Funky was just random Idont remember much but I guess I picked it up from some Techno song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denis W. Veteran Posted September 13, 2009 Veteran Share Posted September 13, 2009 I've recently contemplated changing this nickname after nearly 7 years of use - pretty much my entire timespan spent on the Internet. But anyways, as to where it came from (posted on another forum a few years ago, with some alterations): This started back in 2001. A friend had this obsession of calling himself 'THE man' - before that he was toying around with email addresses like "mrsbinladen30304@hotmail"... stuff like that. So I countered that one day by creating a personal site on Geocities, then Tripod (both now long dead) called 'the REAL man's site'. Of course 'realman', never mind 'theman' was used a thousand times, with numbers following the word 'realman'. Since the year was 2001, the online form suggested I use 'realman20010', so I accepted. For the next two years, I would use 'realman20010' whenever I signed up for something on a site, for instance, Hotmail (take a guess as to what it is :p), or variations of it whenever I forgot my original account's password. Starting from 2003, I thought having the word 'realman' in my nicknames was a bit foolish, and kind of gives the wrong impression of me flaunting a big ego. :p I abbreviated it to RM20010 (or rm20010) ... and that remains as my nickname ever since for just about everything, except my email address. I'd get a new email address it but I can't be bothered to abandon my 7 year old inbox and force all my contacts to add my new address. Compare this to friends that hold onto email accounts for about a year or two. To this day people still give me a weird look whenever I give them my email address, or explain what my nickname expands to. :ermm: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Vivicidal- Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 I wanted a user name that wouldn't be taken anywhere so that I didn't need loads of numbers on the end of it, so I put together the first part of a title of a song from a random song, (Vivica), which gave me vivi- and after looking it up, I found vivicide was the destruction of any and all life, so I made my name: Vivicidal - therefore: a word describing something that causing the destruction of any and all life.

Michael Lacey Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Um, quite a number of years back with an old girlfriend and other ppl we were watching retarded movies and one of them was a thumb puppet reenactment of the Blair Witch Project called the Blair Thumb. One of the characters introduced himself as "Jish" and I don't know if I was just drunk or stupid or what but all the movie characters laughed at it as a joke and I laughed at it for like half an hour, and came home later and used it as a username ever since. I just added "the" cos SOMEBODY ELSE TOOK IT AND TAKES IT ON SO MANY SITES WTF:/ </rant> and I dislike numbers in my name lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
