Where does your 'nick' come from?

[Droobie]

Droobie is a play on my name "Andrew". Was given to me by a friend at university, and has sort of stuck. What about your nick?

 

[marduke]

honestly i have no idea, i decided to use it afew years ago (probably 5 yrs now) and it has stuck...

 

[Miss Mayberry]

Hmm...nick? Oh, oh, okay. Got it.
I just recently changed mine (Duh). I was born in Mayberry, North Carolina, and Mom and Dad go by either 'Mayberry' (that's Dad's nickname) or 'Mrs. Mayberry' (that's Mom's) so I'm just 'Miss Mayberry'. Everyone calls me Opie, but Miss Mayberry is so much more feminine.

 

[Radagast]

Mine is from The Lord of the Rings, of course,

[Marissa]

Marissa isn't my actual name, but I had a friend in highschool who thought I didn't look like my name, but that I looked like a Marissa instead. So that's what she called me for 4 years.

 

[Icystwolf]

Icystwolf, came from ice-dog/wolf, it was a good name for LAN games when I was in Highschool....later everyone thought that name was cool and decided to copy it....and now, I had to originate myself into something distinct whilst retaining the cool name....hence

Icystwolf

 

[hillygirl]

Just a girl who has to deal with the ups and the downs of life.

 

[chris42]

mine was just started from when i got a hotmail address in year 9 with the numbers 42 in it. Ever since then it's stuck and everything's 42.

 

[Bevlina]

My nickname is the name my Mum always called me. I was known by no other name than Bevlina. So...it's used as my real name.

 

[KristianJ]

My user name bears no resemblance to my high school nickname, which was created after some guys overheard my Year 7 history teacher referring to me as "Captain Courageous" after volunteeering to go first for an assessment that involved a speech. The courageous bit fell off by Year 9, and mainly it was "Cap" through years 11 and 12. I've seen some friends in the past year or so and they've either forgotten the nickname or grown up, since they've called me Kristian, which is of course my first name.

 

[Bevlina]

I thought Kristian was another way of spelling Christian Kris, and an ingenious thought for as nickname!

 

[hank_thebigman]

well my real name is kim.. which isnt very masculine so i sort of try and be as tough as i can so hank is a very manish name.. and then when people think of hank they think of muscles.. hence the big man on the end

Tell you the truth I hated it at first (the nickname). But if that's all people are going to call you, you get more used to it and let it stick. Kristian is a derivative of Christian; I got the K so that if people abbreviated my name I wouldn't get confused with my Dad (his name is Chris). Some friends at church also call me "Big K" in reference to my height, and "Special K" because of the breakfast cereal.

 

[Bevlina]

I can see in your photo why they call you "Big K" Kris!! How tall are you in feet and inches? Around 6'2?

 

[KristianJ]

Thereabouts, yeah. Sometimes it works against me when things at about 6 foot off the ground get in the way.

 

[Blessed-one]

Blessed-one is pretty obvious, but i've used several different names before and none of them are christian related. When i went to a christian chatroom, i then decided to use a christian related name.

 

[Bevlina]

I knew it! A 6 foot 2 inch son is a wonderful help around the home for a Mum when they can't reach something! At 5 foot 3 inches, I'm always carting little steps around!
Good job men aren't wearing 1970's high heeled shoes Kris...you'd be more worried about when 6 foot things get in the way....

Mine came from another Christian friend's nickname called "Crashman" who shares the same birthdate as me, except he's 8 years older.

To add a variation it refers to my state of mind and often my PC. ;-)

[shout2thelord]

mine is soooooooooooooooooo obv i think.

what can i say this song really impacted me it was part of the reason i became a christian and has inspired me in worship since then. when the lads in the room next door to me were high on drugs i was yelling (singin loudly - which with my wonderful accent equates to yelling) shout to the lord.

since then i found out who the author was and her life has inspired me also in so many ways. so well there ya go.

 

[Wolflily]

Before I became a Christian, wolves were considered my "totem" animal, and still are one of my favorite species, and lilies are my birthflower. Also, they symbolize two big parts of my personality: fiestiness and tenderness, and also two of my spiritual gifts: creativity and mercy.
