well in my case, it was the number of all my classroom books. my first-grader logic thought "oh hey, a double-digit number, both digits are the same, its on all my books, obviously its lucky!" then it just kind of stuck after that.

It's a nickname from middle school based on my nickname Trey.

I thought I already seen topic like this here, but whatever, I'll tell again.
Some time ago I decided to change nickname to something that easier to find (when you say "search for my nickname on steam" and there is like a twenty users with the same name - it's no good), so when I was sitting and thinking about it I look at my cat, and thought "Рыжий хвост" (sounds similar to "ryzhiy khvost", the nearest translation is "ginger tail" or "red tail"), and then I thought - hey, that would be nice nickname! So, I make it one word with connecting vowel "e", transliterate it, and took it as nickname. If you pronounce it in English it's probably sounds different than I intended, but I don't want to change it now :)

I'm sure these kind of threads get started every year or two, but since the active userbase in this forum changes over time there's probably no harm in starting another :-)
I would never hazard a guess as to how to pronounce your nickname, but it sure is original and has a nice meaning to it.

I like this kind of threads, some people have really interesting stories behind nicknames, so I'm totally don't mind you started it)

Honestly, I have never attempted to read your name)
По какой-то причине мой мозг автоматически пропускает транслитерацию( А если я пытаюсь то обычно спотыкаюсь на каждом слоге, не знаю, поймут ли меня многие)

I know many people who can't read transliteration, so you are not the only one)

MaKiPL
Ma - First two letters of my name.
MaKi - Name in japanese. I'm into japanese things, so yeah.
MaKi+PL - This is of course country code, which I could replace with something else. I don't know yet with what.
EDIT: Almost forgot. In Polish movie "Haker", there was a main character- Marcin Makowski, whose friend called him "Maki". I probably stole it from there. My nickname is... 10 years old?

I used to like this...band when I was younger.
Nickname could basically mean "someone who likes that band". Silly. But ehh... I never had luck with having proper nicknames. I just suck at making them for myself so I stick with that one, basically because I don't see a point in creating another one when I would start to dislike it over time just as with any other before. Though in sometimes I reversed it to get Kiniap... that went a bit better, but I didn't change it to that

igel, or correctly, Igel is the german word for hedgehog. I'm a bit on the short site, nearsighted and sport a spikey hair cut... so Igel.
I use the lowercade i because I gets sometimes misread as lowercase L. And 2005, because that's when I first used it as a internet nickname, in RL I've been called the first time decades ago.

That's a pretty cool nickname. "Igel" without the year would have been even nicer, but you somehow chose a short 4 letter German noun that can't be used by itself as nickname on most sites. I don't speak the language, but this seems well below average word length, no?

Actually, many animals have short names! :D Hase [hare], Fuchs [fox], Vogel [bird], Hund [dog], Katze [cat], Fisch [fish], to only name a few. Kinda just like in English :P

Republic of Mancunia (or Republik) is a thing associated with my favourite football team and that was my username on a football forum I was on. Found that Uranium Falcon Bicep was a anagram of Republic of Mancunia not long before signing up here and I thought it sounded sort of funny/quirky. It was in my mind when picking a username here only I changed the Bicep to "Punch" for the hell of it because a falcon punch is a thing related to gaming.
