Nickname explanations?

[1000mAh]

^ there she goes >_>

OnT: still, as always, I took my nick from a battery lying on the table.
Didn't really care about the nick, as my plan was only to snatch few torrents from bbt and leave, but that plan failed miserably....
So, I'm stuck with it and I like it xD

I'm too lazy to think of some fancy names whenever I'm creating a nick, so I figured I should just use my real nick (my mom told me my dad gave that nick): bunal (which was supposed to mean "chubby" .....but that's when I wasn't even a year old! Now, I'm completely the exact opposite of that though )

Then, I decided to put whatever at the end and "z" came to my mind (since it's the last, the end of the alphabet lol).

[forsakengod]

I've been using this nickname for almost 6 years. I always use this for forums and games.

Found my nick while playing Single Player of Warcraft III. The Forsaken is the name of the group Sylvanas Windrunner (Dark Lady) formed. Then i added "god" to it cause it has a nice ring to it.

There you have it. "ForsakenGod"

HI! I'm new in this forum, i'm going to indroduce myself explaining my nickname(even though nobady is interested)

Hello Zlater! Welcome to the forums!
Zlatan is actually a pretty common name in the Balkans, although I guess Ibrahimovic is the most famous by a pretty big degree :P

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.

Nah, I just surf around Wikipedia a lot when I don't have anything else to do (like on the train).

The best series of books there is, shame on anyone who hasn't read it.
Technically it includes me, as I listened to it.

I agree! Although, I've only read the Swedish translation, so I've yet to experience the original. I'm thinking about reading the English version though, only to see if one is better than the other.

Actually, me too.
I listened to it on cassette tapes while out sailing on the Baltic with my still very much active grandpa. It was great :]
...or rather, only the first two books while out sailing. The rest I listened to at home, if I should be correct.

A question that comes to my mind:

Where do the most people in these forums live?

OOOOh
There are a lot people of different countries, I guess there are very few mexican. Or maybe none.

Is there a way to know how many people there are of each country.

Not that I know of.

[ari_elle]

i had a small mirror (the kind you might see in pubs / bars) in my room with the text "campari" written on it.
just staring into a blank field on my screen, which was waiting for me to type in a nickname, i used "ari" from there on and it grew on me.

after some time i decided that i wanted to change it, to maybe sound more soothing, to be more of a real full name and be longer (not just 3 letters), in order to make it easy for people to still spot me i therefore named me ari_elle....

up to this date many call me ari ;-)

[Bookwyrm]

It would also have been cute.

Bookwyrm sounds better imo 

[Ami Lia]
