It's my first name, pronounced Hany. It's of Arabic origin, and it means "full of joy".

Old nickname given to me by my dad. In russian it approximates to "Trouble maker", it is one of those words thats very hard to explain in English.

It was a character in a story I had started writing back in school, some 10 years ago now. I've not seen it used much elsewhere, except as Antares, which is quite popular in sci-fi.

The name of the devil in 'Faust' by Johann Wolfgang Goethe.

My old hotmail address was getting spammed to hell, back in 1999/2000 so I decided I wanted a new one. I looked at my desk at work for inspiration and saw a bottle of Super Glue... Reversed it and changed the space so it read: Eul_Grepus... Grepus has stuck ever since.

Fairly simple, it's my name .

My name is Elyk, and I just flipped my name around.

Just kidding, my name is Kyle.

I was on the Xbox, and my friend had created his character and name and everything which took for ever..

So when I was typing my name "Sam" on the on screen keyboard, which takes ages, I did the "S" the "a" but my friend says "just do Sazz instead - the mouse is closer to the Z than the M, which is on the other side of the screen."

And that's the Sazz bit. I just added the 181 bit for no reason whatsoever.

I signed up on these forums one minute after Microsoft announced their latest OS would be called Vista.

Mine's pretty easy...

Well, my name is Edgar, and an old girlfriend named me Mr.Ed, as in, you know, the horse... (get it?)

I swear its a true story, as most people wont believe me.


Mr.Ed

Well, I realised that the name "Calum" was the greatest name on Earth so natur--- okay, it's just my forename

--sw +M swaps 1 for i = Mitch

My name.

Meant as the yet undiscovered source of Human supernatural/Psychic ability, as in a DNA Double Helix but with a third, possibly hidden or dimension shifted helix

The Mother chose my name, ask her about it

When I first started playing FPS games (some 15 years ago), my handle was Big Green Monkey..

this proved to be a bit of a mouthful over comms etc, so it was abbreviated by my team to BGM, and I've used it ever since wherever possible!

It used to pretty much always be free on forums, but in recent years it has become more difficult to grab it

My Name is Zahid, X tends to xtreme gamer,
not anymore

Do you mind explaining 'Persephone', please? I've always been interested in what that meant

I'd be interested if this was something more meaningful then just a cool name, and a reference to greek mythology..

It's my real name...

I dunno. It's a word you put at the start of a question?

Bhav is short for Bhavin, my first name. For those who don't know how to pronounce that (particularly Americans!)...my name rhymes with Gavin lol

The Surname of one of the Families in a Fantasy series by George RR Martin called "A Song of Ice & Fire", the first book of which is called A Game of Thrones and is heading to HBO as a series hopefully. The Pilot has a stellar cast.

It is.

Used to have an old 'Digital' branded CRT monitor, Microsoft Windows? Somehow came up with digitalsoft

I first heard it in The Matrix and just liked the sound of it. Persephone is "Queen of the Underworld" in mythology, but I didn't really think about that when choosing.

Mine's part of my first and last names:

Scott Kempson

My brother came up with the idea of chopping parts of my name together when I needed an ID for xbox Live and so scokem was born I've stuck with it ever since and changed all my online IDs to be it too. My previous ID was Lil' Kempo because I'm the youngest of three brothers and to our friends when we were growing up, we were each known as Kempo. I think scokem is way better than that though and I was getting bored of it seeming like I was either little or young depending on how people interpreted the Lil' part!

I don't think I have to explain my username.

Mine is simple, its my name itself..

cause i'm a pimp that's all you need to now

I woke up one morning fussing about things a bit (partly from hangover, partly from not being a morning person) and my girlfriend at the time (who called me her big old teddy bear) said, "you're being a bit growled this morning." I found it so amusing I started using it for my user name.

My real name is Rick.

Old username FleazZz. The name Flea was being used by the famous bassist from RHCP, so I added a Z, so I added 2 more Z's when I lost my old email. My new username BlackSteyrAug is a song by band Today is the Day.

Relates to a time in my troubled teenage years.

had a tsjech girlfriend. She called me that don't know why. Maybe it means something in tsjech

It's my real name.. my middle and last initial.

I thought about changing it but Smeltn told me you guys wouldn't recognize me ..

Hmmm, 12 years ago when I started to browse the net, it was just something I thought of at random, so I went about being "Zoom" until it wasn't available at another forum I tried to sign up on and then "7000" was the first number I liked that came up at the time. It's been "Zoom7000" since.

I have seen a few other Zoom7000's around the net though!

Maybe I should copyright it! Zoom7000©

Interestingly enough, "The Ankle Breaker" came about after me repeatedly using an Ankle Lock/Bar/Hook as my move of choice when doing MMA training back in the day!

Well, at the time I joined, I couldn't for the life of me think of a catchy username. I thought of this Windows-geared site where this guy posted some off-the-wall comments to articles, that were both funny to me as well as being almost incomprehensible. I think the guy's username was MonsterKody or MonstaKody or something. He always mentioned McDonalds or hamburgers inexplicably in his posts. Cracked me up. So I came up with a variation of that.

Pablo is my nickname, the X as in XPablo, when XP was being released, since I was one of the first guys at work to upgrade my Win2k OS to XP.
People @ work, started calling me XPablo, today i'm still known as Pablo, as I work for a different company now.

Where i'm simply known by my real name Paul or Pablo.

PT = What everybody calls me in real life, my first and last name initials

13 = I chose this number when I was an online gamer to give luck (and to have more than 2 chars in my nickname)

I never knew why I chosed this nickname... And then a friend of mine told me to spell it backwards... It scared me !

Hell-In-A-Handbasket

as in the world is going there

Metallica Anthrax

<--

Used to be called Jaysteddy but went away for a year (no access to internet, but plenty of porridge), came back, forgot logon details, made a new account, remembered logon details, switched back, changed name!

ADS are my first name middle name and last name, but also can be my first name middle name and second last name, bit sometimes is too short or somebody already have it so i added the "full" so people think i'm a seller xD

It's a Chinese food I got addicted to the 1st time I went to China. I used the @ instead of a to make it more "spiffy".

Well I think mine is clear enough.

Its my name, middle, and last.

JAFO was the "handle" I used on BBSes back in the day. I also ran one called "Blue Thunder BBS". It's a character from the movie / TV show. It was taken here so I added "man" to the end (no good reason).

Avatar shows what "Blue Thunder" is... And yeah, it was real.
