Origins of your username/nick?

[Jugernot]

Every once in a while I see someone with a username and it seems they picked a random object next to their keyboard and made that their name.... kinda funny.

needed 8 chars, wanted something to tie into hacking / science / pharmacy.

I have used alkemyst since the late 80's

 

[Aquila76]

Due to above average eye-sight that impressed my Grandfather (long story), he gave me the nickname Aquila ('eagle' for those who failed any Latin-based language). '76 is when I was born.

[440sixpack]

Not like anyone will read this and really care, but my handle came from the engine configuration of the Challenger in my sig... a 440 Six-Pack (440 cubic inch engine with 3 two-barrel carburetors for those who don't know). That and the fact that I suck at thinking up usernames.

[gamefreakgcb]

Made it up when I was 13 and had just moved to the States, was creating a swtichouse.com account, liked to play games a lot, had just bought a gameboy color, gamefreak was unavailable, added gbc (gameboy color)at the end, then flipped the last 2 letters to skew it up, been using gamefreakgcb ever since.

 

[Koing]

[Squisher]

Quake username, got it from what I did for a living. I worked in a forge where we heated steel up to 2250F and squished it into a shape.

Or, it could be what happens when I sit my fatass down on a jelly donut.

I am hoping this had nothing to do with him thinking you were a granddaughter until that point.
