"Rapidez" ("speed" in Spanish) -> "zedipar" (a few hits on Google) -> "zeupar" (no hits on Google) -> "Zeupar" (properly capitalized)

"Hey, I'm gonna register at a forum. Let's see... hm... what should I nick... which is the first object I lay eyes on?"
I guess the correct nick should have been "Cardboard Box", but nah...
XD

"This bag contains some pretty special food. I can't tell you exactly what's inside, but if I pick one up, it will completely restore all my vitality."
Wow, I never knew that item used to be called the Bag of Magic Food! It's funny, since one year later (Kirby's Adventure), the creators decided it looked more like a Tomato.
Well, as for my nickname, I was trying to think of something to put in the username field of the TASVideos Register form, and I decided to think about it during the day. Eventually, I started playing Kirby's Adventure and gained the Ice ability. I decided "IceKirby" didn't sound that catchy, but "CoolKirby" rolled off the tongue. The Kirby series is also one of my two favorite Nintendo franchises (the other is Mario), and Kirby is cool, so there you go.
Plus, when I gained the ability to use mood avatars, I could put a Wheelie Rider Kirby as my avatar (since he looks "cool").
I was playing Skitchin' on the Sega Genesis and I used a nitro. I guess I remembered this when I registered on TASvids the next day. :P
I have no clue why I used a Dodongo as my avatar.

I was wondering about that. Well, I'm glad this thread exists. It's quite interesting to read all of the stories behind everyone's nicknames.

Mothraya...s (that s is for uniqueness, more or less)
And I picked it it the first place because 1) The game in question is awesome, and 2) "Moth" sounds awesome.

Well, my nickname in Portuguese is actually Dico, but one of my nieces could not pronounce it correctly, she pronounced something like Duti and I kind of liked the sound of my new nickname.
Using Google Translator, I searched for words that have a similar pronunciation in English, and I've found Dooty, and I'm using this nickname at all the sites in which I register since then.
I am old enough to know better, but not enough to do it.

I think I posted this in another thread about nicknames but here it is:
I play a lot of Tekken since Tekken 3 was somewhat new and I've been playing in local tournaments ever since Tekken 4 was released. I didn't really have a nickname and used my first name in the beginning but as time went on I got rather brutal in the game and my name has a kind of "kindness" ringing with it, this was about the same time as the Underworld movie had it's premiere in the cinemas here, which I saw, and I still love that movie. Anyway, I thought the Vampire Lycan Hybrid was really awesome, but the name was too long, so I shortened it to Werepire, and then changed it to Warepire because it is more comfortable to type.
There you go, that is the nail-biting, hair-raising, spine-chilling story of how I got my nickname.
One of my classmates used to call me "Iosif" (that means "Joseph" and has nothing to do with my real name) and soon it became my real life nickname. Once it was spelled like "Iofis" and one of it's variations sounded like "Feosiy". Once I came to my friend and saved some files on his computer, and he named the folder "Feos", that actually means god in greek (Theos in latin transcribtion, Feos in bysantic) and has some parallels in runic tradition (there's a rune Feo). That's how it became my "official" nickname and it's now used everywhere.
As youtubers informed me, "feos" also means "ugly men" in Spanish.
Warning: When making decisions, I try to collect as much data as possible before actually deciding. I try to abstract away and see the principles behind real world events and people's opinions. I try to generalize them and turn into something clear and reusable. I hate depending on unpredictable and having to make lottery guesses. Any problem can be solved by systems thinking and acting.

Well, after getting way to Interwebs in 2007/2008, I made my e-mail. My 1st e-mail address was Patryk1023@<nope, won't give to ya full>, which is made from my name (real name: Patryk Starus, englished version: Patrick Starus) and a random bunch of numbers. Then I was registring everywhere using my nickname, which you can see here.
I'm using also variations of my nick. Example? Login to Steam, Skype and my YouTube Channel. There's added "PL" to the end.
<Nach> scrimpy is fretty with her sunglasses on
I'm here. never visible.
I get asked this a lot and don't think I've posted it here. Basically "Bob" was my nickname a friend gave me in middle school, "Mario" is the character from my favorite game series, and "511" is a number you can call for travel assistance that for whatever reason my sister and I had fun messing with years ago. I thought it sounded decent together when I first joined some Super Mario forum in....uhh...2004 or something and it's just stuck.
i pretended to wreslte with my dad in the 4th grade, and his name is john and my name is johnny, so i chose the name youngj because my dad was the oldj. and 1997 was the year i was born, and the lol.....i dont remember.
Mine... it's a bit complicated.
I had an earlier nickname derived from my name, and I used it everywhere, until the day one girl started to stalk me. Then I canceled/changed every account that I could, then proceeded to choose very generic logins from my new accounts. Since I love watching TASes, I choose OmegaWatcher
My first language is not English, so please excuse myself if I write something wrong. I'll do my best do write as cleary as I can, so cope with me here =)

My original name came from the fact I played a lot of Oblivion and I decided to name myself OblivionWalker. Of course that's not my real name. (Can someone maybe change my name back to OblivionWalker?) my real name is not important, yet again if you ask kindly via PM I would be glad to tell.
I’m sorry. Really I am... I am so sorry for what I did. Forgive me.
Kurabupengin (クラブペンギン) is quite literally, Club Penguin in Japanese, to show my love for the Club Penguin VIDEOGAMES, but this is my nick in this site.
My actual nickname, Dekutony is because my name is Tony and I just simply love to play as Deku Link in Majora's Mask.
The reason of the name change is because I use dekutony in many other sites, so just to vary a bit, and for not use MY dozenware name, I made that other nickname.

When I first saw your username it went like this.
""Anti lemon" No, that is showing as if it was written as a pronunciation for a character, "Antylamon" *squee* Digimon Tamers"
Then I began questioning why your Avatar was Mew.
And yes, I did squee.
