Indeed...
But I noticed that a lot of people have "fitting" names, but I guess It goes like thes: Parents choose names based on their character and the parents also influence the child based on thier character...

I sometimes used an image to sign stuff, where i took my initials JHB and merged them on the vertical lines... But then i decided that was stupid

I guess my nick speaks for itselves... My name is Vicky and for some reason (I can't ever remember which) it became vickyke....

hir3s means High-Res(High Resulition) I use 1280x1024 or 1600x1200 and I don't like low resulition.

Mine comes from my work. Most of the customers I’m in touch with are Spanish speakers and they cannot pronounce my real name Bozhimir (Божимир). So I started to introduce myself as Boso, later the colleagues started to call me like this and that’s it .

Keep posting people theres still many who have not explained there nicks yet.
And can somebody please tell me whats with the bunny thing??????

well...
when I saw the film "Faculty", I loved this nick, because the guy who called practically same is like me =)

my nickname is rooney because my friends call me like that.

My nickname Wijsje was given to me by some friends of the youthclub (Chiro). Wijs means means smart, and since I was one of the brightest members of our youthclub ( that's what they told me...) they always called me Wijsje.

my nickname is chejo because of my surname Chejovic. It was given to me in my grade school by my teacher.

My nickname is... erm... wierd...

Slashfoo = /foo

/ (Slash): also known as solidus, is a punctuation mark used to separate related items of information, it can be commonly substituded by the word 'or'. In Unix systems it also represents the root directory (/).

foo: Is the most common metasyntactic variable (in conjunction with bar) in programming topics.

Others interpret it a bit differently:
Slash: Saul Hudson, former lead guitarist for the rock band Guns N' Roses.
Foo: as in Foo Fighters, the rock group.

Hm. See if you can guess.

I used to use "mojomonkee" or "mojo" because it was something I picked in high school, but these days I just use "bconnolly" or "brianconnolly" because my name is Brian Connolly and I think online nom de plumes are sort of unnecessary.

Back when I first started using the Internet I was concerned with online anonymity, but now it doesn't really matter. I can't say I really care if people know what my name is or what I look like or where I live or any of that.

I see that there are many new guys (or girls) around here that have not explained there nick yet why not share it with us??

my nick is contraction from poland.
qvC - kurwa.. co :] mean in english wtf

Considering the large amount of new members ive decided to ressurect this topic, further explanation youll find in books topic.
