A thing about NickNames

[EmeraldTiger]

Y'all call me ET.

Emerald = Birthstone
Tiger = Chinese Zodiac + I like and collect tiger pictures and figurines.

[Pella]

I like and collect tiger pictures

...and sometimes give them an "emerald" hue.

[Chapuz]

Emerald = Birthstone
Tiger = I like and collect tiger pictures and figurines.

And you work in the reproduction part of a zoo, specially with the tigers

[Rutarete]

This made me laugh. And since I'm posting here, might as well add to my previous list of nicknames:

My name is often shortened to just Rut or Ruta, and I don't mind at all. I still like the sound of them both.

Rete - a shortening used mainly by Lorem (aka Absol)
Rutalator - sometimes I'll use this when going afk in chat.

[RavingRabbid]

For those who still don't get it, I am most certainly "RR."

Or RavRavRav when your name is Dragoon1140.

[Dopha]

Dopha/Dophz for most games i play... no idea where i took it from lol.
Just call me Dop ^^

[Demonite]

Demo : sounds like a..... something
Demon : pretty fine with me.
Demonite : the full nick. I have no more nicks than these. But people just call me with Demonite.

[Zso_Zso]

"furbs" started with being the chat name I used as that was what some people called me because of my username before. People on chat use it after I put it up like that.

"furball" so much more elegant. Also matches my avatar!

What about furby ?

Spoiler for Furby:

And since I got into the thread...

Zso -- most obvious and often used shortening
ZZ -- advocated by bripod originally in War5 team-chat, short and quick to type, I'm totally fine with it too (its my IRL initials BTW)

[pervepic]

Well, guess...

I prefer to be called perv anyway. Nice and simple.

[Chapuz]

Zso -- most obvious and often used shortening

I guess you were the last one in the pupils list at school, either ordered by name or surname. Unless there are many common names starting with Z in your Canada

[AnnaMall]

Thats the nick I used since videogames became online. It is a word play around 3 things. Animal cause I dive head on to the game, Anna Malle a porn star from the late 90s and a nickname that sounded feminine to confuse even worse.

Many people picked up on the animal and I think higs was the first in this community. Almost everyone that got to know me better asked the question about male/female and noone made the conection to the actress...making me feel OLD

On the way people called me many things but the one that kinda sticked and I grew to like was Maul. It started in war 4 when mithcairion came in team chat a few days after auction ended and saw a massive imput on the spreadsheet he was working for months. Somehow it spread outside the chat and reached the ears of jenkar...Took me a while to get used to it, but now I find it very entertaining cause it adds another level to the original nick.

Despite all these you can call me whatever is easier for your keyboard fingers 

[rob77dp]

I'm pretty sure only Rob or rob get used and I'm fine with either.  As long as I know you refer to me, whatever you want to use is fine. 

Edit:  Or, of course, the full rob77dp.
