[beersoft]

As im bored on a saturday night and people do keep asking me why are you called beersoft? and i stumbled over this thread here
i thought it would be nice to tell the stories about our nicknames

my nick was thought up way back in '92 when I was doing a city and guilds in computer programming and wanted to put a name at the top of my latest creation, so during a pub lunch the idea struck beer + software = beersoft. it sounded a little stupid but so did microsoft. It kind of stuck as an online identity through the BBS days then CIX and now the internet (and no laughing at the back, my hostname at demon has been around since '94).

thats my story, im sticking to it

now tell the world yours......

[encece]

Mine is just my initials spelled out.
Nicholas Carlo Cornaglia = NCC = encece

Not much of a story...but there you have it. :roll:

[spacemonkey]

I've always had a range of nicks most of which I didn't really like but could never figure out anything better.

I spose spacemonkey would mostly be from the movie Fight Club where the brainwashed troops of project mayhem are referred to as spacemonkeys, but I'm quite happy with the sound of it, so I think it'll be my nick for many years to come.

[Vector]

Mine is just my first name with my last 2 initials after it

boring i know, but i am trying to think of a better new one

[mcwarre]

mine is boring also...

Just my name with the last letter taken off and it comes from my first PC logon back in the early 90's
(although caused problems in Scotland; they thought I was McWarren)

[awarner]

Same here :oops:

first initial then surname

[nbjune]

mine my nickname initial then my surname initial then my birthmonth for a twist :wink:

[Matt Kirby]

I don't have a nickname!

Just my full name to keep it simple.

[Maverick]

There is no story behind my nick :-( .. Its just a random choice I made.

Well.. atleast its different from my name

[Brody]

hehe
My real name is Marc and my mate used to call me Marcus Brody which got shortened to Brody!
So I have Indiana Jones to thank!

[goinnuts]

mine was also a simple equation, beer + spv =going nuts.

[chucky.egg]

Mine's my name, but my normal nick is chucky.egg (a mis-spelling of the old BBC Micro game)

[morpheus2702]

I used to be 'Trouserpod' on many sites, but it simply made me sound like some sort of deviant.

Morpheus after Larry Fishburn in the Matrix - if only I could be 1% as cool as...

2702 after 27th February, my birthday.


It's absolutely thrilling stuff I know! :roll:

[zeta101]

my name originated when i started to play an online game called imperial conflict, i was just trying to think up a cool name, and somehow came up with zeta101, i use it for all online stuff now cos im too lazy to think up of anything different...

[crafty]

Mine comes from the Viz Profan-asorus (dictionary of rude/funny words); my surname is Butcher and there's an entry in there of "Crafty Butcher: Someone who likes to slip their meat around the back" so it started as a joke with my mates. Got shortened to just crafty which i kinda liked...

[morpheus2702]

'Takes their meat up the back passage' wasn't it?

The Profanisaurus is the only reason I still buy Viz. I love the Dirty Sanchez s*** mostache, and the even better Dirty Beppe s*** goatee.

[yoos]

Mine is my last name.... My understanding is the name comes from Germany...

[gspacedboy]

Mine is
G = Gary
Spaced = obscure song by the pumpkins
Boy = never to grow up!

[Richie M]

Mines obviously not very exciting, its my DJ name - so i get called it in real life so why not internet life
(Richard being proper first name but only my family call me that, and M is the first letter of my surname :roll:)

[Zim]

Well hey mines simple. well kinda...i have a beema (well daddy's) one and well if any one have ever heard the song (Beanie Man.. Who Am i?)

it goes "...Zim-Zima who got the keys to my beema...." cleaverly thought up by my mate in college bout 5 years ago.

i use it everywhere now, mates, family, even lectures call me zim!
doubt any1 of my mates actually know my real name.

"Z"
