How did you come up with your nickname?

[m4dswine]

It comes from the first song that Queen (the band) ever recorded under that name, titled Mad The Swine. That was my handle way back when I was at high school in the mid to late 90s, and it got shortened to madswine when I was at college. I had a brief stint playing Counter Strike when I was at university and you had to have letters and numbers in your handle, so I used the 1337 letter a. I've stuck with it ever since.

 

[kimbunney]

Well my name is Kim but when I was in highschool I use to watch the Hills a lot and it was a girl name Jenbunny on there, so kimbunney just kind of stuck.

 

[dyingforyou]

[lindas1983]

Mine iseasy and very unorginal, my first name with the initial of my second name and my year of birth, beginning to wish i left out the year of birth now, seemed like a good idea at the time lol.

 

[Babylard]

At that time, babylard was a nickname that my high school bf called me. (now an ex) it has kind of stuck on me since. lol

[Spruceitup]

Mine is Spruce It Up which is the name of my favorite glade holiday candle. I was looking at it thinking how I wish I got more and decided to name myself that!

 

[angelspice]

angel- being a good spirit/person with a little hit of spice- adding character because lets face it, being good sometimes gets boring.

 

[Saidir]

Why did this thread die out? I'm gonna be a bad mod and necro this since name entymology can be interesting, granted mine isn't...


Went to play some game online, don't remember which, my usual handle (Vyse) was taken. I happened to be reading the Wheel of Time books at the time, tried Saidin, taken, combined it with Saidar to get Saidir. Been using it ever since.

 

[cakewannaminaj]

In high school, an old friend of mine gave me the nick name Kay Cake which is perfect name for my initial, its K.C; I have been using Kay Cake as my name over the internet ever since then instead of using my real name. From 2010 I kind of, went crazy for Nicki Minaj, I was very obsessed with her, and at the time the whole "wanna minaj" thing was going around so I gave myself the name "Cake Wanna Minaj".

 

[MsPurple417]

Purple is my signature color. To be honest I love it so much that it's the sole thing that attracted me to Urban Decay when I stepped in a Sephora for the first time. The "417" stands for the day my bf and I decided to go "steady" lol.
