[CyberArtist]

Most people call me Ben.

My full nickname online (as you know) is CyberArtist, but due to a constraint on the length of one's nickname on the IRC network I used to frequent, I shortened it to CyberA. Everyone then knew me as CyberA, thus I sign as CyberA(rtist).

Other online nicknames have been the ever popular "cyba", or "CyberAss" (in reference to my sometimes harsh, but always blut crits of other peoples' work).

My nicknames in real life have been
Benjamin Franklin
Pretty Boy
Mr. Noon (from getting to work late on a regular basis)
Ego Boy (partially, again, from my crits)
Zen (from how I sign my name)
Erin (no idea)

One nickname that's never caught on but I liked (because I made it up) is Plague boy, which is derived from the hebrew translation of my full name (minus my middle name).

First name - Benjamin
Translation - The favorite or right hand son
Last name - Golus
Translation - An extremely bad event, usually refering to the black plague

Then last names are traditionally the name of father. Thus "The favorite son of the Black Plague," which can be shortened to Plague Boy.


Other great nicknames -
A friend of mine I always call Little Bitch (Baseketball reference).
An uncle of mine I've always refured to as Bob-boon, no clue where it came from.
My best friend is usually called Santa around christmas, not because he's a fat white guy, but becase his real name is Santi.
I call my cat "Cat" though her supposed real name is Jasmine. Don't think she cares.

Lastly, the all time greatest nick name ever is what my mom calls me.

Benjaminshaboobopshabangbang

No one has yet figured out how it came about, my mom just knows that what she calls me.

[Highfive]

I gave myself my nickname after hearing a song by the butthole surfers (I think it was them) called "Highfivin' Motherfucker" or something. No-one's ever believed me, though, because there's a toddler's TV show called "Hi5" that came out at the same time

[mumpizz]

mumpizz
stylized from 'mumpitz' which means something like 'nonsense'

[Snorkles]

My nickname "Snorkles" is from a fantasy figure i invented when I went in 6th grade and we got an assignment to invent a figure and describe him so that the others would really understand what he was like. Snorkles is a green creature that lives in the woods of Uppsala. He eats on a lonely Mcdonalds deep in the woods and he lives in a tree. I even drew a sketch of him, and he became my mascot.
