[texmex2004]

Back in 2004, I came up with the name since I am from Texas and half Mexican. My original idea was just texmex, but that was taken, so I added the 2004 and it just stuck.

[Angelbaby3570818]

I was on ham radio and started out with Little momma the B---h
and our friends said that it did not fit me so they gave me the
name Angelbaby and it just kinda stuck with me.

Looked just like the gremlin “Gizmo” and that’s what we named him, we call him Gizzy for short.

Grew up to be the most loving dog, follows me like a shadow.

Needed a “nic” and thought this appropriate , Used “Gizz-Moes” on all sites sense we got the little guy.


Gizz

[TPB]

My previous user name at talk was pretty obscene, although cleverly spelled. It is a name I have used in online gaming for years. I became more aware of the respect level in both of these great communities and asked for my name to be changed. Had to come up with something quick and Trailer Park Boys is my all time favorite show so thats what i went with.

[huckleberry234]

[Gizz-Moes]

Each “nic” has it’s own importance to each of us. The “nic”we go by is all we have, it’s our name, our reputation, and what our friends know us as.

I just want to thank all in this forum for sharing, it dose give meaning to the name.

Thank you friends,
Gizz

[ifonlyihad1]

years back, when i first found this INTERNET thing, i noticed you had to have a nickname to chat/forums etc. Every-time i picked one, it seemed to be taken, so the thought came to me... Man, if only i had one of those!!! So it all came together.....ifonlyihad1 :):) So if you see that nick on other sites, chances are good that it is me.

[networkguru]

My cousin was getting free internet until someone secured the router on the wireless network.For Educational Purposes Only,(Mind YOU) he is now connected back to the Network,hence,names me "networkguru".:comfort1::noidea::laughat:

First of all Angel is my nick name from my mom.
My primary school name was guardian angels.
I grew up going to a church named guardian angels.Matter of fact the school and the church was a walkable distance so i went to church everyday..Angels are very close to my heart.so I added ft infront of my name representing the fta.
And came up with ftangel.

[patch]

I had last used the nic patch about 3 years ago on the web. It stood for the older cnx "patch" file which is now not used since n3 happened.
So upon joining here at satfix I got thinking, how does "patch" tie in with the "new" iks.
My avvy and it's "patch" cables was the answer, and i still have my patch handle :)

[HUman]

a lot of these are very interesting,

[zoogor]

My original username was my name. I changed it because of privacy. I choose this name because I love the idea of superman. He is the ultimate boyscout and hero. Unable to do wrong.

[wienerwater]

Had a guy at work, always coming into the control room I work in, mooching our coffee.He wouldn't take a hint, so one night, another guy boiled up some hot dogs for a snack, and before he could dump the "wiener water", I poured it into the remaining coffee in the pot, waiting for the moocher. He came in, sure enough had a nice cup of wiener water induced coffee, and almost gagged.Too funny!
I figured it would make a catchy nick, always a chuckle when I think about it.

Thanks, Wes.I could have made a nick, in regards to another guy at work, always drinking our chocolate milk.Melted down some chocolate laxative, poured it in, give it a shake,put it back in the fridge.He drank half the jug.Funny part, he drank it near the end of the shift, and while driving home, had to stop on the side of the highway to empty his colon beside his car, since he couldn't make it home in time!
THAT is a priceless, true story!

[Sizmasta]

Back when I was a younger pup, I played the video game "off road" a LOT at the local 7-11. The game has a ball instead of a controller, when you get the high score, you had the option of entering a 3 letter name.... I got bored entering in my initials, so one day I spun the ball as hard as I could and hit the enter button 3 times fast.... the 3 letters it stopped on was S-I-Z... from that day on, my buddies called me siz....My friends always told me I was the master at video games, so I guess I'm sizmasta! :tehe:

[MeSat_FTA]

MeSat_FTA is just a play on words. MySat just didn't sound right. I started off as MeSat on forums and then one site had an issue and my account got screwed up. At that time I was just getting into FTA so I just added it.

[bpetey]

2 brians when I was a kid so all of our friends nicked my last name to petey. petey is usually taken so I added the first letter of my first nameyears ago and have been using it ever since. Don't think I could remember another nic.

[Night_Predator]

About 3 months ago when it got really cold we were over run by field mice in the house so I was up all night for many nights empting and resting traps. My kids started saying I was turning into some sort of a night predator. So since I was a little tired of my old user names and using my real name I decided to us that one.

Don't know about the other but I don't consider the swastika as sexy! Hopefully you are referring to the bliss aspects of this ism.

The pratik ("emblem") is the symbol of the Ananda Marga ("path of bliss") movement, which was founded in India in 1955 and emphases social service along with yoga and meditation.

The pratik symbol consists of the following elements:
•upward-pointing triangle representing one's external actions (social service)
•downward-pointing triangle symbolizing one's internal work (meditation, self-realization)
• rising sun symbolizing spiritual progress through the balance of external and internal efforts
•swastika representing fulfillment or one's ultimate spiritual goal

many moons ago, i had a cousin come visit me whom i have't seen in close to 25 yrs., He was not impressed with my BEV channel line up so he tore my IRD apart and BAM all of a sudden he had me everything wide open, I was so impressed with what he had done, I had to study up on this myself, he stayed with me for about a month then went back to Ontario,..well a few years later out of the blue he called me and in our conversation I had mentioned that I had a new source for TV,..free to air TV, hehe "the end of the ROM cards come, and the all new FTA was all the BUZZ, so he said how do you know of this? have you tested it, and I said "yes indeed i have, if you go to Al7bar you can read my post on setting up a coolsat4000....hehe Im a moderator there! " well I blew him away with the fact that I, his loyal apprentice was now a MOD that so he started calling me "miketv" from willy wonka and it has been that since! it stuck..

Mine is what I was reduced too....

[Furtive-Fred]

35 years ago I was tagged with that name because my offfice/lab was in the bowels of the office building I worked in and nobody in the rest of the building knew quite what I did down there.
Come to think of it I don't know what I did down there either but it was something "Bird" related.

[zoogor]

Mine is what I was reduced too....

[RoxieHVNY]

Cool thread!

Roxie was a nickname I got at camp when I was a girl. I can remember the red-headed girl who gave it to me but to this day I have no idea how she came up with it. It doesn't have anything to do with my real name.
HVNY stands for Hudson Valley New York.

[Peachseed]

About 60 years ago my brother would tease me (in front of his friends) by calling me the first part because I would sneak into the pantry and take a quart outside and eat them. The second part and pic is because when you get old you start looking like this...lol

[Hobby]

It was around the year 2000 and the Hobbit movies were popular at the time. I was on 4 websites and chose the name Hobby kinda like an Oman to Hobbit. There was a really nice guy doing avatars for free. I told him I wanted a ghost pirate ship in the light of the moon, it was great, wish I could find it today!
