Explain Your Nick...

Optikus

Roffle that is brilliant... a german opticions.

frodi

Reading the hobbit in school 1976/7 LBI, (long before internet), thought that frodo was too naff for a nick name and came up with frodi for meself. years later using it I found out that frodi appears in norse and scandanavian sagas. Frodi was a norse king and father of cormac. 6 years too late guess one of my sons name.......yep cormac.

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

Stagger Lee, innit? Nick Cave covered it a few years back.

Mine was a nickname originally given to my girlfriend by a mutual friend, after the character in Fortycoats who spent his days rummaging in the rubbitch dump for treasure, as she had a propensity for acquiring old junk that people were chucking out. Mind you she did live in an extremely rich town where people would regularly throw out grand pianos because the butler's daughter sat at it.

Healio

I once bought a player called Juan pablo Healio on championship manager, and my surname is healy so i adopted healio.

dangerman

when i was signing up to boards after years of lurking i was in the middle of modelling a superhero in 3ds max. he was bright red and and really cool, kinda like deadpool but with much less detail:



i wanted to have a really tacky obvious name for a superhero, so he was to be called dangerman.

shortly after, i lost access to max and lost the files for dangerman. but he lives on, wherever there is injustice blah blah blah.

oh yeh, its nothing to do with that old tv series.

Now that i look at it ..it kinda looks like a Blues Brothers memorabilia shop??????

Bard

At the time of joining boards.ie, I wrote quite a bit - poems and short stories and the like. I haven't really kept it up, but the nickname has stuck.

zotteken

My nick is a dutch word. People around me use it to tell me i am kind of good in telling jokes, making fun, etc. I believe in English it would be translated as silly. When i first got my Internet connection i didn't really know what to choose as a nick. Then i decided i needed something descriptive and i took zotteken. Just so people now i like to have fun, make jokes etc.

Cheers
Zotteken

neoB

Character off of an anime I like and she goes by the name black lady. So I named meself neoblacklady as in the new blacklady and it got shortened by a mate so its "neoB"

Blisterman

I was logging on and asked my brother to suggest a name, he said "how about Mr......man."
"Mr Man" I repleied, "how about Blisterman."
And so Blisterman set forth on his quest.

Aava

My nick means "Open landscape" in Finnish.

Blah.

dead air

dead air = silence

i don't say much

sprinkles

i like sprinkles

Jim

Ho ho!

Dr. Loon

I really don't give a shít what any of you are called. It's me that's important. Voop.

Spalk0

Only Fools and horses!

Apparently sounded like him once! :rolleyes:

sanncoo

it's the first letter of my name, some of the letters from my middle name & some from my surname........nothing mad about that.

The_Goose

After going through 4 others i ve choosen The_Goose because that was my great granfathers nick name and all 300 of my family are known as goose's( i know the it should be geese but because its a name....ah **** it) so i decided on something meaningfull and it suits me.

BolBill

Short for Bollicky Bill

Canis Lupus

Well started out playing half life.... went for a noobish name like "wolfenstein" (how sad) but shortened it to Wolfy (i thought it was funnier) and the nickname stuck with me in college.... so i started here and acted the bollix in one of the forums and got banned then decided on a clean sheet and new start so converted to Canis Lupis ie the latin for wolf (grey wolf to be specific) and have behaved myself since.

Civilian_Target

I called myself Civilian_Target because as soon as the Austin Powers movie came out, Random_Task wasn't original anymore. And since I was crap at Q2 back then I thought it would be a quite appropriate and funny nick. And since I own civiliantarget.com, I can't really change now...

I'm not a complicated person.

pickarooney

Right, Clodagh, that sounds plausible.

em, if your 19?

My name originated long ago when the computer i used was in a room with no heating and so every night my kunclkes felt like i was cycling gloveless downhill in a snow storm in iceland. As a joke I called myself ShiverinEskimo.
I now own shiverineskimo.com and my live gamertag is ShiverinEskimo. So here it is to stay.

I would like to see BabyEater's explanation....

McFairyland

well I got my name, because I'm a huuuuuuuuuuge Will & Grace fan and Jack(Sean Hayes) is my fav character. When he was a kid, the other kids made fun of him because he was gay and they caled him "Jack McFairyland" instead of his real name "Jack McFarland"....I found it funny and I stuck with it.

omnicorp

mine is self explanatory.
I was trying to find a decent web host so I was turned to Boards.ie and I chose this cos at the time I was editing my site on another window.

I still remember my first thread...
