The origin of your nicknames

[Anthony.]

I looked for such a topic and seen none ;) . Close if there is one...

So the title says it all, where is your nickname coming from?

As for mine it has 4 reasons.

The plane

The truck (an Humvee with air-to-air missiles)

The group (war criminals hunters after WW2)

Oh and it sounded good to me :D .

And yours?

[Bryan]

Are you talking about on the forums or in real life?

On the forums I use my real name. In real life everyone(except one person) calls me Chester, and obviously I got that from Chester of Linkin Park.

[Terry]

Hmm...

Well, on these forums, my 'name' used to be L!nKnP4rKGrL12. I just used that one because...I like Linkin Park. After that, I changed my name to my real name (yes, I gave into the 'fad', I admit it), Terry. Guess that's it.

[Nikki]

Haha...because this is my real name...I guess it's obvious where it came from.

But I remember a few years back when there was a brief "Sylverline" stage.

Basically I was playing around in an art class (Whoa...I was like...13 then) and accidentally knocked a tub of silver paint all over my back (without me noticing). It left a big silver line down my back, so that explains it really ^_^

Kat is just a shorter version of my name. Simple enough ;)

[Amy]

My name on here is what some of my friends call me.

I get called Amy (because thats my name :P ), EvilAmy (I have no idea why :mellow: ) and Amyls (computer username at school).

Interesting... :wth:

[Hana]

How did I came to "endleen"? Well...I dunno....I was just searching for something nice...I've been using this nickname for long and it's really original, so I don't have problems when I want to register somwhere - "endleen" is never taken :P
It's probably some mutated version of the name "Eileen"...I dunno why, my real name is way different! :D

[Andrea]

My name on here is EastCoastPunk and I got that because I live on the east coast and I listen to punk/pop-punk music a lot. ;)

[Ppr:Kut]

I like the meaning of the song "Papercut"(yes, it's telling me...) ... but I like to write it like Ppr:Kut ...

[Chrissy]

Well my name used to be FreeFloatingAngel. I am a big fan of mythology and the three words seemed to flow together nicely.

The origin of "Chrissy?" Well my parents used to just call me Christina all the time until my sister, who had a nickname, suggested I get one. So, she suggest Chrissy, since it's a common nickname. It finally stuck after I introduced myself to people as Chrissy and wrote that as my name on all my tests.

Then my sister decided to call me all sorts of strange nicknames, like Christer Cabbage...that was weird O.o

[Cal]

well fred durst, because im a huge LB fan + he is my idol


my original, was ViSuAL, i just liked the word :D

[PauletteEMLPGC]

Well mine is PauletteEMLPGC because my name is Paulette. Not Paula as many people think. Em is for Eminem, my favorite rapper. LP well kinda self explanitory, favorite band. GC, Good Charlotte second fave band.
I had this name for awhile on a bunch of boards. I use FrickinEH a lot now because I say it all the time.

[The Doctor]

Im DJ Nate because my name is Nate and im a DJ, nuff said

[Neil]

The LPA had this "I want my real name as my username phase" ;)

[User Name]

I only gave into the 'fad' a while after the mods and admins changed theirs. You all copied me. :lol:

[Will]

My original username was Kuro-san, and it was Japanese for Mr. Dark. :lol: Then I changed it to Akuma, which is Japanese for Demon. That's always nice. Also the nickname that caused me the most controversy. So I changed my username to my real name, Will. :chemist:

[Darcy]

I've had so many nicknames but they've only lasted a week.

I was Getto because I had a hat and a hood on like Eminem does (aww I can't stand Eminem) and my friend started singing an Eminem song so I started bobbing my head as a joke and she yelled "You look ghetto!"

I was Whore for about a day but I don't really know how that happened.

Currently, my friend calls me Bitchface because he's allowed to, and I call him Jackass.

Shatterday is a Vendetta Red song

[Jamie]

Mine just randomly appear out of know where. I probably have loads that I dont know about

[Alacrity]

One day I was on dictionary.com by wierd chance and found Alacrity as word of the day....it seemed like a cool name so I adopted it for the LPA. My friends call me Fifi, short for my name...and my other nickname is VIP....Very Important Poodle...b/c of Fifi lol. I have another one but its hard to explain...so yeah

[Gaabjuh]

Well my real name is Gabriëlle so short for that is Gaabjuh.

In normal life people call me Gaab (what means yawn.. so if I yawn, at least one person wants to be funny.. If you undersytand)

My best friend calls me LinkinDimchilien (sometimes) Linkin ---> Linkin Park and Dimchilien is my name is elfish.

Really sometimes people call me Gaabestaartje because in Holland you prenous @ as = aapestaartje.. so put a G in front and p becomes b...

I want to be called Amadeus / Amedee / Amédé because it sounds cool!

[Casy]

My real name is Katharina.My first english teacher called me Kathy and soon everybody was calling me Kathy but the th is very dificult to speak,so I changed it into Casy (and a C looks much cooler than a K).

[RiverJudeDylanScott]

um. i like river phoenix. and as for dylan scott... that's just a puzzler...

[_PianoPaPercut_]

umm.. RiverJudeDylanScott, was the one who created my name...^_^ hahaha.. thanky turd..!! and yes.. why do i love it sooooo much?? well.. i love the piano..! and papercut.. is a LP song.. which is a coincidence.. cos it was actually quite unintentional.. heh.. mOOoOOoo.. ^_^

[numbfuse]

[Debus]

My hair is ginger/auburn. Simple as that and i hate people taking the mick out of it so that is why i am Ginjarulez :P

[LornVourkolakas]

I have many nicknames. LornVourkolakas stands for ForsakenVampire. I wanted to be original. (Yes, I have a thing for vampires) Another nickname is WerWolven, meaning werewolf. Just made it original. My friends call me Yuri or YuriChan. Its japanese for lesbian. :P~ As for my real name, Yulaidi (You-Lie-Dee), my mom made it up by mixing up different names. Theres a girl in my class though with my name. Just spelled differently. I don't like her cuz she has my name. :P

[May]

this is my favorite Evanescence song and i thought it was kind of caughty... but now my username is usually Spitfire but it changes often. Also my real name is May. No one calls me May. Most people call me Maya or May May (grr.. never call me that though!)

[ailuj]

julia=ailuj

I don't have story to tell.... :chemist: by the way Julia is my real name... :)

[Mark]

LP = Linkin Park
FAN = Fan
05 = My fave number. I put a xero in front because LPFAN5 doesn't look as good. And I say "LPFAN-oh-5", zero five doesn't have the nicest ring.

[Chris(tmas)]

From the start to the end..



My first nick. was Linkin-2003.. no idea why. Then people called me monkey-spanker.. then i got tired of L2003 and i changed it into Chris because Christiaan is my real name. And Chris is just shorter ^_^ and Chris is a tough word! B)

[Aaron]

My original name was 'Newfy'. Nothing really special. I'm a Newfie and I didn't know how to spell it so I wrote down 'Newfy' and from there on that's who I was.

Actually, no, my first naem was 'Stupid Newf'', because it's giant stereotype and I didn't care, sooo...yeah.

Aaron, I hopped aboard the 'Change My Name To My Real Name' train and joined the club. Now look at me. I'm still nothing special. Damnit!
