Lucutus, Of course it came from Star Trek.
Change the 'O' to a 'U' (Locutus = Lucutus) to avoid copyright infringement from Paramount Studios (It's been known to happen...sometime, someplace, somehow!) As well as that, when I migrated to The Undernet IRC from web chat, (Anyone remember web communities long since disappeared like Atlantic Island, The Emerald Rooom, and The Burren, now known as Seaswans Harbour on Paddynet?), the nick 'Locutus' was a 24/7 bot on a gay channel, (Those buffties love their Picard!
), So it had to be changed for that too.
Someone studying latin once told me it was the latin word for 'Speaker', which I liked. (Ties in with the name given to the Borg's ambassodor to the federation and earth, they needed someone to be the borg's spokeperson to earth and the means of assimilation of the human species into the collective.)

erm, when i was in first year in college in 92 i used skippy coz im from australia. used to spend about 10 hours a da on a talker called foothills on telnet.
then one day, someone had robbed my nick so i needed a new one.
i thought long and hard and the only thing i could think of was mario. since ithought he looked like a painter in his overalls and i could only think of white wash paint i thought id call myself whitewash. then i just added man at the end for some strange reason.
i have to say its on of the few nicks ive seen that is actually original
oh and pebble came from the time i was playing hockey and i was called a pebble in defence coz they alreadsy had a rock there
and yer'ma comes from a converstion with tincool.
actually tincool used tinfoil for a while coz at one stage, one of the lads in our clan used to spellcheck his mails (?) and it told him the clostest word to tincool was tinfoil, which i think is highly amusing 0 -

Mine came from ancient egypt and was carried here on the lips of an arabian beauty. She arrived at my door, we made love....we kissed and the name was implanted forever in my brain......PROVIDENCE....providence... She died soon after. (the celtic tiger)....To tell you the truth when I first came to the boards back in September....I was called paddypaddy55 but had to choose new name because the moderaters banned me for spamming! paddypaddy is the first name of a friends (Frances Farmer's) dad (*2). I had to add the 55 cos someone had already taken the paddypaddy one at hotmail!
anyway....That's it!
tct
And with that I stand down as leader of this ancient and very sacred society. I just hope you will treat your new leader with as much love and respect as you have shown me. I bid thee farewell.
thank you0 -
Greetings all,
My nick was in college in the early 80's
I had a passion for long coats and trilbe hats,, Like the gansters in the roaring 20's, But I was more like the KGB, so my friends decided to add ski to my surname *******ski, and so this stayed with me through college and also during that time I was completly addicted to mints, SilverMints
and so the the nick was born silVerSki and has stayed with me all these years..... 0 -

Mythago is pretty good actually
Personally i think 2040 is A) Sh!t and
Pushing it a bit...
2040 doesnt roll off the tongue that well (No comments please!:P) and doesnt suggest anything at all. Its just a number (and not a particularly good one at that)
No offence 2040 0
