How did you get your online nickname?

[Alan Moreton]

Chip came from the first few days I was in the RAF. 

Apparently there was a tele series called Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea (a sort of Star Trek under water).  The Captain of the ship was Chip Moreton.  So I was given that nickname that stayed with me for the whole 30 years in the RAF and the 15 years afterwards working on the Apache helicopters as a Civilian.

Most of my colleagues never knew my real name. (Alan).  My missus phoned me at work on the squadron once - and asked to speak to Alan and the guy answering said - "no Alan here love" and put the bloody phone down on her!  She then remembered my nickname phoned back, asked for Chip and was put through straight away!!

I have been called far worse though!

Chip (aka Alan)

Back in the day when internet was new and i still had hair , i wanted to sign up for my 1st forum ever: RobbyNitroz a Suzuki dedicated motor forum. ( which later turned into Oldskoolsuzuki)

As all this was new to me i got suddenly got asked to enter a screen name for the first time 
ATM there was a news flash about mud slides in Italy on the Dutch radio and that sparked my screen name as mud and blubber are the same for us Dutchies.

There is no direct link to my mind or body

Mate of mine thought I was psychic but couldn't spell.
At least I think that's what he meant..

[Stargazer]

Mine is my old CB handle, got it from one of my favourite songs, Stargazer by Rainbow.  Used it ever since when I need a nom de plume.

[Globalrider]

My NN was Shred which I acquired during a very hot trip across Montana when I shredded a PR3 on my Bandit 1200S I made it very slowly to the next town where thanks to a track day rider who owned a tyre changer and a worn out back tire - no sides buhe centre was good I made it back to Vancouver.
That was many years ago and out riding group fizzled out.
My present 'handle' comes from all the videos I have done in the past of all the rides across the world as "GlobalRider Presents". Nothing special!

[Stolichnaya]

Stolichnaya...
Hmmmm. Sadly this stuck to me due to my inhuman capacity to drink an awful lot of vodka.
I only drank Stolichnaya vodka so it stuck.
It's mainly shortened to Stoli
Oddly I don't drink it these days. Not had a vodka for years now. This was brought about when over a weekend 2.5 litres went "missing" between 2 of us and I took a hard look in the mirror and said that's baaaaaad.

So... now I only drink Rum !  Lots of it !
Ought to change my NN to WesterSpiced !

[VladTepes]

Ought to change my NN to WesterSpiced !

No, no you shouldn't.

[Bob]

Bob

[Globalrider]

It think you spelt it the wrong way - it should be boB 

[GSXKING]

What's your name Bob, starts with a B and ends with a B Bob and there's an O in the middle Bob. Cheech and Chong mixed it up.

[seth]

Spelt very wrong ad where @Bob lives it's spelt with an A
"Boab"

[Irish in Oz]

In Oz they call me Irish.

[froudy]

I don't think my forum NN takes too much to explain. My surname is Froud and I've been called Froudy since my early school days..A very long time ago
