How did you get your nickname?

I pretty much made up a sonic character when I was a toddler. (probably around 6.) Here's a quick drawing of him. [img=http://img486.imageshack.us/img486/9628/spikejg4.th.png]
Which is pretty original. (especially for 6!) His name was originally nitro, which is why I made this my name, however when I tried to draw him I realized how hard it was so I downgraded the graphics. However I will make him eventually, but with better shoes.

My usermane comes from my innitals, then a number. I first used it when I started on X-box Live, and I've kept it ever since!

Mines is a real name to say the least. But like when I started the very first time I called myself A-Town Hustle (I lived at Atlanta at that time). Then a few months later, I went with my real name as you see.
