Just tell how you came up with your user name and/or how you got it.
Well my story is...
I was playing madden 2002 and i needed a new user name so i asked a friend to come up with something that sounded decent so he came up with this.
BTW my username has nothing to do with how well i play games or whatever else.......although i wish it did.

Real life nick name, nothing more (which is kind of a short version of my true name).

wooh...it will be long one.
Once, back 3 and a half years ago my friend gave to play game Operation Flashpoint. Before it i was kinda newbie to any kind of online websites and such stuff. So i started to look for some mods and stuff for the Operation Flashpoint and came across some fan site, too bad its closed by now. So i registered on it, and in username typed Abrams as nick name of M1A2 'Abrams' tank in game.
So now i use it everywhere

What is a bogan?
As for my user name, it's what I call my car, and I've assumed it as my screen name. Hecubus was a character (played by Dave Foley) that showed up occationally on Kids In The Hall, a Canadian sketch comedy show. Hecubus was supposed to be the spawn of satan, and pure evil, although he was really only a minor irritation. To that extent, the Intrepid has a reputation for being unreliable, although mine's only had a couple of problems, and has never left me stranded.

by Felixkissa
Propably 10 years or more back me and a friend of mine were playing Slicks 'n Slide and had to come up with a nick. My friend came up with Felix Da Cat(orig. Felix The Cat (The cartoon character)). Well couple of years back I had to come up with a nick for online and I remebered this Felix Da Cat, I liked it coz I love cats and like the name Felix(for some reason). My friend wasn't using it so I decided to use it. Ofcourse I wasn't the only one using that nick and usually it was already taken, so I turned it into my own finnish version Felixkissa(in finnish cat = kissa).
Hope that clears it

by Andre_online
My real name is actually Andre, as you might have known by now. The reason why I put an ONLINE in front is because, it is a common add-on word I use in front of my name to sign-up up for stuffs like E-Mail etc, because the name ANDRE itself has been taken. And an addition to that, I'll always be ''online'' if I'm checking forums, E-mails etc.
So that's why I chose "online".

I needed a nickname so I thought about Beastyboy first. That became DAbeastyboy whil I was playing NFSU and Beastyboy was already used online.

well my nick came about from the founder of Ferrari, who is as we all know Enzo Ferrari. it derives from the person not the "enzo" car but the man himself. i just add .ph short for philippines where i lived.
in other words i am the "enzo ferrari" of my country....

my real name is michael same as michael shumacher who drives a ferrari how ironic. :
