saw in another forum and i thought it'd be fun to start one here in MWF...

i'll go first....

got mine during my highschool days playing multiplayer Half-Life in cybercafes...i was pretty "omnipotent" in that game during those days hence my friends gave me that nick

too bad the gaming society moved on to Startcraft/Counter Strike which i pretty much suck at

takashi78 · « **Reply #4 on:** October 31, 2011, 03:09:22 PM »

Woot mine started in the IRC days where this name would attract the chicks LOL.

Then used the same one for Red Alert, Half Life then Counter Strike as well.

G.MAC · « **Reply #5 on:** October 31, 2011, 03:34:58 PM »

abbreviation of my name. My gaming name from those days would make it hard for me to be taken seriously.

Mine is straight forward. I am new in all things about watch, hence the name "watchnewby".

Cheers.

Mine's a homonym, as in Mr Anderson from the Matrix.

Like the book, we are all in an adventure collecting and learning about watches. Hence The Hobbit.

Friday · « **Reply #10 on:** October 31, 2011, 04:18:23 PM »

Mine is my middle name ( actually it spells Friyady

) also my birth day ...

terrenceterrence · « **Reply #11 on:** October 31, 2011, 04:46:15 PM »

My name lor what else? Just "Terrence" alone is always taken so just double that lor. Nothing inventive nor special

My gaming nick back the days is always something vulgar and antagonising, thus "cumfarkme" is always used during my Starcraft days hahahhaha.

Mods, please censor if inappropriate.

ancs88 · « **Reply #12 on:** October 31, 2011, 08:34:36 PM »

initial for my full name! nothing special!

hanz079 · « **Reply #13 on:** October 31, 2011, 08:51:19 PM »

Nothing special.
Han is my name and while I was working... people called me Hanz or Hans.
So that kinda got stuck with me.
Birth year 1979... tried to use hanz79 for my registration for emails and stuff and always not available.
So I add a zero in front.
Have been using it ever since.

SYSTEM · « **Reply #16 on:** October 31, 2011, 09:57:50 PM »

At least I can see David and Meoramri being as original as possible, like the watches that we adore.

No wonder I am looking at homage watches now, may be due to name, avatar, and tunes are not original, copy from Papa smurf

...time to think for Original
