Anagrams are fun, it would make a nice thread, but everyone would end up knowing each others names, and not everyone likes that idea.

It's Ed MacMahon. I remember working it out once, because it's similar to my surname.

munkeehaven

i bet none of ye will be able to work out my name from this anagram ==human cook ian am ....thats the only one that makes sense....go to this site if you want an anagram of your name= http://www.anagramsite.com

Fuhrio

A long time agoo i was in an Age of Empires clan.

5 of us started it and we had mades Nicks with "io" at the end of it.

Paddio
Serjio
Fascio

And i picked Fuhrio, after all Der Fuhrer was evil....and it is a war game.....

Heh, when pronounced aloud that sounds like "Naomi Man Choker" .

Also I've started a thread on the whole anagram angle...

Tivoli

my nick, was giving to me while working at home on the farm, emptying the slurry pit, (you try to stay clean doing it)

and its nothing to do with (quick google) this

Zoton

When i originally signed up on sin.ie i needed a name, and keysersoze was too long so i reckoned i need something shorter, so i had a think. Its kind of an adaptation of the Zoltan name from Dude, where's my car?, but i reckoned i couldn't use that name cos of the DWMC associations, so i reckoned Lord Zoton would be pretty cool, but too long so i shortened it to Zoton. I kinda hate it now, but since it's my name on so many boards i cant be arsed changing it.
Needless to say i was pretty p!ssed off to find out that its actually the name of some drug too, so i hadn't actually made it up. Damn.

In_Diana_Jones

Named after a porno flick...classy I am!

ChumpStain

I thought I heard it said in Futurama once but a friend said it wasn't so I either got it from that or i'm original.

Gyck

...Shortened from Gyck Ryder, an obvious term for someone who does rude things to peope from behind. I used it as a nic for q2 in work (obviously a few years ago) and then on to the net (and designed a pretty nice q2 skin to go with it, a lad with flaming red handlebar mustache, mohawk and aresless pants). I hopped around between that and Sister Ray for a while (obvious VU reference). I don't play a whole lot of multiplayer anymore (wayyyy to addictive) but still use the nic.

l3rian

some bastard already took Brian and never posted with it, or has been lurking for the past 6 years

eh... admin can you delete his nick and give me Brian as an early xmas present?

a lad with flaming red handlebar mustache, mohawk and aresless pants

screenshoot plz

Gordon

I was playing games on the internet and I needed a really cool *handle* so I thought and thought and thought and passed some suggestions round to my friends and family and they all agreed that I should go with this one. It's cool because it makes people think of Flash Gordon and sometimes gorgonzola and gin and even bourbon biscuits.

So I took the *nick* and I haven't looked back since. Quite happy I managed to get it actually, I must have gotten in just before all the others signed up. FLASH!

naitkris

nick came from a combination of letters in my name, pretty boring really...

elivsvonchiaing

Frustrated so many times trying to register my real name - just dreamt up a futuristic name - Von Chiaing - if I recall this was after reading that Chiaing Kai Chek's wife was still alive and she was 102 or something in 1999 or 2000. She was regarded as "royalty" by chinese american's apparently - I speak of her in the past tense - but for all I know she could still be alive! <yup too lazy to even go to google!>

Elvis - well it just felt right - (not that I eat sheitloads of hambugers and take prescription drugs like smarties! )

Velcrow

I wanted a name that would stick!!

dazberry

Daz is a nickname I picked up in a job nearly 8 years ago - no-one else calls me Daz - but if I happen to meet up with the old work crew - its still Daz.

Daz was taken, so having just watched Tombstone with Val Kilmer telling a couple of unfortunates he'd be their huckleberry before shooting them - I appended the berry.

D.

Elessar

Elessar is the elven name for Aragorn in LOTR.

Quite possibly the best name, ever.

angelofdeath

slayer song, no big story

NocturnalDonkey

I like to go out at night and I'm hung like a donkey.... :eek:

CareBear

Well I guess I just love those CareBears! They make ye happy!

based on an actual wrestler callled "The Sheik"

DivX

i was downloading a good few movies at the time...

just happened to be the codec they were compressed with ...

Caliden

Saw in a Lord of the rings extract some1 wrote and posted on the web, made a total mockery of the whole LOTR books but the name seemed cool

TwoShedsJackson

A semi-obscure Monty Python sketch. Unfortunately Arthur 'Two Sheds' Jackson is too long

Shortest name I could find for a mmporg called "Acheron's Call" years ago. Liked that it was short and have used it since, espacially since its the only one of my nicks that I haven't seen used anywhere else online. (Apart from the klez virus, lol)

X-Dawg

I'm a mean-ass street rapper.

lol. Nice...
What a dumbass. Shreiking "sheet"

Pet

Mine comes from a song of the same name by A Perfect Circle, about overprotection of children, and how parents shield them from the world, but in the process keep them from informing themselves or making their own decisions. (At the time I registered, my best mate was starting to question all the things his parents had told him that he had assumed true, about immigrants, homosexuals, drugs, etc.)

It's also quite catchy.

AdMMM

and your sig is from the the Tool song "Die Eier von Satan", which I originally thought was a big dictatorship song, but really its just a recipe for a cake

Anyway, I got my nick after being posed the tough task of selecting a name for Quake. I just decided on Murderer ...

stagolee

mines from a mississippi john hurt song about a criminal from the old days , sometimes you see it written as stack o' lee but i reckon thats not right cos if you listen carefully to the recording it sounds like he says stagolee , used it ages ago to sign up for something cos i was listening to it at the time. used it for pretty much everything since cos im lazy

smuckers

Smuckers was the dog in The Seinfeld ep The Andrea Doria, Season 8 to be precise.

monkeyfudge

Because I was trying to register a dot.com and fudgemonkey.com was already taken. So I settled with monkeyfudge.com, which I have grown to prefer.

Why monkeys and fudge?

Well they're both just great, regardless of order, aren't they...?

shiv

shiv is short for shivergirl, my first-ever handle
i just like the way it sounds, and it looks sexy

ionapaul

Easy one here...my first name is Paul, and the first stock I ever bought (and made a nice profit on back in the bubble days...ah memories) was Iona Technologies.

Used to use 'funkdoggz' a lot, as I like funk, dogs, and the letter Z. My friend got 'funkenstein' on hotmail back in the day, lucky bastard. However I used to join chatrooms and mods, etc, would go crazy, thinking 'funkdoggz' was 'f**kdoggz'. Funk is a much better word in any case. Get the funk out of town. Shut your funking face. And so on.

CyberGhost

CyberGhost = I appear on the forums, but don't stay on the forums for too long, hence cyberghost - appear-dissapear in cyber space, I don't know why I stayed here for so long! but I really love this forums!

PeadarofAodh

Had a demented Irish teacher-biggest character I've met in my life. He used to call us by our Irish names because he didn't want to say our 'slave' (english) names. Even though I'm english the name stuck and now everyone i know calls me peadar- sounds a bit cooler than Peter methinks :cool:
