Why did you choose your username?

I chose mine because I am a huge fan of Breaking Bad.

 

[Giannis]

It's a rough letter to letter translation of my name from Greek to English. In terms of sound, Yannis is a better word, but we already have a member by that name. In English, I would be just John.

 

[Matski]

I believe my username is a direct, and 100% accurate translation to Russian, from my actual name.

 

[David Brent]

I've been banned that many times that this was one of the few possibilties left.

 

[Deleted member 1071]

A nickname that was applied while living in the U.S. with my family for several years as a very young lad.

 

[CrunchSlaughtered]

Mine is the full meaning of the abreviation CS (BMW CS Concept).

When I joined this forum I was in South Africa and the first generation Toyota Fortuner was released and I just got it the day I logged on the GCF ...

 

[martinbo]

It's a systems username (first name and first two letters of surname) that I got issued at one of my early employers - it stuck with me and my mates.

 

[dalab]

First letters of name and first letters of surname, which unexpectedly resulted in a "word" that looks balanced

 

[Lemantech]

I was 13 and thought it sounded cool. smh

I've put down my pants and noticed an error in them and there you go... ( must joke at my own)

Dude-I "Googled" that.

At first I thought, before "Googling": "Well, if it's Russian, it must end with a "y" rather than an "i".". But then, the plot thickened and...new shit came to light, man.

Stars are beautiful to look at . It's also my gaming tag, but I don't play, so..

 

[hovabongZA]

Was a huge fan of Jay Z ....HOVA still a fan I guess. Shortened slang version of my name Bongz and ZA being my countries zip code .. SA ...which I love.

Yeah as far as I'm concerned it's a made up word and doesn't translate to anything... it's actually a 16 year old "in" joke from the first forum I ever ran, it stuck ever since. There is a place called Matski (when translated) in Belarus, locally called Мацкі, though I assume that's in Belorussian.
