[AngelOfRage]

i go under a few different nick's but My current one is the one i use for the PC game Starcraft, lots of people had really Dark / Gothic sounding names so i just followed suit! + i think it sounds kinda cool and most people just shorten it to Angel.

[Coucou]

Mine is a French colloquial word for Hello. It's generally said with some enthusiasm and is more or less the same as COOEEE!
Ahem.
Anyway I started using it back in about 97-98 when I had a French pen-friend, Dominique (from Martinique). She started kind of getting obsessed with me (as so many women are bound to do ) and her e-mails to me all started with Coucou! as if it were my name. I liked the sound of it, and she was cute (don't tell my wife I said that) so I started using it as my nickname. All say Ahh...
Or not.
My real name is Peter Brown, but that sounds kind of ordinary :|

It was around this time that I started drinking White Lightning.

[Slowazz]

Well...
I came up with my nick in my modem days, when i got disconnected so often, and my speed would compare to typing in the binary code from a printout paper on to the screen... (Hmm don't think that made sense )
Anyways as my nick at first reffered to my connection, I have now begin to live by it

[PaFF]

One was booked into a hotel with my Greek mate Vass Chalkias as Mr Paff & Mr Chalkass. Vass has called me Paff ever since.

[(flicker)]

Mine is just the name of my band(but with...get this....brackets!). Not terribly exciting. Have had many over the years but am sticking with [flicker] now. Easy to remember for my poor addled brain...

[Maverick]

Random nick picked out of thin air.

[bigmak]

most boring story. The company I used to work for a couple of years took the always took the first two letters from the first name and the first from the last name to make short names. That made me MArkus Kaufmann -> MAK. I used to work in Research and was the first in a new team to bring a new product on the market. So my boss called me Big MAK (because he always had these odd ideas to call people with their short names. Especially when they sounded like something wellknown to others.). I changed company, but kept the name.

[Pondrew]

Mine is my surname followed by the last three letters of my first name.

People began coming up with it (independantly I might add!) back in my university days and it's stuck ever since.

[jellybaby]

Mines my wifes fault ! She has 2 jellybaby tattoos on her arm, and she thought it would be 'cute' to use it

[SystemicAnomaly]

Simple....I'm the biggest Matrix fan ever (and i look like Neo)

[bosshogg]

I was on a train travelling from Ilford to Liverpool Street in summer 1996. A colleague had introduced me to IRC the night before and I was trying to think of a suitable nick, and first I was going to use "Roscoe" after Roscoe P. coltrane, but then thought bosshogg sounded better, and it's stuck ever since - even use it for Halo pc.

Funny thing is, I didn't ever really like Dukes Of Hazzard...
