Quote:I often wonder why most people invent strange names instead of using their real first or last name or both, like Antoni Gual, simple and straight to the point. What's the purpose of using a disguised name or nickname?I don't go by my real name in real life all the time either. About four years ago, my boss (now my flatmate) nicknamed me Obiwan. The shortend name Obi just stuck and now many of my friends, my girlfriend and all my workmates call me that. Some people that I have known for a while don't even know my real name ;-).
The name LooseCaboose comes from playing a LAN game of (I think) Duke3D. The default player name was LooseGoose and I thought it was funny, I later changed it to LooseCaboose to be a little more original (turns out it isn't ;-)).
