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

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.

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

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.

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.
