My username means free/independent/unconstrained in my mother language, which is Hindi. I have been using it in one way or other since a few years now.

I wanted a short twitter handle and I read somewhere that the name xkcd came about because no username with actual meaning sticks as long as you yourself are changing. sure enough, it's been a long time with it now...

I stole mine... at least that is how I remember it. I was a beta tester for Ragnarok Online way back in the day and there was a user run site with info on mobs and items from the game. I liked the name Nitros so much the next game I played I registered the name Nitros7. Since then I have used a version of that name pretty much where ever I go.

It's a childish reason. I liked the username bytehead but most of them are taken so I ended up adding LW because I liked Daniel Lightwing from the movie "Brilliant Young Minds" x

I really liked David Gilmour's black strat and was GASing for one.

Ended up with a Fender Player strat that I swapped the pickguard on and now by GAS is relieved.

I got mine from when I was in school, one of my friends use to draw comics and made a character based of each of his friends and this was the name of my character.

My nickname in real life is vi, I sometimes add a second vi because I think it's cute, and vox is Latin for voice, I think. So, vivivox. My voice.
