Mine is CostieCosta, well i spelled it wrong and never fixed it, it really is suppose to be CoastieCosta. Coastie = for me joining the Coast Guard, and Costa = is cuz I'm from Costa Rica. So No my name is not Costie, just a type error oops. lol.

Mine is obvious. TexVx = I'm a Texas VX fan. On many of my various forums I am Tex + whatever word goes well with the forums. Adding the prefix Tex often gives me the name I want with it. However there is a drawback to that. People frequently expect such a prefix to be a guy, but I am a gal.
When I joined here though I would have been more creative had I realized there was already someone called Texasvx. I at least wish I had called myself TexVeX because that is how I would pronounce the name TexVx. And Vex might suit me since I am a redhead and a Taurus with the typical temper to go with it.

It's also the license plate on my 350Z Roadster. That way, people will assume there is all sorts of expensive camera gear inside and break into it.

Shoota came from my prep hockey days. A few of us were discussing post-goal celebrations and I was getting my balls busted for never doing one. Fast forward to my next score and I pulled out the "Shoota!" from Shooter McGavin in Happy Gilmore and it has stuck. I wore 77 until high school and it's my lucky number.
ISUZUS = ISUZEUS = ZEUS So I named my VX, Zeus - I don't really think I am a god... give me time though, I do live in Utah!

Ascinder was a name that I came across in a dream. It was one of those very prophetic type dreams where some ominous, imposing figure told me that my true name was Ascinder Etherember. Whatever that's supposed to mean , anyways I figured I'd use it on forums and such.
The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable man persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on me.
Thanks for the name change, Moncha. I am now TexVeX instead of TexVx. I'm an annoying, distressing, perplexity now, heheh. Many would agree to that, too.
My callsign, literally, is N0ZAP... the N because I'm in America, the zero because I'm in ITU zone 0. The ZAP part is just a bunch of letters.
The FCC showed a little humor when they assigned me that one.
My login name is just first initial, last name. Booooring.
Dino is really a nicname. Dean is my real name but everyone calls me Dino.
The BANDIT thing came from Rowhard, He gave me the handle because I "stole" a 2000 VX for $5K.
Sold the VX 11-21-07. It was fun while I had it!
Thanks for all the help.
It has been great reading through everyone's posts on how they got their nicknames, or why they chose their handle. I don't post very often, but i enjoy what i read on this forum and what all everyone has to say.
I've been using my handle on-line since 1994. It actually comes from a album title and song written by Freddie Mercury, his first solo work, and whom i beleive to be one of the worlds few musical geniuses. The song is about a simple guy that let's everyone indulge in all their fantasies, thus making him a "bad guy". Of course the album/song i am referring to are Mr. Bad Guy. Its not meant to be taken seriously. just a lot of fun.
I read a post here from someone that enjoys Nightwish. within the past 2 years i've discovered Nightwish after a friend said i should try listening to them, and that i might like the group. The music is definitly different, but amazing. Great to see another VXer into Nightwish, too bad Tarja was asked to leave the band. They wont be the same.
I guess you can say music inspires me.
