"Ten" as in one of my old nicknames, which i hardly ever used.
"Finn" as in "FINN CRISP", lol. Nice bread.
"Vo" as in the nickname mentioned above.
This is a bit more complicated than i thought.
About my nickname in steam- i tried to come up with something fantasy-like, because phrase "tennfinnvo has defeated Jace Beleren" looked kinda lame. So i came up with "Naver Edelcast".
"Naver" is "Revan" backwards. Kotor is freaking awesome, btw. First part.
"Edel" as in "Edelweiss". I like this word.
"Cast" is pretty much a random ending.

Don't know how the Zomby part came to be but I started using that nickname in games when I was a teenager. (I'm 38, so that was a very long time ago) The "2D" part came from college where people started calling me that because I was so skinny that they said I couldn't possibly occupy 3 dimensions. As the internet grew larger and "Zomby" started to be taken on various websites I simply added the 2D to it in order to differentiate myself.

I had to think of a name in a short amount of time, I originally came up with Shane6169 but then I was like, too many numbers so I decided, I'll keep my name in it, so I just stuck with Shane for a while. Then one of my friends kept saying, "Killer move there, Shane." every time I killed him in Quake 3 Arena. So Killershane popped up in my head.

I used to have a different nickname (in fact, I've worn out quite a few over time), but I first started using "Aargh" (or "Aargh!" when possible) when trying to sign up for something and all of my usual names were already taken. Since I hate adding numbers and shit to the name just to make it unique, I just started coming up with new names, but every single one was already taken. It got kinda frustrating so I entered "AARGH" (more or less as a joke), and it was accepted. After a while I decided to stick with it, and now I use it almost everywhere.

I bought Battlefield 2 and I had to come up with something, I was having troubles with choosing a right name so I pick FinnishForce and since then I have used it everywhere. It's rarely already in use, which is nice :)

I chose Incognito Mosquito because it made me laugh when I thought of it some 10 years ago. I didn't actually use it for a couple years after that because I already had a nickname. After I got tired of that one, I remembered Incognito Mosquito and it stuck. Unfortunately it's just over the standard 16 characters most websites give you for a SN, so I shorten it to Incog.

Back in 99', I did a LOT of soul searching. I wasn't quite sure who I was anymore. I had recently lost my first job at a hospital in Colorado, along with my girlfriend. My dentist-father no longer wanted to see me, because i didnt want to be a dentist. I no longer knew who I was. I was lost, the old me was gone. I did a lot of traveling, to cure me of my woes, and try and leave my past behind. One day, while walking the side of the Nile river, I noticed something. A very big star. That star told me I was RealDrAwesome.

Nicknames are something special... they are choosen wisely and nearly all of them have an interesting story behind it.
Tell us your story :) Why did you choose that nickname?
I will start:
I've chosen "Dotty" some years ago. It all started with a smiley face i wanted to copy and paste as my name... accidentaly i copied only a part of that smiley. so my name was just "•". But at some servers at CS:S, admins where complaining about my name, because they didn't know how to call me... so I named me "• Dotty". Because its a dot and so on xD
Thats the story of my nick.
What about your nick? :D
