What's the story behind your AskGamblers username?

[amoser]

Hi everyone! I haven't been here for a while, but I hope you're having a nice day. I noticed that some forum members have quite complicated names and it makes me wonder what do they mean? 

[Fiekie247]

Nick names can mean anything from what they used to call you when you were small or nicks names from your child hood or it has something that has to do with gambling or similar since this is a Gambling forum

 

Lets make a few  Examples :

 

Fiekie247 - Fiekie is short for Shafiek which is my real name , 247 I like those numbers not sure why ( I guess it means im ready 24/7 for anything)

Afri4wins - Afi (Maybe part of main name ) 4wins ( Likes winnings, or wins a lot, here 4 winning or something similar) Just a guess

ValDes - (Notice how the "V" and "D" are in caps - Means "Very Dangerous" - Our Guru

Cocopop3011 - Cocopop Ag i think its one of those typical chick/girly names they give themselves ROFLOL( Kidding Sharon) - Similar to Angel or Butterfly or something, 3011 - Birthday?

 

Just kidding, hope more people will respond.

Just wondered what the origin of everyone's username? In some cases it's obviously your given name etc but some others are harder to decipher. 

 

I'll start: Catapult Audio is one of the record labels I used to run back in my wilder days. Most of my techno tunes were released on this label.

We actually have old topic on the exact same subject started by our old admin but let's run this one its quite an old topic.

Hehe!

 

My username is after our old dog. His name was Rocko, he was a Staffordshire bull terrier but afraid of everything so we give him the nickname cocopop. And yes the numbers are a birthday

[Afi4wins]

Good guess there Fiekie mate. 

 

Yep, Afi is short for my real name...and 4Wins is very obvious...that's what I had wanted when I started using it.

Luckily though, the nickname worked beautifully...because soon after, the wins started pouring in! Hahaha. 

 

But now...maybe it should be AfiStoppedWinning instead...???... ...naaah...no way!!!
