How did you get your Nickname?

#1
I got my nickname due to my hair, is rarely wavy, but when I was a baby my hair was blond, in the secondary I had it really long, and to the long haired people here at mexico are called Chimpas, a chimpa is a bit of long and messed hair, a teacher started to call me chimpas, then everybody started, but I have another nicks as Zapatito (little shoe), Ricitos de oro (golden wavys) and Greñuda (its like a way to say 'you long and bad combed hair') but that doesn't make me mad

Runnerguy for me was because of how much running I do in real life, but it of course applies well to speed running as well.

2489 is my birth date, 2/4/89.

My first username was Anime-tion when I was 13 cuz i liekd animu lawl
But people on a forum i regularly went to would constantly refer to me as Ani, so that part of my username always stuck with me.

As for the meowzerz bit, I have no clue. probably some huge furry outburst or some shit I dunno. I've always been able to use it wherever I go with no worries of it being taken, so yeah.

Mine stands for my old NSider Screen Name, ShadowDude2.  I was called that quite a bit by the forum members there, so I guess it stuck.

I was...  I believe 12 at the time.

I ever thought Jiano came from JIANUS, the god of two faces that was betrayed by his family, also can see it at 007 Goldeneye, Alec Trevelyan is Jianus

I used to play a shit load of unreal tournament so I just wanted to call myself Unreal... <_< My old youtube account was unrealman704 btw. 704 being my date of birth.

July 2004?

WHAT THE FUCK

That's July 4th...

Dates go 3/26/1993 (my birthday) in North America, and I'm assuming Unreal is from the US, I don't keep track of that stuff.

Re: How did you got your Nickname?

Lol, yeah my birthday is July 4th 1992... Sorry for the confusion keeta.

Re: How did you got your Nickname?

#16
lol, i'd be pretty surprised to hear a 5 year old yell and scream the stuff Unreal does when he speedruns

anyway, i got my name cause i thought the word ice was cool so i added something to the end of that, then i added 007 to the end of that

I pretty much stuck with that for about 8 years.

Not taken from ice breakers gum though i do like eating them...

A few years back I came up with the most amazing and original name.
Toes R Us.
Youtube and forums didn't allow spaces in names so I made it Toesrus.
People didn't know how to pronounce it, they kept saying Toesaurus like a dinosaur.
I shortened it to Toes.
A legend was born.

Uhm, you know where I got my username from.
I'm also known as Gazile. I got that name from a song called "Let's Play Some Tetris Motherfucker", there is a part of the song where he says "Can you feel it" and i thought he said "gaziley" and I took away the "y" because I like it like that. Weird story i guess. :P

I've always thought that "Grunz" was your name!

I thought it was his last name...

I seem to have overestimated my German friend :3

Re: How did you got your Nickname?

#26
just so you guys know

"Grunz" is a german verb

when a pig makes the noises, a pig usually do, he "grunzes" ;)

My name is pretty obvious to figure out. When creating a youtube account I was playing some Mario Party and one of my favorite minigames was "pokey pummel" Then the 17 was my lucky number. Also in 6th grade a person just came out of nowhere and said," I name you Pokey now"

Re: How did you got your Nickname?

#28
Considering how we are all avid Mario Party fans, that didn't even need to be explained

btw 17 is my lucky number get your own

my old nickname that i used since 2000 up to last year was PiccoloCube and it was inspired by 2 things. my favorite Dragon Ball character was Piccolo and at the time the GC was being announced (i got this nick weeks after the announcement)
then i got bored of it and changed it in almost every forum but i had to keep it in youtube because they don't allow nickname changes and i didn't want to make a new account.
the current one is easy to guess.

Well, mine is a long story, but I'll shorten it... unless you like details, then oh well.

My very first online handle was BlueStar810 and it was on GameFAQs.com. As for choosing it, I like stars and of course, they look blue for the most part. The "810" part is my birthday, August 10th.

For two years, I had that account name. Then, I decided for some reason that I didn't want to be on GFAQs anymore so I deleted it. However, realizing I had made some acquaintances on the OoT Board, I decided six months later to come back to GFAQs.

Thus, BlueStarReturns was born. The name signifies my return to GameFAQs and has stuck ever since, except for the rare SDA and Ustream accounts, which fall back to BlueStar810 and BlueStar81089 (my full birthday, 8/10/89) respectively.

Finally, when I created a commentaries channel (mainly video games, some movies/shows) on Youtube, the name also became BlueStarCommentaries.

Whew! That was a lot of explaining!
