Where did you get your nickname from?

I've answered this question so many times but I'll say it again....

June 2002. I was sick of the name "Pikachu11", it was so generic! I'd just seen Star Wars Episode II (still the only one I've seen); obsessed with lightsabres, total coolness XD. Hence the Jedi. Plus I was going through the Sailor Moon stage that all 12-year-old girls go through, Amara = my favourite Sailor Scout. And there you have it XD. I'm getting a bit sick of this name too but... *shrugs*

Andu: I don't know if this was heard on PC or not (if Renny posted about me then more or less he called me this). Renny (Dusty Pikachu) was talking on MSN one day with me and a few others and he made a typo. He ment to put "Andy" but he made it "Andu". So it stuck with him and now he calls me Andu on MSN. XD

Well, I can relate.
If you see anyone calling Andt, it's gotta two other people behind this.
This started when some member..(Karli XD) made a typo and walla!....4 other people starts calling me that. XD They added another part to the name but I don't wanna get to that. XD
Ah see what I meant when I said "We make perfect evil twins"? XD

As for me, I picked Pokemaster10000 because well....I couldn't make a better name up and Pokemaster just sounded nice for me at that time. And the 10000 number, that was just random. But I do use 10000 in most of the accounts.

Oh, so that's why Ren always called you "Andu." I assumed it was because of a typo but I was never really sure about it, lol.

As for me... I don't know where mine came from. I made it up back in 7th grade as my screen name for AIM and it just kinda stuck. Those annoying numbers that everyone hates are my birthday. And I hate snow so I don't really know where the snowangel part came from... I guess it just sounded pretty or something. And that's like, the 5th time I've explained this on PC x_x
 
Miyu's my real life name, lol.

...J/K...

Okay... Miyu was the name of a character in an RPG that I was in. xD She was the complete opposite of me, but she has a pretty name. =] And I added the "-chan" partly because Miyu was too boring and I was influenced by Kairi's old nickname. xD;
 
Well, Kayleigh is actually my real name. ^_^; All of the other nicknames that I had thought of before I joined seemed a bit boring, so I just chose to use my real name because it would never really get old. (I'm stuck with it the rest of my life anyway, lol.) Plus, it's a bit unique and no one else had used it, so I figured it'd be a nice choice!
 
Like MCD, mine is based off of my very first E-mail address that I got right around when I turned 10. I was only 10 and I wasn't able to identify anything interestng to call myself in my e-mail adress, so I did what every little kid does: type in their initials. XD I later received a message that said "'tmb' is too shor of a usename. all usernames must be at least 7 characters long." I then decided to add "jr" on the end to signify that I am a junior (as in named after my father) and added "_87" after that to reflect my year of birth. Since I started joining forums shortly after that, I just stuck to my email address, with a few variations (such as dropping the last 3 characters altogether as I am here, changing "87" to "05" to reflect my year of graduation, or throwing in the name of my favorite band/pok?mon/food somewhere. XD)
 
I got mine from Pikachu being my favorite (next to Rapidash!) and since Pikachu's my bestfriend (if he was really real!;)), I got PikaPal!
 
Well, Kelsey is my real name, plus it just suits me for a forum name as well as an everyday name. I got sick of Pikawolf after a while. ><

My chat nickname of GreatKawaiiPenguin was from Neo on #miska, when I entered the room he said I was the Great Kawaii Penguin so I took it from there :P
