My Dad's name is Hank. My friends used to call me by my Dad's name. As a joke, my friends also used to call my Dad Hanker Pankerton. So the nickname was shortened for myself to Hankerton

I am one of those cool guys who believe that you lack self-esteem or are a paranoid skitzo if you use anything other than your real name.

It's the name I use if I don't want my real one known....real person by the way, but no relation (besides Adam if you believe in Christianity)

Simple: 21 years of pizza shop experience (2 of those years done concurrently as I worked in 2 shops - one to help a friend.)

Then I got the email: For only $20 you can receive your bachelors, masters, or even PhD, and you don't have to take any classes. All based on experience. Well, it didn't take me long to realize that.. (j/k)

Pizza_guru got old quickly.. mr pizza didn't have any sort of ring to it... drpizza just seemed to work.

I'll be honest though - I'm sick of this nickname.

I'd rather be "The Master of the Red Crayon" again, but that's too long.

Easy enough. Real name is Michael V Haynes. Initials are MVH. Type it out and you get Emveach.

I have a 300M...couldn't really think of another username. So I got the demon part once I saw this green icon.

Started going online with bulletin boards and MUDs back when they started. Everyone had inflated egotistical usernames and had nothing to back them up. They were false security blankets for those people. I went the other route. I claim to be a dullard, moron, idiot, whatever. Then hopefully my posts show otherwise. And when they don't, people can't tell me they weren't warned.

A nice benefit is that it is one of the more common words that isn't taken on any forum or anything anywhere. I get the same username wherever I sign in without resorting to adding numbers or making it longer.

You could always just go with Master Bator. :D
