This is a topic I've seen posted before on other forums, so I thought "what the hell, why not do it here as well" 
. A lot of you have interesting nicknames, but what made you choose that nick, and what does it mean to you? Also, do you use any other nicks elsewhere on the internet?
Since I got on the internet in 96, I've gone by a few nicks, but after a couple of years, Kazuya_UK kind of stuck. Originally I went by the amazingly imaginitive (yeah right) nickname "Soul Edge" and also Mitsurugi. After a while I changed to "RidgeRacer" for a very short time, and then to "Kazuya Mishima".
As Kazuya Mishima was too long as a nick on IRC, I decided to change to Kazuya, but there are probably about 1000 other people out there that wanted to use that same nick, so I needed a way to make it stand out... so I added the "_UK" bit to the end. I can't remember why I decided to put UK, maybe it was patriotism or something
.
I also occasionally use the name "AngelusKazama". That's a strange name I know, but it makes sense in a way. I was trying to think up a new name to use and couldn't think of anything so I tried "Jin Kazama", "Mr. Kazama" and about a dozen other similar nicks and they were all taken (on hotmail). I was actually watching Buffy the Vampire on TV at the time, so I decided to try "Angelus" and of course, that was taken too. So I thought, let's try "AngelusKazama" as I thought no-one else would be dumb enough to try a name like that... and I was right. So now, I'm either known as Kazuya_UK or AngelusKazama.
You may have noticed that all my nicks have been Namco related in some way... I'm a big Namco fan so I always have done. It's weird though, considering how big an SNK fan I am, I've never had an SNK/Neo Geo related nick as far as I remember. I still have no idea why
So, what about you guys/gals?
