[BallPtPenTheif]

Lyrics from a McLusky song called "Gareth Brown Says"...

All of your friends are cunts
Your mother is a ball-point pen thief
Notoriety follows you
Like beatings follow rain
Bring on the big-hitters
You've got a prophets name

 

[Simski]

My name is Simon and "Simski" was the nick my best friend started calling me when I was 7 years old.
I dislike having someone call me by that nick offline now as quite honestly, it usually just sounds silly...
However I like using this nick as a forum or game name.

 

[lord kamina]

mine came from the love of gurren lagann's kamina but over here my mates call me Aniki after my cosplay haha

 

[Natural Hazard]

i destroy everything around me from phones to musical devices i always accidently casue damage to them, so much its natural hence the name Natural Hazard. Or Hazards Fury on XBL which is just what my mate used to call me when we played Rome Total War.. because i was always an aggressive fighter.

 

[FLSH_BNG]

FLSH_BNG

I always had way too much fun with the flashbang grenades in counter strike.
I got rid of the vowels because I always liked greek history and it turns out their first alphabet did not have vowels.

 

[Anarchemitis]

My name...
in real life I don't have much for a nickname. My brother calls me 'beeoo' to annoy me.

 

[Dreamnuker]

One day i was reading a gaming magazine and i saw a nickname Dreamrunner. I thought that it's a cool nickname. So i started mading up something similar to that. After few minutes i came up with Dreamnuker. Now it's 3years when i'm known as Dreamnuker, and the best thing about it, is that i'm the only one who uses it, so i never see "This nickname is already taken".

 

[Music]

I always try and use Music first as my alias. If that is taken (90% of the time it is) I use Holiday Cookie, since I love them so much . But I use Music when I'm modding forums or working as a Gm or something, since it's memorable.

 

[TMAN10112]

I use this name for most things, mostly because my parents always called me T, instead of Tony most of the time (they still do). In my family almost everyone has a nickname, including my two (little) brothers who we normaly call vin and balboa.

 

[internutt]

I've never really had a nickname. A name like Chris just sort of fits I guess. However, my last name is Nutt, so I have had many people call me that over the years.

Internutt, however is something I came up with, quite clever I think

 

[wewontdie11]

Well I randomly got my username from an old Slipknot poster I used to have on my wall just above my PC monitor.

Most of my acquaintances have taken to calling me "Big D". I'll leave the reasoning behind that nickname to your imaginations.

 

[Dr Pussymagnet]

My Escapist name is mydogisblue because...well......no one else uses it.

 

[Zombie_King]

I'm simply the king of zombies. What more explaining can be done?

Seriously though, at the time I joined this website, I was getting into zombie fiction more and more, so I decided to make this my name. My friends call my Zombies through Live (mostly because its my XBL name) and I'm famous around my friends for my zombie love.

 

[KendayTheAbsolute]

my friend jon gave me the nickname kenday because he didnt want to say kennedy (i dont know why)
I added "The Absolute" because i like it

 

[memejoey]

My name is Joey, so...

me me *points at self*... Joey.



Real life nicknames.. I've never had any. Everyone just calls me Joey or Joe.

I have the best name ever though, so its cool.

 

[JJDWilson]

My nickname is J because people couldn't be bothered to pronounce the "ames" part of my name.

 

[meatloaf231]

Well, I would do anything for love.

But I won't do that.

In life, my nickname is The G. My last name begins with a G, so my middle school math teacher used to call me Young G. Well, my peers couldn't call me young, so they just called me G. Being that I was the only G, it turned into The G. It really stuck. I know of a few people who probably don't even know my real name. Heck, even some of my high school teachers called me The G.

 

[Neurowaste]

My name here is the one i use in most places, that, or Neurotoxin, both came because i like playing with chemicals and stuff.. and cause i went as a hazmat guy one Halloween when i was little.

 

[ccdistancerunner]

ccdistancerunnner is a combonation of the sports i did in high school. CC- stands for cross country, especially since most people abbreviate it XC. Distance- I was a distance guy in track. Runner- describes both of the sports i did. It's pretty easy. Plus no one else has it because it is insanely long.
I also use Hobagins. Ho is part of my last name and another guy at my high school was once said "your like Frodo Bagins. So I became Hobagins after that. I use it as my name in every game.
