Hey people i just wonder how'd ya all get your IW nick names, come one it'llm be fun to tell, i'm sure there are stories behind some of 'em. My nick, whacky, is an old one and i use it almost everywhere, i use it cause i'm really really paranoid and different from the main stream [img]tongue.gif[/img] :D [img]tongue.gif[/img]
So how about you guys, please do tell everyone [img]smile.gif[/img]

Well for me id always used the nickname Simeo.
But I came here at the same time I started doing my Techno Music, I wanted soething new so I started using Sio under which to produce my music.
Since then my production name has changed from Sio to 'Pingu_Pi' and yes the under score is emant to be there, its part of my music name but the underscore isnt pronounced :D

My mum gave it to me when i was born. :D

One of my fav books - William Gibsons Neuromancer (I use this one when somebody else beats me with "Corwin" - from Amber series by Roger Zelazny) So, I guess books are main source of my nicknames.

Neuro

An ex-girlfriend once told me that my heart was "as black as the ace of spades". I kept the moniker. :D

And i thought you were just a cheating pokerplayer. [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img]

Cool place to get them from indeed.
The only quibbles I have with names from books is the really famous ones, like Gandalf or Aragorn.
The amount of Wizards in UO called Gandalf is staggering!! and pathetic [img]smile.gif[/img]

I got my name from a traveling Spanish cortet who thought I was Dan Rathers.

My BGII character. (And also the character in <font color=lavender>Galadria's</font> novels). [img]tongue.gif[/img]
EDIT: to add: My NWN, IWD, and IWDII characters also. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

I've been called Bokken in r/l for longer than I can remember so on my first encounter with the internet about 3 years ago, I decided that was what I'll be known as online also. It has been that way in IW and everywhere else.
