    Was thinking about this recently... I've been Minesajackdaniels for a relatively short time compared to the nicknames I've used in past lives and other forums...

    In my life, with it's unfortunate predisposition to nicknames, I have been:

    Fuzzy the Fiend (throughout my teens)
    Jerry the Cat (throughout my life in college)

    and both names stuck for a long time. There are still people I meet in my life who will call me either FT or Jerry.

    Anyone else anything bizarre in a past life?

    Registered Users Posts: 11,446 ✭✭✭✭amp


    I was Vamp for about 6 months on usenet. I dropped the V quite quickly. I've been amp since at least 1995. Liking cake has been a recent development. I tend to be amp on IRC, usenet, and of course the boards. It's also handy for those arcade machines with only three letters.

    I might as well post it myself or some of the #fortress.ie folk will probably try and blackmail me with it.....

    I was called "Millenator" when I started playing TFC :), only for a couple of months mind, and I was young and naieve.... everyone just called me Mill or Mills anyway, and I get called that in real life too sometimes, so I just changed to it.

    I was given the nick mafiosa by a friend, I used it as a pc nick after awhile. The nick caught on and kinda stuck for awhile, I didnt mind it, kinda liked it.

    I was called she-bee by my dad for many years.

    I had a teacher in highscool who called me yinyang, because I was into all the chinese religion and medicines, plus I wore the symbol everyday some how. ;)

    kiffer
    Registered Users Posts: 2,097 ✭✭✭kiffer


    Kiff and Kiffer where first used when I was little ...
    and never used again untill my sister reminded me when i was 16 ... after that I used it as an nick for Email and irc , as well as Subspace and other games...
    hum other nicks I've used ...
    the very witty Mr.X for all those 3 letter high scores, back in the day.
    other than abusive nicks from Primary school and one or maybe two that I've given my self for a day or so ... not including ones that I use when I dont want people to know It's me
    ... um I cant think of any more nicks
    ... oh wait.
    I was ScoutGerbil and CHARGE!!! for a while in CS but that was more of a joke ... and in games somethimes its WarKiff unless its not a Violent game.

    actualy can any-one who knows me remember any other nicks?

    everyone who knows me in RL calls me by my surname, except my family and 2 or 3 mates, and of course u online faygots who call me kaids or kaz. wasn't always so lucky tho, lovely period in primary school being called "bb" (wtf?) and something else related to my surname in 2ndary school, which i won't mention :)
