Where do you get your nickname from?

[Perfect Balance]

I wanted something kinda cool, and I like cars with a near 50/50 weight distribution. So it worked. Then, as it went on, it started fitting in more. People would comment in my gallery and make comments like "You have the PERFECT BALANCE of colors in this picture. Little things like that. Or sometimes I would talk about settings on a car, and phrases like "You need to find the PERFECT BALANCE between etc.....

I like it, it can fit into a lot of different things.

It does become "lead boy" occasionally. I'll let you figure that one out.

[red70mach1]

My classic Mustang is where I got my nick from.

 

[CDailey]

One of my favorite cars. If I had to change my username, it would MBE55AMG.

 

[HACKr]

Motorola RAZR and plenty of software tinkering time...

My other name (Apollo1900) was not meant in anyway to bear any resemblance to Apollo 440. I wanted my Freewebs name to be that of a Greek god. Apollo (the sun god) just seemed to click, but that was taken, so I just attatched the first number that I came up with after it...

 

[TS]

TS is short for TS020 (not Tater Salad)

 

[SRV2LOW4ME]

I drive a '93 Prelude SR-V, and my gf is always saying my car is too low, and when it came time to chose a nickname, the lil rhyme just popped into my head. 💡

 

[Omnis]

Omnis - Obviously, My (Marc's) Nerdy Internet-Self.

 

[Sideways_Skinny]

my name comes from another long story, but to make it short, one day i was out riding around on my old pos katana 600 '93, and my buddy was in front of me, and happened to look back right as we went over a dirt patch. well, he never saw it, so he rode over it just fine, i was going to be smart and try to avoid it...yeah, instead the back tyre jumped out sideways, and from what my buddy said, it looked like i meant to do it. plus i am 6 foot 2, 145-150 lbs.

Well my real name is Jason,and my nickname is QP.

QP=quarter pound?

 

[El Gigante]

Resident Evil 4, lmao.

 

[magburner]

My username was taken from my America's Army name (because I use the SAW, and I'm always running out of ammo), and from a favourite BMX when I was a child - The Raleigh Super Tuff Magburner.

 

[WallRunner]

Mine comes from the old days of Jedi Knight, Dark Forces 2. Where I ran on walls to avoid getting hit by other online gamers, and it just stuck with me. I even wrote it on my sports bottle by "accident". That's how it came to be.

From,
Wall51

 

[sar593]

My name is César, but my brothers call me sar, 593 is the horsepower of a fully tunned Lancer Evo VI RS in Gran Turismo 2

 

[Ram-Rod]

Need for Speed III Hot Pursuit.

 

[xXSilencerXx]

It's my Socom 2 name that I use for everything now. It's like the silencer on a gun except I silence my critics.

 

[Omnis]

It's like the fat in my chocolate except it doesn't go to my hips.

Haha. Cliche, but, I'm just messing with you.

 

[Wolfe]

"Wolfe" is a shortening of the name "Wolfgang," which I chose to be my internet alias a long time ago (I decided for some reason that a silent "e" was necessary. Yes, the "e" is silent. I bet most of you thought otherwise. ). Actually, I was almost named Wolfgang, but that idea got shot down, along with the alternative of making Wolfgang one of two middle names.

2 x 7 = 14, my lucky number.



In real life, my nickname is "Bron." This got started when my best friend hopped onto a laptop and IMed me from 4 feet away one night. He mistyped my name in his IM and wrote, "uh oh, looks like i'm going to have to swear at bron!"

Need for Speed III Hot Pursuit.

I remember that!

 

[angelboy52]

Have no clue. I might have been stoned/drunk when making one, lol. I guess it stuck every since

Is your other middle name Amadeus?

 

[3-Wheel Drive]

Unlike many it seems, I don't really have any backstory to my username. When I decided to join this site, I started thinking of possible usernames, and "3-Wheel Drive" just popped into my head after literally about ten minutes. I liked it (I was aiming for something unique and maybe a bit quirky), so I just went with it .

 

[Wolfe]

Is your other middle name Amadeus?

I only have one. The "two middle names" idea was abandoned with the "Wolfgang" one.

My full name is Baron Vaughn Wittman. No joke.

 

[Omnis]

Identity Stolen. Haha. Be careful. That's kind of a cool name, though. It sounds war-ey.

 

[Wolfe]

If identity theft was that much of a problem, the Member of the Week threads would be a much more popular source for the thieves than this one.

Yeah. I live the life of someone with a pun-name.

 

[Max_DC]

Max_DC is Max_Dreamcast ... yes the sega machine... well long long time ago, in the last century actually, I wanted to register somewhere and "max" was already a registered username so I decided to take the DC from my first import console...the almighty Dreamcast which I still like very much. However I don't use that nick anymore. My new internet nick is "Wangan"( or Wangan-san, Wangan01, depending on what's availible). Wangan is a part of a highway between Tokyo and Yokohama ( with many street racers on it ) btw, I drove it in real life and I thought that would be an appropriate name for a racing and Japan fan....

Edit :

Mine is an anagram of 'Gran Turismo'... 💡

WTF....lol great

 

[Jetboy.]

Holy shart, does this thread ever die?

Uhm, well, I guess I have to submit something to be constructive... uh... My name has actually nothing to do with Aviation. Just going fast.

Jetboy

 

[Master_Yoda]

Some song I heard...

 

[StevieMo]

ZOMG old thread.

 

[Colinod]

Colinod-simply a shortening of my name, Colin D. O'Donnell. (With the omission of my middle name.)

 

[Master_Yoda]

ZOMG old thread.

That's a wierd way to get a name..

 

[viperpilot]

viperpilot, because since the age of 4 i always want to own a dodge viper someday, so it reminds me of my dream.....
