What's in a Name? (username thread)

[Logitude]

Seeing all the signups, I often wonder where people get their usernames and how they pronounce them.

Please post here and let people know! I'll go first.

My username is a portmanteau of "Logic" and "attitude". It's named after the first cat my wife and I had together, whom we called Logic (full name: Fuzzy Logic Tabony). He was a great cat with a chill attitude.

As such, I intend for it to be pronounced with a soft "g". I pronounce it precisely like the word "longitude" without the "n".

Can't wait to hear about yours. Thanks!

[Kayser]

My nick was inspired by Keyser Söze in The Usual Suspects. Obviously I misspelled it.

[Robotten]

My nick has weird and entangled story.

My name is Morten.

During a flight many years ago my wife and I played Yatzy on the ipad - here the AI's are named "something-bot" - like Ivano-bot etc. Hence my name during that Yatzy game became Mot-bot (Mot = strange abbreviation of my name).

Later on, my wife told me I was like a Robot in certain aspects of life (I am sure it was a compliment as we are still married). Hence I sometimes use the nick Robotten (which is The Robot in Danish)

[Suddoman]

In Sweden, as in many countries I suppose, it is customary to use various nicknames for the people around you, based on their first or last names. All traditional first names and many last names are connected to at least one standard nick name. My last name is Sundin, and a usual nickname for people with this name is "Sudden", like for example the great hockey player. When online gaming came about, and in particular online poker, I created an uncountable amount of gaming accounts all over the internet, and each time you had to come up with a user name. I've had many, but Suddoman, or just Suddo, is a nick that has crystalised over time, and today I'm using it almost by default.
