My nick comes from the lead character of the anime Rurouni Kenshin. I choose that nick when I was a kid and I never thought of changing to any other nicks. So, this has been my nick from a long time.

Open dictionary -> Random Page -> Shut your eyes and choose and point out a random word from that page -> accolade.

Well I chose Spit because I wanted something that would be ugly. what's uglier than spit? especially when you see it everywhere in my country...

Well i came up with my nick years ago because when i was back in school i was always into Astrology and starmaps..

Thats what i was always doing so family members actually started calling me Starman, and then i just went from that to Starmax because my closet got maxed out with starmaps lol.

thats pretty much it...(Star).

I was a pretty shameless japanophile several years ago when I first had a need to create internet aliases, and I picked the name "WatashiWa" because it is the personal pronoun "I" which seemed kind of fun to me.. you know like those people named "Me" that you sometimes see on IRC.. but watashiwa was a long nick for irc so people would shorten it various ways, like wata or ww .. but the nickname they gave me that I liked the most was tashi. and then someone on an irc network stole the nick WatashiWa D: so i officially became tashi then, and now I almost refer to myself as tashi in real life, too ;____; and I'm still into japanese stuff but I've definitely grown out of the typical stereotype and for the record tashi doesn't mean anything in japanese.

When I was younger, I got nicknamed Underdog because of my last name. When I started getting online, that name was always taken, and I didn't like the look of handles with a bunch of numbers after them. I dropped the U, and can get the name pretty much everywhere I go online.

nderdog... Not highly original but you certanly are right about adding numbers to a nick, far better solution-- removing letters.

My nickname comes from the movie Yojimbo. Sanjuro Kuabatake is the main character in the move. He is a ronin (masterless samauri) who finds himself in the middle of two warring gangs in a small town. Using trikery and master swordsmanship, he is able to have both gangs destroy each other.

If you ever have seen A fistful of dollars, it is the same movie, Fistful of dollars was a remake. I know I probably buchered the description but just know I picked the name because the character in Yojimbo is very cleaver in how he does things and knows his limits as a swordsman. Go wikipedia the movie or rent it.

I like tigers and wolves - simple as!

My nick name is just another picky nick name, nothing is more.. Perhaps it can be associated with troy in the ancient greek histrory, or trojan, but it is not.. Just a picky nick name..

My nick comes from an old epic Beowulf. Im the king of Geats with Hygelac as my wife and Beowulf as my son, who soon fought the great monster Grendel. =)
