Origins of your username/nick?

[Jugernot]

Mine started out as Juggernaut (an unstoppable force), but I was limited to 8 characters back in the IRC days, so I shortened it to Jugernot.

How bout you, where did your nick come from?

[Saint Nick]

My old nickname used to be "NightDarker" because my friend in Florida used the nickname "Daylighter", a popular brand of headlights for off-roading. I just reversed the words around to their antonyms. I should still use that...

[KLin]

First letter of my first name then first 3 letters of my last name.

 

[Canai]

Heh well, I was playing Chrono Trigger on an emu, and I needed to name my character. Cannabis didn't fit (stupid I know, but I was young and stupid), so I somehow came up with Canai. I was still going by Cylune at that time, but when I built my current comp I switched nicks.
