[Thordic]

There used to be a hockey team, for those who are old and follow hockey, called the Quebec Nordiques(They are now the Colorado Avalanche).

Thats pronounced Nor-deeks for the French-impaired. Now, Ive lived in NJ all my life, and I was a Devils fan up until I went to school with one of the players daughters and she was a *****, after that I was a Rangers fan. But, my moms family all come from Canada, mostly Quebec, and a lot of them were Nordiques fans.

"ques" looked a gay and french, so that got changed, and I dropped the S since its just me. I swapped out Nor for Thor since it sounds cooler and still sounds pretty close.

Hence, Thordic.

So, as you can see, its SUPPOSED to be Thor-deek, which is how I always imagined it in my head, but its effectively become Thor-dik since so many people have mispronounced it that I've started saying it that way.

And yes, I've heard all the jokes, so don't think you are original or funny.

I never thought of that until you mentioned it, but now it's just too funny.

[RRfireblade]

<<<<< as in CBR900RR and now CBR954RR and I hope to be CBR1000RR in a month or so,as it's called in Europe.....Fireblade.

First nick I ever had on a motorcycle forum,'cept everyone had Fireblade or some combo of it so I added RR in front and apparently no one else had thought to do that so.It's pretty good for Forums 'cause if they don't use "Jay" they use Double R. Works everywhere I've tried so no changing it now.

AKA, "Jay".

[Sparq]

Needed something nobody else would use in messenger programs, games, etc. I used to be Fractal until one day I confronted another. Recently I found a SparQz, but that's as close as it comes. I can also be found as [FCT]ClawShrimp at times...don't ask.

[bunkermaster10]

I hate my name.... Is there a way to Change it. I want to change it to Wild Man Wilder. Cause my last name is Wilder... and other things.

Bunkermaster10 just came up one day I was thinking like, I like to play really tight into my bunkers and be as small as possible so I just thought up bunkermaster10, 10 is my favorite number. Its such a lame name hehe.

[Dayspring]

Used to read alot of the Xmen stuff as a kid. Cable was always one of my favorite characters. That's where I got the name from. (One of his alias's)

[Muzikman]

I have had my nick since Jr high. At that time I had not only the largest music collection (Vinyl, Cassettes, and CDs) of any of my friends, but also did recordings for bands. So friends stated calling me "The music man". It stuck and for years I used Musicman until the Internet got popular and these seemed to be a Musicman everywhere ya turned. So, I changed the spelling.

Just to let you know, my Music collection just keeps growing.

over 1000 CDs
over 500 Tapes
over 300 Ablums
Over 100 8-tracks

My music memorabilia collection is also pretty impressive.

[Dayspring]

You know there are some kids on this board who will say "What's an 8 track?" "What's an album?" and even "What's a cassette?"

Makes ya feel good huh?
