Mine's a little weird...

When I was a kid playing Quake World, I needed to get some sort of online handle. I checked over my father, since he played games also, and his was "Pitz". Pitz is made from my last name...how people failed at pronouncing the first portion of it. "Peitzmeier" is pronounced Pie-ts-my-er. For some reason, people thought it was 'pits-my-er" So, hence fathers name...

I decided it was fitting to take his name, and add a spin onto it. I used to be obsessed with Cyborgs and such, since watching Terminator, and I'd write little silly story's about them. So I just tacked on "Cyber" to the front.

My sophomore year in high school I had a run of extremely bad luck, so my friends started sarcastically calling me "lucky". Then when I started a hotmail account I wanted luckygirl but it was taken so I started spelling it with two r's. I've used that handle or some variation of that for nearly everything online.

I'm pretty unimaginitive. I always use my real name in fora. On usenet I use my first and last name, but on these new-fangled web things just my first. Lots of people named "Ken" out there so I need to add something. "-x8" seemed appropriate. In keeping with the tradition, Zoomy's license plate is "ZOOM-X8".

Mine came from a watersport(kind of).

When I was a kid, and still now, I am the champion of inner tubing. I can do all sorts of tricks and supermans get 6 feet of air off the wake and such. Woot!

Having hot waitresses & bartenders needing your help with the kitchen has it advantages. But I got too old to be out drinking every night to the early hours of the AM. The pay sucked also.

Watched Fast & the Furious 1 when it came out in theatres, and at the time I was a pretty avid online gamer, so one of my names I chose "Velislide" because I remember seeing something like it, and I read it as "Veli-slide", so I spelled it how I read it & it sounded, was pretty off though I found out later, but the name stuck, so been using it ever since.

Otaku is often used in Japan to mean someone obsessed or lustful to something and then RX well obviously from the mazda line of cars. It is also the license plate on my RX-7. I would have used OtakuRX7 originally but I got the plate before I made the forum name and can only have 7 characters in NH. But if your into word games you could say the combo could mean OtakuRX 7 haha

Well, I bought my car in 06; signed onto the forum in 07 to ask about ebay chips So I created a name in approximately 1.5 seconds. Renesis (our engine) 07 (the year at the time) = Renesis07.

Wasnt really planning on sticking around the forum, I was actually very discouraged with my 8 until I joined this forum and learned to properly maintain it and gained support from other 8 owners. So here I am 2000 posts later

PS: Renesis07 is now my username for everything lol, its even my login for stuff here at work

Some names are more obvious than others but the backstories are sometimes quite interesting.

I've had many nicknames throughout life, one of them being 'bones'. Well one April 20th, I was 'celebrating' with some friends in the wee hours of the morning. We we're all completely lambasted. And my buddy was trying to get my attention and kept sayin' my nickname 'bones...bones...bones...bones...bose!' He stopped, and everyone then decided it was a better nickname cause it was easier to say. So here I am, bose.
