In my case, Yirg is a short for Yirgacheffe - my favorite type of Ethiopian coffee beans.

How does one choose a lucky number? You try everything within a certain range and see what works?

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.

Again the naive in me thought Tree is your actual first name, possibly after the former NBA player Tree Rollins (known mostly for this brawl).

Roggan is the thing the villagers in Age of Empires are saying sometimes and was my very first PC game.
And 29 is the shortcut for this chat phrase in Age of Empires 2 which is my favourite RTS till now.

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.

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)

"Mosasauridae" is a family of extinct marine reptiles known as the mosasaurs. :) Really cool creatures; they were apex predators in the Late Cretaceous oceans and some even attacked other mosasaurs, haha!
So cool.

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'm trying to decide if I'm smart enough for guessing you're from Poland looking at your nickname or if I already visited your Steam profile in the past and just don't remember it...

It's pretty common that people from Poland ends their nicknames with "PL". I don't know why we're doing this, I don't see any other nation having nicknames "SexyPigeonNO" or "LittleDuttiDE" xD

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?

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.
