where did you get your nickname / username ??

My name comes from that old Xbox game "Jet Set Radio Future" where one of the main characters is named Yoyo. I used it one day for my KOTR character and that transferred to chatango. I stuck with it ever since on the internet.

I really don't think I need to explain mine. LOL.

Mine doesn't really have a cool story like others, Meeks is my name. So yeah.

**Rock Daddy** · Mar 28th, 2011, 10:20 AM

My username is one of many nicknames given to me by friends. With a name like Rocco, you hear many. I believe the first time I heard Rock Daddy was actually to refer to my beat up pickup truck in High School. I'd give my friends a ride in the "Rock-Daddy". It had a nice ring to it, so I started using it for a username. Other nicknames include but are not limited to Roc, Rockus, Rococo, Count Rocula, Doc Roc, Rocco's Modern Life, and Rocco P. Coltrane, among others.

Back when AOL ruled the world, I had to pick a chat handel. I was really into NiN and decided to name myself Halo. Total Fail Ensued! I got the H, changed the A to an O, doubled up on the L's and got the second O right. And thus spawned Hollo.

That name stuck for a long time. I was a BBSer for many years under that moniker in the 612 (now 612/651/763/952). Ran a board called The City Of Angels. Good times, good times.

Then the world got bigger. Enter, the, internet. Never would have guessed how many people on the planet have Hollo as a last name. And I refuse to put numbers after a handel unless they are added for a reason other then un-originality.

So, then came the task of picking a new name, but not loosing my name in the process. I wanted to make it sound like a greek god, or something like that.

Hollomandious (Hole-Oh-Man-Dee-Us) was born. Bow down bitches.

I'm not going to lie: that picture has always disturbed me a little bit.

Mine derived from being on a music BB, I've had many different handles going back to prodigy chatrooms. I was going to go with Mr and my last name but I didn't like the way it sounded so I just put my first name in. Then I was required to have numbers in my username for other sites so I added the 101 as in I'm either going to school you in my ways or get schooled!

I read too many Sgt Rock and Haunted Tank comics when I was a kid. Always like the classic cigar chomping dude. The name was derived from my Left for Dead days.

From Gears of War. When I do really well, I like to trash talk (to friends not anonymous gamers, not a complete asshole). I would generally pick Cole and shout his quotes and one day an American friend of mine just called me it and I adopted it. That must be at least 4 years ago now I think.

Most people call me "Train" now or "The Train", which I absolutely love. Actually an awesome nickname to have ha
