Nicknames , Who?

**Doorway** · 06-14-2007, 03:59 PM

Here's a little thread that might be interesting. Everybody has a nickname that they use in games , sites (like this one), messengers etc. . The question here is how or why do you use the nickname you use.
Mine started years ago when I had purchased my very first computer. Right away I was told "type nickname here" , so right away I just started looking around the room to type in anything I could think of. Believe it or not my first try was "Wrigley" because a pack of gum was on the table. I got the "nickname already taken , try again" LOL , so I typed in the very next thing I saw and yep, that's when >Doorway< was born. I've stuck with it since. Anyway , that's my story , what's yours?

Mine was Easy....first 5 letters of my surname ,, SC is for saber corps and 95 is/was my squad #. Use a couple of others in the early days of cooping (Warlord, Jade Ring), but finally just settled on HUTCH SC95 and left it that way.

Good post Doorway,, should be intersting.

Im a Jimi Hendrix fan, when I started C4 in Oct 03 I was "voodoo", since there was a "voodoochild" already running around...after a couple of months I changed to "Watchtower" for the Dylan song(perfected by Hendrix) "All Along the Watchtower"....lol but all the Europeans asked me if I was a Jehovahs witness because their main publication is called the "Watchtower"...lol..anyways Im not Jehovahs Witness.....just Watchtower.....then I joined CFS in 12/03 I proudly added my *CFS* tags.

Pretty cool how you guys came up with your nicknames.

When I first started talking on the CB radio I was trying to come up with a handle and much like Doorway just looked around my surroundings and happen to look out my front window and seeing the car I owned at the time - 1984 Dodge "Charger" - well I think you can figure out the rest, I just carried the name over to the Internet.

How cool is this , pretty interesting how my buddies came up with their nicknames.

I always played arcade games when I was younger. When you got a high score you put your initials in. So when I started playing C4 that was the first thing I thought of when it asked for a player name. By the time I thought about making a kewler nickname everybody already knew me as RAB so I figured I stick with it.

W@tchtower*CFS* · 06-15-2007, 01:52 PM

LOL RAB I always knew what the initials stood for, I can see you winning at Ms.Pac Man and inputing "RAB" as the top scorer....LOL!!!! Makes sense that you would use them!!!

Blue I always wondered, now I know....

This is pretty cool....

LOL Almost 40 views on this thread and only five responses. I guess there are allot of people that can't remember how they came up with their name.

**Doorway** · 06-17-2007, 03:21 PM

Something like "majorpothead" I think?

I guess the names look a little bit strange for you. But in germany you can find the name as often as "Bob" or "John".
"Joggl" is the short way of "Joachim". My sister called me when I was a baby and later I found a different way to write than others. Most times it´s written "Jockel" and this is also an acronym of "Jürgen" and "Jochen".
