What's Your Poker Name and Why?

edited August 2009 in Poker Chat
Guess I'll start this One!

Solidstan1 - Well simple, my name is Stan, and SolidStan was the first name i thought of when I started online gameing in general. Nothing to do with me being a Solid player (haha).

The "1" thats a different story, I had a phone call from sky poker asking me why I had two accounts, both with player name solidstan, I did not know this myself but the address used to open the accounts matched (I think i remember now opening an account many years ago, but never could got the hang of the game) and then opened a second account by mistake.

Sky then mistakenly closed the wrong account (the one i was using), and sent me my login and pass for my old account. Then when I logged in, it requested I change my user name, as solidstan had already been taken, so i added the 1.

    Used to have a profile on some stupid networking site when I was younger and I'd just bought my first car...a clio so my name on there was cliokid.

    Anyhow, I moved into my own flat a couple of years ago and had no internet for the first week or so, then I remembered that there was Sky Poker which you could play through the TV, so I signed up for that using CLIOKID thinking it didn't matter what I'd call myself on it as I'd never use it again once I got the internet....two years later I'm still resenting my choice to call myself this.

    Although to be fair the name annoys the heck out of me, so I hope it tilts others too. Lol.

    Mines pretty boring!

    I was just creating my account and couldnt think of an alias and the film 'Norbit' was on at the time, so yea thats it! lol

    ClioKid - My first car was a Clio too so your name always brings back some happy memories actually haha.

    Mine is boring...second name and fav number...Ryan86 would be more accurate actually...wish I could change it now tho to something a bit more inventive.

    My poker name explains itself unfortunately, but I am trying, some people might say I'm very trying.

    The first account I created when I first discovered the interweb was on an Elvis Costello fan site.  Registered my name as 'So Lacklustre' which is taken from a corny line in Elvis' song Possesion (fantastic track btw, on the Get Happy!! album).  The line is from this verse:

    "Now you're sending me your best wishes,
    signed with love and vicious kisses
    You lack lust, you're so lacklustre
    Is that all the strength you can muster?
    Possession"

    Have used that name, or derivatives of it, ever since (9/10 years).

    I'm a big Kevin Smith fan and love the Jay & Silent Bob films, hence the name. Probably should've gone for Jay really seeing as my name's Jason.

    I sort of named myself after a beer - a real ale of course. Way way back, well about 4 years ago, the first name I picked was Vital Spark, a beer brewed by Fyne Ales, but that name wasn't available so I went for the next one along which was Somerled (also brewed by Fyne Ales) - he was also the first Lord of the Isles back in 1400 or something. It was available and the rest, as they say, is history. 
    My dog's also called Somer which I felt was possibly the female equivalent of Somerled. Which isn't really relevant but adds a bit of colour to an otherwise dull tale.

    My name came from the first time i ever played poker. It was in the casino at Westcliff near Southend.
     I was visiting my brother and he knew of my interest in watching poker on tv so persuaded me to go into the £20 rebuy.
    I took a peak into the cardroom and one of the lady dealers, who was setting up, started talking to me, with the usual where are you from.
    Anyway to cut a long story short this lady was the final table dealer and when i sat down her words were"ah mr middlesbrough is still in, at which my brother said theres your nickname col.
    I had cut it down to mr-mbro and its stuck. 

    col
