But how did I find out - that is the question... images/smilies/shifty.gif

To be honest I've never been sure how to pronounce it either. At first I used "Kah-joon" but I've grown to like "Kay-jun" quite a lot lately. I use the same name for the Land Rover club's forum and they all call me "Cajun" so I guess that's the correct one for this area.They both sound equally cool to me. images/smilies/cool.gif

Shawn · May 12th, 2008, 06:30 AM

Because his name has been revealed on here before. Remember for a while everyone would say rong instead of wrong? images/smilies/lol.gif

It is my first and last name in their ironic, true meaning.

jakifirbec · May 12th, 2008, 09:54 AM

Jaki is a form of my first name, firbec means curious.

SV · May 12th, 2008, 12:59 PM

My first name was -=SLR=- and i only chose it because i saw the brabus tuned slr before i signed up. Eventually wanted to get rid of the lines in the name and change it to something lamborghini related but I was told to keep the name similar to my original name so i chose SLR 722.

swek · May 12th, 2008, 05:37 PM

I have no idea to be honest. Alzheimer's perhaps?

I have no idea thinking of it.

bafranksbro · May 12th, 2008, 05:48 PM

Well my brother's friends used to refer to me as his brother and when he got the nickname Frank, that's another story, they started calling my Frank's brother so I used it as a nickname for the first time playing Enemy Territory while playing with my brother on a clan server he was part of. I added the "ba" part because it's kind of my initials even though the "b" is a nickname, a common nickname for those named Robert.

mautzel · May 12th, 2008, 06:19 PM

I know that the internet's probably the worst place to reveal that, but Mautzel was a nick name my mom used for me when I was two or three years old. No idea why she did though.

Vltros · May 12th, 2008, 09:21 PM

Mine comes from a character from Final Fantasy VI called Ultros. It is still IMO one of the funniest characters I've found in a videogame. Badass and selfish he always tried to make you fail during the game but instead it was him who failed miserably everytime he tried it. Dunno I had never found a character like that in a game and I liked his name so...

I started using this nickname when I played online. Later I changed the U for a V as if it was a Roman U. And that's it.

JipJopJones · May 13th, 2008, 06:28 AM

When I was in Grade 7, we had to make little 5 minute plays. One of the Carecters in mine was named JipJop. (my name starts with a J so that's where that came from)

The Jones part is from when my friend and I used to play Indy Car 500 on PS, our singleplayer name was Killbot Jones, and basically we would just go around ramming the rest of the cars on the track.

I added the two together a while back and it had a nice ring to it.... so JipJopJones I have become!

cookie720 · May 13th, 2008, 08:46 AM

Not so difficult...just search for the Finalgear group, and scroll through the members...

NooDle · May 13th, 2008, 10:34 AM

because I had to pick a name and it was the first thing that popped into my head
the capital D came from a typo, and I've kept it since

viilaaja@pt cruiser · May 13th, 2008, 10:34 AM

efoolution · May 13th, 2008, 10:51 AM

the internet ('itself' and the people "in" it - including me), is getting more and more stupid. that´s not evolution, it´s efoolution ... it´s you and me getting stupider, idler and so on ... thx to the almighty net. That´s efoolution ... and I´m a part of it, my nickname´s my confession.

Mercury · May 13th, 2008, 01:55 PM

Well when I was young I really liked to break thermometers and get the mercury out. And I liked astronomy as well. The nick was just begging to be used images/smilies/smile.gif

teeb · May 13th, 2008, 02:02 PM

Looooong story.

Ages ago I was into the Battlefield 1942 demo when it first came out, and so I joined a Battlefield forum. Needed a username though.

I didn't konw what to use, so I thought about what I was like. Well, I played bass, and one of my friends (jokingly) called me a basstard. Which I liked, as I love puns.

So I called myself 'the basstard'. Unfortunately when I moved to other forums or online games I was semi-frequently kicked for dodgy language (believe it or not). So I took the initials - T B - and run them together, and you get teeb.

There you go.
