  4. n0thealthy

    n0thealthy Well-Known Member

    Well, mine comes from my hate of the "healthy" eating craze going on right now. It just annoys me... I'll eat whatever I want, thank you, I don't need someone to tell me to eat 3 portions of wholegrain, 5 portions of fruit & veg, 2 portions of seafood, etc, etc.
    The 0 is because when I was trying to create an email address "nothealthy" wasn't available but "n0thealthy" was and it just stuck.
     
  5. kougerai

    kougerai Well-Known Member


    I was called Kougerai when in school, and my friends call me Kotetsu, When I had my sword around, then Kosetsu the Assassin.

    The SolarKosetsu and LunarKosetsu are only to be used in Kosetsu and Kougerai is used.

    Kougerai was my first Nickname other than NapkinStack.

    But that's an entirely different story.
     
  6. BloodVayne

    BloodVayne Well-Known Member

    My username started back when I still played WC3 on battle.net. The first thing that came up to me when I saw the register account screen was blood veins, and since that was taken, I used "bloodvayne" :) . I've used more or less the same ID for every site, except for e-mail and personal sites.

    seiryu666 Member

    Mine came from a PSX game originally then i read up on it turns out its from a japanese myth. Theres a few ways of spelling it seiyu/seiryuu so i just knocked a u off the end (looks tidier) and its been my nickname wherever i go ;D

  15. XD9999

    XD9999 Well-Known Member

    mine came from laziness. I was in a hurry to check out the games so i stuck with "XD" which is character used for the exaggerated smiley, and the "9999" representing "always a bit more before completion", which portrays the imperfection of man.

  18. Luk7nk4

    Luk7nk4 Well-Known Member

    My name is Lukas, but i always used the short form Luky and one of my friends always used to call me Lukynka(which is a misspelled form of Lucy) when we played Tekken 3, it angered me alot, but he didn't stop calling me that.

    A few years later i got my hands on Need For Speed Underground 2 and i had a hard time coming up with a nickname for the profile, then this thing slapped me in the face- i'm gonna call myself Lukynka! It took me some time to get used to it, but after a half year i started to use it everywhere (school, friends, family etc...).

    But alas, on some forums (mostly czech gaming forums) it was already used, so i substited the y for a 7 and the a for a 4.

    It's always fun when some people mistake for a girl :p
     
  19. ClydeOne

    ClydeOne Well-Known Member

    Well of course, Clyde is my first name. I chose to end it with One, because there can never be another me. There will be another person with the same first name, but will be an entirely different person. In a shorter sentence: I am I.
     
  20. cjdogger

    cjdogger Guest

    I chose CJDogger because:
    A- My initials are CJ
    B- I love Dogs
    C- CJDog looked rather too small for me
    D- I wanted a new start from my past usernames as I wanted to be more grown up
    E- Something else but I can't remember what...
