Why do you have the name you have?

[[Cameron]]

Just sum stoopid questions.
Why do you have the name you have?
Why do you have the avatar you have?
I have my name because me and some friends were making a film and in case it was crap we didnt want our names in it thus Alec Whitechurch was created. Funnily he also has a fake name Alex Whitechapel who has the fake name Devlin O'sheamus.
My avatar is there just to be cool.

[Captain Mostly]

Yeah, that IS funny. Because like, your fake character, ALSO has a fake character, who like ALSO has a fake character, and so it's like the guy at the top is just someone pretending to be someone pretending to be someone pretending to be someone else!
I see what you've done there! Pretty damn clever! HAR DE HAR HAR

[Babar]

Exactly! Why can't you come up with an original fake name? Look at me, in acting I have adopted the name of Daniel Radcliffe. You don't see me copying it from anyone do you  ?
Let see... I have my name because my parents gave it to me, and I have not yet found sufficient reason to change it. Oh, you mean my forum name? Well, thats just a nickname I had from the time I was immensely fatter than I am now. It sounded alot like my original name, except with a much rounder and fatter feeling. My avator I have because besides looking very much like a Babloyi, it also shows my outlook on life, that is to say the outlook of a slightly deformed baby that appears to be in the late stages of mental retardation

I think that the nickname and the avatar issue has been explained like 1,000,000 times before...  

[Minimi]

farlander : Just press ctrl+c, ctrl+v  

Ok my nickname is because first I watched austin powers and liked the name Mini Me... and then I was abit playing with that name and Minimi sounded cute, so I took that as my nickname.

My avatar is the logo of my company solidus software.

[Privateer Puddin']

Custard comes from the mega good cartoon, DANGERMOUSE

(Custard Mite of Glutt)

then Privateer Puddin' comes from Talk like a pirate day

[Gemmalah]

Well, my avitar used to be a dragon sitting on a sign saying here be dragons, it's from discworld books where a dragon santuary has that sign outside. but the avitar broke and i havn't got round to fixing it, now its just a cute red X.

My name well long story cut short.... my baby bro is called josh and he is real cute so i made up names for him. Joshykins, joshey woshey, joshster, baby josh, untill i came up with Joshielah, so everyone in my family and all my friends had a lah added to their name. much to their annoyance.

The way it is spelt is due to AOL, Gemmala was already taken so I added a h on the end, no email or forum has anyone else with this name, guess it's cos its real stupid.

That explains a lot...

euhm... how do you mean? well... to add a little more detail to the reason, is that Mini is pretty fun in comparisation to my length of 206cm... so i find that fun

Oohw farlander... im curious about your nickname!

[Robert Eric]

THIS IS MY NICKNAME BECAUSE I LIKE PORN.

Really, please go take a look back and find the other fifty "how did you get your nick" threads.

[Nacho]

I meant, more or less, that a person who has a nickname based in the silliest film in history and an avatar based in the most brilliant general in history (Is him Iulius Caesar, isn´t it?) necessarily implies duality in his personality. (Do not interpret this as I am saying that you have some kind of squizophrenia .sp?, of course...)

I don´t know how to express this... let´s say that sometimes I really like your posts, for example in CL, and sometimes... I don´t...

But this is something totally expectable from a person with duality in his personality.  

P.S. Farlander was a X-Wing pilot on the Manual of the X-wing game.

[JimmyShelter]

My real life nickname Jimmy is not always available as username.

The best Rolling Stones song is Gimme Shelter.

Draw your own conclusions.

[Nine Toes]

Well, my sn used to be Bodyart (I've used that nick for years), and I figured it was time for a change... So I adopted the nickname Dr. Jekyll?~MR. HYDE! to reflect the duality of my personality (one minute I'm happy and humble, the next minute I'm depressed or angry).  I may just very well choose another nick until I feel comfortable with it.

My avatar is just a pic I found on a site that specializes in theatrical contact lenses.  I thought, "that kinda looks like me when I'm having one of my mood swings...".

[Dave Gilbert]

Well, ah.. during world war II my grandfather Martin Goldberg was in the navy, and my grandmother Minna Goldberg was trying to find a job.  She couldn't get one.  She was convinced it was because she was jewish.  She wrote my grandfather to say that she was changing their name to "Gilbert."  She got a job right away.

Two generations later, a squealy kid named David is born into the family.  25 years later, young David ventures onto an internet forum for independant adventure games.  He tries a few nicks, but eventually gives up and uses his real name instead.

And there ya go.

[Pumaman]

According to my novelty placemat, a Pumaman is a homosapien blessed with the strength and stamina of a wild animal.

[TheYak]

And, inexplicably, the power to fly and phase through walls, allowing rapid travel by crossing dimensional threshholds.  

Topic's been done before but what the hell?
Yakspit's my real name, I have mean parents.

[LordHart]

I always used The Ultimo for e-fedding, and have been using it as a nick for ages. Then someone asked if I was portuguese, because it means Last...

Then I changed it to Os Último Quão Queijo ^_^, which roughly translates into The Last Like Cheese... and then the little japanese emoticon thingy is there because it makes me look happy, when really, my life is horridly bad...  

Um, not sure if my image server is working, but my avatar is from Unreal Tournament, which I though was cool...
