I don’t know if someone asked this before, but I’m just curious.
Where does your nick come from? Why did you chose it? What’s the story behind? :-)
I made mine using two words: Roxette and Highlander. And why Highlander you might ask. Well, besides I was fan of that TV series, the Costa Rican Roxfans are like those “inmortals” of the series. We are a sort of legend :-p, there’s a few somewhere, we know they exist, but we find each others through years just by chance; and sometimes they just disappear... :-p

Damineh is my name and Gessle is Per’s last name haha. I registered Damineh as my nick many years ago but had forgotten the password when I came back after being absent for a while. So I came up with DaminehGessle. It’s pretty simple for someone who goes around chosing the geekiest nicks out there.

Swaying to the band
Moving like a hammer
She’s a MIRACLE MAN
Loving is the ocean
Kissing is the wet sand
She’s got the look
It seemed appropriate for a Roxette forum.

I used to be into Garbage at the time I picked it and they have a song with this titel. And I kind of liked the irony. But now I don’t listen to Garbage anymore. So at other places I have a different nick now.

@Majdy, I suppossed someone might ask before, but I didn’t have time to look for that thread :-p
Thanks for your replies so far. Some nicks are easier to guess where they come from, but I don’t have idea about others or my guess was wrong.
For example I thought “StupidGirl” came from “Stupid” Rox song. I didn’t realize it was “coyboyusa”, I thought it was “cowboyusa” And I just forgot “The Look” lyrics in MiracleMan’s case :-p
Shane said on March 14, 2004 04:20:
Boring story:
Shane was my nickname when I was younger and only my good friends used it.
Now I live in a different place now and since I have to be a grown up, I go by my real name. When I needed a user name, Shane was the first thing that came to mind.
Majdy said on March 12, 2004 15:10:
yes, I have asked this before :D
My name comes from Maj =Marie’s name, and Dy = my name (MieDy).
when I first sign in TDR, I registered as Roxmarie, but I got bored and want to have something cool. After comes up with so many ideas, I finally choose Majdy, which not only I use in TDR, but also in many things, even when I write things in my newspaper.
