Cubing nicknames

[pcharles93]

How good do I have to be to get a nickname within the cubing community?

That depends more on the type of friends you have then on you speed.

I propose Prins Charles.

Even if you're absolutely awful, if you go to the competitions dressed as a ninja, you'll earn the nickname "The Cubing Ninja" pretty easily. As long as you keep it up, it'll be great. Never break character.

 

[AvGalen]

Do you know how hard it is to "never break character" when your nickname is "mr. nice guy"

Lol.
This KIDNOF relates to the topic but some one on a different forum pointed out something on my name:
"Sloths are slow right?
And yet you still average freally fast"

 

[Siraj A.]

Other cubers call me Siraj.

 

[Erik]

I don't need a nick, just Erik is enough
Or.. Erikku or James

Yeah, James Bond

You don't really get a nickname by being fast, as much as by calling yourself something or acting a certain way. If you want a nickname the best way to start is to take something unique about you and put it out in the open. For example I know of a few people who are not fast but are well-known for their bizarre color scheme, or their unconventional solving style, or their demeanor.

Or you could just have a unique or funny username and go by that all the time. I'm sure a few people out there know me more as qqwref than as my actual name.

[Rama]

Girls at school call me ''Quibus''.

 

[LarsN]

At work I'm often called the professor. This is because the 3x3 cube is called "The professor cube" in danish.

 

[qqwref]

Haha, they call the 3x3 the professor cube? (It's so tiny!) What's the 5x5 then?

I guess it got that name because "Rubiks cube" has a bad ring to it in our tounge. We do that a lot in Denmark, quite a few movies has some really badly translated titles.

I don't think the 4x4 and 5x5 made it to Denmark, so people always go bananas when I show them around (can't wait to show the 7x7)

 

[Henrik]

At my school Im also called Professor of Fessor for short, or Terninge drengen (Cube boy in English)
I dont hear it much but i know people have given me those names

 

[joey]

They call me Inspector Goul...

Who? I thought they call you "Goulash."
