Err. My nickname is misko (Pronounced Mish-ko). 27 is a random number I pick to fill in the blanks once the first time i registered online myself for something (a game). And it, er, stuck. Sometimes I pick a different number to prevent myself from being to easily tracked.

I used to go by Renomonty but changed it to mcclay. It has elements of my first and last names in it.
I'm guessing your name is Mack Claymore?

And the prize goes to Zrk2! Now if you can figure out my first name you get bonus points. Hint: it begins with a c and is a common name.

Carl or Colton.

Mine is an obscure reference to Terry Pratchett's The Light Fantastic. It just sounded cool.

It irritates me extremely when I have to limit the characters. My usernames are now some combination of (My) (User)Name is Immat(erial)[Stupid character limits]. You can call be Immaterial or MNII. Or, if you find the quote, you can call me ________. I think that's about the right amount of letters.

Neither are right, think even more common of a name than Carl.

Charles, of course.
Edit: That said, I don't think this is you.
Edit 2: You're probably the the first one.

My username has been with me for my whole internet life, and came about while I tried to think of a name on good ol' NSiders (I miss you :(). Kirby has always been my most loved video game character, and I wanted some original name based around it (no to the numbers). I think it was inspired by Nintendo Power (I miss you too :(), but changed it to "powered" to signify that my being was powered by Kirby. I might have actually started as Kirbypower, as I did use it a few times. Occasionally go by Kirby Powered, but it's become more natural as a single word to me.

In any case, my love for Kirby lives on, so the name holds true. Also I'm just really used to it by now, after...I dunno maybe eight years of use?

So there you have it, the story of my life totally rad name.
