What does your nickname mean, and why do you use it?
-
Aiduss originaly it was taken from mythology god called Aeetes this is also some sort of butterfly's.
My first nickname was hellraiser but then I have changed it to this name and now all my frends call me in this name
Why aiduss - I can't explain that I just feel comfortable with that nick -
Panga is my nickname in my second life in capoeira.
-
Oh my goodness - better not mess with Panga!
-
Frederik - is my second "first name"...
I chose Frederik because I know in many countries Kim is often a female name (although it's also used as a male name in the same countries) and to avoid any confusions (misunderstandings), I decided to use Frederik... -
kim,
you forgot to explain your avatar! afraid of being sued for child abuse?
-
my nickname is, you guessed, my given name. not a lot of creativity there...
as for my avatar, it is a good picture of me taken by a student during a lecture. that is, good compared to the horrible results one gets when posing for a photograph.
-
Well Dale is my first name. Although it can be male or female, in this case "it's a boy"
The avatar is a photo of a painted wood carving I did taken from a photo in front of my house. It's a raven on the cliffs edge with a small pocket cruise ship on the water below. -
My last name is Perkis. Since my first name is Jeff and there is ALWAYS another Jeff around my friends have been calling me Perk ever since I can remember.
-
My current avatar is cropped and animated from this Dali wonderment - his thinking machine
-
Lol Gaieus...but in capoeira each nickname has a signification, so don't be afraid, I'm a peacefull guy !!
-
remus is just my first name, not very common so its usually available on forums and such.
-
I actually got more than a thumb that went numb when I was suffering from repetitive strain injury, which stopped me from using my PC for a while.
At least it makes a perfect rhyme.
Not sure if I could find one for low back pain
As for the avatar: I found it on the Explodingdog site http://www.explodingdog.com/
( hope it´s not copyrighted ). That funny character having hard time over some impossible shape seemed quite OK. -

Ooohhh yeah... Sorry about that...
My avatar... Well, it's really simple... It's a smoking baby...
Can't remember where I found it, but I thought it was "funny" and took it...
Although I'm smoking cigarets in real life, it's nothing special - really... -
My anickname [to use its old-English form as 'other-name'] is my initials T+I+G .
I was called that from ~5 at junior school - someone older than me had the same first-name [out of 7 pupils ! what's the chance !!]
Later, I kept it up and signed all my manual-drawings and letters with my initials - so it stuck...
Also near to where I was born the local Army Regiment [of my grandfather] and the Rugby Football team were/are the Tigers; and of course tigers are strong/fierce/powerful/potent etc etc... [or cute/funny if 'tigger'...] - it has little 'downside' except for becoming extinct !!!
I prefer it to my 'real name' - which is a bit 'naff' - BUT my mum [see 'Brief Encounter' lead for a clue...] and close family would still use my original name - as would one of my old-fashioned bosses years ago who wouldn't allow nicknames... I'll answer to almost anything... -
My nickname story ...

I have too many outlandish things to say and my rants often end up in someones search results
A word of warning; a client googled my name one day and found me ranting about the war on this forum. So I decided to changed it. Looking around the house for inspiration I saw the word Linea on the label in a jumper. (There is a UK department store called Debenhams, their own brand is called Linea)As for the avatar, my friend is an actor, for a while he had a drama company called Rare Breed and wanted a suitable logo so I just mashed 2 photos together. I keep thinking I should have a go at modelling the critter in SU.

EarthMover is a play on the fact that I am a landscaper by trade and tend to move a lot of Earth around on any given day......it's also my wife's nickname for me in bed....just kidding on the last part.
