On the online sites I have chosen many different names and after a few years they no longer fit me and am unable to change them. So, several years ago I started using my real name, because I know that will always fit me.

How did you choose your poker name?

I chose a nickname based on my real first and last name. Everything is very simple, without creativity :)

Sadly i didnt use the help of rocket science while choosing that ... Although i have to admit that in unibet for example i do have used (not so) creative aliases sometimes (probably in rare cc games aswell) ...

I'm EmilyWT when playing. :) I had an opponent ask me one time what the "WT" meant and I heard nothing else when I said they were my initials. Afterwards I looked it up and apparently WT is slang for white trash. LOL!!

Once upon a time I played a computer game, I really liked it, it was called NOX. I chose this nickname, but since it was already occupied, I added a few 8 digits to it.

Nick should please the player himself, Be positive. Let this be a kind of rule. However, the statistics of poker rooms do not know any positive examples of a good game by poker players who chose names with negative energy. My nickname was chosen because I like to walk a lot since childhood and in order to achieve success in poker, you need to take the main step, which I hope everyone has ahead of them.

Good afternoon everyone, I chose the case of my nick because it's very fun, I've always liked to tell jokes since, everything that has a good mood calls my attention was the thought of my nick, I was a child Rio in brazil, in the city of Rio Janeiro , I'll put the meaning of the word that is in mei nick because I don't know if it has the same meaning in others.
Nick Fanfarrão 1983
translated into english is
bully
someone who hurts or scares another person, often over a period of time, and often forcing them to do something they don't want to do

The google translator I don't think he did the correct translation or maybe he doesn't have that word in the English language Fanfarrão, but here's the meaning in Brazil
meaning of Fanfarrão
adjective
That highlights your own qualities and/or the courage you don't have; who displays a courageous posture without being one.
male name
Individual, who prides himself on his own courage and bravery, displaying a behavior he does not have in reality.
The guy who says he does a lot and doesn't do anything, for example, the guy says he's going to fight with everyone for his friends and when the time comes he fights, the guy runs, that's the Fanfarrão, the guy jokes with that he doesn't know, it's the crazy on the block, lol

I've shared the same nick in several games for years.

It was supposed to be greenkunk, but after losing one of the accounts I had due to inactivity, I created the nickname kunkgreen. It also has NThc! haha

Well, all those cannabis related.
Apparently I like it a lot! hahaha
