What does your nick name mean?

We all have a unique identity in form of nickname on forums and online communities

Some people have weird ones, while some have interesting stories behind it.

Why do not you share your thoughts behind your nicknames when you selected it.

i will flag off the procedings with myself :

nickname : medpal

during the initial phase of my touch with internet i started to use yahoo especially mail as many of my friends shifted to usa and only communication affordabel at that time was email.

then i saw a few more services of yahoo which i needed to explore but revealing my real identity i thought may be dangerous.

so i thought immediately of a nick and made this one with medical being my profession i took med, and i was looking to make pals (friends)

so thus i joined med + pal and got my nick medpal.

now whats your story.

I don't even remember where i started with my nick

It must have been some L33t forum - if you know what i mean. Had to create one at the spur of the moment - so just shortened my real name for first 3 letters 'DIP' and then being the genius i am for some noob/cool factor added 'Dude' to it

From then on just stuck with it as my nick/id on all the forums. In the virtual world i go by dipdude.

Yes i know my nick sucks but have got used to it since and i am not going to change it for this world or next

You guys better learn to deal with it

As life goes on I’m starting to learn more and more about responsibility
I realize everything I do is affecting the people around me
So I want to take this time out to apologize for things I have done
And things that have not occurred yet
And the things they don’t want to take responsibility for!

params7 was the first ID I came up with to use for chatting (when I was a n00b to the world of the booming interweb), and been using it ever since. I can google my ID and there'd be 100's of forums i've been registered with showing up

I know many people find it boring.... but when I was a Noob (Correction Still am in few cases) I use this id which was 7-8 years ago... have stuck around since then..............

I had learnt a sweet song in school.. "Like a skylark in spring....". it was a really cool song.. so i picked up skylark frm there..
skylark is a bird which sings when it flies high!
