My nickname came to me when i made several accounts on other sites with spelling errors in the nickname (about 3-4 accounts) I didn't knew english well back then... So i desided to take a nickname eRRoR ^^ (Yep, i know it s a weird story)

*EDIT* I guess I still am a bad speller :D

Pff. where dit it comefrom. UHhh. Started out as Mystic_saiyan back in the day (with my kid brother, Energy_saiyan).
Mystic_saiyan came from seeing Gohan in action in the series somewhere.

Then later on, as I moved on to other communities I thought that I would need something a bit more specific as there were (apparently) quite a few Mystic_Saiyan's around. So I started brain storming, anagramming, etc and eventually Mystacx came out. Which later transformed into MystacX which is why people call me Mystac all the time :p But Myst will do :)

You mispelled weird. :)

I was initially "the 2nd Son" as when I registered, I had no keyboard and merely copied the coolest phrase I could find from a text document.

I then became Dokutayuu due to my interest in the Japanese language and the desire to go online and never find someone with the same or a similar name to me. Dokuta- means doctor and Yuu means a variety of things involving advice or style.

My name came from the soccer player.

The reason I used this specific one is because I needed something catchy and short, which I won't forget. Using it for about 3-4 years in everything.

In case if it was already taken my alternative is either deco123 or decole.

Why won't you guys post your secondary/emergency(in case it was already taken by some bish) nicknames?

Well, I only used this nick in this community. Back when I was the tender age of 14 and thought that you needed to fit the theme of the community, I foolishly adopted a DBZ-inspired name. I didn't want to rip a character's name directly from the series (as, even though the community was small at the time, there were still plenty of SSJ_Goku_insertnumber types posting). Instead, I decided to use a play on words, and thought of a word that rhymed with "Buu". Bingo-bango, I registered as Majin_You. 8 years later, I absolutely hate the name, but it's how people here know me.

That last point also explains why I registered as "Maj" in the NNK community. People know me by that shorthand, and the community is largely made up of people who also post here, so... yeah.

My usual nick these days is "Bobman", which would likely take a year and some change to explain. Suffice it to say that it's the brainchild of an inside joke between me and a friend. Bob is not my name (nor is it anything close to my name), but Bobman, nevertheless, is my preferred nick.

My original name on the 'net was Hybrid. I don't remember why I picked that name, but whatever. When ESF 1.1 was out, I wanted to join the SL clan, but I wanted to join them as someone new and not already established within the ESF community. So I was at their forums on the register page trying to come up with a name and the banner on the forums said SubSeven (or maybe it was an ad? I don't really remember). For some reason I liked the name so I went with that. After a little while I changed my name to Subliminal which was shortly changed to Sublime which was finally shortened to Sub.

I don't think i'm going to be changing online names again.

Kynetik is just a play with words of my name (Kyle) and my tag for my art, whether its music, paint, animation, or game.

Sometimes I shorten it to just KyNet, just because i like bad puns and the Terminator.

I've been using this name for quite some time (since at least 1997 I think). Karrde comes from Talon Karrde, a character I really liked from Timothy Zahn's Star Wars novels. KNR actually stands for Knights of the New Republic, and old Jedi Knight clan I used to be in from like 1998. Good times, really :) Damn, now I wanna do some JKII no force (aside from Jump) sabers matches :p

Thought it was a spambot. I'm going to ban him, but leave this thread here since it's actually quite interesting.
