Why is your Poker name.....your poker name?

I wanted to be just Pokerdude, but there were already 835 of them. So I became Pokerdude 836.

Sorry mine is pretty pretty boring I am from Oz(Australia) and I am a boy so its ozboyy except on Ultimatebet where its ozboyysLove from OZ.

Well mines the same all over.

Had it for years...was always called "wit rot" in afrikaans which translated means white rat. Im one of those unlucky people that do not tan just burn and stay lily white. I was given a shirt for my birthday with the slogan "I am protected by Ratman" and this hilarious batman type rat on it so the name was changed to Ratman. But this was taken on too many sites so as I added too (aswell).

My fill nick from school is - Richard Pilchard Stinky Pinky Cuthbert Cunningham van der Wath. That im not explaining!!!!!

Online name everywhere (besides AIM, someone actually took the name. Have him aliased as "jerk" and have a notification so that if he ever gets online I can give him a piece of my mind ).

Got my nickname back when I was first getting one. I was like 7, and I played baseball and as one of the few kids who could field a ground ball was called "Zach the vac" (as in a vacuum, picking up everything).

No one calls me that anymore, but it's remained my nickname ever since.

My poker name is FlopDeezNutz.

I chose that name for a couple of reasons. The first being that I love Dr. Dre, and his song Deez Nutz is a classic. I added the Flop because as a whole the name represents flopping the nuts.

my poker name is tiggerpooh5
i picked that name becouse i can never think of a name when i need one..
so i picked tigger becouse he is cute and pooh well he is cute to and the number 5 becouse there is 5 of us in my family.....lol

my names raving red because i left a hair dye on too long

Mine is rather simple also, Nick for my name USMC because I've been in the Marine Corps for 22 years.

Mine is uber simple, it's my first name. SometimesI have to add y to sunbird cause some bad person took my name.

I think my name here is one site only. I usually go by the nome de plume of klitkat at most other sites. It's a combo of the two things that I like the most.

n0gan0o hmmmmm Im not quite sure..... lol something different i guess.

It's OzExorcist because TheExorcist was taken on Full Tilt

Exorcist comes from the first live game I played: the dealer decided she needed something to call me and I was wearing my Possessed - Seven Churches shirt. Guess it stuck.

my initials and the year i was born

fwiw there's an old post exactly the same as this: http://www.cardschat.com/f4/how-did-...cknames-74175/

Mine's just because I used to always wear Converse all stars, aka Chuck Taylors. Reminds me I gotta go pick up a pair before spring...

bump for some of the ppl who havent or newer members...

dominoman007 is my name on tilt and stars. i came up with it when i first started playing. i am james bond fan and domino was the bond girl in thunderball. most think it has something to do with pizza, but thats not the case. mozart5 was a poker name i started using on newer sites that i joined. i was getting tired of the pizza references. they don't bother me anymore though. that one is because i love music and simply mozart was taken but mozart5 was not. thats about it. i also have a fantasy football team by the name of "Wolfgangs Puppets". 2-0 so far.

mine is pretty simple.. Andrés is my name, and arg because im from argentina.

Me too. As for MrMuckets it's my grandfathers fault. I explained it all in another thread about eight months ago.

Popovich9008 - my last name is Popovich... born in 1990, graduated in 2008

I play ice hockey and my coach was a 'Nam vet who was off his rocker. We were playing and I checked the hell out of some poor bastard, and our coach stopped the game (it was a practice) and said to everyone that I checked like a horny monkey. Nobody knew if that was a compliment, but most people think it was. So i just kept icemonkey9 (9 is my number) for stuff like Xbox live, etc and just kept it for poker.

my ft and pokerstars name is xXShannonAXx basically just my name with cool looking xxs lol

My poker name is Latvian Queen....Latvian of course for my nationality and Queen, because my hubby calls me his queen all the time. So he is actually the one who created my first poker site name and I stuck with it.

i dunno really, i like saying meh alot i guess...

Cowboy8112 = I was not born on horse back, but I am pretty sure I was concived there. Until I broke my neck in 06 I worked the family cattle. Now I raise pork as the demands but on my body in working cattle were too much. I was born Aug. 11th (811) the 2 is because some idiot already had Cowboy811

SAH89

S => for my name, Steven
A => for my fake middle name, Alexander
H => for the fake last name of my favourite pro-wrestler, HH Helmsley
89=> for the average age of the last few generations in my family when they died.

mines rylflush99 and its that because im hoping to get one atleast once when i hit the tables even tho it never works out like that but its a good hand to strive for with lots of people in the pot lmao

There is even a part 2

+characters

um was from a computer game back when i could justify playing them as not a complete and utter waste of time. My normal online "nickname" was already used, so i just randomly typed some letters with my left hand because i couldn't be bothered trying to choose another and voila....feitr. I decided to use it for poker for the same reason...nobody else is going to have it so it saved trying to make lame variations on my other nickname.

Abbreviation of my last name. It's what my friends always called me so I figured when I finally win the Main event at the WSOP they would know who it is, lmao.

Mine comes from my name on diablo 2. I only played the hardcore version of the game (where when you die you have to start over and lose everything)
and I always ended up dying so much everyone called me dead and I am partial to hardcore music (and hardcore version of the game) thats where the hXc came from. It has just stuck around with me.

I was listening to Snoop Dog way back when and I kept choosing screenames that were taken. The I heard Snoop say "Youzeaflea, and I'm the big dawg. I'll scrach you off my ballz with my mother fn pawz". I have never had trouble with anyone taking my screename since.

My original name was BigGuyZ28. My nephew Billy who was 6'2" always called me BigGuy as I'm only 5'7", so when he passed away, I always used this.

Then I had to change my name due to certain reasons so Billy's brother came up with Z28_RoadRage as I do drive a Camaro and have a lot of rage on the road.
