- - How did you come up with your username? (https://www.team-bhp.com/forum/shifting-gears/11531-how-did-you-come-up-your-username-6.html)

i got mine from pet name in college..some one kept due to huge fascination for martial arts/films etc...continued to keep that since i will get sure shot acceptance from any new account creatiion in any site...there won't be any duplicates...so worry free registration!!

My Names Avinash, I chose the nick Kaizer Sozay, Its the name of the main character in the Movie "The usual suspects" Awesome movie.

My nick? in a forum like t-bhp it had to be related to car, so came "Driver", then in indian roads, i'm always a "novice" in driving, so come "noviceDriver".

The first time I ever rode on a car was when our Headmistress once dropped me home cause our school van had broken down in her Rover P4 105R. That was when I was a 4 year old. That memory and the name stuck on. She did drop us a few times after that 1st incident. I always wanted to buy that car when I grew up. Could never find it by the time I was old enough to buy it....

Well, that's my story!

Stumbled upon this site while researching on the Indica Turbo which i bought eventually. Was in a hurry to register and get on board the site. The word Turbo was the first to come up and freak was my NFS nick.
Just realised that there is one more Turbofreak (many apologies to you buddy), want to change it though, if thats possible. Moderators please respond.

i graduated in Y2k, which was the most hyped topic for the S/W industry that year. I knew people will forget it within few years, so i kept it as a memento. I use it almost on all sites, and never faced any problems of already existing name....more reason why i stuck to it.

vivek+in+Y2K

mine is Vikram spelt reverse..........that doesnt mean I like driving in reverse though :D

something i started doing during teenage!!

Had seen the movie takdeerwala when i was pretty young..and in that Yumraj used to keep sayin.."HUM HAI YUM YUM HAI HUM"..kind of liked that..nd made a nick humyum in yahoo and msn ..and continued using it whenever i made any news ids..:D

Mine was really difficult. I had to think for hours about what name would suit me. After planning for a whole day, I came up with the right name for me.
Hope this helps.
Boom.

as the name says, I was fascinated by the star wars saga and the name lukeskywalker seemed unusual, hence my nick

Hmm, I have had this facination for martial arts since I was twelve. Later I become a big fan of Japanese swordmanship and their warrior way of life. Samurai is the name of Japanese warrior class. So I figured it was a good name to adopt. Incidently, the name of my community also means soldier in the local langauge.

real name too long, wanted anonymity when i joined another forum and started using the nick given by my uncle and now same holds for all online forums

My Name is Senthil which is a common name in South india .So just took the last part of my name "Thil" which also means "Brave" in Tamil.
