Nicks/names

since i was a little boy i was very impressed by native americans... loved the way they look and lived.. and there was winnetou.. chief of a apache tribe..

First when i started gaming online my nick was BEAR since my name is birhan and my friends shortend it to beer wich is a bear in dutch..
lateron i attached apache to it and become apache bear and later i started using apache..

Now im curious about your nicks, how u came up with them and how they evolved...

some are obvious and others not really >_<

Mephz comes of Randall Memphis (Nicholas Cage on 60 Seconds, my favourite movie when I was younger) and after that I transformated it first into Memph, next to Meph and finally Mephz.

Well, some school m8s saw my nick on MSN and they started to call me in that way, 1 week later almost all the class was calling me Mephz
Hi, dear webserver.

my first nickname was "disord3r" because I loved "system of a down - toxicity" so much.

at first my nick was:

budhacocha - this is smthn my mates made up which just means cochin (chillin) with a budha (weed/marijuana)

from there it evolved to just budhaz/budha
my name first name is Taavi and my second name is Tapio.
Calling ppl who's first name is Tapio with the nickname "Tapsa" irl is quite common in Finland and my big brother's friends always called me Tapsa also when I was little. Then some other ppl like my sister for example started calling me Tapsa irl.

So I thought it will be an awesome INTERNETNICKNAME too!
I prefer Assbat =(

my first ever nickname was playing qw on xs4all ffa server as "han's 7yr old son", 'hanibal' being my fathers alias

when i got my first pc i first took the name aliQ or something back in netquake

then i changed quickly to the nick "meezy" (which was my real life nickname and to some extent still is), but I eventually dropped the y when I joined my QWTF/Q3F clan (#eat) and became meez, which continued into ET

quite boring really, practically just my surname (Mees)
some retards accused me and razek of cheating
so i wanted to give them a message
they were right!
Parent
From the game freelancer, which had a ship called stiletto in it. >_<
Indeed, native americans just own.

When I was a child, everyone of my classmates dressed up as cowboys, during the carnival time. I was the only Native American.

But it was like in ET nowadays, I owned them all.
beNyy after my real life name Ben, but my nick @ mirc now is Marcury, after Fredi Marcury. :)
Fredi Marcury?
who was he?some kind of an actor shingybingy?
Parent
You mean Freddie Mercury?
Parent
With an a, Marcury. :[]
Parent
'Fredi Marcury'
And who would he be?
Parent
I took my name , fucked it up and added _V
I started with Wolf simply because wolves are awesome (and because I liked Space Wolves!). Later on I got bored of the name and went to Revolution which I found kinda cool too.
Finally when I got bored of that I mixed those 2 together and got Rewolf.

when i was like 10 i had to do this assignment on school wich was thinking up as much names/titles which would start with the same letter -> Gewerengerrit, Barry Badmuts but also, *random comic hero* and the Midget maneater.

well since i started gaming took Gewerengerrit and actually im stil using it:P

though i had some times i had to change my name since it wouldnt fit in the "clan tag" and my name wouldnt be complete. But im still using it from the very begin:P
mhmm... PaRzi from the beginning :D never changed it, only shortened it a bit.

Original Parzival, a little parrot out of a kid's book which I read when I was younger.
And cuz it was and still is one of my favourites I picked this name :D

used to be called redemption from my Jedi Outcast days and when I got into ET, I was tired of having to play laggy Spanish teams on the CB UK ladder, so I renamed to pedro. It was a joke at first, but then just kind of stuck.
daze aka dazer
Best Graffitii artist in my town
I had a MIRACLE whilst playing TOCA, you get me?
it is top secret.
I first used 'Slartibartfast' from Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy but everyone on i-netz called me "Slarti" or "Slarto", so I shortened it to Slarto. :o Dunno which one is cooler :)
Evilynn from Evil-Lyn (Masterzzz of teh Universe .. skeletors girl). I used it as well as Djanename (Back to future - Parties /Dortmund) and decided to keep it. Before i had 1 million different nicknames - none of them in use still. Sometimes i still use Snjezana.
my name is Kuhles

thats the way coOles comes from
My aftername Torndahl so they call me tornis sometimes.

and btw native americans are cool idd..
i will only say it when somebody is interested :D
xEN hmm i dont know my first nickname was DaMn then Youngblood the xenji then xEn and know xEN :D
I've always been using it. It's more like an irl inside joke or so. There is no right meaning what MTM stands for :p

I gave my name a very lame way.. I was around 8 years old so I just figured out some nickname for myself.

Non = non-stop never stop basically (haha)
i wanted to use some X so this why an x in my name butI had to connect somehow with the "non" so this is why Nonix
you watched/read too often Asterix & Obelix and you thought about what would be your name in their world
Parent
my name is fred and using that would be a bit lame cause there are like other people playing with "fred" so i just added a d
well since my rl nick got unintentionally stolen I had to come up with something else, don't really remember what were the very first nicks(they were pretty random though) but I wanted something that's not inspired by some random mythology people or from movies/cartoons/games/etc so I used eldani for like 3-4 months, then as I though that was shit started using dani/d4ni but that was also shit so I started using danl but as lowercase l looks shit I made it a capital letter and danL was born
ten years ago i needed a nickname for my brandnew emailaccount.
i just mixed my real name (eduard ehrlich) somehow and put a z infront of it.
lol i had like a thousand nicks before the one i'm using now (which isn't over_).

i think my first nick was burn_master, because that year i learnt how to burn cd's ^_^

then i dunno, i used quark once i saw it on some physics book, i used overminded (that i later shortened to over), i used fate, i used sid, i used karma etc...

now i'm using jimmy because i started being called jim (by guys mostly) or jimmy (by girls mostly) irl and i thought "how about stop changing inet nick and just use my rl one?".

and that's it.
mAus copied mAx
I've started RtCW as Vahset, which means "savage; wild" (ppl also found it hard to pronounce, it's a Turkish word)
when I started with ET I wanted to make a change, I made a list of 5names and toke this one out of it xD (didn't even know its a medicine)
stole my bro's nick
QuotePhlegmatic
Look up phlegmatic in
Wiktionary, the free dictionary.

A phlegmatic person is calm and unemotional. Phlegmatic means "pertaining to phlegm", corresponds to the season of winter (wet and cold), and connotes the element of water.

While phlegmatics are generally self-content and kind, their shy personality can often inhibit enthusiasm in others and make themselves lazy and resistant to change. They are very consistent, relaxed, rational, curious, and observant, making them good administrators and diplomats. Like the sanguine personality, the phlegmatic has many friends. However the phlegmatic is more reliable and compassionate; these characteristics typically make the phlegmatic a more dependable friend.


Just a finnish wersion of that word.
Was playing public on battery and shot someone down with the crew-served MG.

"was perforated by" -> p3rf0r4t0r.

p3rf0r4t0r -> perforator
perforator -> perfo

Exciting!
My name is Michal, in english Michael. I wanted my nick to be somehow connected with my name so I put 'o' to it, and then there was michaelo. But I had a friend that used to call me 'majkole'. If you say it (speaking like some polish word), it sounds quite similar to 'michaole'. And I just like it much more :P

Btw, really nice idea for a journal! :)
hm..my nick comes from my rl name.. double name = Jan - Martin .. after we have a lot of "Jan"s in Germany my classmates startet to call me Jey M and one time one of my friends writs this down like JeyÄm .. i liked is so much that i took it as nick in et and stay with that one :P
my first nick was gungy... and guess what, it still my nick

has something to with my lastname and everyone in rl calls me with this name since i'm 14 or something ( but can't remember why anymore xD) , so the nick was very easy to choose :D
i played in a game and saw some NPC called "paladin", it looked really cool, so i used paladin, and all my friends were lazy biatchs so the ycalled me pala :P
I've been called Panda since I was 4. My memory is a little hazy around that time, but I don't recall there being an epic story behind it.
My other nick being inyunyyn, which when it is decrypted it say Valhalla.
lo apache :p

My list;

Jaapie
Re5pect
BuLl3t
BuLL

and now I'm using the nick "abuzR" most of the time, cause it reminds me of jaCkie, my idol.

When I first started using IRC back in 2004, I was desperate to pick up a nick, and then my friend siad that it takes just three days..
Well, magic happened, and I started to think about latin birdnames & other stuff, and then it went like this:
First there is this bird:
image: buzzardfrance

It's called 'Buteo Buteo' in latin. I liked the 'uteo' part in the name, and therefor I started to make some combinations of it:
-> Buteos
-> Uteos
final outcome => Uteoz
i just had the idea to take iiky as nick at first it was iky but then anyone was like "hey iky= i kill you?" but it has nothing to do with it :D it was just a inspiration one day.
everyone was calling me Fasolka since i remember. But my mom was first who used it. She was talking to me, when i was in her tummy 26 years ago 0_o
My great example was my older nevue(?). He was the one who got me into RtCW. He used the name of a Belgian music band CPeX. I liked the idea of the -EX name so that's why after a while I came up with the name Fex. Before I played with Fex I used Wolfensteinplayer (random RtCW name =>) and die_another_day. But using Fex already for 5 years or so now =)
My last name (Belgium"Kennis") means in latin "scientia".
Hullu Pullo, my favourite club back then. No one could ever say Pullo right, like Netherlands Freedune for example. I decided to shorten it. There was someone with the name of HuPu already @ finpubs, and he was total ass, so i decided to be HuPo. After hanging out with mAke I made my H artisticly a small h and kept the P big. Big-P. Later on I noticed having 2 o's looks much cooler.

Though I've used other names long time too. Best ones:

MysticalHermafrodite
Omerta (until i found there's some other fin idiot with same name & someones created a clan named omerta)
Zuu (jew, zoo, zuu)
emAEtin/tussu
Theresca (friend's msn nick was scarface. i hit my jaw pretty bad 2007 summer, and so i took the name the real scarface and shortened it a bit to confuse people)
Static Pulse (goth namegenerator, based a mix channel for this name obsession, was really great time [hi2u loder aka Emo Homo])
harha&pupup0x (random cheating pubnames)

Now I'm proudly a {Jump'n'Shit}#1
thats great hupoo :D i love u

Me and my handball team were on a cruise several years ago, and had nothing to do. We were going to Sweden to participate in Stockholm Winter Games Tournament. Everyone was bored, so I started to rap and made fun of a Finnish rapper called Raimssi and that's how I came up with Maissi.
my first nickname was ken-san, couz of the manga kenshin, the dope girl called him ev'ry time ken-san :D
I have been using this since the day I got introduced to the internet, around 1995-1996, can´t remember. Had to create something to some site, can´t remember wich. Comes from my real name, Tommi.
Too complicated to tell you about it
everyone calls me wottel since i was 10 years old (dutch for carrot) cuz i love carrots. so ofc i use carrot as nick the ghost part was added later on wich is a to long story to tell.
my irl name:D
I was reading greek mythology and stumbled upon HYPERION the Titan god of light.

Also the name means "watcher from above" from the greek words hyper and ion, which seemed to be a pretty cool name to me ;)

So i decided to use that as my nickname when I started playing Quake3 Railonly Instagib *g* in Summer 1999.

Nowadays everyone just says hYp (in german: "hüp" - in english i prefer "hip" instead of hype)
its my real name but then how my matties say it
