How did you get your poker name?

[Miffed22001]

Mad question but how did you guys come up with your poker names?
WE got some good ones round here to.

Mine just came from the fact i liked the word 'miffed' (then i had to add a billion numbers on the end)

[bencathers]

its my real name and I wasn't in the mood to be original when I first registered.. then registered for another site and so fourth

[™]

The name I use for poker is MartyMoker. I created it as a satirical calembour relative to the rising the popularity of the game of poker and its adoption to the online community.

[FyrFytr998]

Take a wild guess. :P

Yea, me too.

[DWDuck]

Doesn't everybody just use their real names?

Darkwing

[Pingviini]

This is something I have thought of asking as well.

My story is this. When I was an exchange student in germany my spanish friends started calling us Finns, especially me, penguins because everybody knows how cold it is in Finland and how the land is filled with penguins We were all all talking about "our pet penguins" and stuff and giving each other penguin related stuff, I got a penguin shaped lighter for instance.

Then 1 year after I came from Germany I started playing poker and I was really trying to come up with a c00l name. One morning I was watching a WPT video and I saw Paul "eskimo" Clark playing and there was it! My nick name was to be Pingviini which is penguin in finnish. I just connected eskimo and the penguin stories together.

WTF

[realgenius]

I've been using realgenius as my online name since before the internet. It was my BBS name back in the day. I chose it because it's one of my favorite movies. Who doesn't love that movie.

It's funny though, not everyone realizes its a movie, and I get alot of people talking smack to me at the poker table because they think I'm some arrogant fool who actually thinks he's smart.......on second thought that may be true too. But you should see how many people ask me what my IQ is.

[Xianti]

Take a wild guess. :P

What's 998?

[SinkRox]

I used to use my 2nd name Marsh and was known as Marshy_UK but to me this sounded waaay to much of a pussy name making me sound like a teddy bear and completely un-threatening.

..So i had to think of something nice and original. I was gonna use LeoKey as thats the name of my two cats merged together but decided upon SinkRox which ironicly stands for sinking the rockets...

God knows why I named myself after one of the most annoying aspects of the game but the name just sounded good to me.

I also thought up my bro's name of Rascal_UK.

[LeFou]

998 sounds like a badge number.
"LeFou" is just half of a pen-name I used when writing Me Head. The name was "Mattie LeFou"

[FyrFytr998]

998 is the number of the Union my department belongs to. IAFF Local 998.

"How did you get your poker name?"

Second choice becuase "The GrindHer" was taken.

[Dislexsik]

I got mine from the word dyslexia...and im a bit dyslectic...

[Miffed22001]

dont matter whether your d.y..s...l..e...x..i...c. or not
noone can spell the damn word.
Same as trying to say syphalis (cant spell that either) if you have a lisp

[Sed]

my parents gave it to me... initials

[eeeee]

My message board name pronounces the keening wail of Luddite fear.

My poker names however, aren't nearly as intellegent.

[Dislexsik]

yeh thats why my nickname is spelled wrong,cause its funny in some sort of way

[nomofoshobro]

i think i was watching "shaft" when i thought of it.

[black666]

As I first joined a counterstrike clan I had to think of a name. The clan was "KNIGHTS" and everyone had a name like "HolyKnight", "WhiteKnight", "HornyKnight" and so on ... I've chosen "BlackKnight".
After I left the clan I liked the "Black" part so much (favorite color too) that I stuck with it .. but I had to add something because the name "black" is taken on almost every site, board,.. So I added a "666" because 6 is my favorite number and "666" gives the "black" an evil touch. So "black666" was born and I used it ever since.

[sndp]

sndp is my first name sans vowels. Its been about 3 years since I consistenly used an online monicker. I use bigtune, or some variant of that now and again as well. It's just something me and some friends started saying a year or so ago. On stars, I just use my first name.

[a500lbgorilla]

I actually like your name a lot. You better post g00t.

[Jeebus Kliest]

Jeebus from the missionary simpsons episode...Jeebus Kliest just expanded from that.

[BobbySalami]

Its the name I intend on using when I break into the porn business.....so I figure I better get some name recognition before then so I can get paid more.

[Gatlin Dan]

If I ever sign a rap contract (probably not going to happen; I'm white and have not rhythm), this is the MC name I will use.

[UncleBuddy]

Mad question but how did you guys come up with your poker names?

Mine just came from the fact i liked the word 'miffed' (then i had to add a billion numbers on the end)

Mine dates back to around '90...

I was just out of High School and my recently divorced sister would have me watch my 2 year old niece while she worked. My given name being Tom, I reaaallly didn't want to be called "Uncle Tom" and my neice and I would spend the days watching Paulie Shore on MTV. We would often greet each other with "hey Buddy" in that stupid surfer tone and it just kind of stuck. All my neices call me UncleBuddy and hence my screen name.

[Muxy]

Last name is Muxworthy

So Mux - worth + y = Muxy

[hydroseeds]

A guy in a game I played a while back, whom I always envied because he was awesome, was named "Hydroseeds". And I always thought the name was cool, so I've stuck with it since then.

[Staple Gun]

My message board name pronounces the keening wail of Luddite fear.

The origin of my name gains its roots from an accident I had around the age of 7, which coincidentally is also how the paralysis in my left leg came about. And the reason it takes me forever to get through security at the airport. (damn metal detectors)

[midas06]

Ouch that sounds real nasty.

Mine originates from basketball, someone said i had the Midas touch, so now I'm midas06 (my number's 6)

[fjuanl]

f = first letter of my last name

juan = my name in spanish

l = the second letter of my last name


so orginal

[Demiparadigm]

..So i had to think of something nice and original. I was gonna use LeoKey as thats the name of my two cats merged together but decided upon SinkRox which ironicly stands for sinking the rockets...

This is normally referred to as "aces cracked" not sinking.
Therefore your name really should be "CrackRocks"



For Me: Demi is a prefix. Paradigm is a word. that is all.

[Xianti]

Last name is Muxworthy

So Mux - worth + y = Muxy

So you have no worth?

[Estrop]

I bought mine off Ebay for $29.99

Well thinking of the x/y=(bcd squared) root equation that is the derivative of (mux-worth+y=Muxy)
It say muxy is totally worthless for one reason only : playing at stars (only kidding) :P

p.s long live the boon (get better man)

[Legendash]

Well back in't day i was well into football and Leeds Utd happened to be alright back then so i called myself leedsruletheworld on various football forums etc. However leeds now approximately suck and i doubt that name would even fit on PP. My current name is the name i gave my character in Knights of the Old Republic. When i came to choose an online moniker i just stuck with it, although it does sound a little arrogant. Oh yeah my first name is Ash in case you were wondering.

I also use the name schism as well cause it sounds cool and i like tool.

[nomofoshobro]

That movie is....well....genius! Classic lines in pretty much every scene.

[DoGGz]

When I had originally got the interenet way back in the day I was big into the nerdy community and got into Warez. Everyone had a badass name, so I just thought around and came up with DoGGz-Chaos.

I moved on and used that it to register and found many sites don't allow the -. DoGGz is registered on almost every board in exsistance... But not FTR!

My POKER names I use online are just any random stuff I think of before I register.

I use the name Dreyton for online gaming which is definately unique to me. I'm infamous in some online games.

Also Warcraft 3 King (Wc3King) is my AIM handle. I use this as my handle for games like CS and most FPS.

I really need to take one standard name and use it for everything...

[Muxy]

I am changing my name soon to a anagram or something cool.

[Laeelin]

Back in my Everquest days, My wife's character was a High Elven Cleric called Laeelina...

I dropped the "a" to make a Dark Elven Necromancer called Laeelin

Now I use Laeelin as my name online everywhere because I because I hate making up a name, so i'm sticking with one I like. (and because Laeelin became my favorite character by far)

[cunninglinguist]

Just a little play on words here...

A word to the wise, don't create an account when you've been drinking... otherwise you play as AssOfSpades at PS.

[Les_Worm]

Last name is Muxworthy

So Mux - worth + y = Muxy

At least get your math right.

Mux - worth +y = Muxyy

[Les_Worm]

I am changing my name soon to a anagram or something cool.

I would go with something cool.

[Sykedupp]

Play on words with "Psyched Up" because I was always so hyper, and "Psyched Up".

It's NOT SKYDUPE or anything stupid like that.

My middle name (mothers maiden name) is Sykes so your name always looks kinda familiar

Cool... I've used Syke and Sykes before too.

(hijacked)

i had a package stolen once that was delivered by UPS. it was signed by me, and i lived in an apartment building where noone knew me. i was creeped out.......perhaps i was drunk. or maybe the UPS guy thought he could get some serious cash for that $7 ethernet card.

Dr. McBoy. that's just classic.

[storm75m]

storm75m - Storm is my first name, M is my last initial, 75 is just a favorite number

other names I use...

Renegade - from the song by Eminem and Jay Z "...never been afraid to say what's on my mind at any given time of day..."

Decepticon - transformers... has a few different poker refereces, being deceptive and all "...more than meets the eye... ...robots in disguise..."

OrgnzdKayos - well you can read can't you...

I am short, and I am male.

[Galapogos]

-Chris

That's crazy, I always read your name as "Skydupe" for some reason lol. Man, I am one hell of a lazy reader when it comes to names that look even slightly more complicated than Bob or Stan. Which is strangely ironic because it irritates me when people do the same with my name. Like playing Halo 2 and someone tries saying it over the voice line "Gala... galapono.... galapaygo... galagono... hey guy how do you say your name?". Not insulted on behalf of my name but insulted on behalf of the human race that someone could be so stupid that they couldn't even come close to pronouncing it. Today I am humbled.

Oh yeah mine came from a Smashing Pumpkins song I used to like back in the day and I just stuck with it because I like the name and hate coming up with new stuff. It's not the islands, they're Galapagos.
