Title: How did you get your nickname?


iggy - April 24, 2003 04:28 AM (GMT)
C'mon... we all know there's a little secret story behind the reason you chose your nickname. Spill the beans!

My story is: My brother always used to call me Iggy Fartnatius, and I thought it was funny. Then I started liking everything that had Iggy in it, like Iggy Koopa, and Iggy's Wrecking Balls (just the title, I swear). Combined with the fact that the name is extremely unique, and is the abbrevation for Ignatius; I chose this name.

Bijou - April 24, 2003 04:36 AM (GMT)
I liked the white hamster with the unusall name, and so being the fourm's first member, I got it ^^

TrainerAbu - April 24, 2003 04:47 AM (GMT)
..I know there was an old topic like this..

Here are alll my nicknames I'll explain in order from when I started using them:

1. Cooldude - I told you I was very modern aged back then in the pimp teen chat days -.-

2. Yeahpika - I dunno how I got this name, people always made fun of me for it. I changed my sn cause it was embarassing.

3. Yeahpika166 the screenname - the 166 was my old bus number, I created it when I was obsessed with the girl on my bus and wanted to talk to her on AIM. My old screenname was just yeahpika, but after my computer got a viruses and I rebooted it and got AIM again, I forgot my curssed password x_x

4. TrainerAbu/MartialArtistAbu - Luuuccyyyy, I have a lot of 'Splaining to doooo... *Wah!*
I was obsessed with the name Abu because.. When I made my first game on RPG Maker 95, I changed all the "default names" of the characters, EXCEPT the black indian named Abu who I changed to a cool blue haired dude. TrainerAbu is who I call Abu Jr from PokeQuest2 (trainer as in Pokémon Trainer, not as in Martial Artist trainer or whateva), and who I called the Original old timed Abu from Pokéquest 1, and who I called the Abu from wayyy back in time. Yes, all those 3 trainers are all related and have the same names x_x
I named my main characters Abu on every game I ever made. RPG Maker 2000 there was this mad cool MartialArtist that was like <3 <3 who people usually call Alex since that's his name in the demo starting game it comes with or whatever it's called. Abu Series 1 is based on This Abu and the gang (Doran the elf swordsperson, Neko the sound caster Talking Cat, Axeu the manly gay pirate obsessed with panties (this was before I was obsessed with panties too..hmm..), Marlie the Femine MartialArtist who likes Abu the same way Amy likes Sonic, ehh and some other less important charcters.)
But I still named every other main character Abu too as I said, like the main characters on my Sim RPG Maker 95 games, on my Rom Hacks, and all my other projects.
My Online Games have a tedency of not having main characters, but The Palace, Hamtopia (Ham-Ham Clubhouse), and RPG World, also tend to have Abu.

What is Abu series 2? 'tis the series based on Abu the Ham..

SWEET FORKING ABRAHAM (SP) LINCOLIN (SP?), I rambled about Abu stuffff too much..alwell. Thems are where my names comesies from.

Lila - April 24, 2003 04:49 AM (GMT)
1. Snip- my coci name, I liked the beanie baby cat.
2. Lila- it's my real name

iggy - April 24, 2003 05:11 AM (GMT)
Lila, I don't think I've ever known a Lila. There's something about the name that I really like.

Abu, that is a huge story! It's pretty interesting though, and it falls in line with your past, and who you are. The panties thing is quite coincidental ;)

Bijou's a cool name too, my 3rd favorite hamster.

Lila - April 24, 2003 05:37 AM (GMT)
Thanks! my whole name is Kelila =/

CoreMaster - April 24, 2003 11:09 AM (GMT)
My nickname started a LOOONG time ago. My friend and I were playing a game of Armored Core 1, and I kept winning, and he was a REAL good player too. He then said. "You are a MASTER at this, man." So that's where the name CoreMaster came from.

Bijou - April 24, 2003 11:39 AM (GMT)
=D other nicknames I use


SafiMoyo: This is my RPG char lioness. I was looking for a new AIM SN so no one would know what it means and I don't need to change it over and over edpenting on what I'm really into. Once I joined the Furry Fourm, I wanted people to know I'm nice and I wanted to use swilliah (same laughage lots of TLK names are in (like Simba. In english simba means lion)) And so I used SafiMoyo. Safi means pure, moyo means heart (and mosi means one) and so "PureHeart" is what it is in english. (SN's that infunced "SafiMoyo": "SafiMoyoMosi")

Vulpix: First online nickname. This I got at TPM (The PokeMasters) (Site currently dead >=D) I met Bowser and Yoshi there who became my good friends and first AIM frineds, and there was another boy who was 17 that always PMed me, I think he was flirting, I think. I used this name later on at PE2K ( pokemonelite2000.com ) and became one of the fourm's active members, I was widly known at the fourm as the little friendly fox ^-^ AND I WENT THERE two days ago, to see that I havn't posted there for 5 months and they still remeber me! I was nominated "Nicest Member of the Month" award too, and I havn't posted in 5 months ;-; They like me, they really like me. (SNs that infulenced "Vulpix": "BijouTheVulpix")

Kiara and Kovu: Yes, my full name was "Kiara and Kovu" at DS (Disney Sites) ( http://boards.disneysites.com/ ) this place infuenced me to love to RP, well it and Kuro Mew (she taught me how to RP ^^) Kiara AND Kovu? This was a great way to RP with myself! Bowser found it annoying :P but hey, alls well that ends well. (SNs that infulenced "Kiara and Kovu": "KiaraAndKovuLion")

Simba: This is what Yoshi's friends called me a long time ago (I don't talk to them any more ;-; ) it wasn't a nickname really, it's just because my SN was Simba2088. Not much on this nickname... (SNs that infulenced "Simba2088" "CubSimbaLion")

Bijou Fox: ^^ not a nick name, I just use this when it when something asks me for my first and last name.


And who is "SeAnfmsBASSIST"?
(Fear the randomness peas~ ^-^)


I love Abuuuu ^^

Rivermonster - April 24, 2003 11:54 AM (GMT)
I got Rivermonster from an old legend in my family, I think I've posted it before, if not I can post it if anyone is interested...anyway, My grampa told me the legend a loooong time ago, I thought it was cool, and so I used it as my screenname, and I havnt ever changed it since. River, my more common nickname, is simply my full s/n shortened.

*shrug* Thats about it, lol.

Oxnard - April 24, 2003 01:13 PM (GMT)
I think mine is self explanatory. wooooooo

Commiebot - April 24, 2003 02:35 PM (GMT)
I had too many nicks to remember...

My oldest name would have to be The_Obsidian_Dragon, back in my old IRC days. I got that name from just... good o'l fashioned thinking up names, really. Then came DrCossack, like Dr. Cossack from Megaman 4. Thats the name I use on IRC currently. For the last one, I used krazykraken, back when I used to hang around starmen.net. Kraken was always my favorite boss of EB : . J.C. Kai is the name I used on Palace. I have no idea what the J.C. was for... And i've had at least 10 nicks on the Groupboard Main and UK demos. The one most used there now is Kurai.
Commiebot isn't a totally original idea, its just my odd interest in communism mixed with some guys fansprite.
Right then, time for me to shut up.

divot - April 24, 2003 02:56 PM (GMT)
my first dog that i ever had was named divot so i just did it after her

Strawberry - April 26, 2003 01:58 PM (GMT)
Oh yay! I love doing this!

CandyBell: Here, I was looking for a really cute name for one board, but I didn't want two members to think that I was copying them. So, I sort of combined the two names to make CandyBell, but they really would have known I was "Using" their names. It wouldn't have mattered anyway, because I couldn't have changed my name on Ikonboard, and I was afraid to ask the Admin. So, I used it on PE2K!

Arishia: It's my name, Alicia, translated into direct Japanese! My real Japanese name is Arisa. But in Japanese class, I'm gonna use Kiko or Michiko. Anyway, I used to be OBSESSED with this name. Other variations include CardcaptorÅrishiÅ (Star Boards), Arishia Miamoto (PE2K, the name of my own Yu Yu Hakusho Spirit Detective), Arishia Miamoto and Kobeekan (PE2K, Same person and her little blue cat thingie), Spirit Detective Arishia (PE2K, self explanatory.), and Arishia (Pokemon Community, again, self explanatory)!

Strawberry: Here we go. Okay, on this, there was a member on Pokemon Community that had the name Orange. I thought that it was cute, even though I didn't know if it was the fruit or color. I wanted a name like that, so I thought I'd make a message board (Never happened..) and use the name Strawberry or Yellow. I went around asking my friends, and they all voted Strawberry. So, I liked the name, and here I am now!
-------
PrincessPITA1015: Princess Pita is the name my aunt gave me, and 1015 is my birthday

ArishiaStar: This was my name for one of my old sites, and it had Arishia in it, so it became my screen name.

CandyAngel1530: Heh, I got tired of CandyBell and moved on...

RadicalEdward457: Alright, I LOVE Cowboy Bebop, and Ed is my favorite character other than Spike and Faye. So, yeah...

By the way, I remember you too, Bijou. Though, I thought you were Matt and Vulpix before you came back and he changed his name.

tigrillo(stan) - April 26, 2003 03:09 PM (GMT)
Tigrillostan: i got this nick (Tigrillo) because of my friends, they started to say, hey "tigrillo" this and that, and i get used to it........tigrillo in mexico is a killer who is now a prisoner in a maximum security prison......

Sauce - April 26, 2003 04:20 PM (GMT)
Wow...I always thought Tigrillo was Stan's Mexican name..you know, it looks like "tiger", which is what stan's pattern looks like...

Well, I've had a million. The only ones you guys will probably ever see me use anymore are Breakman (on AIM, BreakmanMKII)...Breakman is what Megaman's brother, Protoman, was called in Megaman 3 after he escaped Dr. Light's lab and was trying to hide his identity or somehting. Protoman's my favorite MM character, and he looks cool with the little mask he wore under the name "Breakman". The MKII part DOES NOT MEAN MORTAL KOMBAT 2, it means "Mark 2" as in "the 2nd tier" or "the 2nd level" or whatever. Like, you know. Yeah.

Sauce = Stan + Boss. I used Stan for a LONG time, a few times, in the near-year I've been at Hamtopia. One time I switched ot Boss for a short time just for the sake of change, and Bijou started calling me "Soss" because she didn't know which one I wanted her to call me. Then Cait comes in and says something like "Sauce O_O" and voila, later I ended up using the name just to goof around. Everyone seemed to like it, and even though I've changed my name multiple times since, I guess this time I'm just stuck with it. Really, it's a horrible name. A really crappy name, that I really, really hate. But I'm using it anyway.

Neo Bakura - April 30, 2003 03:25 AM (GMT)

1. any random nicknames because I didn't think of a nickname yet.

2. Black Howling because of certain reasons which I can't reveal

3. Neo Bakura came from Neopets I wanted to have a name from Yu-Gi-Oh in neo pets then I thought of Neo in Neopets then Bakura. it sounds cool sometimes I prefer to be called Neo only

Neo Yami
Neo Joey
Neo Mokuba
Neo Devlin
Neo Malik

iggy - April 30, 2003 04:10 PM (GMT)
I'm a fan of completely original names; but any one of those Neo ____ names sounds okay. I think Black Howling sounds the best.

My nickname "Dander" has nothing to do with that stuff that comes off dogs and cats. It somehow evolved from Alexander to Dander.

Quixotic Muffin - May 27, 2003 11:25 PM (GMT)
Quixotic = just like me = idealistic, a dreamer, chivalric, hopeless romantic, and is taken to describe the personality traits of the character, "don quixote." Someone decided to make a word out of him. And it happens to fit me perfect.

Muffin... I think I used that because of this book from Maine that I read. It was about how some woman hadn't been born in maine, but called herself a "mainer," which is an exclusive name for maine-born people I guess. lol. Anyway, so one woman said to her, "If a cat gave birth to kittens in an oven, would you call them muffins?"
Also, the term, "floppy muffin," used to amuse me a lot since three years ago when I would picture muffins flopping around. Oooo and for the record, my mom looks like a fat little muffin. IT's so cute ^-^ Muffins just always come into context.

rosey-ness - January 1, 2004 05:32 PM (GMT)
hehe

hamtaroluver56- Well, I love Hamtaro (the show) and 56 was supposedly my lucky number or something. 0_o
hamhamluver29- I liked the ham hams and 29 is the day in January that is my birthday. I personally don't like this name but I got this name a while ago when I first started chatting on drawing boards and in chat rooms and my mom was watching and she's like "Ah, why isn't your name hamtaroluver29?!" So then it kinda stuck.
CP-Eh, well all of my friends were saying "you're a cool Person." So then I shortened it to CP. I also got it because of CALIFORNIA PACIFIC. yaaaaay.
Yami Cappy- Yami means Dark. Cappy is cute. End of story.
HamuChan- I had written a fan fiction and the owner of the website hamuchan.com and she loved it and put it up on her site and so this is probobly the name I use the most.
Pokemon Traner- "Traner" is actually "Trainer," I know it's spelled wrong. But I had just gotten inot Pokemon and when I went to HHCH's drawing board there was a girl with the screen name "Mewtwo" there so I created the name and she kept calling me "Pokemon Traner" instead of "Pokemon Trainer" so I began to use that name.

and I'm not even gonna start on how I got the name rosey-ness. Way to long of a story.

Merica - January 2, 2004 07:40 AM (GMT)
