Kona, so she started to call me that.


I think that covers everything. > >

[Xkavanger]

Kava was given to me by N0s. It was extracted from my CB username. =]

Sooslan means 'shut up' in Turkish and it had derived from my name... only Mia and my sister call me that.

Nelly/Nellz dates back to year 8 when I used to wear a white sticker under my eye... well, you know what/who I'm referring to. =p

Muffin was my 'lurk' nick on IRC... I was caught and some people call me that. >_>

Ren(-chan) is my real name translated to Japanese. Only Ishi-chan calls me that IRL.

Lady Eclair started from Shino. I was looking for a 'Brothel owner' name and he was talking about having eaten one that day. So I adopted it and now apparently I'm filled with cream and smothered in chocolate. >_>

Swasman derived from my name and was given to me by one of my best friends.

Kavalava had been given to me by Mimi/Miyagi Rikku. I think it was because that rhymed with my initial nickname. =p

[Joan]

My nick was kinda easy to figure out

I just needed something a bit more international

so I just found an international version of my real name : )

Easy peasy

[shaberry]

"sha" or "shasha" derived from my real name
"shaberry" given to me by my bf *grins*

[RogueofRogues]

My nickname is rogue. i have had it since my football days in high school, American Football. Coach told me when i was in practice i was the single most stubborn, meanest BRAT he had ever seen, at that i listened to no one but myself and did what i want, regardless of others, so he nicknamed me rogue, now mind you, the whole defense, i was linebacker, even in college, got nicknames, so one night we went out and had them tattoo'd to our arms, all of the linebackers did. i still have mine, and the name has stuck ever since lol.

Rogue.

[Lethe]

Val = Shortened version of my first name ("Valerie")

Vi = Shortened version of my middle name ("Vivi")

Savi (with an emphasis on "vi") = Uncles and aunts gave me this nickname as a combination of the number 7 and my middle name. The "se" part of "seven" didn't really fit with their native tongue, so they changed the "se" to "sa," and there you have it.

Kitty / Gataki = Nickname I gave myself online, meow meow.

XP

Rose-my middle name

[Gowansweetpea]

[II Xion II]

Acording to the occidental horoscope im ACUARIUS (element wind)
Acorgind to the oriental horoscope Im a SNAKE (earth element) (and i was born first day of new years, 8 hours earlier and i could have been dragon of fire element :lol)

Well... Im acuarious, that is related to water and I am a snake... so it can be a Water Snake, mysticaly a Water Monster, therefore ONI= demon MIZU=water.... its not quite accurate, but who cares :sad

so OniMizu means Water Demon/Water Monster.

Wow. I got so many nicknames. People just come out of no where with them and they stick. Some people call me D, other D-Wreck, D Rod, Wiley, Fox, Lock-ness, Locky, DW.
I think My favorite is Wiley Fox, just because the story behind it was fun. I was hanging out with some guys at my old barracks back in the day and some new guy, just got back was chillin up there. I came up and intriduced myself, and one of my buddies called me wiley, so this guy, asks me if it's wiley like the fox. He was talkin bout wiley coyote, but he was drunk and effed it up. That simple mistake had my entire BN calling me Wiley Fox until someone called me the lock-ness monster...that got shortened to Lock-Ness...
