my name is FERnanda CAStillo, and for my email y chose FERCAS_1123 ... 1123 refering the fibonacci numbers, but it was so long, so i take off a 1 and it stoped making sense, anyway i left it like that, and since i am really bad remembering things, i use the nickname for everything... mails, twitter, tweaktoday, flickr, stumbleupon, and on and on....

It's my first name with part of my last name. My intention was that if someone were wondering if it was really me, they'd see the -dna and think, "Oh, -dna. That's almost like Xxxdna. Yep, that's her." But most people don't really pick up on where the -dna is from—most think genetics first.

Made zero sense to me before I knew you... Made perfect sense as soon as I did.

I was listening to a song by the band say anything, and bam was a nickname I seem to have had since I was a baby. I tried to think of something clever and witty to use but as I am neither of those I stuck with something thats easy to remember.

It's my name and the man in the picture with me gave it to me at birth (or at least he didn't veto it). Please pardon the drunk faces (& teeth) - it was Christmas.

(partially a repost from Nov. 12)
Chaomancer: Chaos+mancer, someone who performs chaomancy, which is the use of chaos for the purpose of divination. So in a way, I guess I try to make sense out of chaos. I originally picked the name as a play on Necromancy. Although not the 'divination' type but the 'manipulate the dead' type found in books and games. I figured in some way I manipulate chaos. I create, increase, and sometimes (but rarely) organize chaos.Yes, I made this up. It is not like I gave it this much thought when I was just looking for an uncommon name. At the time, I am pretty sure I was the only Chaomancer out there, but not anymore.

I've used "DiscoMeg2" for probably like 15 years at this point. It was my AOL screenname derived from I think the name I gave my pet mouse, which was Disco Jason. I really liked the movie Boogie Nights and Meg is from my first name, Meghan. The 2 is my lucky number and back in the day it was like customary to put some numbers up in your SN.

I chose the name from a 1989 film named Tetsuo the Iron Man. I have been using the name for several years. I changed the name to Te75uo because the correct spelling is normally used.

I played (and still do) a lot of FPS games. When choosing a name for Tweak Today, I thought it would be a good idea to name myself "a noob" since in the early days I was one, and now I've been here for over two years it's not as true, but still funny.. imo.

My girlfriend and I were talking about how white I am and joking that I was actually tan. We all know the oreo for black people that are white on the inside and the banana for asians that are white on the inside, so she started calling me "coconut" for "tan but white on the inside" and it kinda stuck

diversal is a mash up of my first and last names, dale and van iersel.
it was coined by the guy wearing the sunglasses in the early 00's in the back of a car during a freestyle rap on the way to a skate spot. hahahahApr 05, 2011 03:49 by diversal-

It's a (nauseating to some) cutesy version of my name. Chosen in part, because it's shorter to type.

It certainly is not nauseating to me ;) Shorter names are the bomb online. Especially with stuff like Twitter and vanity URLs.

Many moons ago when Quake was the online game of choice, some co-workers and I formed a team for the UK Clan League. We were never the best, but it was a good laugh and we got a few mentions in various magazines. When we started it was all a bit of a rush and we all took "power names" derived from our job titles. As my Job was Demand Manager I was given the name Demander. It stuck as a nickname and online presence.

That sucks. At least you found out. You can still change your name if you want to but keeping it also lets you not be "you" now if that's what you want to do.
