However I certainly see why some people would prefer their real name to use. Its just a matter of preference.
I feel the same way.
The origin of my nickname is pretty lame...I was stumped as for what name I was going to use to sign up for some forum..so I let my eyes wander. Lo and behold, I saw the Delete key...you can guess the rest. 
It's a good thing you are not spanish, otherwise your nickname would be " <-- "
:lol:
It's from the Illiad. But the Romans are better.
I chose yetifoot completely at random, I used to have the nickname mushroom when i was younger because a had a bit of a bowl haircut and acne, but luckily thats changed now!
I might have to change my nickname to stretchy or elastic-kid because people have started calling me that...curse my english teacher noticing I strech alot (my body goes stiff quite a bit for some reason)

I know someone with the nic 'potatoe.' ;P
the reason my nicname is jupiter3888 is because when i was signining up for hotmail my favourite planet to observe with my telescope was jupiter (it has now changed to the moon) and obviously jupiter was taken so i added the numbers of my birthday onto the end - 3rd august 1988.
on another note i use the nicname lunatic in msn messenger lately but have changed it to [LUNA tic] because IMO it looks better
that is all.
NovaProgramming...
I guess mine isn't as interesting as I thought
In that good old game Starcraft... on Battle.Net... I was fortunate enough (a long time ago) to secure the nickname "Nova" which I thought was pretty cool. But it really wasn't... everyone thought that "Nova" was a girls name, so I kept getting hit on... but anyways... When I signed up, I just went with slapping "Programming" on the end, cause... well, yeah.
Nowadays, of course, everyone (who's on my MSN list anyways) knows I'm "Flaid", and that is from Don Miguel's RPG which was released in the oh-so-glorious pirated RPG Maker 2000, where there's a dog who is very badly translated:
Quote:My Nick is Flaid!
I am ordinary dog, but you are special man!
I search for you whole my life!
[Don Miguel:] How old you, Flaid?
[Flaid:] Well, I'm big enough... and I'm almost two! Two weeks old!
I dunno, I thought it was original. Maybe I'll swing things so that's my nickname here someday... if I decide to stick around this time
Quote:everyone thought that "Nova" was a girls name, so I kept getting hit on...
Bah that's nothing, whenever I use Tricia as my name I always get hit on =p
Yeah. Whtiger is gender-confused.
Its ok, he is going to therapy for it.
