    So how did you get yours and what does it mean?

    My psn id is SgtMartyMcFly
    It was in secondary a guy started calling me mcfly. Nicknames just stuck. My first name is Martin so thats why I choose that. Sgt is just instead of numbers or xxx's at the start of my name.
    Oh and its in reference to back to the future. The band was not around when I was in secondary.

    The Last Samurai, Ken Watanabe plays a character called Katsumoto.

    I fell in love with this movie when it came out...

    Unfortunately, Katsumoto was taken so I wanted to be called "the" Katsumoto but thought that sounded a bit silly so went for the Spanish of "the" which is "el". Henceforth "ELKATSUMOTO" was born.

    When I moved house my brother held onto the Xbox so I had to buy a new one and with that came my new and final GamerTag = xxELKATSUMOTOxx

    And you really like coco pops?

    • Ade
    <
    nickname that people seem incapable of pronouncing, especially the Yanks.
    Actually pronounced Addy for those who don't know. Not A D or AID(:facepalm:)

    • LFC
    I support Manchester United, clearly.
    • Alves
    I was in love(don't worry I grew out of it :pac:) with the footballer Daniel Alves pre-Barcelona and was yapping on about him just after he moved to Sevilla in school, yet no one took any notice until he really established himself :rolleyes:

    Working in IT for the past 10 years. Half of the emails I get are addressed "Brain", spellcheck sees it being correct in emails.

    Friends have started calling me Brain now aswell and its stuck.

    I was thinking of starting a thread like this. Great Idea Tallon!

    Well Keane is my Surname, I'm from the west so pronounce it Kane

    Lads in college come from a school in Tuam (St. Jarlaths), they knew alot of that sham talk.

    According to them lakes is slang for crazy/mad/unreal

    They started calling me LakesKeane, had a ring to it.

    Sín é

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,144 ✭✭✭CORaven


    CORaven is an abbreviation of my first email address.

    <fullname>withtheravens[at]hotmail.com
    I met a few people in France a good few years back. To stay in contact, they introduced me to MSN messenger and my email address was the result of an in-joke. Got sick of seeing the full name in every convo so I shortened it down to just CORaven.

    COR (initials) + Raven
    I know there is two Rs but it blends well.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,721 ✭✭✭Kells...


    my second name


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,686 ✭✭✭Kersmash


    You must be American surely :pac:

    I think I just assumed your first name was Aidan and I pronounced it like that :S
