Before GFY, I typically used one of two other nicks for all of my online stuff.
While I have been online since the beginning (bbs days), and in this industry since 1997, I did not really get involved on the industry boards until 2003. I simply lurked until around 2005 when I became more active, and then picked this handle based on the niche, and branding. No other reason.
I used the name "Nickname" before but It got confusing so I switched to Nicky, don't know why I use either of em since my real name is Daniel lol. It's been too long to change now though.
Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants
think about that
When I created my first aol account back in the days of dial up, I had problems finding a good screen name. I ended up with ilibarcodesili, aol used sans serif fonts and it looked like lllBARCODESlll. This sounds ridiculous now but back then I used to customize my aol profile, make it animate etc using aols butchered version of html. Everyone who did it had a cool, hackerish sounding name and that was mine. =D
I widdled it down to barcodes over time, I guess out of laziness? lol
When I created my company I tried to think of something that was easy to remember and would stick in your head. Sarah Designs sounded silly. Z is a very unique letter that does not have that many common names starting with it that I could think of. Zoo something was what I was trying to use. I was working on cam and running a cam studio and had a model named Zuzana and fell in love with the name cause it had 2 z's in it.
I drinked some german soda, and company name made that is pronounced 'seeandsee' (S&S) , so i found it interesting and used it for my first registarion with funny little avatar
My name is Richard, and I changed the "i" in Richard to "o" and came up with "Rochard", pronounced ROCKhard. It's because I'm "always hard at work", meaning I have a stiffy or I'm a hard worker - but usually both.
I've used sarettah since around 94 or 95. I needed a unique username for swbell I think it was and I had the word hatteras written on a nearby piece of paper so I typed it in backwards and have been using it since.
Little did I know that it is apparently a girls name in italian.
I built a site for a Playboy model back in 97, a bunch of us were in Vegas and she kept telling everyone what a wizard I was at building websites. We went to the Excalibur to shoot craps and there's a little wizard on the $100 chips named Wizzo, so she started calling me Wizzo along with everyone else and nicname just stuck.
I got the spaz nick because I ask a LOT of questions. sometimes one answer will lead to multiple questions and I tend to get excited about good things and upset about bad things... sometimes out of proportion. The labz was added when I started a video editing/trans-coding company years and years ago (now defunct). And I liked the sound of spazlabz
too many guys named mike on the old ynot board
since i owned centerfolds.com and gatefold.com, it was either Ron (Cybererotica) or RB (Maxcash) started calling me MikeFold to distinguish me from the other peeps named Mike.
Funny, I still get invoices to Mike Fold as though thats my real last name.

I used to give you shit because of your car and cause I thought you were kinda creepy, but now, seeing that you are a father and your intentions are good, I am a fan of Rochard.
I actually had two nicks registered here,but forgot pass,which is why i have different nickname on several boards.I used this nick in games,and i think it came from words of dark templars in starcraft where they were saying something like "for tel kelar"so i came with klen telar and adjusted it to klentelaris.
Got into an argument with a dude on an MSN chatboard way back when, and said, "I will amputate your fuckin' head dude..." and began thinking, that would grab attention when I needed it and it works well shortened (Amp).... thus the name.
It's not a very interesting story and doesn't have any deep esoteric meaning, but it's the truth.

2008 "sundevilangels"
which was banned due to all the hate towards my work after defending myself against
all the false claims only made by rival shooters or, companies trying to ruin my rep to only keep me shooting for them.
My nickname has been "Loki" since I was about 5 if I recall right, a family friend dubbed me that after the Norse god Loki It's a good and bad thing depending on how you look at it lol
my first nick on GFY was VDC-Loki which was for "V1rtualDesires Cash" the first incarnation of my program which then became Plane***ash.
I finally got the VDC- dropped on most boards and now am just Loki
