What is a nickname of yours, and where did it come from?

[Sargun]

Howdy.

Tell me a good nickname!  Let's take a break from the serious business of the past few weeks.

 

[Smith]

Iron Eagle was my nickname on my HS wrestling team, I liked it a lot

Muff Cabbage was my nickname on my college rugby team... I liked it less

 

[RagnarBuliwyf]

People at work call me Hamish because I'm scottish, been called that for a few years now.

Muff cabbage?  lmaooo

I'm sorry about Scotland

 

[schirminator]

In high school, I was called Schirm.

In college, I'm often called Goon because I love hockey way too much. Especially the fighting aspect.

 

[Ryan Miller]

They call me "gucci"

 

[Lordship]

His Majesty among my friends

 

[Rin]

My old nick Alex came from a CN Umbrella meme popular at the time. And I normally like to start new games gender neutral so I don't have to worry about being discriminated against or getting free stuff.

Then I went with Sheepy because Sheepy changed to Alex.

Rin because I wanted something that was one syllable and easy to type.

 

[Augustus Caesar]

Imperator Octavianus  Divi Filius Master of Rome and Defender of The Grand Empire

 

[Lordship]

I know @Sargun goes by "Champ" in some circles  

 

[Kayser]

I went by the nick "Tay" for a bit. 

 

[Floating Hippo]

Jareds Footlong (Whipped)

 

[M'ilord🎯]

In the highschool my close friends call me Sinid its simply one of my many names backwards.

 

[Bear]

ehh, i don't really have a nickname so I guess explaining my username would be fine

Many years ago, I decided to change Steam name to Polar Bear in the spirit of it being Christmas. It sort of stuck and from there, the Steam name went through several iteration of Bear themed name including but not limited to Grizzly Bear, Panda Bear, Bear with a Gun, Not a Bear.

Fast forward to when I joined PnW, I wasn't sure whether I'll stick to the game for a long time and I'm bad at coming up with a name so I just went with Bear as a sort of joke name.

 

[Deus]

I don't have a nickname.

 

[Walling]

Chris

Walling

Asshole

Depends on the day and who is talking to me. I don't suspect most of those require much explanation

 

[Micchan]

No nickname, it's just me, so Me-chan = Micchan

 

[Ernsters]

literally Ernsters. Also Ernie (although less common because I started introducing myself as Ernesto in order to phase Ernie out.)

My wife and family call me Ern. 

 

[M'ilord🎯]

Oh i Also  use Milord and Algoz as nicknames .

Milord was actually created and institutionalised by my Uncle. He played a lot of WoW so I don't know about origins, but I have always thought that it was createD with the purpose of me being called My- Lord by other people( except that one guy who calls melurd on Xbox live , dirty Mexican)

Algoz is just Ancient Portuguese for Hangman.
