Can you tell us why you chose your nick?

[RoshawnMarkwees]

[braalian]

I know English isn’t your first language, but nobody calls a nickname a “nick”

 

[petro]

Nickname since childhood. A short version of my impossibly long last name.

Also, I love the internal combustion engine and enjoy burning PETROleum.

 

[MostBoringManInTheWorld]

Oh and my username is because I follow Jesus Christ.

No way!

I am floored!

Actually, probably the more correct term would be 'moniker,' an informal name you choose for casual use by a group, similar to a nickname except that term generally implies a friendly name given to you by others, usually close friends or associates thereof.

InGerman it islike this:

Spitzname … a name others give you….
Nick …. a name you choose yourself for a forum
