[Mackelangelo]

Growing up my favorite ninja turtle was Michelangelo and he was one of the reasons I thought nunchakus were cool as a kid. My last name is Mack so I just put cool and cool together and came up with this.

[OlsAlty]

My Last name sounds similar to the Saltytoes. And And after many years of kids making jokes and i was younger it kinda stuck with me And everyone just called me Salty for short. Found out one of my closest friends now started the Saltytoes back when we were younger when we were enemies. Over the years my name kept Adapting from Salty, To OldSalty , And even Cap'n Salty. So OlsAlty Is just Shortened OldSalty.

Very nice Thread idea!

[junfan]

  my username "junfan" was the original name of Bruce Lee in Cantonese because he is my idol in terms of martial arts and his bone-breaking nunchaku techniques.

[Oddstorm7]

 Oddstorm...

  first you have to know that when I was a kid, most of the boys my age made up "codenames" or nicknames they called themselves or introduce themselves as. I went through a few weird ones but I didn't keep most of them.

  When I founded my parkour team back in high school, I kinda introduced this idea that the name your born with is simply what your parents choose to call you. that you should go by what YOU call YOURSELF. you can choose anything you like, first,middle, last name, a nickname, a spiritual name, a screen name, anything.

  at that time I was Squall. I always enjoyed that name, being it was what I used in ceramonies back in my pagan days. then...I droped it because of the similarities between me and the videogame charater (final fantasy 8 / squall lionheart). I had deleted my old e-mails, and was changing my facebook at the time. so one day it came to me while staring at the clouds day dreaming.

Odd = my unconventional personality. I've always been recognized as weird, bizzare, akward, and VERY unique. I was bullied in school for acting different, but I did it cause I always follow my heart and be myself. so nowadays, I wear the title "freak" with pride.

Storm = I'm a HUGE nerd when it comes to things like elements, mythology, astrology, and things like that. I've always felt like I associated with Wind and many of my habits and my overall personality had been described as being that of an "air type"...even though I'm a leo (fire sign). I feel most comfortable when its raining or cloudy outside. I've study meteorology since childhood (early pilot job fantasy) and most importantly, some of my most productive, impressive, and most EPIC experiences and sessions in using the nunchaku have been during severe thnderstorms.

[Odd+Storm = Oddstorm  (Fourteen is my favorite/lucky number) two words (odd/storm) 14/2 = 7 ] = Oddstorm7

[Linck]

Comes from the main character of the "Legend of Zelda" videogame series, "Link". I just put a "c" to look more original. I have been using this nickname on the internet for some years already.

[Misterpink1986]

A few years ago I was thinking about a new username because my standard one was already used. (I guess the platform was Ebay )

While I was considering I remembered a German  -movie  

Here's the link:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=--w9MsyqH3c&feature=relmfu

Activate the subtitles and watch from 8:50 minutes, it will explain itself, if you speak German you won't need the subtitles.
And if you want to watch the whole movie, do it, it's pretty funny. (For the subtitles you have to watch it on YT)

Back to topic, I just added the year of my birth and now I use this name almost everytime I make a new account  

BTW, nice thread

[metalbird]

Interesting topic and fun to read on the many ways we self-identify!

Metalbird comes from 22 years of flying aircraft (ie. metal birds) in the U.S. Navy. I liked it because I most of my flight experience is in the P-3C Orion, a submarine hunter. Most of our time is spent at very low altitudes between 50 to 1000 feet. At these altitudes over the ocean, you hit lots of pockets of cool and warm air which makes most of these flights quite bumpy, almost like the plane is flapping it's wings. Kind of a running joke among the crew, especially when we had a new junior pilot at the controls.
