How did you come up with you GFY Nick (Handle)?
 

R.I.P. TexasDreams.

How did you come up with your nick?

more to the point. .. . how did YOU? ;)

I am 7'7 and weighed 181 lbs when I created this nick in 2004.

My first name is manute and my last name is bol.

Before GFY, I typically used one of two other nicks for all of my online stuff.

While I have been online since the beginning (bbs days), and in this industry since 1997, I did not really get involved on the industry boards until 2003. I simply lurked until around 2005 when I became more active, and then picked this handle based on the niche, and branding. No other reason.

I used the name "Nickname" before but It got confusing so I switched to Nicky, don't know why I use either of em since my real name is Daniel lol. It's been too long to change now though.

Why would you want to know? :pimp

I had to think long and hard about it. Was I going to call myself Paul Markham, Markham Paul of just "A crap photographer whose made lots of money. :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Charly was my first Nick that least a year. It was a stage name I had used in movies as an actor.

Because I am gfy lover and this type of stuff is fun and interests me. :thumbsup

Its my name, as much as I hate it, its what my momma gave me!

pics or it didn't happen ;)

A funny nickname... Perhaps nicknames used for Quake 2...

While working for Coca Cola I developed a device that load tested vending machine circuit boards, I called it Vendzilla
It kinda stuck after that

Oh god, don't ask him to post them again. EYE BLEACH.

When I created my first aol account back in the days of dial up, I had problems finding a good screen name. I ended up with ilibarcodesili, aol used sans serif fonts and it looked like lllBARCODESlll. This sounds ridiculous now but back then I used to customize my aol profile, make it animate etc using aols butchered version of html. Everyone who did it had a cool, hackerish sounding name and that was mine. =D

I widdled it down to barcodes over time, I guess out of laziness? lol

you're 7'7? good lord!!! youre about a foot taller than my brother and he's tall!

It was the first one I used back in 2005.

When I created my company I tried to think of something that was easy to remember and would stick in your head. Sarah Designs sounded silly. Z is a very unique letter that does not have that many common names starting with it that I could think of. Zoo something was what I was trying to use. I was working on cam and running a cam studio and had a model named Zuzana and fell in love with the name cause it had 2 z's in it.

Easy. TBS stands for The Barcelona Summit and Andreas is my first name.

As you will all realize now: My nick is outdated, as The Barcelona Summit became The European Summit ... so my nick should read TES_Andreas now :)

How did you come up with that roll eye ball avatr dude in it?

i am a nice girl ...

I drinked some german soda, and company name made that is pronounced 'seeandsee' (S&S) , so i found it interesting and used it for my first registarion with funny little avatar :) :)

I'm a big fan of the The O.C.

its my nickname in real life

Cause my nick is dirty :# And I like dirty things....greasy stuff.....like GFY.

My name is Richard, and I changed the "i" in Richard to "o" and came up with "Rochard", pronounced ROCKhard. It's because I'm "always hard at work", meaning I have a stiffy or I'm a hard worker - but usually both.

Think it's camgirls

Because I'm one Horny Dude!

I've used sarettah since around 94 or 95. I needed a unique username for swbell I think it was and I had the word hatteras written on a nearby piece of paper so I typed it in backwards and have been using it since.

Little did I know that it is apparently a girls name in italian.

My real name is Russ

I built a site for a Playboy model back in 97, a bunch of us were in Vegas and she kept telling everyone what a wizard I was at building websites. We went to the Excalibur to shoot craps and there's a little wizard on the $100 chips named Wizzo, so she started calling me Wizzo along with everyone else and nicname just stuck. :pimp

I got the spaz nick because I ask a LOT of questions. sometimes one answer will lead to multiple questions and I tend to get excited about good things and upset about bad things... sometimes out of proportion. The labz was added when I started a video editing/trans-coding company years and years ago (now defunct). And I liked the sound of spazlabz

Got sober, but realised that its an ongoing process...

I think mine is pretty self-explanatory.

You look pretty good for a dead guy, but I can see in your avatar that you're a little bleached and bloated - decomp will do that to you.

too many guys named mike on the old ynot board
since i owned centerfolds.com and gatefold.com, it was either Ron (Cybererotica) or RB (Maxcash) started calling me MikeFold to distinguish me from the other peeps named Mike.

Funny, I still get invoices to Mike Fold as though thats my real last name.

nick name in college

I used to give you shit because of your car and cause I thought you were kinda creepy, but now, seeing that you are a father and your intentions are good, I am a fan of Rochard.

Have a nice day.

My imaginary friend's name ...

I actually had two nicks registered here,but forgot pass,which is why i have different nickname on several boards.I used this nick in games,and i think it came from words of dark templars in starcraft where they were saying something like "for tel kelar"so i came with klen telar and adjusted it to klentelaris.

Got into an argument with a dude on an MSN chatboard way back when, and said, "I will amputate your fuckin' head dude..." and began thinking, that would grab attention when I needed it and it works well shortened (Amp).... thus the name.

It's not a very interesting story and doesn't have any deep esoteric meaning, but it's the truth.

.:::thumbsup:.

another myth shattered:disgust

Something to note though... I've given a different story every time one of these threads pops up. :winkwink:

It's my name. The McD being McDonald. Which is funny since that's where half of the board works... ;-)

Yes. You said it was a teacher who said it before.

I remembered in one of the threads and you denied it!

:1orglaugh

I don't think i've ever given the same story twice, lol :1orglaugh

I'm from AlaBAMA :)

you should change your nick to "O MANUTE "

2003 my first nic was " eddieinaz "

2008 "sundevilangels"
which was banned due to all the hate towards my work after defending myself against
all the false claims only made by rival shooters or, companies trying to ruin my rep to only keep me shooting for them.

2011 "SDA CASH" current and hopefully last.

cuz i just am

My nickname has been "Loki" since I was about 5 if I recall right, a family friend dubbed me that after the Norse god Loki It's a good and bad thing depending on how you look at it lol

my first nick on GFY was VDC-Loki which was for "V1rtualDesires Cash" the first incarnation of my program which then became Plane***ash.

I finally got the VDC- dropped on most boards and now am just Loki

-Loki-

cuz "Paul Markham" was already taken....
