qintar is the name for money in albania, i thought it was neat cause it has the q, but is lacking the u, one of the few words youll find that has a q but no u. i used it playing scrabble once, caused quite the uproar until it was discovered that it was a word, the qintar was my aol name too, so i just carried it over to here
 
Some people that were coming to see my bands didn't know my last name so when someone asked them who I was they started saying Its just fu&%^$# Henry Once they got to know me it evolved into Henry Fu&*^%# James and then to Henry Funkin James to just plain Funkster all wich took a few years. Pretty Strange how nic names come about!

BiskLimpkit = Limp Bizkit backwards...that was a chat room screen name of mine, and people called me Bisk for short..Shaggy2Dope is my favorite insane clown...combine em and whatta ya get? BISKI2DOPE! Woo!

My nickname is phreaky
it started a long time ago, when i was young like you kids. a friend of mine said that i was a bassfreak and i liked it....i registered with that nickname and i lost the password....and then i registered with freaky1 because someguy always said freaky1 too me so i registered with that and i lost the password and had to register again and i decided to have phreaky because i don´t know why...
:)
 
It's my name, really.....I swear......

...well, it is. My middle name is Gardner (gotta last name for a middle one), and the family just shortened it to Gard (I also had a great Uncle that went by the same name), just like David will become Dave. Sure beats the heck out of going by my first name, Anthony or Tony. Not that there's anything wrong with being Anthony or Tony, but there's just enough of 'em already. Besides, I'm not a "Tony", I'm definitely a "Gard". :D
 
when I first started racing cars. I am a big fellow (my mind and heart follow) and I was racing a Datsun B-210. Rather than have people make fun of me, a big, dumb, slow guy in a small, dumb, slow car, I decided to make fun of myself first. My last name is Hamilton and my father was referred to as Hambone when he was in the service, so it was a natural - "Hambone Racing" - all of the guys at the track called me that and it was a great way to make friends.
 

Jason Newstead rocks! The members of my band think i look/act like him, phhhfftt! :) nice compliment tho don't ya think??

Well my nickname came from being a chat room where they RolePlay in a medieval genre. Seeing as i love medieval stuff i just chose it... pity millions of others do too! Merlin's also a cool name that pulls the chicks, don't ask me why, like on icq i get a random message from a girl and its "cool name...". sad sad sad :D

Hey it was either Merlin which everyone knows, or the name of my band Angora, which means a hairy goat.

Merls
 
Mine comes out of the James Bond movie "Tomorrow Never Dies". I started using it back on the Tippmann Pneumatics paintball forum, then just decided that it would be convienient to use the same username (though not the same password of course) on all of my forums. Thus if you see White_Knight on the FDP or Tippmann forum then it's me!
