TheCracker - my dog Jake's nickname

Jake - Jacob (his naughty boy name) - Jacob Cracker - the cracker.
 
Meh. Me and Blake were messing around with GTA 2 I think, and starting making our own storylines for everything, so we decided to come up with names for ourselves (this was when we were a lot younger). I came up with Jimmy, he came up with Eddie (randomnly), and we couldn't figure out a last name, so I said as a joke: "How about N/A?". Blake goes: "Hey, that's actually alright!" So we both spelt it out into a word.

It's stuck ever since.
 
I used "somebody" back in the old Doom/Quake online days - it used to look funny when "somebody kills XXXX" would appear on the screen. It kinda stuck from there.
 
phat_pengiun
Vell, my old username, which i also used for my email addresses, was the initial o my first name next to my last name, and i used to ave an avatar and a motto that the penguins will kill us all, so i thought, why not phat_penguin? But an admin misspelt penguin, so i stuck with pengiun. :)
I've been meaning to ask you about that - do you want me to fix it?

On the original topic, 'Duke' is my real nickname. When I signed up at my first forum (about Neons; I had two at the time), I managed to get Duke. But at every other forum, it was always taken, so I just gave up and started using neon_duke everywhere. That's how I initially signed up here, and spent my first 3 years or so. Then, when I signed on as a Premium Member, I saw that Duke was surprisingly available, so I dropped the first part and added the capital.

i've always liked your username - always made me think of Toyota Supra's tho! :dunce:
 
Everywhere else, even on my e-mail, "ookami" is my moniker. For those who don't speak japanese, it means wolf. Why "wolf"? Well, being a "military brat", one doesn't tend to stay in one place very long. Having a hard time at making and KEEPING friends (due to contact problems), I found that my last move would be the last and hardest one. The entire time everyone I knew had internet and I didn't. Until one day my parents (in what I will forever consider a very much unexpected and confusing action) got a computer and internet. Needing a moniker befitting myself, I figured an animal would be cool but what KIND of animal? I thought and wolf came to mind but I knew that everyone and there mother used "wolf" or "dragon" something as there name. So "okami" was born--sorta. I didn't want everyone mispronouncing "ookami" as a long "o" sound as the sound in "few" so I used only one "o". Then I found that this was a common spelling of "landlady" in romaji (the English equivalent of Japanese). So I used "Ookami" in other forums, explaining it was more llike "Oak" for the first syllable. Well, after three years I got bored of it, so when I came to this forum, I took the color red, my now favorite creature--wolf, and added what I want to be in about year--a racer.

I used to want to be a pilot for the Air Force, but at the age of 16 an very unexpected heart-problem has all but eliminated that possibility. They are VERY selective of their pilots, unfortunately for me. :( Next best thing I figure is being a race car driver. lol

Wow, I thought you were just a mustang fan ! :)
 
Mine comes from my Socom 2 name. I made it cuz a lot of people like to talk crap to me on my old name on there, but I ended up shutting them up by owning them on there. Therefore came up with silencer and added the Xs cuz my friends name was xXSniperXx.
 
well mine started off when i first started gaming online, i played F22 lightning 3 and went by the name of mike for a while(ya i know pretty gay), so i got recruted into a squad and the clan leader who became my good friend told me i should come up with another name, at this time ED EDD and EDDY was on tv and ED said ButterToast, so i took that as my first Username, i was buttertoast for about 4 months then people started calling me evil and stuff because i was all badass lol. So changed my name to EvilToast and i has stuck with me for 6 years now. :dopey:
 
I just got mine out of nowhere. I like Supren i guess i kinda got it out by Supra or something but the name sounds good to me and it's been w/ me for a few years. :)
 
Talentless
I'm sure I've answered this. Some other thread, I believe. It's self deprecation.


I thought I answered this to! It must have been in another thread, but this about the time I posting like crazy... hmmm strange.

Mine goes back to high school days. My best friend and I were into Bond 007 movies, and we gave ourselves the agent number of 069. Obvisous high school reasoning. He took Wonder as his code name, and I took Magic. When I signed up for aol, it became my screen name, and I have had ever since.

It works on other levels: I am from Orlando, the city of Disney Magic, and The Magic b-ball team. I also in a DCI corps out of Orlando, called Magic of Orlando. Lots of tie ins, to many to even think about ever getting rid of it.

did the boxer ever have a Turbo & Super charged version, ever, at one point? Jeff told me it did, but I haven't seen anything on it.
 
My name is from a brand I think. I saw it once... It was a snowboarding brand and I've always wanted to snowboard, but never have had the chance to actually do it. OR, my other theory is that I was trying to type Spider, but messed up. Don't remember, I've had this username since forever. Anyways, the "V" is Roman Numeral for 5. My favorite number ^_^
 
got it from the lecturer. it was krans or something like that. its french i suppose. in english it means something like a coronet. i hate the sissy s at the end so i replace it with z. tried to register an email account with it but someone already took that :ouch: i put another x and i been using it since then .. its been 5-6 years ..
 
I've used mine for ages, thge first site I registered with I used this name, it was when I bought my first car which was a 1.9 306 diesel and it was sloooooooow and I used it as a kind of joke since I wasn't able to go fast. Since then many have presumed it has something to do with the game Live for speed but that didn't come for a few years after mine :D. I don't use it when playing online anymore so I might use a different name in forums soon as well because it' s got nothing to do with my car anymore (although what I drive now is still crap).
