Hello everybody!
I had the idea to ask to you why we choose a particular nickname on this forum and not another.
For me, i wanted to take Amiga54 but i made an error during creating my count and i had to choose an other nickname nearest of the last (Amigo54)
Amiga54 because i had 2 Amiga (A500 then A1200)
And you?
PS: if the reason of the choice is personal, of course you can not to give a response.

I took MrMen because it brings back memories. 30 years ago my brother-in-law started a screen printing business in his parentâs garage. Some of the Mr Men characters were on the T-shirts he printed, and that name has been stuck in my head for the last few decades.
My brother had an Amiga 500 â great graphics and sound at the time. I had an Atari 800XL, and then an Amstrad 128.
Hi MrMen!
Itâs funny how a remembrance can be persistent in the mind of people, particulary when you are young.
Itâs true that they are pretty, these men!
Thank for your response.

PS: and for my other pseudo (Xierra), itâs an another historyâŚ
I personally go by the nickname âJoshingtonâ, because itâs a take on Washington D.C., and thatâs where the White House is located, plus my other nickname, Josh. Not that itâs related to history and all that, I just think it sounds funny.
Thank Josh for your response.

Nice story and great topic!
For me I have Static in my name because I am always full of electricity like when you touch someone you zap them. Itâs from the fabric brushing together to create that static charge and I always happen to have it and so thatâs how that part became in my nickname.
Yeti is chosen because itâs one of my favorite creatures, plus I always joke about how fast my hair grows even when cutting it.
Thatâs how my nickname was born. Simple stuff really but I like it 
Itâs very original as answer, I must say and I didnât expect it at all!
Static as electric, i didnât think at that because the word âstaticâ is near of the french word âstatiqueâ which shows one thing motionless .
Thank for your answer Ryan.

Hello, Amigo54!
Nice explanations so far! Unfortunately mine is nothing special. I wanted to create the name for my game that included a wizard protagonist. I thought then that Rasterisko would be cool. And Rasterisko was really supposed to be the name of the game but not the name of the wizard character. But all my friends inevitably understood that the name was the characterâs. In the end the game didnât go ahead, hahaha, and now I intend to use the name to create my google account for publish games, GDgames etc.
Great topic, Iâm enjoying seeing why everyone picked their nickname.
Mine is nothing special. I had just started using GDevelop and was blown away by my first crude attempt at a game. It seemed impossible to me that a complete computer klutz like myself could create something like this! I felt so lucky that I had stumbled onto GDevelop, and that I lived in times like this where tools such as GDevelop were available, and for free! So I had come to the forum to ask a few questions and needed a nickname, I put Lucky J because I was feeling lucky and my name starts with a J. They didnât allow spaces though, so I changed it to Lucky-j even though that looks extremely ugly to me.
@MrMen: Somehow I have tiny figurines of âMr Bumpâ and âMr Greedyâ but I really canât remember why. 
Nickname? My one is an acronym: if one looks real close, one will figure out. 
I use my nickname â99 Studiosâ because I wanted to use the words â99â and âStudiosâ in a name (IDK why)
Is Ambytar an acronym for American Made Baby Yeti Tobias Arpad RaĂ?
Well I guessed the tar but how on earth did you come up with the rest of it?
@MrMen:
Haha 
âArt and Music byâ with a silent âandâ 
Well, I started using my username on Instagram first when I started learning pixel art. It was actually my (then) boyfriend who suggested âmental bloxxâ because 1) Iâm a writer and writerâs block is a thing and 2) pixel art uses squares lol
Iâve been using it ever since. I actually like writing it as âmental.bloxxâ with the period in the middle, but not every platform allows certain (or any) special characters in usernames.
