Abhay · 23rd March 2006, 12:30

No frankly, I got tired of having to create usernames at many sites so decided to go with my first name.

That was unnecessary, Keshav. Your nick is self-explanatory, and we all understand....

satish_appasani · 23rd March 2006, 13:07

When the web started, very soon i lost track of my user name in various sites. Since then always my user name is the same....

amitoj · 23rd March 2006, 13:45

I got tired of using weird nicknames everywhere else. So i decided to use my name as is here.

veyron1 · 23rd March 2006, 13:53

well, what can i say; i'm a veyron fan....the fact that it's a technological marvel never ceases to amaze me...in the cyberworld, i prefer to be veyron, not just here, but EVERYWHERE ELSE- including xbhp....

comfortablywacky · 23rd March 2006, 15:19

I was wacky from my childhood! and later realised i did so comfortably !! Hence the name!!

Sorry for the sad joke!!
I myself dont know what came to my mind when I kept this name

S@~+#0$# · 23rd March 2006, 15:27

Good thread Mate! I have often wondered the idea behind some of the usernames and signatures.

My name is Santhosh and I decided to come up with a username using non-alphabetic characters. This is the first web-site where I have such a username and frankly I found it quite difficult to type and was cursing myself for the idea

. Now, I am used to it.

hkanitkar · 23rd March 2006, 15:34

great thread mate... i am amazed to see so many interesting stories behind the nicks...

BTW i am posting this just to clarify that i am not the cricketer guy.
( i know him, he's my distant cousin. and i know another guy with the same name but no connection whatsoever )

Conan · 23rd March 2006, 15:43

Well, i started out by browsing bullet sites and had planned to name my bullet "Conan", when i bought it.
Since bullet looked bulky and muscular like Conan the barbarian.
So when came across this site while looking out for a car, just used it to become a member and now i am stuck with it..

xezas · 23rd March 2006, 15:53

I came up with my alias when I needed one for IRC chats way back in 94/95.
I was tired of entering alias after alias only to be told that someone with that name was already present on the n/w.
One night, after a few futile attempts at logging in, I looked around my room and sighted a "Savex" brand power strip. Decided to reverse it for a cool sounding unique id: Xevas. That sounded a bit wimpy and so I tweaked it to Xezas.

manaa45 · 23rd March 2006, 15:54

i got my nick manaa coz my dad calls me that. when i wanted to use it for yahoo only manaa wasnt accepted so put 45 just for the heck of it.
