Back in high school (this was six years ago), I played lacrosse for two years - as a freshman, I had a huge "jewfro" and because all of the jackass seniors liked to haze freshmen, they automatically assumed I was Jewish and came up with an appropriate insulting nickname: Salkovich.

For some reason this was hilarious to them, but I didn't really mind the nickname and basically just grabbed onto it for my own use. It's pretty much my handle for anything on the internet I don't feel like using my real name for.

Sweet power of the Jewfro!
I have one too, but I don't get a nickname out of it.

It served me well - I have to keep it shaved down now though because I live in South Carolina and I'd die of humidity and overheating otherwise.

Tad was the first one to ask about mine back a Gencon (kudos also for being the first person I've meet to guess its origins correctly!).  Sandrock was the name of my favorite Gundam off of Mobile Suit Gundam Wing.  I had actually forgotten where the Beyond part of my name had come from (thought it was a random addition I had added), but as luck would have it my Mom actually reminded me where the name came from.  Around my sophomore year of high school I managed one night to convince my parents to watch Gundam Wing: Endless Waltz.  When my Mom was looking at the custom designs of the mechs made for the movies (specifically Sandrock) she told me it looked nothing like the show design.  I explained to her that it was an upgraded model inadvertently calling it Beyond Sandrock (since I had forgotten they had the "Custom" header added to their names).  Afterwards I decided I liked the name and took to using it as my handle.

Well, Mckma is just an amalgamation of part of my first and last name...

A more interesting name is my old screen name that I have kind of phased out (Zelda Bando), which was pretty self-explanatory as being related to liking the Legend of Zelda and being really involved with marching band in high school (which I don't do anymore, so not as applicable)...

I pulled out onto a freeway into a pickup truck 6 days after getting my license.  No one was seriously injured, but both cars were totalled.  I thought I made up 2455, but found out it was a friend's address a few months later.  I've been using this handle since '04.

This is my sixth screen name that I've used.  I tend to evolve and alter them as I move on.  The Last 76 is a play on my signature and the fact that I'm a bastard.  As in, literally, parents were not married before birth bastard.  Before this I was Ballscratch, an old nickname based off of a guy with a lisp trying to say my last name, before that True Zealot, then That Damn Mouse, then Anymouse and originally Master of the Lazarius.

Um, my name is Sean and I like robots?  Before that it was Sea Dracula, also the name of the best rpg ever. Earlier than that it was Piklom, a character from a comic I will never make.

Also I went by the name Chickenrocks for a time.

I'm not really sure why.

Just some name I thought up when I started the internet. I signed up for various things with it so even though I don't think it's a very good name I stick with it.
