I got my name from a character in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, who in turn got his name from a famous car.

We have a common source.

Maniac Mansion and vowel hatred.

Though I mostly watch anime, I also enjoy a certain Western cartoon originally aimed at little girls. Given how 'wingboner' is kind of a meme in this particular fandom and I thought it hilarious, I immediately adopted it as one of my more recent nicknames I use on the Interwebs.

Say a word about yourself similar to the introduction thread but focusing on your nickname.
Why did you choose it, does it have some hidden meaning maybe (if not apparently obvious of course), if it's from an anime which (if it's not commonly known) why that one, and so on...

Here I'll explain mine - it's somewhat simple - My name is Душан so Duki is my nickname, that simple (and no - its got no relation with duke whatsoever which some people may think). The 3003 part is apparently, well, 'cause I started surfing the web somewhere back in 2002 - but all Duki2002 nicks were generally in use so I concocted a devilish plan to annoy some random Duki in the year 3003 when he eventually finds out that all Duki3003's on all popular sites were already taken, back 1000 years ago - muhahahaha

Care to explain yours?

I had someone once tell me that Tenshi Yoma was the equivilant of "Fallen Angel" in japanese. Whether it's true or not, I don't honestly know. But I started using it as a screen name years and years ago and just kinda kept using it.

Well, out of context, Auriga is a constellation (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auriga_(constellation)), however, in-context the name comes from the name of an AMV created by someone who is considered at large by the AMV editor community to be a god among men. I am talking, of course, about Xavier Guinchard aka Nostromo. Auriga happens to be the name of the first of his AMV's I ever saw and it remains to this day my favorite, so I named my internet persona after it.

http://www.nostro.fr/links/ <--- Nostromo's website
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v4KqbZ3iyVI <------ Auriga AMV on Youtube

The 1337 part comes from my chosen career in the IT field and my love of computers.

Hi guys, I'm duelistgamer, newcomer to BakaBT.

My nickname was made 7 years ago, when they used to show Duel Masters on TV. As it should be obvious, duelistgamer, breaks up into duelist, which came from my Duel Masters fandom(which is fine at the age of 10) and gamer, which came from me playing a lot (too much?) of video games.

Ginter · « **Reply #1008 on:** January 13, 2013, 08:07:44 AM »

Well... my username is my last name... so thats kinda boring... but when I used to play alot of CS:S and other games I would usually go as Saint Jimmy which is a Green Day song who is referred to as The Patron Saint of Denial.

FlyinPenguin · « **Reply #1009 on:** January 15, 2013, 05:01:05 AM »

My name is inspired by this Linux commercial: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pnOUq9UBJb4

Because with Linux, even penguins can fly

I wanted to use The Flying Penguin but unfortunately I was limited by characters.

Tri_Edge · « **Reply #1010 on:** January 22, 2013, 11:40:38 AM »

No need to explain my nickname really.

Alakasam · « **Reply #1011 on:** January 24, 2013, 05:53:19 PM »

Pretty self-explanatory for my one I guess!
Name is Sam, and Pokémon was pretty good to me 10 years back, so, Alakazam = Alakasam!

inulala · « **Reply #1012 on:** January 27, 2013, 11:21:26 PM »

The first anime series I ever had the pleasure of watching was InuYasha. You know Kirara, that lovable demon companion? I used to think it was pronounced (and spelled) Kilala. I don't know why, but it was what I picked up. So, when I first stumbled upon a part of the internet that required me to have a username, I combined my favorite anime (albeit, the only anime I had seen), and my favorite character from said anime.

InuYasha + Kilala = Inulala.

ye0manb0wman · « **Reply #1013 on:** January 28, 2013, 11:38:17 PM »

Well my name comes from ye olde britain. A yeoman was basically a peasent trained in the ways of archery. These peasents later grew so good at archery that they joined the army or became mercenaries. Now ye olde britain was known mainly for their longbowmen which were some of the most respected and skilled archerers in europe at the time. I'm a big history buff so that's why I chose this as my nickname. Also I am not british.

That's, um, really innovative... I guess. :)

Sakinora

Saki (先) is a noun meaning 'destination'
Nora (のら) means stray

thus coined as : 'straydestination'

It speaks a lot to me personally and it has a connotative meaning. Basically, my parents see my online self(anime, manga, games) a hindrance and just a pile of random sheez. And that's how I came up with the name. I'm not really astray though. :3

rnuaser · « **Reply #1016 on:** February 04, 2013, 06:02:47 PM »

So what's the X for?

forks · « **Reply #1018 on:** February 15, 2013, 07:37:52 PM »

I decided I ought to post here because everyone usually seems to assume my nickname is that of some mere utensil.
Well it is not about that, though the eating utensil does exhibit the property after which I have been nicknamed in a way.

Perhaps the purest example would be the fork() function, where by a new process is created by duplicating the calling process.
But, forks in the road, in rivers, in tree branches, and most significantly in causation, exhibit what forks are a little more clearly.

I wrote a paper on probabilistic causation with emphasis on conjunctive forks and that was all I talked about for a year or so,
and thus it became my nickname amongst some of my colleagues.

Also I may be a little insane because of that... viewing the entire world and myself as made up of forks of cause and effect...
So in a way I don't view it as a simple nickname, I am forks (and so are you).

It would be entirely too tiresome to explain here, so if you want to read about causation, here's a link; http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/causation-probabilistic/

You are either way, WAY too smart or too completely full of shit to be slumming it up here.

But since you're here anyway, welcome aboard.
