RicardoRix
My real name is Richard. When I was 12 (in the 80's) and played a BBC B car racing game called REVS, I wanted a name that sounded more like a racing driver (Riccardo Patrese), so I came up with the snazzy Ricardo Rix.
Later, my first forays in on-line gaming was with Trackmania (another car racing game), and I choose same nickname as a bit of a joke to myself, little did I know that I would be all consumed with this game for about 4 years even helping
Nadeo (the developers of the game) with their\our StarTrack campaign on TMX website that I helped develop.

I know it sounds like a 12 year olds name, and I'm now 41, but hey-ho. I can't think of a better one.
This nickname has since stuck. My online persona is destined to be a 12 year old fantasy racing driver forever!

ducttapecuber:

ducttape: I used to create complicated duct tape art (if anyone cares to see I'll send you pictures)

cuber: I do this thing where I solve an 80's toy sorta fast

ducttapecuber originally started as a youtube channel years ago where I was going to post both cubing and duct tape art videos. Yeah, that never really happened
 
My initials: Timothy Paul Stockman. I've used this since 1979 as a user ID (on a unix system back then). Before that, my randomly assigned ID at the computer center was IX5.
 
For the first few months I was on this forum, I somehow didn't notice that irontwig's username was iron twig. I read it as iron-t-wig. Didn't notice the word twig. I randomly noticed that it was iron twig later and I was amazed I'd ever not noticed.

I had more than a few months of misreading antonie faz fan's name. It was only around a month ago that someone who had also been misreading it pointed it out.
 
sneaklyfox - There's a story behind this. I had a really good friend in university. I knew her schedule inside and out. One day I had some free time and I happened to be walking near a building where she had class. I realized that her class would end soon so I decided I'd find someplace to watch the exit of the building where I knew she would come out without her being able to see me. When she came out I ran up behind her to give her a surprise hug but in my excitement actually knocked both of us to the ground, into a bit of a muddy patch. We had to get cleaned up after that and we got some scrapes on our elbows and things, but we laughed about the incident for a long time and it was just so memorable she said it was like I was a fox hunting for a bunny. It was supposed to be "sneaky" but when we talked about it we always mispronounced it "sneakly". At the time, we mispronounced other similar words with the added "L" because it was uniquely us. We also thought it sounded better with the "L" so it stuck as Sneakly Fox and I started using it as a username regularly. We came up with a lot of pairing nicks for each other.
