My real name is Loek, my nickname at school always was Loekie. I associated Loekie with Loekie the Lion, which was the mascot of the Dutch commercials.
5-5-00 is my birthday.

I've had this nickname for about 15 years so far - my first-ever nickname was "dragon9060", but I used it just for my first email address (still in use, by the way, "thanks" to GFWL).
I needed a unique nickname for the school computer network, I didn't want any numbers, so I settled on (rigorously lowercase) "dani"+"rijeka"; the former is the shortened form of my first name (massive pet peeve: people shortening my name with an "y", annoyance level over 9000), the latter is the city of origin of a part of my family.
Fifteen years later I still find it available 99% of the time, so high-five for your foresight, 15-years-old me

My name is David.. MrDave is generally already taken on more popular sites. So I started using Mistah instead. I use different names on different sites. My others are more imaginative. This was just a I NEED FORUM ACCESS NOW kinda thing.

I was named after my father, Alexander Pope, Sr., when I was born back in 1688. I've used the name for everything since then, such as my poetry career and my translations. Nowadays I mostly use it for virtual truck simulating. When you get to be 327 years old, you tend to acquire a lot of hobbies.

by Elmer BeFuddled
Years and years ago I used to play yahoo pool and my user name was Elmer Fudd58 (DOB on end). My daughter saw this and said "You're more like fuddled than Fudd, Dad".
First time I tried to use Elmer Fuddled it was already in use so I tweaked it slightly and Elmer B. Fuddled (spelt as BeFuddled mostly these days) was born.....
.....And I'm 99.9% the culprit at the end of any web searches undertaken.
