Guess.

[foldadoom]

used to own a German Folda cocker, and was watching Conan one night Thulsadoom become Foldadoom.

[fossilhead]

I was looking for Buddy Rich LPs at a vintage record store in town, the shop owners kids called me a Fossil-head as they were digging up the flowers in front of the store looking for dinosaur bones.

I figured it fit. And after I told my friends the story it stuck.

My other nick's:

Todula
Hot-toddy
Ta-da
Todunt
Todly
Toodles
Toad
Dr. Destructo
Todamus
Podamus
Toddy-woddy-podamus

And more that I can't think of right now.....Nobody likes to call me by my actual name.

[DeTrevni]

Your name must be Todd.

[fossilhead]

Yup. Tod with one 'D' though.

Oh yeah, that's another one. I was working at a bar with another Todd (2 D's) So I became "Undies" and he became "Double D's"

[glaman5266]

Mine was my username for my college's computer servers. I use it for pretty much everything. Other nicknames include, D, D-Train, Big D (first name is Derrick), and Egon (kinda look like him from Ghostbusters, but with longer hair).

Holy crap, man! I never would have guessed. Don't you have a bit of a marker collection going, if I remember? Managing well, appearently.

Back on topic, my name came from a loose garage band I played guitar for. Think early Static-X or Rammstein sans sampling.

My 'field name' a while back was Bad Luck--the loose team I was one place fairly high in a few local tournies, but would always loose that winning spot when I was there; Dillan's Angel would go down, Casey (our front guy) would get mistakenly pulled after sliding into wasted 'balls on the ground (he was honest, so I trust that), Dave would always have air problems with his Omen, that type of thing.

My gamer name was 'Yerdaddy', except in Comp Tech class at school, where I managed 'Teh Masstor of Ghey...'

PS: I'm not, for the record!

[victor13]

Jesus, some people got some crazy stories behind their names.


My name is Victor, and i was born on the 13th, so... Yeah.

Another one i commonly use (flarpy) is at least a little more creative.

Back in 8th grade i was getting set up for my first e-mail account ever. They asked me what i wanted my email address to be. I couldn't think of anything, so i looked at the toy i had in my hand. It was called Flarp. It was a farting toy, and i love to fart, so i called myself flarpy.

[Long Beard]

Probably not hard to guess here. I have 9 inches of goatee on the end of my chin. And for the record it looks cool when there's purple paint all through it after a mask shot!

[HP_Lovecraft]

Late 80s: Conan
Early 90s: Stimpy
Late 90s: Jinxed
Now: HP Lovecraft

Conan, as I was a huge fan. Not so much Conan the Barbarian specifically, but I loved 1920-30s pulp fiction, like R.E.Howard, Lovecraft, C.A.Smith, Derleth, etc.

Then Stimpy, as I was a big fan of the show when it came out, and apparently, I look like Stimpy.

Then Jinxed- This was a paintball reference to a former team, where all of our guns would break down during a tournament, NO MATTER how many we have brought. Some games none of us even used guns. We just ran around throwing paintballs.

Then Lovecraft- Again, a reference to 1920s pulp fiction, as well as to his mix of scifi/horror/fantasy, then is so mixed into modern hollywood.
