Well my first online game I played was America's Army, and I needed a gaming nick, and I figured everyone else had something cool, so I sat and thought what did I really like at the time, and what seems military gaming style like.

So for me XFiles was the show, and I took Fox Mulder's name "Fox" and made it into my nick as ---> DasFox, german for "The Fox" 😉

Funny such a simple military style name and I've never once in all the years now playing online seen anyone using this nick, so guess what, that's me smoking your rear, j/k 😉

ALOHA
 
Started as a joke on a chat board, everyone was picking food nicknames. I picked Snickers.....everyone shortened it to Snicks....that stuck.
 
Chusteczka means napkin in Polish.

The backpack represents the backpack I still carry with me each day to work, since college.
 
My real name is Sevag.
Billy Batson is a comic book character, he is the boy who crises out "SHAZAM!" and is hit with a lightening bolt turning him into Captain Marvel aka. Shazam. He is from DC Comics, as powerful as Superman (even more so in the 4 issue accalimed mini series Kingdom Come) and is said to have a purer heart
 
I love this thread... Had it saved for a long time.

Long ago, when I was registering for an AIM acct, EVERYTHING was taken. I got angry and picked DEF, since my 1st name is Doug, and everybody thought they were clever and called me Doug E Fresh, and then just used my initals afterwards. Short and easy to type. It's been rare for it to have been taken anywhere... 🙂

I got pretty good at the original Unreal Tournament, and used the same nick. It was kinda funny how many people would yell racial insults at me when I was a white guy from Indianapolis.... 🙂
 
I almost posted another thread, then guess what?
I used the search and shazam, there was already a thread on usernames.
I want to know a few specifically, like Freedomsbeat212 and PAB.
Mine is Soundmanred because...well...I'm a soundman at a local church and I have red hair.
Proceed...

PAB = pyscho andy's brother.. he used to post under his bro's account PsychoAndy back in the day but you could tell who was who as he signed the post with PAB. Then I believe the mods made him register a different name. PA never posts here anymore.
 
LyS (Lose YourSelf) was my age of empires2 clan, sword I guess I liked that sword picture on dungeon siege box cover.
